so... um... where where we on these?

19:26 / 10.01.02

The Buzz.

Sorry about the wait. I am so insanely busy. I promise to give this project more consideration from now on. Another resolution!

OK, I have emailed both the current holders of the magic pen, and they have until Friday afternoon to respond before I pass it on to the next dynamic duo.

I haven't posted the first installment of the project yet because the panels needed tweaking and I just got Photoshop back yesterday, so they should be up shortly.

So, as of this weekend the Barbelith Corpse is go once again!

04:17 / 12.01.02

I have been in contact with the two artists responsible for the last round, and can now safely move on to the next two contenders. I've switched it up a bit so that Biologic K-9 wouldn't have to do both Corpses at the same time. Here is the new order.

Corpse #1 - Biologic K-9, MC Lentil, THX, Flyboy.

Corpse #2 - THX, Biologic K-9, Flyboy, MC Lentil.

Biologic K-9 and THX, you will have the addresses for your Corpses in your inbox by the end of the night. If the email on your profile is incorrect, please let me know. If I don't hear back from you by next Saturday, the 19th, I will pass it on to the next person.

Have fun!

06:37 / 12.01.02

All systems are "Go", Captain.

Yay!

06:18 / 15.01.02

Wow!

If the rest of it is up to the standard of the 'premiere' panels then I've managed to get myself involved in something very fat indeed. Am now very excited about my go, as well as slightly nervous about maitaining quality. Are the first three your work, Moriarty?

07:15 / 15.01.02

I'm making sure you don't have to worry about maintaining quality.

07:15 / 15.01.02

oh, pish

14:24 / 15.01.02

Pish indeed.

It's all just for fun. What's the point of a comic jam if you can't get all fucked up and have a good time with it.

I wish I hadn't gone first. My panels are too rigid. Still, thanks for the kind words, Lentil.

16:41 / 15.01.02

I just saw the first four panels, and I would like to participate. Me! Me! Me! Please add me to whatever list you'd like.

03:33 / 16.01.02

I'd like to participate too, please. I could really use the practice, so bad.

16:17 / 20.01.02

Couple of questions:
1) What resolution should I scan this bastard at? and..
2) file format? BMP,JPG, ?

01:48 / 23.01.02

The next panels are up! Check 'em out.

Quick answers to quick questions.

Todd and Solid. Of course. I'll revise the list accordingly.

THX. JPG if you please, but just about anything will do. I usually jiggle the panels a little bit later (often badly).

Grant. I know we discussed the proposed panel arrangement, but I have forgotten what the verdict, if any, was. I like four panels because it doesn't leave an empty white space every other week, but I could be convinced otherwise. After all, three a week would work just as well, and it would stretch this out a little longer.

Verdict, schmerdict. As a writer, I would have enjoyed more space to shape the story, but as a reader, I get a kick (in the current layout) from the overlapping styles. Although as long as the fours were done after a three (so it starts on the second panel of a line and ends on the first panel of another line), the same effect would hold true.

18:30 / 26.01.02

oh balls. Am I supposed to be doing more than one panel?

07:05 / 28.01.02

so where are we at with this? just want to make sure i'm not holding things up by not being aware of when my go is

15:10 / 29.01.02

BK9 and THX are still on their turns, MCL. You'll receive an email when it's your go.

THX (and anyone who has signed up in the last little while) please refer to the first page of this thread for the Rules. Please. It's all laid out there. And, yes, you have to do three panels, all square.

17:17 / 19.02.02

Just thought I would bring this back up... where we at?

11:18 / 20.02.02

I think THX and Bio K9 must still be doing their bits.

11:56 / 20.02.02

Bio and THX have both been contacted. Hopefully we can get this soul train moving again.

In the meantime, the next installment of the Barbelith Corpse has been posted. Sorry for the wait, but I was trying to stetch it out a bit.

