Webcomic Beacon #57: The Fanservice Aftershow

Ok, not really a show as usual… but after Episode 55 (Vote Incentives and Fanservice), everyone continued to talk for another 50 minutes. So, since The Webcomic Beacon took a break during the holiday weekend… you get this. Again, this is Tanya and Fes joined by Eric (of Exiern) and Stef (of Sarah Zero). The discussion starts off with talking about fetishes, and then goes into delegating work and working with others in webcomics.
