The next Artist is darkprominence. Drop her a line and see if she'd like help.
I haven't gotten the pages from FK yet. I'll need them by the end of the week or darkprominence will have to start it.

Hmm. That's a bit problematic. Not that I'm all that great at meeting deadlines either  The biggest problem with any delays in comic pages is that it sets everything back. That is, if November's comic is delayed by a week, it might eventually snowball into problems if every month starts late. In order to prevent delays, I think we need to have the team leader send a very clear written synopsis of what happens in their pages. If they can't finish their pages on time, they have to send this synopsis on the day they're supposed to submit their pages (at the very latest). This way, this synopsis can be sent to next month's team, and so that team can start drawing. I don't think it's too much to ask that they send in whatever they're finished with (including finished comic pages and sketches). This gives the next team the best chance of being able to follow up with a coherent storyline. It's not the ideal solution (the ideal solution would be that no one is ever late, but I think that's being a little too optimistic). Life has a funny way of getting in the way of deadlines. It might even be a good idea for people to send in their finished pages as they complete them. I think it's best to update haphazardly throughout the month, instead of just updating with a bunch of pages at the end of the month. This will give the next team some time to think about what they want to do. It would also hopefully garner some more interest/participation as people generate their own ideas of what they'd like to see next month. It'd also encourage people to visit the website on a regular basis to check back for more updates It might not be a bad idea to generate a mailing list for the impromanga ... |

Very well put, bb. These ideas would definitely organize this thing much better and make it more interactive. I keep thinking it's going to work the way MAX does but the big difference there is that people reliably finish every round because the site has been up for so long.
Submitting a synopsis or script wouldn't be a bad idea. I think it would work if they emailed it in/PMed it a few days before the deadline.
I also agree with posting the pages as they are finished. IT would be more exciting and make the waiting period more interesting.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to get them implimented this round. But I think FK knows darkprominence in real life. *shrug* so she's not out of the loop. At least I assume so. And Assuming makes an ass out of me and u. XD

Yes, I do know darkprominence [Ember] in rl. xD We go to the same school. She knows what the last few pages are, and what she needs to do. She's been kinda sick though lately, and she woke up to a rather...horrid surprise this morning. So she may not get very many pages done. Which is fine of course. =p
I'll kinda be helping her out as far as the characters' interactions, but the rest I'll leave up to her. xD I'm finishing up page 6 now, and it's so tempting to do page 7... >.> Cuz I can see it. Anyway, I should have it all posted by tomorrow night.

Thanks for the note FK, could you perhaps email the first three pages so we have something for the website. I hope Ember gets better and I'm glad you're able to help out. It worked out nicely that she came after you and you know her. The rest of us won't be that lucky. (Unless you know, I just book a flight to Malaysia. XD)

Vee...Pages 1-6 are done, everbody! ^^ And emailed to Mod. Should be up soon. I'll get to work on the title page, probably on Monday. And it'll be in full color, so it should be done by Wednesday, at the latest.

I would tell you, but Mod wouldn't like that. xD I'm used to being staff. =p But in the meantime, why don't you go ahead and post in the Welcome board? =) Tell us a little about yourself.

Luckily for you shiro, we just had someone drop out and you can have his/her slot. (I'm not sure of their gender). Post a character and I'll add you to the list! Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the clarification. He dropped out of RRR and he hadn't posted since way back when so I think it's fair to say he's out. Didn't have a character anyway.
