New Comic Poll - Occupation
Added 2020-12-15 04:31:55 +0000 UTCWhile I'm working on stuff to wrap up Con Artist, I'm doing some planning on the next story.
Our main character is a streamer/vlogger/YouTuber. They lose a bet and have to put body and traits up on the "Trade Market" for a year and document it.
My question for you at this juncture is "What do they stream?" Maybe they have a YouTube channel. A few different options this can go. This is going to alter their world and friends. What awaits them in the future. They may end in a different field than they start. Each gives us a world to play in.

There is a lot of story value in that type of person. But I think any off the options work. Great ideas though!

2021-01-01 15:56:19 +0000 UTCMy pick would be a Logan/Jake Paul style YouTube "prank" channel. 1) A person doing that type of channel would seem like the type of person who would take a bet where if they lost, would put their body and traits up on a "Trade Market" and would also seem like the type of person who would put their body and traits on a "Trade Market" and document the changes, probably for the possible increase in view count. 2) I actually really hate Logan/Jake Paul style "prank" YouTube channels. With "Con Artist", I didn't want Gwen to lose her old life as an artist/writer. I was happy she was getting to be a woman, since she had been wanting to be a woman, but I was worried she was just going to be stuck as a booth babe cosplayer and that's it. At least now, she's going to still be a artist/writer who just happens to also cosplay as well, which I think is pretty cool. In this new story, if the main character starts as something loathsome and awful as a Logan/Jake Paul style "prank" content creator, then I wouldn't be upset if he loses that life and changes personality-wise to stop being that type of person and content creator. If anything I would probably root for them. Maybe he'll change into a nicer person who makes/creates better and not awful content. So I feel that story-wise, making him an Logan/Jake Paul style YouTube "prankster" would make sense and fit the story better. And as a reader, I wouldn't care if he lost that life and would be more welcoming of the changes that happen to him and would hope that maybe he would become a better person after the changes. Also, what type of story would this be? It could be a redemption story, where the main character starts off as a Jake/Logan Paul style YouTube "prankster", but then gets changed and little by little becomes a better person and then ends up as a video game streamer or something cool and better than YouTube "prankster". Or it could be a comeuppance story, where the main character is an unredeemable jerk who's a Jake/Logan Paul YouTube "prankster" who then gets changed and then ends up as a video game streamer as a "Twitch thot" or as a girly girl YouTuber who does make up tutorials and clothing try on videos. Just pitching some ideas. Sorry it took so long to comment my thoughts. As you can tell, I had a lot to say and was typing this out a little at a time. Anyway, looking forward to this story and seeing what you decide to do with it.

2020-12-15 05:09:15 +0000 UTCYeah, definitely has that more open loose vibe of those youtubers. Pretty much anything in on the market. Physical attributes, height, gender, But also skills like languages, education and more.

2020-12-15 04:59:52 +0000 UTCIt sounds like something a prank channel would actually do. That's just my opinion. I'm just wondering what all can be traded.
