Re: Telephone Comics Round 4: Open Enrollment! Free Freedom! Less Filling!
« on: October 20, 2010, 10:13:53 pm »
Here's the idea:
I send you a comic strip. There is no text. You write the text, including the sound effects and the absolute minimum of stage direction, and send that text, by itself, to the next participant.
Then, They draw art that fits your text.

For instance, let's say Alice gives this comic image to Bob:


Bob sends this text to Charles:
Panel 1:
Character 1: (stands to the left, says) Do you need help up there?
Character 2: Naw, I'm just hanging around.

So Charles draws, for instance, a bat on the left ceiling, and character two leaning on a lamppost in the lower right corner. And sends that picture to Derick.

Who's in on this? Let me be clear here, we are using very liberal definitions of "Art" and "Writing"

At each stage, participants will e-mail or PM their work directly to the next participant, as well as sending a copy to me (make sure that's PTTG?? with TWO question marks. It's a long story.) so that I may, when the project is complete, post all the iterations for our edification, elucidation, and visitation.

Sure. If you want to swap places with someone, just ask.

You should probably move this to Forum Games, as that seems to describe it pretty aptly.

This sounds incredibly similar to (but still quite different from) the EPYC games that we had about a year ago, which were also in Forum Games.

Well, I intended it as a creative project. Nobody's actually going to "win". Do you want in?

Nobody "won" the EPYC games either. ;)

You'll probably get more participants if this was in Forum Games though.

And I'll decline this.

Moving it may indeed be in your best interest.

I wouldn't need to switch with anyone, but is there any way I could also have a turn later on doing text? That way I can try both?

If not I'll stick with my art slot

I have moved it. Let it not be said that I'm not a reasonable man.
Well, I'm not Reasonableman, but I am a reasonable man.

Let me know next time and I'll make sure you get text, Argembarger.

I'm in, for wherever. Because it sounds like EPYC but with comics and EPYC and comics are fun.

Would you say EPYC comics are epic?
