What to write? Check names of forum threads here. There are some good topics that you could write about.

That's a good idea. I'll get straight to work on say...two articles. I think I could do that each month. How long do you want 'em?

We want 'em forever.

Seriously though, as long as they need to be while still be interesting to read. No good putting in a four page monster which puts the editor (ie, me) to sleep half way through, eh?

I see, I thought there was a proper length set. Thanks, now I must write! My fravorite thing to do, even more then drawing

. I'm guessing the next issue is Aug. 1st...?

Yes, the next issue is Aug 1st, but the editors (myself and Dutch) need at least a day or three to edit the articles.

So a few days BEFORE everything's due is pretty much the stopping point, with anything submitted before that time being a very good thing.

I'm interested, and I JUST finished a paper on stereotypes of women in comics... but it's 7 bloody pages, and I wouldn't want to read that much in an online article. What kind of length are you looking for if I were to chop that down to a reasonable size?

I just wrote a messy article detailing what I dislike about people too mired in expanding the medium of webcomics. Do you want it, or are you going for more theme stuff this month?

We'll take it definitly =]

We have a theme, but other articles will fit fine. We might have an icon scheme to let readers know the difference.

Stereotypes of Women in Comics - a condensed essay by Thatguy.

Women are stereotyped in comcs. Get over it.

Something longer than that example would be ideal.

We could also split the article up into multiple issues, keep in mind. Have like Part 1 this month, part 2 next time, etc etc...

All sorts of possibilities.
