Since this involves drawing, to believe this goes in the art thread. Correct me if I'm wrong, plz.

Posting this on DA and FA, too.

This is how it works. I'll draw the first page of a comic, and the next person continues the story. There's no set direction, people just get to make it up as they go along. It's an improv! Pretty simple, eh?

All I need right now is for people to sign up, just so there's no confusion of who goes when, or two people don't end up drawing the same page.
You can join any time, you'll just be placed last in the list. Once we get to the last person, it'll circle back to me. Let's see how long we can keep this up before people get bored or we run out of ideas.
If I get enough people(more than two) then I'll start by posting the first comic tonight.

So, sign up! First come, first serve.

Signed up(this is also the order of who's going when)-
Complete list is here. Lemme know if you're not on it!

Umm... sure, what the heck. It'll give me a reason to art again.

Zina

Awesome, I'll start making a list. And checking it twice.

Kenji

Question, though. When it comes our turn, how long of a window do we have to do the pic? Just in case I, or another artist, has a few days of work in a row.

Zina

Whenever it can get done. Just don't make us wait too long. If you feel you wont be able to get it done anytime soon, you can always opt to be skipped, and the person after you will go.

Penny

So there isn't any set format either?  (ie. 4 panels horizontal or 4 panels veritical)

Zina

Nope, whatever you want. It can be anything from ten panels or just one big picture.

All I want is a comic that continues, in some way, from the comic before it, and allows the person after you to continue the comic.
So, no going off and suddenly starting a completely different story and characters, and no blowing up the universe and killing everyone off. Unless you do it in such a way that the person after you can keep it going somehow.

I'm not really looking for masterpieces or anything. Just something that's fun.

Kenji

Alrighty then. Now that those are out of the way, I have but one more question to add to this:

Will the comic have a rating to it, or perhaps if you do multiple comics, each will have a different rating?
I personally shouldn't be going too far into an extreme rating past maybe Rebma or so, but at least in terms of what's cool in dialogue and, if need be, fight scenes.

Zina

I'd say don't go beyond the rating of the forum. I was kind of hoping it'd stay lighthearted and fun, but you want to give it a dramatic twist, it's only fair to give people a bit of a warning before they click on it. Otherwise, if there's a bit of blood or a lot of cursing, just put a little warning up. I'm going to have faith that a lot of people can handle such things.

Penny

... *shyly* I guess I'll try my hand at it then.

nikename2

I'd assume the comics are linked to this thread for the time being as well right? I'm not really much of an artist and got finals coming up next week, but yea I am interested.

Zina

Awesome, I'll add you both.

I went ahead and posted this on FA and DA, just because. After talking about it with a friend, I decided I wanted to get as many people as I can to join. That and it wont be as much work as I initially thought, since I only have to worry about one artist at  a time. :B

Faerie Alex

Sure, why not. Put me on the list, please.
Jeez I need to update this thing.

Yeah, but this'll only work if everyone actually does it or keeps me updated on their progress, instead of the SS, where some people just dissappear on me all together.

Added, lolz.

State on the opener that people have three days to respond, and must have the update in by the end of the week, or they get skipped and it moves to the next person?

Just an idea....
