Thread "Making a website, comics needed" in forum "Networking & Community Projects*"

Posted at 11:03AM, Mar. 22, 2009

So I'm going to make a comic website and I wanted to know if anybody was interested in becoming a feature, this will be like the comic website snafu-comics.com where we will update the website with 1 comic a day (so if we get 7 comics, that's 1 comic a day)

requirements:
-Commitment to updating (since you'll have to update at least once a week and I don't want anybody to join up and only update once a month)

-Effort (I want to see sweat and tears out of every page you draw)

and Finally

-Comic (yes…you would need a comic for this, doesn't matter what genre of comic, as long as it's good, you put alot of effort into it, and you can commit to it

Now, I would like to have 7 comics for this website so we can update once a day, but I can work with having more than that

and the website shall be called "Maple Syrup Comics" since I'm Canadian

if you have anymore questions just contact me or reply here

Well, you know I'm in with Semi-Fatal, which you write.

I'm a bit interested.
Pancakes is my main comic, so I would contribute that. I would make more of an effort to put my comics out weekly, which I basically already do. So, if you want me, that could work.
Do you have a url booked, or anything done?

Posted at 3:03PM, Mar. 22, 2009

URL booked, building HTML is my job, so we need an idea of what we want it to look like. flip won't tell me the url though. it'll take about a month before we can actually use it.

I would be interested in putting BffSatan there, or updating Busalonium more often.

Posted at 4:03PM, Mar. 23, 2009

I may be interested. I already work on a comic, but I haven't created stable characters (I don't have characters who make frequent appearances, just random ones) if that makes a difference to you. I update daily, and try to.

Posted at 7:03PM, Mar. 23, 2009

Well, that's okay, we only need one a week, But if you want t update daily you can.

And your comic doesn't need a set list of characters, we're not saying "no" to anything.

I think I'll go with Busalonium, for a whole load of reasons it makes sense. If you think otherwise then I can work with that.

Also I love the site name, not because I'm Canadian, but I love maple syrup.

Posted at 10:03AM, Mar. 25, 2009

Well, who doesn't love Maple Syrup?

We only have 3. We need at least 4 more! Of course once we reach 7 we can always have more people contributing.

Posted at 2:03PM, Mar. 25, 2009

The idea behind this website is fantastic, I just don't know if you would want my old Paint Heroes pages though;(and besides I've already started working on uploading them on other comic-sites such as Comic Fury & Smack Jeeves).

If needed, I'd be willing to create some new material which would easily fit in my "Jules Comics Promo Comic" project.

just putting myself out here

Posted at 4:03PM, Mar. 25, 2009

Anything you want, it's up to you.

Posted at 1:03AM, Mar. 26, 2009

does it require alot of effort outside the comic on my part? like coding and or my own website or updating it through coding?

Cause I'm willing to lend my comic but I'm really not willing to go through any of that hassle. I could design it but I wouldnt be able to acctually create it, I have before but I'm really bad at it. So yeah my comic I can throw into the ring my services otherwise are rather bleak.

Posted at 6:03AM, Mar. 26, 2009

That's fin, there will be a couple people able to do that for you, me being one of them. just give me want you want it to look like and I'll see what i can do.

Posted at 7:03AM, Mar. 26, 2009

hows the updating done then? would I have to throw them up with code or would I email them or would there be some sort of System, also if I'm in I'd like to get thursdays to be consistant with the drunkduck updates and various other mirrors

Posted at 11:03AM, Mar. 26, 2009

Hey, sounds like a raring idea. Despite how I don't think I could contribute (with a NSFW comic in the rough) I'd still love to see you guys make this thing work.

You never know, though, one day I'll have a few comics that are Safe for work. In the meantime, I'll see if I can spread the word of this around. Best wishes and good luck.

Posted at 2:03PM, Mar. 26, 2009

who said anything about safe for work?

(looks at your comic) oh… yeah, i guess not.

but who knows? maybe you will do something less adult. thanks for the support either way.

if you do want to, we take M comics. just not A.

Posted at 10:03PM, Mar. 27, 2009

Well, I've decided to remake my comic so it's "M" rated now. Don't worry, this choice wasn't something brought on by you Flapjack1995, it's something I've been thinking about for a long while now.

I'm not posting here again because I wish to beg for a space on your site, no no. I'll work on my new comic, and when it's up, you might accidentally stumble upon it, and maybe you'll like it, and maybe you might want it on your site. If not, no loss to us at all. :D

Comics continuum, you guys!

Posted at 12:03PM, Mar. 28, 2009

Well everything is going smoothly so far, got the url and site registered…now we just have to make it…*coughs at Flapjack* I've decided on a few comics already and will announce them when the site is almost done, but I'm still looking for more comics *pokes Derkomai*

Posted at 1:03PM, Mar. 28, 2009

Hey, you haven't even drawn a site design yet. I'm not creative, i just have the techniques!

Posted at 3:03PM, Mar. 28, 2009

Just gimme the page and the blog entry or whatever, along with a date. i'd have it up in five-ten minutes.

If flip_side is unable to make a design then I'll be happy to offer my services on that, one of my year 11/12 elective subjects at school is web design and last year I got an A in it. Otherwise if Flip_side is able to make a design then just ignore my post.

Posted at 4:03AM, Mar. 29, 2009

sounds good just tell me when you need my photoshop rendering of what I want my design to look like and I'll have it sent and such.

Posted at 8:03AM, Mar. 29, 2009

I wouldn't mind contributing, if you're still looking for people. Let me know!

Thanks for the offer, but Flip isn't taking any part in desging, that's all me. But I'd love your help! There's sure to be tons you know that I don't about HTML.

Do it now, or later. Whenever you want.

I'll point Flip in your direction. He decides who's in, so…

Posted at 3:03PM, Mar. 29, 2009

Oh, and here's what it looks like so far. But by the time you read this, it'll be a lot different, with more stuff, so yeah.

EDIT: Now it looks like this and this.
