people seem to just pick one at random depending on the trope, it seems that the works page is on the web original index and not the webcomic one, so should we mv the examples to web original when we find them?

Once we decide, we can probably standardise it a bit more by namespace-ing it.

If it helps, the MS Paint Adventures page describes Homestuck and all the others as webcomics in the openning line.

I can see why this would arise, but I'm gonna say webcomic. Strictly speaking, it's a multimedia work which incorporates prose, animation and interactive elements, but at its heart, it's a webcomic. The author, Andrew Hussie, describes it as such; images are described as "panels" (even the Flash animated ones), sound effects are written in the form of words like "BUNP", and its fans generally describe it as a comic, in my experience. The earlier MS Paint Adventures are more traditional, and pretty unambiguously webcomics.

Informal is cool. We can do informal. Some of us, like me, can even do informal from an iPhone.

It's not that I can't do it, it's just an extra step. I am very lazy. I will be sure to use proper grammar here in the future.

[up] Please do. People tend to take you a lot more seriously when your posts look semi-professional.

On topic, someone must think it belongs in Web Original or it wouldn't be in that index. The fact that the author considers it a Webcomic means I personally lean in that direction.

Well, strictly speaking, all webcomics are Web Original. Given that it incorporates elements of web animation and Flash game as well, why can't it stay in both indices, for ease of reference?

Then we should add it in to the Webcomics index too? I don't recall seeing that they had to be mutually exclusive, so that would work. Any objections?

Ok, I guess that's resolved then. Can normal users lock threads or is there another way to mark this as resolved?
