I've been meaning to do a blog post on this for a while, but making some new Jekyll themed websites on Github. If you have any good Unfiction and Webnovels to recommend, do get in touch on WeirdSearch.
On that note, I've decided to market my content in a slightly different way: it's roughly analogous to the "graphic novel of comic strips". In this case, the flow would be similar to an American comic strip, but would be a continuous narrative similar to what you would find in a "limited series" in the comic book world:
It would follow a format similar to text comics: Text Comics But with one major difference: because the strip is arranged into two columns of two panels, and yes even read right to left ( this may change with my conlang ) the "gutter space captions" are either placed below or above the panels. For example, in larger panels, I often need to replace the caption above the panel. I like to call these "strip novels", and specifically Four Frame Novels. This format would be used to tell more adult narratives, rather than the gags you'll find in newspapers. And generally distributed straight to trade paperback rather than syndicated in print.
I'm also finding because I'm working with a constructed language, that means there isn't a commonly known font ( but there is one I made ) for lettering comics. This meant for a long time I had to return to hand lettering. Although now I'm able to use a font for that purpose.
How this will impact my publishability I'm not sure, I may need to format a website specifically for such layout. This will also impact how I adapt short stories set in the same world as Uploaded Fairy.
If the reading order changes, it will be top to bottom and left to right, the horizontal inverse of what I'm doing now.
The eventual goal for this is for western comics sort of like what Boilet did for French comics, becoming an entity that wasn't quite BD or Manga. But for American comic strips.
Impact On Other Media
This means for other multimedia I enjoy like visual novels and unfiction, I'm going to be rebranding visual novels as "interactive webcomics", and have more of a panel per panel layout. I'm also experimenting with a form of unfiction based on a Jekyll pages blog, that tells a novel length work in blog posts, videos, podcasts, and audio-visuals that need to be read in a specific order to get the full narrative.
I'll plug the youtube channel for that later on.
