FYC Comic Jam Announcement
Niccea on April 24, 2016
I decided that for this year we will try out doing a comic jam for the FYC.
Instead of having a theme for the FYC's they will be following a little more of a plot. The first volunteer is going to be the one to set the stage for this. However, my one stipulation that the main character(s) for this needs to be a new made up character. The characters from your comics can have cameos, but the main characters need to be originals, so that they are easily accessible to anyone.
Genejoke has the following suggestion, but it is really up to you:
I would suggest requiring each page to follow a character or two as they navigate “things” which have the ads for the FYC. it could be beavis and butthead style watching TV or wormholes jumping, or even visiting different movie sets.but A common them needs to run through them.
Rules:
* Keep the comics rated PG
* Let try to stay to one week max to page creation
* Let me know what awards you want your comic considered for, so I can put it in the comments. (The list might not fit into the comic as easy this year)
* Please let me know if you wish to be reached by PQ or email.
So, if you are interested in making an FYC page please let me know. You can comment in the comic, post in the planning thread, or PQ or email me.
I am mostly looking for volunteers for the first and last pages. The first page will set the story for the comic, and we need to get this out as soon as possible since we are trying to do a little bit more for the FYC. The person who volunteers to go last will have July 3rd through 10th to work on their page.
For those pages in between, I'll be keeping a loose list of who is going next. If I get to the end of the list, and there is still time for more pages, I'll make an announcement, and it pages will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.
Sounds easy right? We'll see.

I would be interested in participating in this if there is a slot available.

I think with this, we will officially end out with something near 11 pages. So, I'll also open up for a limited amount of standard FYC pages. Rule, they are to be something like television commercials.

I commented in the thread, I can help in anyway. I don't want to do the first page though D:

I'll do a page. This project sounds like the "exquisite corpse" game that the surrealists used to play in the 1920s.

I'm up for this. I should have time to make a comic now (it's Easter break in a couple of days) and I wouldn't even mind the first slot, as long as I get a bit more help to stay within the trajectories you need. But I'd need to make the comic after Wednesday.

Cool. I'm not really sure how it works either. Should be fun though.
Niccea at 9:06PM, April 24, 2016
I'll put you in the third slot for now. Ok?

I'm game. As long as There's enough deadline wiggle room to draw on my off days (a week would be fine). I don't want to go first though. I'm not really sure how it works so I need to see a couple pages.

Also, just to reiterate. You don't have to participate in the FYCs to be eligible for a nomination later, but it does help put your comic out there.
