Bibliography II

[HalfTangible]

I'll be honest and say that if I couldn't get it for free I would stop reading. Not because Bibliography lacking in any way, but because I have access to plenty of high quality comics for free. I would greatly miss this community, but it would be an unfortunate casualty of the change.

It could work like OotS' books, ya know what i mean? =/ show up online but also be in book format? Gaijin Manga's address would be on the inside of the book saying 'for the latest updates blahblahblah' and if people wanted to, they'd go there and read it online which would then generate hits and views, which is good for Gaijin.

I'm not completely sure but i think a book is cheaper than a TV Ad, sold or no =P and more effective given the target audience

I'm fairly certain the books would be more along the line of compilations of sections of the comic. It would still be possible to read it free online, but you could also buy the book and read it where ever. It also most likely would include some extra content not available online, but that would be up to Elagune.
Mind this is all just based on what I've seen many other webcomics do, so I may be wrong.

Dunno how I feel... it would largely have to depend on the quality of the printing, you know? The wrong format, the wrong distribution method, and whatnot could kill it. In addition, making it print-only would, by and large, make it inaccessible to me... I don't shop online much and the local market isn't... exactly good for this kind of thing.

Re: Raoul development
the next thing out of his mouth needs to be something more typical. if only to see the reactions of Ben and Satomi.

Re: Printed copy of Bibliography
That would be awesome! I hope there would still be updates on the website, though. Hard copies are great, but page-by-page updates keep readers interested and waiting.

[ref]

I agree with printed compilations and online updating. Not that I expect the printed version to cross the ocean, sadly.

[Fable Wright]

I definitely like the idea of a printed copy and an online version.

[GaijinMangaRep]

We would definitely keep it online also. What we're thinking is a collector's edition for print.

[Crafty Cultist]

I think if your going to put out a print version, it has to have something in addition to what is already online. A few extra strips, notes from the author, or something like that.

Thats how these webcomic collections tend to work.
But yeah, a print edition would be awesome.

Well, I obviously have no objections to this. If it gets Elagune a few extra bucks that's great. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yeah, that sounds great.

[Mina Kobold]

We'll buy anything related to Bibliography, even if it's just a mouldy piece of paper with the word on it

I think the printed version sound like a good idea, sadly I probably won't be able to buy it either.

Denmark doesn't get that much stuff, the geeks with jobs order it online but wile I may be a geek I am far too lazy to get a job

[IcemanJRC]

I'd dig a hard copy of Bibliography, but it'd be a little hard for me to get a hold of one... I'd buy it if I could though.

Same here =/ i guess it'll eventually be at Barnes and Noble (the only store in the mall i can stand at all) but till then i probably won't be able to.

[GaijinMangaRep]

Just to clarify, we are also considering adding a store to the site and allowing for online purchase of things like books or shirts for Bibliography, and eventually we would move to retail stores.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Oh, if I only had some spending money...

[Maximum Zersk]

I would buy it.

If I had the ability to, of course.

[The Dark Fiddler]

Would I buy Bibliography in book form? No, but only because I lack the disposable income to do so. I'd certainly ask for it for birthdays and such.

Anyway, I just wanted to note that as I Googled "giantitp", the second result that came up in the suggestions was "giantitp Bibliography". Just saying.

[IcemanJRC]

I see a pattern here... It seems Elagune doesn't have fans with money...

[Maximum Zersk]

Oh, I have money. I just don't have the ability to purchase stuff online. Yet, anyway.

But I think it may have something to do with a lot of people here being young. :P

[Creed]

With the exception being me, who is older and has no money.

[HalfTangible]

You know the saying, 'don't go to work on an empty stomach'? Turns out it's triple true if you work at a grocery store.

It was number 3 for me. Hoorah, nonetheless.

<insert age vs money discussion here>

I'm of the "young and no money" type. In my twenties and paying for grad school.

I second this.

You call that young, old man?

Just kidding

Elagune: Financed by his fans' parents since 2010.

You win.

What do you win, you say? A poke of course!

*pokes*

Yes. Please finance me so I can splurge and actually put some salt on my instant noodles.

Art students are poor.

Anyway, new page up.

I will give the contest thread a check-up soon. I need some extras.

Ooooooo! Ooo! Pick Jasper, Pick Jasper!

Which reminds me...

Ah yes, I forgot. This is the internet. 20 here is like 60 irl.


Eve's nonchalant "oh yeah, I'm signing you up" made me smile. Fun update.

[Zefir]

Again a good Page and it brought some questions up:
Are Pages allowed to join sports like Raoul said it would not fair if you made the 100m run with the power of Luna Codex or? Or maybe all GoldMedal winner in our world are pages but we don't know.

I would like this Idea. I have money and I only need one hower to met a shop where I can order it. I would buy it even if there is no extra content, because I could show them up to my friends and read them on my way to work.
