*volunteers so far: subcultured, Skullbie, SplicerParade, PIT_FACE, hyena, bitten by monk, kristen gudsnuk, Aurora Borealis

******we can have an alternative lineup, just in case a volunteer is unable to make it and the alternative one can be first in line for the next book.*******

*alternative line up (max 7): ParkerFarker, elektro, Gillespie, herio, Eirikr


goals:
1) 8 volunteers
2) comic is going to be 52 pages long
3) will be in full color, cardstock for the cover. (if you wish to keep yours b/w that's fine)
4) the selling price is going to be $4.99 (each unit costs $4.35 to make) it will be sold through http://www.indyplanet.com



here are the rules so far:
1) it has to be 6 pages
2) download the PSD template file (so everyone's format will match)
and paste your comic into the psd (the author is responsible for this, not me)
http://ka-blam.com/printing/index.php?page=Specs_comics
3) do not send me pages that is not in the kablam format
4) save files as RGB, .TIFF, 300 DPI
5) email it to me at jace29m@gmail.com
6) cant have copyright material in the story, (naruto, mickey mouse, vg characters….etc)
7) text has to be a shareware like “digital strip”
8) general to mature content (no nudity please)

You mean like submit some original short stories or something about the community like renga's TD high?

kinda like the drunk duck anthology book
http://store.platinumstudios.com/Drunk_Duck_Anthology_p/dda001.htm

original short stories to show off your art/storytelling.
5 pages each…maybe

Cool then count me on board, i think we should name it something different though since plat own it…maybe just have a little ‘based upon’ down there

i was thinking like “Subcultured Stories”
not because it's my name, but because the meaning of it…

Someone
Definitions of ‘subculture’
1. A cultural subgroup differentiated by status, ethnic background, residence, religion, or other factors that functionally unify the group and act collectively on each member.

Okay, may I just say that I love this idea. :D Count me on board!

What would be the general rating? I'm assuming adult stories wouldn't fit the bill, right?

mature stories should be fine…no nudity or excessive violence, but we can always change it.

IMO i wish people wouldn't be so fickle with nudity or excessive violence, but it might turn people off from buying the book =P

i'll submit something. how solid of an idea is this?

I think I'd be more willing to collaborate than do one myself- I just don't have a short story in me. Well, I do, but like I insinuated it's adult-oriented. ;) But if anyone's interested I think I can crap out 5 pages of art.

wicked! when's it due by,teach?

Uh, where's the money for this going anyways? Just curious.

if we have 6 people and it goes up to $36 ill split it 6 ways through paypal $6 each

if not then ill see what the profit is in 3 months and ill split that equally.

It was roundabout midnight, and a storm was heaving in the kingdom. All of a sudden,. the doors were thrown open as a bedraggled PIT_FACE rushed in, I told my legions of guards to let her pass and she threw at my feet a link, and a request. “Please take part!” she bequeathed. So yeah, I'll have a shot at this!

(events may not be as stated and may well have occurred over msn)

THAT'S!THAT'S——all true…..:gem:

Oh, please, please, let me!!!!!! I don't have a story just yet, but I could come up with something!!!

Oh Hyena Hell, you have such a way with words! You're the funniest!!

Question, and excuse my ignorance, but, what are vg characters? Sprites?

yea, everything has to be original…not copy pasted.

we need one more volunteer…
i updated the rules and goals

now i've gotta few. what's shareware and when are we supposed to have this in by?

free fonts
http://www.blambot.com/fonts_dialogue.shtml
so we wont get in legal trouble with the font people

as for due date, i haven't decided…but it would be good to have it done as quickly as possible. ill give a week warning if almost everyone has theirs in and we need to compile it.

allright, i gotcha.thought ya ment for a second i couldnt use handwriting.wicked!are all the spots filled up then?

Well, I see 7 names up there so I'm assuming there's still a free slot. If so, I'm in :D

Aww man did I miss that last spot?

hmm… we can have an alternative lineup, just in case someone can't do theirs and you can have first in line for the next book.

Can I also be an alternate?

If there is no objections agains Poser art, sign me in as alternative…

as long as its all made by you (objects, clothes…etc)
