Captain Pea's Fantabulastic Thread For To Chat In

hey, I love G4. Spike, not so much.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 7:49 pm

Why would it go on Spike? Girls can read webcomics too.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 7:52 pm

I think it's fairly obvious it would be in a prime time spot on ABC
Commercials would cost upwards of $300,000 a second

Also, if it was a people's choice type thing, there wouldn't be much contest since a handful of webcomics hold a huge advantage as far as readers. Just look at TWC every month, and those aren't even the biggest.

Girls can also watch Spike
I mean, depending on the channels they get

animated and voiced versions of the webcomic characters.

Because Spike, while testosterone poisoned, seems more receptive to nerdery than a lot of channels. They host video game awards, for example. I think G4 is more likely though.

I honestly think this could be a thing on the internet.

Yeah- A bunch of Webcomics could enter this list, and readers could vote for the comics they like. Then they get put in order of votes, most votes is first, least votes is last- hey, if it works, we could have new winners every month!

But yeah, snarkiness aside, a more formal awards thing with individual categories and perhaps even a physical ceremony would be kinda neat.

Instead of anything like TWC, it would be annual, with animated hosts, and categories.

shadowhaz · Post by **shadowhaz** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:12 pm

I wonder who would watch it

Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:14 pm

I would. and the forums of each comic could have tryouts for who would voice the characters.

The weird part would be hearing voices put to characters. That always sounds weird. The only comic that's ever really pulled that off is Peanuts. I suppose Garfield had a voice in his TV Show, but I personally think it sounds a bit off, maybe because I never saw it as a kid.

shadowhaz wrote:I wonder who would watch it

*raises hand*
The main problem is most of the comics would be obscure to the audience since there's so many online- but come to think of it, that'd kind of be a good thing, spread the readership, eh?

What the cuss, forums

the voiced version of slightly damned is fairly good. the link is on the site. though that may be because the author herself is actually involved.

shadowhaz · Post by **shadowhaz** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:25 pm

pea has a good point introducing something into a new plane of media will in time atract a crowd of potencial readers

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:33 pm

well the most popular ones would be the ones that would win.

I seriously wonder who someone would see about putting something like this together.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:34 pm

Let me note that the idea of a webcomic award show would never happen. But I'd totally watch it.

Also, Cheerwine you guys. I saw it today and I always wanted to try it (it's kind of hard to find outside of the South) so I got four bottles. Holy cuss is it good! <3 You Southerners have it good.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:42 pm

in ur forums, smashing ur dreams.

i'll admit it'd be hard to find support, take a lot of time and effort, and would start with a small audience, but would it really NEVER happen?

shadowhaz · Post by **shadowhaz** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:43 pm

only if the fan base was large eough to warent an award show only then psyke

I've never tried it. but my Psychology teacher did, and her review wasn't that good.

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:49 pm

For some reasion I find the concept of a comic award sho Very interesting. I believe that if there was a sufficient fan base then it would likely go over well if publicised enough.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:53 pm

the current top webcomic on TWC has had an average of a thousand votes per day. so it was at least a thousand voters. And that's just one comic. AND that's just the people who vote.
I'm not saying the number is HUGE, but a fair amount of people read Webcomics.

shadowhaz · Post by **shadowhaz** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:54 pm

I wonder who would host the award show itself any ideas :3

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:56 pm

That is a tough one Shadow, there would need to be auditions.

The question has been answered. twice.

Webcomics as a medium are just unfit for TV presentation. They don't move.

shadowhaz · Post by **shadowhaz** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:57 pm

Id love to see steve harvey host it XD

Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:58 pm

it would probably actually be a youtube comedian. you know, a web comic.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:59 pm

That can easily be fixed with animation.

I don't like many webcomics, and avoid webcomic awards like the plague. >.> Pretty much the only reason I cared when this comic got an award was that it added notability to the comic when people decided to make a Wikipedia article for it, which meant less learning the hard way that Wikipedia is not for vainly advertising things that aren't noteworthy at all and the forum being upset. Sorry, guys.

Foxstar, I think I've earned the right to be banned again.

Grant, hush. If you could be banned for not being interested in something other forumites are, there would be no members left.

Seriously, dude, stock up on self-esteem! You know I like you, but I like you most when you're not putting yourself down. You've done nothing wrong and you'll not be banned.

If that extends to everybody, Diss, then oops. If not, then yay. I dunno.

I was specifically replying to mathgrant, but I think several forum members really could use an infusion of self-confidence. Too many people think poorly of themselves without good cause.

This is the part where Sleet makes some crack about pots calling kettles black or whatever. ;3

This is my favorite forum ever. A forum is only as good as its members. I'm also the best person. As a result, the best person likes most of you guys. Therefore there is no reason to hate yourselves.

...Except you, Kristjian. [/randomly selected member]

If sleet's the best person, there's no hope for the rest of us.
