Hey folks, I have a script. Any artist out there who wants to take a look and see if the thing is interesting?
The story is called "Planet David" and is a slow-paced, more slice-of-life kind of story.
Nico, Are you there?

I'll have a bash at it if you want. An email is in your hotmail letterbox...

Just wanted to let you guys know I'm still in. I'll probably be doing a simple prose number, a tiny short story that can be accompanied by single panel illustrations. Or not.

I am to draw grant's script. I was thinking of adjusting Jenny, making her look less-childlike, more feminine. Think 50's chinese pinup girl. I'll post a workup I've done but right now I have to go so I'll scan it tomorrow.


Woo hooo!!!

I'm getting really excited and impatient about this now, in the manner of a bored child on a long car journey.

Hey man, don't pressure me, you can't hurry genius you know. it has to be allowed to ferment, like a bowl of rotting fruit and offal under a tea towel.

did you get my email yesterday?

Haven't checked my e-mails at home yet, Lentil. And I do realise that writing it is the easy bit. I'll calm down now.

What would you guys think of a thread dedicated to sneak previews of the ongoing projects? Or would you rather keep it secret till it's finished?
 
 
lentil
13:11 / 28.02.02
I'm quite into keeping it under wraps till it's all done. I'll be keeping Sax updated with stuff regarding the story we're doing, but apart from that, moriarty will be the first to see the woik.

Also, as a reader I think I'll find it more exciting to see everyone else's stuff as a fully formed Shifting mindwarp, rather than in dribs and drabs.

But I appreciate that this approach may lead to frustrating periods of apparent inactivity.

Okay, so I'm pretty much completely new to this. But I just engulfed the entire thread, so I think I'm... as up to date as I can be. And the entire time I spent... engulfing all of this information, I've had a great story sitting in my head. It's the most obvious of all multi-dimension stories, but I can make it fun as hell, I think. And I can make it work whether she has dimension jumping abilities, or merely exists in multiple/all dimensions.

I have a question though, mainly for Moriarty... something you mentioned earlier, about the format/paper size requirements made me wonder, if a piece is eligible for the e-zine, but not the paper one, will it still be included in the e-zine?

And, if there's any artists sitting around, twiddling their thumbs, feel free to let me know. My artistic abilities aren't always in top shape, and a partner/collaborator might come in handy. Plus, my idea kind of works better if there were literally two artists working on the same bit, even within the same panels. But it's still a baby of an idea.

question: would it be ok if I also publish (in the loosest sense of the term) my story for this project in my own comic? which would probably be finished before this project is?

If people aren't ok with that, don't worry about it, I've got other stuff lined up to take it's place.

OK, quick reply. I'll elaborate further later.

Whatever stories you work on are your property. You don't need anyone's permission to print it wherever you like, in any size, at any time. So if some people want to sneak preview, or put their stuff elsewhere, feel free.

Any piece is eligible for the e-zine regardless of format. The only way you couldn't include it in the e-zine is if you promised exclusivity to someone, and that's your business, not mine. I may restrict pieces that are not keeping in the spirit of the project. For example, if someone makes a hastily drawn 200 page comic that has one word per page, just to test my patience. Otherwise, I will accept anything. And if a piece doesn't fit the criteria (highly unlikely) then that person is more than welcome to start there own e-zine or print it anywhere they like. The e-zine and the print zine may be the premier showcases for the work, but they don't necessarily need to be the official ones.

Lastly, you own your story, lock and stock. If you don't want to include it in the various zines, for whatever reason, you have that choice. Permission to print your stories is not a given! I will be asking each of you individually as the pieces are finished.

I know I said this in a recent post...

I'm quite into keeping it under wraps till it's all done. I'll be keeping Sax updated with stuff regarding the story we're doing, but apart from that, moriarty will be the first to see the woik.

... but i don't think this is giving too much away.

Spacesuit Jenny!

Oh bugger. This is the first time I've tried to post a picture and I'm having trouble. is it possible to do it from my hard drive, or do i have to upload it somewhere else first? Maybe it's not meant to be.

Upload it somewhere first.

And. Do. It. Quick.

15:17 / 07.03.02
um, could be a problem. Sorry, I'm a complete novice at this and will probably need some guidance. My girlfriend owns some webspace but there's absolutely nothing there, is it possible to just bung a pic on that? or, failing that, has anybody got space i could stick it on? it would only need to be there for the time it takes to transfer it here, then it could be deleted again.
 
 
Sax
15:57 / 07.03.02
Oh, man, that fucking ROCKS. Thankyouthankyouthankyou for sending me that by e-mail, Lentil. It is superb. Exactly as I envisaged Jenny would look in the alien segment of the story. Fuck me, much better than I expected. Wish I could put this up for others to see, but I've no webspace. Moriarty, you out there?

This is one of the old, old, old thumbnail sketches I did for The Fool, who is drawing the story at this very moment, now how exciting is that mister??

Just a quick sketch, ok? Forget you've seen it.

the interminable forces that guide our lives have transpired to make me adhere to my earlier post in which i supported secrecy until completion, methinks.
btw - i was looking at moriarty's original post on this thread the other day and i noticed he suggested a one page a month deadline. seems reasonable to me - how's everyone getting on, and when did the month begin?

I was supposed to have received Lentil's pic so I could upload it on my server and post it here, but something went wrong with the message Sax sent me, so I asked him to send it to me again, but he didn't.
 
 
Sax
08:24 / 13.03.02
Sorry, Jade - not been on my home e-mail account for a while and not been on barbelith much - wasn't purposefully ignoring you, mate! I don't know what went wrong with the pic I tried to send, other than my total and utter inability to do anything remotely technical.

But it was a very good pic, mind! You'll just have to wait!
