Well, hello.
I bet you're looking at your computer (or phone, I guess) and thinking "Man, where's the comic?" The answer to your question is that it doesn't exist. Not yet.
I'm one of the many artists of this community and I decided I wanted to have a bit of fun. I'm sure there's plenty of fun stories y'all have had on the server. From heart-pounding combat to political intrigue and even some heart-warming slice of life rp. I want to read it all. And draw it.
I am about to be pretty busy, so if a lot of people start giving me stories, I won't be able to do all of them. I'd also like to point out that I'm looking for short stories that I can compile into a zine. An online one that I'll post in this forum when it's done.
If that sounds like fun, then read on!
How to Participate
You can either respond to this post with your story (following the requirements listed) or dm me it on discord. (Imbadatusernames #7443) Try to keep it short, but if it's still too long, then I'll decide which part to cut and keep. I'm aiming for 2-3 pages per story. I'm also not expecting a lot of people to give me their stories, but on the chance that I'm given too many (over 5) to put into the zine--then keep in mind that it's first come first serve. (And none of that "reserving a position" stuff) There's a chance I might take the 'overflow' and do a second zine, but don't hold me to it. I have commitment issues.
If you're an artist and think you might wanna get in on this project (or create a zine of your own), hit me up! (Even if you don't want to work with me 'cause I want to see all of y'all's projects when they're done.)
I know there's concerns of metagaming and what-not. If there's subtle details you don't want to disclose in "public" then go ahead and dm me. However, keep in mind that you're giving me the stories with the idea that I'll be drawing them and posting for the LOTC community to read. So if you're really hung up on someone doing what they shouldn't, then it's probably best you don't give me the story.
On to the Requirements:
What To Expect
It will not be in color. If someone else wants to come along and do the flats, then maybe. But right now it's just me and I don't always have the time that I think I have.
THIS IS NOT A COMMISSION. You will NOT be getting detailed character drawings to use in-game. If you want that, there's a ton of talented artists on this forum who'd love to do it. But this ain't the post for that.
You will be credited for the story and character. If I have questions or want your opinion on something, I'll ask, but do not expect to have a say on every minute detail. Again, this is NOT a commission.
When I post the comic, I'll tag everyone involved. If you also want to be tagged when it's released, lemme know.
Fun. 'Cause that's the whole point of this little project.
Please keep in mind that there is a possibility of bad puns and dad jokes. I try to repress it but sometimes the urge is too strong.
