Format change

hey all.

this goes out to anyone who missed the second meeting, or both of them.

we changed the intended format at the last meeting from a monthly (or at least regularly released) smaller format, lower page count comic to a longer, larger anthology. more like a collection of short stories in a graphic novel format. the reasons being that the original idea would look quite cheap and unprofessional (too 'zine-like); the new format makes gives us a little more credibility as well as a more concrete deadline. rather than if you fall behind a bit, putting your story off for another issue, because nothing will get done that way. plus we could actually sell these at cons. if this works out, we'd be aiming to make it a twice a year thing.

for the stories, think of a realistic page count. we want quality and we want to get it done in a timely fashion. a good count would be around 5 pages total. it doesn't have to be a 5 page story, you can have one panel comics, one page comics, whatever. but more important than filling up those 5 pages, is having a quality entry that you can get done on time. so if that's 3 pages or 10, that's fine. ten's probably too much.

we'll be doing this in black and white. until we confirm with the printers, there's a possibility of having a colour cover, as well as gray tones in the interior. we'll be contacting printing companies after the next meeting when we have a better idea of what the total page count will be.

now, for those artists who need writers and the writers who need artists, start contacting eachother.

next meeting will be in january.
