SPC Fan-made serial comic

[sans soul]

Nyanki's adding the text to his comic pages, and then we'll have the first 6 ready to go. He'll link me when it's done.

Are we going to have a random drawing for the order of the artists, or have a sign-up list on a first-come first-serve basis? I think the latter might be better, so then everyone knows where they are in line and can request a later date if they know they're going to be busy.

These are so awesome.

Great news

I was using the random selection idea I suggested earlier since nobody appeared to disagree. Being able to postpone 'your' week is a good idea, but it means that for some artists, their place in line is now actually 1 place sooner, so they would only have the illusion to know their place in line. I also suspect pre-registration might lead to people just forgetting they ought to contribute, seeing this could span anything in excess of 2 months. Lastly, having to try your luck again and again pretty much makes sure only people apply who're still interested in the project. In essence the idea is to try your luck and you might win a prize. So it's gambling. So people get addicted ;P
The site will bother people with emails anyway (unless disabled), so some of these reasons might not be that important. A disadvantage is that it might be felt too tedious to have to retry every week and people would just give up after 4 tries no matter what's said about improving chances. Anyway, whatever would be best for the project.

Very nice, I like where this is going very much so. Keep us updated on the site Purr and let us know when we're ready to roll.

So it begins-
A lot of potential here, this could go in many different directions.

Cool! I've added the pages to the site so there's final stuff to see, instead of my test stuff. I noticed a problem with the text though; on page 4, Guide says "Don't worry, Al, we'll all those supermodels are protected." ("make sure" is missing). I've filled out the stuff that would otherwise be automatically filled, like nyanki's name, deviantART avatar and link to it.

I'd be very uncomfortable if the site isn't ready before monday, will update (hopefully soon). Current site isn't final design.

Looks like that text has been fixed since then http://nyanki.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d474zu4

What service I'll update the picture soon.

The site is ready! Well.. No it's not ready. But it's ready enough so that you all are able to apply for next week's page(s). There'll be about 1.5 days to apply so be sure not to miss it! http://impromanga.edoropolis.org/. You can use your EE username and password to login on that site. A bit of information will be imported into your impromanga profile the first time you log on, like your name, your website (if specified in your avatar) and your current avatar image. Most of that info can be edited at any time. It's recommended to leave email notifications on, so you'll get warnings and/or reminders when it's time to apply or this week's page(s), and get notified when the lucky winner is picked.

I've added some explanations in the About page, http://impromanga.edoropolis.org/About, however the About page is really an afterthought and so it's no more than just a collection of things I thought about while writing it. If you find things you don't agree with, or like other stuff better explained, or missing things etc please let me know in this thread or by PM or email or so-- chances are whatever it was, you'll have a clearer idea about it than I just had when rushing to get that page in a sort of "complete" state. A better or clearer explanation than I managed is also valued

And yes I'm aware that the new page design is depressingly gray. It's been rushed to kind-of be ready to at least serve its function. If you've got better art to decorate the site with, I'm all ears. Likewise if the site's acting strange with your browser, or some thing isn't working or it's shouting errors at you.

It works in neither IE nor Firefox. Can somebody tell me what's going on?

[Purrcat]

Can you tell me what isn't working? Getting a blank page? Or just a chaos of what seems like UI images? Or are the problems related to logging in?

[Purrcat]

Found out what it is; I'll fix it now but it might take up to a number of hours for your provider's name server to update its info to the correct stuff

[Someone who does Something]

It works now. Thanks.

Good work on the web page, Purrcat.  Yes, it looks a little plain now, but it is a base to build on.  Just one issue; when I click on the "manga" I get the "SPC impromanga 2011" title, but it took me a moment to figure out how to start reading it, so maybe add a "click here" or something.

Something I noticed...

When I registered my account and ticked the box to register for the current week's drawing, there was no option to save the information. As a test, I left to visit the Links page, then came back to my profile, and the box was once again unchecked. I tried it once more with the same result.

Am I entered in the random drawing, or not? Not sure how that works.

Drat! There goes my plot to guarantee me being the first to get picked

Seriously though, that's a pretty serious error! Look into it asap.

[Purrcat]

Fixed.. Later today I'll notify everyone who logged in on the site. Tnx for noticing that admittedly very minor bug in the registration code

[Blackcat]

I just can't believe the impromanga is back...

[Purrcat]

It has begun. Aster happens to have been picked, from 4 folks who applied. Happy drawing!

[sans soul]

 

Uhh.. okay.. I guess I didn't expect to be picked first. I'll try to make the deadline best I can. Preparing for the hurricane so I'll do my best to come up with something.. maybe drawing by candlelight won't be such a bad way to pass the time confined indoors ^^;

Everything looks nifty so far.
Glad to hear that everyone's having fun. ^_^
