Happy Birthday CanterlotComics.
In one year, the website don't change much.
Here the list from the previous anniversary :
The main problems still the same : time and discouragement.
Time : I spend nearly all of my weekend to add new suggestion, send the requests and finally add the comics. So on the evening in week day, I prefer to change my mind with other activities (video game and watching streams mainly).
Discouragement : with the time flew fast, I can't have a real IRL life aside the work. All free time I have is on CanterlotComics or other home activities.
For the team, the problem is different, I'm not very comfortable with repeatedly "wake up" the people who try to help me, it's my personality, when I do that I think I "harass" them.
I know helping Kimi on CanterlotComics doesn't come with high rewards, but I just search few people (2 or 3 at least) on which I can count on (just do 1 or 2 suggestion and/or 1 or 2 comics per week).
I know it's not a big request, but everybody have another activities and problems.
So for the statistics 1422 comics are published on CanterlotComics, that count on more than 5570 chapters and 58400 pages.
In one year, that mean at least (some comics are de-published on author's request) 380 comics are added on the website for 950 chapters and 10000 pages.
The number of visitor stay the same from 1200 to 1400 per day.
For the the new year, I can't promise anything, but I will try :
In one year, the website don't change much.
Here the list from the previous anniversary :
- Expand the website to other fandoms (Steven Universe, Undertale, ...) : Done, even if I'm not very satisfied with the design (the list is in the index menu).
- Make a little team can help me in the management of the website (update, new comics, ...) : Nearly done, I've got some people to help, but I have some trouble to have a really active team. (more below)
- An user account management to do some other feature : Not done
- An announcement feature to help artists (special announcement, requests, ...) : Not done too
- A comment section for the news : Note done
- A comment section for comics : Not done

- Maybe more, but I don't want to set the objective too high
