Well, everyone, this little pet project of mine has a name now: Tales From The Fediverse!
If you want to be a part of this anthology or help out in any way, shape, or form, reply or DM me!
If you don't think you can help, give us a boost!
@AlexAloi I mean, it doesn’t *have* to be comics! What are you thinkin’?
@David_A_Webcomic Prose. A short story, maybe.
@AlexAloi yeah! That’d work!
@David_A_Webcomic Alright. Is the theme from this anthology the fediverse or can I submit something non-fediverse related?
@AlexAloi anything as long as it’s SFW!
@David_A_Webcomic I would like to be a part of this. I am not a super cabable sketcher especially when it comes to characters, but I can write a story (one of my stories has been published in a real book 😊), I draw backgrounds pretty well and can do 3D/2D graphics. And of course, my great passion is photography but this might not be really helpful here.
@qwazix you don’t have to be a great artist! Look at me! I can barely hold a candle to what others post on here, and I still do it because I enjoy it!
@David_A_Webcomic hey, I would love to join! You can see my art here on my page, I mostly do illustration, but comic are good too :3
@ais05 Hey, welcome aboard!
If you could give me an idea of what you want to contribute, that’d be great!
@David_A_Webcomic I would love to take part as a comic artist! A Mastodon anthology is a great idea.
@Styxcolor Great! Just give me an idea of what you’re thinking of, and we’ll go from there!
Thanks for joining in!
@David_A_Webcomic @guephren
Is there going to be a webpage where we can go to check this out?
@Christian @guephren I don’t really have one...
I mean I may be able to make one, but I’m not sure if I can host a domain or not...
I’ll try my best!
@David_A_Webcomic @Christian @guephren
Perhaps @libreture could be of help to put the anthology online?
@yncke @David_A_Webcomic @guephren @libreture
That's a great idea
@Christian @yncke @guephren @libreture Exactly my idea, believe it or not!
@David_A_Webcomic @Christian @yncke @guephren
Happy to help. No problem setting up a page for you.
What do you have so far? And what do you want to achieve - so we can get things set up in the best way?
Also, do you plan on promoting this for Free Comic Book Day in May?
@libreture @Christian @yncke @guephren
All righty, right now I have seven writer/artists (myself included) claiming interest on this project. While I haven’t set a definite release date on this, part of me actually *wants* to release this on FCBD, I’ve been thinking about it for a bit, and this probably gives enough lead time to make what needs to be made and edit it into a coherent structure.
@libreture @Christian @yncke @guephren May 6th is not a hard date *yet*, but being three months out, it seems to be a good estimate.
In the way of content, I have a first issue WIP cover, a logo, and one page of my own contribution (it’s not a lot, but considering I announced this four days ago...)
Mind you, this will be a free comic. My plan is to urge people to either A. Support the writers/artists who took part in the anthology, or B...
@libreture @Christian @yncke @guephren ...a different charity each issue (assuming that we go beyond one issue, which is my personal hope).
@libreture @Christian @yncke @guephren I guess all in all, that’s kind of my end goal.
As a whole, the comic will most likely be a .pdf.
Whatever you can do to help I’ll gladly go with!
@David_A_Webcomic Oh that sounds like fun!
@David_A_Webcomic
This sounds neat. Is there a description post anywhere?
@David_A_Webcomic
What kind of anthology is it? Just comics or what?
