*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)

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…

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?

Posted at 2:08PM, Aug. 30, 2009

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?

Posted at 2:08PM, Aug. 30, 2009

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.

Posted at 2:08PM, Aug. 30, 2009

wicked! when's it due by,teach?

Posted at 2:08PM, Aug. 30, 2009

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

Posted at 3:08PM, Aug. 30, 2009

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!
