Good Idea, Bad Idea? Throwback Day?
Added 2020-01-04 21:23:54 +0000 UTCWe easily have over 500 episodes of Adorkable Twilight & Friends now. That is inconceivable! Any tv show at this point would be on syndication and rerunning their episodes! Sooo.... Saturday is usually a off day for us in terms of posting content on our Tumblr blog.
What do you think of the idea of having a "throwback" day when we repost an old comic episode for people to "Rediscover?" There is a lot of old content people have never read and this might be an interesting way to share some old content. If we do it this way, we can even let you (Adorkable Patron Pals) choose the random episode we post each week.
We have many ways we can do this. Show random old comics, or restart the series from the beginning and play episodes in order on Saturday's so people can somewhat slowly catch up.
We have also in the past sometimes used Saturday as a random drawing day when a character appears with a blurb to get people to comment. Other times we just repost an episode from earlier in the week.
I would love to know your thoughts or if you have other ideas.

I'm loving the feedback. I will work with you all on how to do this best.
2020-01-07 02:02:14 +0000 UTCI think it's a good idea. Not everyone started following since 2015, and not everyone would dig up all the missed episodes. And as time goes by, it gets harder and harder to revisit older episodes because the newer ones keep coming out and expanding the storyline.

2020-01-05 15:40:59 +0000 UTCIn my opinion a scheduled "rerun" of episodes is better than republishing selected episodes. Some story arcs span several episodes and showing single episodes out of context would be confusing. Or maybe have "reruns" AND regular "best of"s? Not sure how to realise these ideas on tumblr and other outlets, tho, without causing confusion for readers. Numbering episodes sequentially? On the other hand, whoever wants to read the ATaF comics chronologically to follow the stories can do so, e.g. on tumblr (BTW, the link posted here https://adorkabletwilightandfriends.tumblr.com/fromthebeginning does not display the comic from the beginning, Adding "chrono" does and even then I'm seeing issues with the sequence and the number of posts might be capped https://adorkabletwilightandfriends.tumblr.com/tagged/adorkable/chrono). As another idea, "The Whiteboard" webcomic has chapter links to help new readers get into the story http://www.the-whiteboard.com/ .

2020-01-05 14:07:20 +0000 UTCI like the idea. I know there's I think about a years worth of comics I missed from the beginning. I never had a chance to go back and read them once I found the comic mainly because I didn't want to go through them all at once. Reposting one once a week would be a nice way to slowly go through them.
