Hello everyone, I have something I’d like to ask you all.


I’ll admit that I’m not very good at managing my community. I used to make animations in Thailand’s Stickman community. Back then, I went by the name Topkillgrean.


It was really fun. On that site, everyone would create their own characters based on the storyline, where everyone was a fighter in some Thaistickman faction or something like that.


At one point, I made a 5-episode animation. The length gradually increased from 5 minutes up to 19 minutes. It took me a total of 4 years to finish all 5 episodes.


Because it was stickman work, the production time wasn’t too long per episode, so I often used my friends’ characters as supporting characters. It felt like we were making something like Avengers: Endgame together.


Looking back, I feel like I want to do something like that again. A place where everyone creates characters based on the same story setting, helping to form pieces of that world together. But I don’t know how to start.


At first, I thought about creating a Facebook group for this. But I didn’t want it to end up with everyone just posting their own work and then leaving, with each piece being standalone and not really contributing to anything bigger. So I never decided to start something like that, and I don’t know how to begin.

I think a Discord server is better than a Facebook one. I'm just giving my opinion, as I have no experience with communities either.

Thats a really amazing and so cool idea, I was thinking to tell you to do a discord channel but idk of that work, but i would be there if you decide to make that project 👍

You need to ask yourself a few questions before you go down this path: 1. Do you want this community to be exclusive or not? While the idea of being all inclusive sounds amazing, you run into the issue that you just mentioned - people saying "look at this cool character I made!" And then disappearing. With a group like us, we're here to support you and hang around constantly. 2. What can you provide for the group? We're here because we like your style and your animations (and boobies). That thing you did with people's OCs was pretty cool. Not something you have to do all the time but something that would keep people vested. You "interacted" with us by including us in your world just for a moment. Then displayed that inclusion on a public stage. That's awesome! 3. Are you willing to accept help? You're an artist/animator creating a world with cute and cool characters (and potentially cute and cool stick people). Managing a group can be a job in itself. Balancing that with the quality of work you put out won't be easy to do alone. Walk through those questions in your head! We'll be hanging around here.

That's pretty awesome!!! A discord server would work well for you to keep your community in the loop and stuff on demand and instantly instead of having to post about it! It's way better than Facebook. Plus, everyone can really share ideas, chat with each other, and post their own things too!! You'll also have great engagement with everyone too!!! Artists must stuck together!!

I was gonna suggest a discord server but it seems I've been beaten to the punch

I'd say something like that should be built on a "template." Like, to not build a big world on the word "go." It would be more beneficial to start small and with a lot of control than having a big wildfire of ideas that could quickly grow out of control. Like a private discord (as recommended by the subs here) so you can hash out ideas with them. Hope this helps.

I think with the stickman example has another element to it. in that example, There was a clear theme and possibly setting. Stickman characters with fighting as a theme, likely within a similar setting. I would like to see definite rules for the world. like what kinda OCs can be there. what's there, how do things work? It could help to develop a solid setting, something people can imagine and create things for.

with the current examples so far, maybe something similar to what Cartoon Network did in their CN Real Era. a city where everyones OCs exist between being actors for their respective media.

Thanks, everyone. I actually already have a Discord server, but I'm not very good at managing a community when the chat blows up because I'm not available to chat with fans in real-time. Plus, there's the issue of it being in English, which I'm not proficient in. Anyway, I think it would be better if I had a comic that tells the story of the characters and the world I've created. I'm starting to feel that animation isn't fast enough or able to tell a story in enough depth to build a community. With that in mind, I want to hurry and finish the opening intro so I can start on the comic.
