Last week, a second-creative novelist authorしじまうるめOn Twitter Complaining, such a tweet with pictures like “someone does an anecdote story”, has been publicized by commercial comics, and it is the point of seeing black
しじまhas caused a lot of controversy. He added that he is not opposed to commercial advertising itself, but rather to “pretending not to advertise, deceiving readers”, just like the advertisement for health care products disguised as documentary on fiber-optic television

しじまalthough these words have received the support of many netizens, many writers have publicly expressed their opposition
The cartoonist Dasuke said that she is just the opposite of this public. I can’t fully understand why these people think that “I thought it was a comic book drawn by an amateur, and the result was a commercial comic, I was very angry”. People kindly send a whole set of comics to Twitter, save you the time to click on the link, and give it to you for free; the work is wonderful and the practice is worthy of thanks, is it not related to whether the author is amateur or professional?
Although Dasuke can understandしじまI want to express his “propaganda means for people to mistake commercial works for amateur works” Feeling unhappy and disgusted.” So, in the final analysis, why do you feel disgusted when you mistake commercial works for amateur works?
Daisuke believes that this is because of the two “faiths” that spread in Japan today:
“Free Belief”: “Ha? It is not possible to read the full comics for free!”
“The mystery of the professional writers of the mystery”: “Professional writers must have the pride of professional writers, can not advertise on the Twitter on the smashing of the oil head, can only rely on the work itself to decide the outcome!”
In turn, there will be people who actively treat this misunderstanding. I think “I thought it was an amateur work. I didn’t expect it to be a commercial work. That is to say, I don’t have to wait for the next update of the writer. As long as I save money, I can immediately Read the follow-up!” And the target audience of commercial works, of course, should be the latter kind of very active and willing to pay
Dasuke believes that this debate may be a good opportunity for writers and editors to clearly distinguish and see who is their target audience and who is not

CartoonistきづきあきらI think that a work that has to be seen by those who feel that the propaganda is “annoying” can be regarded as a successful promotion. If only the people who want the work know it, then the promotion is not enough

Cartoonist YanoトシノリAlso said that if he is not arguing and annoying, if his work cannot be known and seen, then he will not go as a cartoonist. The starting point. As long as he can do something, he does everything
(https://twitter.com/hosimaki/status/1094826513701064705).
Yano is not just talking about it. His cartoon “Women with a defensive power of 0” was uploaded to YouTube without authorization. In order to eliminate piracy, he also registered a YouTube channel and uploaded a comic video in person. The result was reported by pirates and blocked by YouTube
Propaganda can determine the life and death of a work, a writer, this is really not an exaggeration
Cartoonist HuacunヤソAnimated Man Cartoons “アニメタ! “I once decided to be shackled. At that time, she cried and wrote in her work: “No matter how wonderful the planning and script, there is no match for popularity. Although sad, this is reality.”
Fortunately, just after that, she “snapped” the current events and uploaded a few pages of comics on Twitter to explain the importance of “animation” in animation production, but not As everyone knows, income is also very low
The tweet received nearly 30,000 reposts, the electronic version of the comics soared, the physical book was reprinted, and the serials miraculously returned to life. This gave Huacun a deep feeling of how important it is to let others know how their work is

While telling the importance of propaganda, there are also many cartoonists who have noticedしじまAnother keyword in the tweet – why many comics on Twitter are used The title of “someone does an anecdote”?
(Although I think the title of “someone doesn’t do anecdotes” seems to be more likely to be popular).
Network comicsベニガシラpointed out that the reason for starting such a title may be that the content on Twitter is very fast, so the works published on Twitter should be as attractive as possible. The “hooks” of the eyeballs, find ways to make others want to see
Just like “Dorothy 1st words”, “The comics of the flesh is the first words” is more likely to attract readers’ interest on Twitter
This long title plays the role of the slogan on the waist of the book

The cartoonist Yamamoto is quoting a sentence from the late film critic Yodogawa, who is able to explain the content in a sentence. For example, the “Poseidon Distress” can be summed up as “the story of the big ship turned over.”

The cartoonist Imai Tetsu also said that it is very interesting to think about how to use the phrase “someone to do anecdotes” to introduce his work. It is a part of training ability and analyzing his own works
(https://twitter.com/imaitetsuya/status/1094793640327540736).
Such a routine title is really useful? Internet cartoonistタカノンノDo it yourself, did an experiment: he changed the comics he published on Twitter two years ago and re-uploaded it: Glasses women first challenged contact lenses but saw the comics of hell.”
As a result, just four hours after re-uploading, the comics’ praises exceeded the accumulation of the same comic in the past two years. This madeタカノンノhave to serve
The original tweet before the name change

The cartoonist Tian Naiqi saw this scene and remembered that he had seen tweets complaining that the title was very handsome. The online novel was changed to a long and cliché title when commercial publishing. He thought that the author’s real thought might be “If you can sell a title and you can sell it better, then change it. Anyway, the content is the same.”
(https://twitter.com/amanosakuya/status/1094941234546634752).
In the early years, I published a number of beautifully-titled works. However, in recent years, the title of a book is more than a vulgar novelist, Morita, who believes that there is such a side behind the popularity of the long title: because in this In the era, readers will not remember the author’s name. Therefore, the writer can only give the work a title with a special title regardless of length
If the basic channel for a writer to publish a work is to publish a short or a middle article in a magazine, then perhaps more people will use the title of “Dream” or “Love”, which is not easy to search for. Time is probably still to be changed to a more distinctive name)
(https://twitter.com/moritakisetsu/status/1094580331674427392).
Even the famous cartoonists such as Water Wuzhi also rushed to change their past works, and re-posted the name of “someone does anecdote” to Twitter. It seems to be a certain trend at one time
But people’s sorrows and joys are not the same. The cartoonist smashed his mouth and defended his propaganda. Those who didn’t want to see the propaganda only felt that they were noisy. In the eyes ofしじまand many other netizens, the propaganda techniques of the cartoonists are no longer effective and can not bring them legitimacy. They accuse the writers of imposing the seller’s doctrine on the buyer, which is the logic of the fraudster
