thiiis.

Instead of wishing for people to go on hiatus, I'd wish for them to plan their goddamn work and to be realistic about finishing it.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Well, to give an example of what I mean, one of the artists I'm talking about is now in art school to learn how to draw better. She keeps trying to keep up her weekly update schedule, and she keeps apologizing every time she misses an update or puts out an update with no backgrounds. It's pretty clear she's not going to be able to maintain a weekly schedule so long as she's in art school, and one way or another, she'll need to adjust to that eventually. I just don't want her to burn out before that.

Re: OP

[dreemyweird]

I can understand that. Here we have a change of circumstances which requires the author to re-examine their original plans. So maybe a hiatus (if they know how long it is going to take them to finish their studies) or a different update schedule would make sense.

I guess the situation I was thinking about was an artist's starting a comic and then beginning to struggle midway through because of RL and other seemingly minor factors. If that happens, a hiatus pretty much means the death of the project. And it is likely that they failed to properly plan their work.

ETA: in fact, maybe suggesting a different schedule could work?

Re: OP

[dinogrrl]

Yeah, this. A few comics I follow take planned breaks after each chapter/arc, or while the artist is in school. Waiting for the next update really sucks but I can deal with it. I'd rather an artist recognize their own limitations and RL constraints ahead of time (or recognize them as circumstances change) and account for them, than be caught by surprise/realize they have poor time management skills and burn themselves out trying to balance everything.
