error283437 asked:

Can i use your comic of steven universe white diamond au for one dubs I'll put the credits in the description I promise

I have a lot of people asking me about this and I know at some point I even had it in my FAQ but I had to take it out because people weren’t even reading THAT correctly:

If you want to dub my comics, I’m okay with it BUT

BUT. 

Simply putting ‘credit in the description’ is not enough. 

Credit me in the dang video itself!! Three seconds! That’s all I ask. At the end or in the beginning - a three second card of ‘Original Comic by @thechekhov on tumblr. Read the full comic on Tapas (link in the description).’

This is the MINIMUM credit I ask for.

I’m sorry I sound so uptight but…

I’ve had too many people dubbing my comic, getting thousands of views/likes etc and their ‘credit’ has been a measly ‘comic by chekhov’ at the bottom of their description. Whomst is chekhov? Where do the watchers find the comic? Nothing.

The sad thing is, most people don’t even LOOK in the description because that’s not how YouTube works. You watch the video, and you get your necessary info FROM THE VIDEO. I scroll through 200 comments of ‘hey where can I read this’ and ‘when are you gonna make more comics?’ as if the video poster is themselves the artist, and an occasional kind person popping in to give a tapas link to these commenters.

Dubbers go through the effort of adding soundscaping to the whole dang comic, add in cutesy little ‘bloopers’ and their own fun characters, go through the trouble of giving THEMSELVES credit and adding on their Patreon IN THE VIDEO ITSELF for 30 seconds, and all I get a mention down in the description. 

If you use my art in the video itself, credit me in the damn video as well! Please!

💎 General Questions 💎  

Q. What is this?

This is a Steven-is-the-son-of-White-Diamond AU story told through asks and mini-comics. It’s written and illustrated by @thechekhov

Q: Where can I read the comic in chronological order? 

You can CLICK HERE to read it on Tapas!

or if the link doesn’t work, go to the tapas.io website and search for ‘Steven’. It should come up.

Q: How come you don’t post the comics directly to tumblr anymore?

Because tumblr has a really terrible tag organization system. If I were to post to tumblr, some comics would STILL be left out or be out of order. It’s 500% more work for me to do it that way, and I’d be inundated with people asking “wait where is the link to THIS comic” or “I think the tagged comics are out of order” and that’s just not worth it.

Q: How often do you update the comic?

A: Regular comics update every two weeks, but larger comics may take up to a month to make. If you’re unsure, check Tapas! There will be a countdown timer to the new comic there.

When new comics are made, the comic drops on Tapas on Friday, 6pm PST, and to tumblr on Saturday.

Q: What are the tags for tumblr?

A: Tumblr sucks at tagging, but all comics should be tagged as #wd!steven and all answered asks (those that are directed at ME, the author) are tagged #chekhov answers so if you don’t want asks on your dashboard, blacklist those.

Q. Do you have a Discord? 

A. Yes. Some channels ARE spoiler-heavy, so be careful when going in. Also, as it is a Pg-13 server, please read the rules of the server before posting.

Before reading the rest of the FAQ, I suggest you read the comic in its entirety. The rest of the questions WILL contain spoilers for major plot points!
