Maybe this isn't the right place since I want to publish my idea as a serialized webcomic/animation rather than a novel, but I'm working on this science fiction setting and just wanted to know if you guys know any resources specific to episodic fiction, which board would be better for me to post about my idea and bounce ideas off of anons would be, and just what you guys think.

Setting/Lore:
>Mid 22nd century
>Limited space colonization using O'Neil cylinders at Lagrange points, main industries are asteroid mining and the construction/maintenance of solar power satellites, which provide most of the Earth's electricity
>CLIF (Space IRA) has been engaging in acts of terrorism for the past 15-20ish years
>The League of Nations, the UN's successor has created the Vector Police (basically space FBI) to counter them and any other terrorist/security threats in the new frontier
>The 21st century was semi-apocalyptic, with massive technological and societal upheavals, ultimately culminated in a series of wars and disasters which kill off most of humanity
>Society and most technology has stagnated/regressed a la medieval China, but for the most part, things have never been better so very few people are interested in "advancing" either of them
>Aesthetics have also regressed accordingly
>Welcome to the space 80s
>Despite the setting feeling more "normal" than 2022, the philosophical and political underpinnings of society are completely different - with reactionary luddism forming the ideological core of 22nd century humanity
>HFCS, the internet, anti-depressants are viewed in the future as we view thalidomide and leaded gasoline
>Spacenoids and various malcontent/anti-LoN countries/groups on Earth have a shaky alliance

Plotlines and characters:
>An idealistic Earther former soldier and a bitter Spacenoid ex-cop as a buddy cop duo working for Vectorpol
>Their boss coming to terms with his life choices as he has never started a family, instead being consumed in his work, eventually coming to respect the terrorists he fights against more than the government he is accountable to
>MC's boss' old nemesis and his "elite" cell (who stole a small nuclear weapon 15 years before the events of this series which still hasn't been found haha) reactivating after
>The reason said nemesis "retired" in the first place was to raise his niece and nephew after his brother was killed, now 19 and 17 respectively at the start of the story
>Said niece's character arcs revolve around how completely out of place she is in this story (at least at the start of the story, she's a genuinely sweet girl who belongs in a slice of life anime), eventually turning into something of a coming of age story, from girl to woman under the unusual circumstances she finds herself in