11:30 / 21.02.02

Bio is in, but will need a bit more time to ship his contribution over. THX is out, so I have passed it onto MuChos Lentillos. This is out of order from what I had previously stated, but only because Muchos Lentillos hasn't had a turn yet, and everyone else on the list has.

Starting now, there will be an expected 2 week deadline for all submissions, excluding any delay due to real world shipping. I will give a maximum 3 weeks before passing it on to the next person. This is starting to get ridiculous.

And Lentillos, everyone, don't forget that there is a second page, linked to at the bottom of the first.

Thank you.

hey moriarty, check your hotmail. 3 square slabs of love comin' atcha.

13:58 / 19.03.02

WELL???

02:25 / 20.03.02

Hey guys, sorry about the delay. I'm attendign a class, and my internet time is very limited. I will have Lentil's panels placed on the Corpse site, contact the next person in line, and post the next three panels in the Premiere thread in the next few days.

19:42 / 20.03.02

Hey...
I checked both corpse sites & didn't find anything new?

curious

09:15 / 21.03.02

There's nothing new on the Corpse pages because I've received nothing new to place there. Through no fault of the current artists, I might add.

Lentil, I received your panels via email, and they seemed to clear ok. However, I just went back to post them, and while the email you sent me is still there, the files are all saying "0". Could you please resend, either in the format you sent them in the second time, or as Jpeg. Thanks.

Bio-K9, if you haven't read my private message to you, please do so. Thanks.

Flyboy, I choose you! Once Lentil resends his cursed panels to me, you're up next. Thanks.

And to everyone who is waiting so patiently (and not so patiently). Thanks.

P.S. I went to post four more panels to the Premiere thread, and I realized that we don't actually have four more panels. Should I start showing the second Corpse?

12:11 / 21.03.02

shit, what's going on? I sent them to myself to check they came through ok and everything. Not to worry, third time lucky and all that.

18:29 / 22.03.02

Yeah... I figure we can start the second corpse in a new thred perhaps... to prevent some confusion...

05:03 / 24.03.02

Lentil, everything's good.

Anyone who still has the address for the second Corpse is free to check out the latest addition.

Flyboy, you're up. I'm sending you the address right after I post this.

13:34 / 24.03.02

Lentil! You rule!

Elijah, Freelance Rabbi

14:29 / 24.03.02

I want IN!!!!

*aww, shucks*

22:24 / 25.03.02

Nice touch Lentil!!!

13:45 / 26.03.02

OK, I've privately contacted both the current artist on Corpse 1, and the new artist on Corpse 2. I need confirmation that you both have received my messages, otherwise I will have to pass your turn on to the next contenders.

The whole world's waiting for you, and the wonders you can do.

23:36 / 28.03.02

Very important whip cracking.

Anyone who has not had a turn at Corpse #1 and/or Corpse #2 and would like to, please post here within the next week, even if you've expressed interest before.

It's been about a year since we started this. I have just gone over two different lists. Those people who have joined the group at some point, and those who actually produced results. It's a little sad. I don't blame those who bowed out from the project. Real life takes precedence over comics. However, the wait between contributions is too long. Also, many of my private messages have gone unanswered.

Therefore, I am giving anyone who has not participated ONE WEEK to state that they wish to contribute. Those people, if anyone signs up, will finish off Act I of each Corpse. Then I will post new lists for both Corpses which will contain the names of those people who participated in the first Act. Anyone, including those who failed to contribute in the first Act, may sign up. Anyone who signs up after this week is out will be put on the lists for the second Act, and will not be contributing to the first.

Starting at the end of this week long membership drive, all participants must complete their panels within two weeks, or three weeks if they need to send their submissions by mail. If you need more time, contact me. If you don't, you will forfeit your turn. If the two weeks has passed, I will send one message to the person, which they must answer within 48 hours. I will not be chasing people anymore.

Roll out.

16:30 / 31.03.02

Well, I'm still up for it. Just tell me when to start (and where I can find what's come before). thanks for the heads-up, moriarty.
