hello, once again, i seek all y'alls help!! ๐ฆ kinda long, sorry
On February 4 (next Friday), I wanted to post Chapter 1 to social media--Twitter, Instagram, etc.-- for free, as usual, in addition to pay-what-you-want PDFs on gumroad, like every other big comic I've done.
However, I've never had alternate versions (cis+trans) before, so I'm unsure of the least confusing way to share them on Twitter, since there are so many pages. (Tumblr, Instagram aren't a problem, because NSFW isn't allowed anyway lol)
My big concerns are 1) ease of access and 2) fairness. I could...
๐ ... give each chapter (cis and trans) their own threads (original plan)
This takes up the most Tweets. Both versions of the comic are equally accessible.
However, it could be a little confusing to have the whole chapter up twice, when plot pages are nearly the same image.
๐ ... have both versions uploaded side-by-side, for sex scenes
This takes up fewer tweets and both versions are in one spot.
However, it can disrupt the reading experience to have duplicate pages side-by-side. It could also takes away readers' choice in which version they want to read
This also requires me to choose which version of Zagreus is in the plot pages... ๐ซ
๐... post one version on Twitter; have the other available for free on Gumroad.
This takes up the fewest tweets.
However, this also requires me which to choose one version to put on Twitter, and I would feel like I'm taking sides ๐ซ how am i supposed to choose a favorite child
This also requires more steps for the reader to read the version they want to, if they have to go to Gumroad.

Once again, by typing this out, I think I've convinced myself to go with my gut first option, confusion on Twitter be damned. But still, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, especially since you've navigated Twitter to get here๐
happy slut zag friday lskDFJ ๐๐๐ฆ

OH YEAH duh I have a chapter cover I can put a little marker on. Wow these all sound so obvious ๐ ๐ comic brain
Yeah!! It really wonโt be more workโin fact, trying to keep them separate might take more brainpower in certain ways. Overthinking it is taking a lot of brainpower. So maybe the most straightforward way is best for everyone โบ๏ธ๐ฆ๐ฆ
The first options sounds the most accessible in my opinion; having one of of them on gumroad might give it a little bit less access, as not all people have the reflex to click on links. Having the 2 versions side by side might be very confusing tooโ that's why I believe having 2 clear thread should be best. Okay, this is going to take you forever to upload and post (and Twitter as it is might also lag after a few posts added), but the 2 versions will both have equal visibility! ๐
You could also add some sort of difference in the covers,like maybe a little trans flag on the one?
In my haste I commented on my own post instead of replying lol I FORGOT that was an option!!!! Omg. Iโve had a master thread of comics pinned there for so long because theyโre so hard to find. I was imagining Ease Off buried at the way bottom there. Suddenly with a pinned tweet, it doesnโt seem as convolutedโฆ. ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
If you wanted to pin the first chapter to the top of your profile maybe you could pin a thread which then contains quote retweets of each version? And then you could add to that thread as you go so they're all in one place
