As already outlined in a post on 30 Jan (https://onesixthuals.blogspot.com/2022/01/idea-publishing-my-photo-stories-as.html) , I am preparing a few cartoon stories, with the visuals from these 1/6 dolls. I have already made a few pictures-onl stories, available in my galleries on DeviantArt https://www.deviantart.com/onesixthuals , and in the most recent ones I have added call-outs to create some context.
I find that with callouts it is much easier to follow the story than with text captions for each picture. Those captions feel like captions in a silent movie - need to read them, which distracts from viewing the movie, resp. the pictures.
I found it convenient to use the free PizAp site to add call-outs to my pictures: https://www.pizap.com/app/start
There is a limitation on the image size for the free usage of this app: my pics are usually 1170 x 877 pixels, which may be a bit smallish... But for now and for sharing pictures on DeviantArt, this size is good enough.
For publishing e-books with "advanced mature" materials, there are unfortunately not many options, because many e-publishers limit the kind of content which can be published. For example, Lulu has recently updated their guidelines and policies on "indecent" material. Seems there is no place for adding stories about BDSM and rape...
The publisher "Lots Cave" appears to be one of the few publishers which allows such "advanced" content: https://www.lotscave.com/publish/document-upload-process.php
But first I need to get the tools for creating an ebook.
I found that Google Docs provides the option to export as an e-book. This might be a good way of creating properly formatted ebooks. Images can be directly imported from Google Photos, which is also a benefit.
I created a few story outlines on Google Keep. All these Google apps allow me to work with synced content on my PC and on my phone, which is clearly a big advantage.
I will try and will report on my progress in the future.
