Hey there,
Thank you for the support. I'm really hopeful that it's an idea people will be interested in as it's opportunity for people like myself to explore the world of webcomics, and interact with like minded people.
-Is there any previous examples of this event to better understand it?
There isn't an example of this 'sort' of event I believe, but #ComicTalk is a good example of how you join in:

A guide to that event: http://jamieme.com/comictalk-guide
-How do you pick the webcomics you read?
For the first attempt I just tweeted the #ComicTalk community for volunteers. I'd reach out again in a similar way, and make it so creators could contact me if they were interested. If for some reason this didn't happen one week I'd choose something trending on either Tapastic or Webtoon.
-how long does it usually run?
For just an hour. This Sunday #JamieMeReads will be on for an hour, and then #ComicTalk is after for an hour too. This won't happen again likely as I'm just trying to test the new #JamieMeReads idea.
Apologies for the wall of text, but here is a breakdown of how it will work.
At the start time a tweet will be sent out with a link to the selected webcomic. People will then have 20 minutes to read the webcomic, and tweet'a'long as they do.
20 minutes later another tweet will be sent out with another webcomic, and users will again read and tweet'a'long.
For the last twenty minutes I'm going to ask users to give feedback on the 40 minutes, suggest anything they feel will improve the event and then #ComicTalk will start at the start of the next hour.
Phew, sorry about that. Ha ha, I wanted to get it down in writing as best as possible. If you have any other questions just fire away.
PS: In the future I'm wanting to make it just one webcomic a week so that it's less confusing, but I thought I'd try more than one while in the testing phase.
