   I Use Storyboard That Every Day

   As a former classroom teacher of French and Spanish, English Language Arts, and Social Studies, my business now is creating resources for language teachers to tell stories and teach about culture, geography, history, and other content...in a language that may be quite new to the students. So, with that kind of work, you can bet I am always on the lookout for the best tools to visually scaffold the information so it is easier to understand through pictures, icons, and other design elements. I use Storyboard That almost every single day in my work on these materials. Since the resources are for (mostly) children and teens, I prefer a comic or cartoon-y style. Storyboard That is my go-to "character generator." I use it to make and pose characters into scenes and then I combine these groups of characters with Canva, to create PNGs that I then make into presentations for giving mini-lessons in class, texts for kids to read in class, etc. For me, Canva AND Storyboard That together are the perfect solution, and the price is right, for my purposes, as Pixton (which integrates directly with Canva) charges about $500 a year for the rights to replicate your work using their library for commercial purposes, whereas Storyboard That is only $12 or so a month, which includes that permission level for your original compositions. Pixton without that level of permission is about $40 a month, so you would need to think about what the integration of the two would be worth for you in terms of efficiency or the available images and effects in Pixton. For $144 a year, Storyboard That is an excellent option for me. And for free, you can create three active storyboards at a time, so you could potentially use it and never pay a dime.

   🏁 Competitors: Pixton

   👍 Pros:    Allows commercial use of your designs using their elements|Has a free option that allows you to make three active storyboards|Affordable price|Good range of racially-diverse characters

   👎 Cons:    Interface needs improvement|The dragging and clicking is often cumbersome for me.|No canva integration (pixton integrates with canva directly but costs substantially more)

• I want to learn to letter comics. Where do I start?

  If you're feeling overwhelmed, you can also use free comic book making software like storyboardthat.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Hope you guys are doing well during this blackout

  Visiting Squidgeworld and seeing what they have. Source: 10 months ago

• Update Megathread for Tuesday July 11th

  There's also Squidgeworld, which runs on the same base software that AO3 does (it should look fairly familiar). There's nowhere near the number of fics that other archives have, but that just means your stuff will be more easily seen by whoever stops by to check things out. Source: 10 months ago

• Demands made by Anonymous Sudan

  AO3 is open-source. I know it's down but plenty of people have apparently grabbed the source-code. There is SquidgeWorld which used AO3's source-code so at the very least ao3 users could congregate there if AO3 gets taken down. Source: 10 months ago

• Fanfic website genres

  SquidgeWorld is based on the AO3 codes but a separate site. Source: about 1 year ago

• Best Website To Post Fanfictions on?

  SquidgeWorld is set up like AO3 now, though it doesn't get the traffic it did way back when. Source: about 1 year ago
