GAM Submission Guidelines

So, here they are. Follow them. If

Dammit!!! Once again, I am a year too young to submit anything. I'm so upset. I have like...3 comics that would totally fit the GirlaMatic dynamic. Oh well. Come Aug. 12, 2006, I'm submitting all of them.

Think of the time you have until then as time to practice. I went through huge improvements in the space of one year just by updating regularly. *cough* Uh. *changes the subject from updating regularly*

SO ANYWAY YOU SHOULD GO FOR IT!

Meh. Somehow I don't think Chat will be worthy.

Err, what kind of advantage is there to being a Girlamatic artist? I'm guessing you may get paid. But the call for submissions really doesn't mention anything about the member rules. They lock up your archive, and whatnot?

Girlmatic eh? Sounds girly...not for a manly man like myself.

Yeah, your archive is behind the subscription wall, except for the newest comic and a free sample of some sort. You get paid, but not much unless your comic is very popular. So it goes.

Archives became members onny, you get paid some, I suppose you can say that you get some exposure since GAM is not an unknown site, and in the end you became a member of Modern Tales family. I'm not sure what's the policy concearning WCN and whether new artists will still get free WCN account like the old ones.
I mean, I reccomend it, being a part of Graphic Smash is a very interesting experience, there's a lot of small rewards and after all, it's a step toward being one of the big guys (and I suppose being a part of Girlamatic isn't very different). Of course, besides comic on GS, I do other comics that are availagle free, and I'm not sure whether I would like to have a comic locked behind membership if it was the only comic I was doing.

Girlamatic is teh nice, in a totally not girly kind of way. I'd submit something if I had the time.

Good luck to everyone submitting! I think getting approval remarks from Lea Hernandez is a prize all by itself!

Eh, locking your comic so that only those that subscribe can see? Not very appealing to me.

I would still like to join.. They might do publishing, where I won't have to pay. It'll put me up there as a smallpress creator, which is cool. I'd love that. sigh....but I still have to wait an entire year to submit...darn 18+ rule. I'm mature!!!!

Anyone else notice those submission guidelines don't specify that you have to be a girl to work for GirlAMatic?

-Rain- · Post by **-Rain-** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 7:24 am

Interesting...but I think I'll never put my comic under subscription...first, because I'm very, very slow...second, because I won't be making a living out of it. It's just a hobby.

You mean, publising in paper?

I will try this when the thing is finished. They are printed as they are ordered online, so it is free.

Yeah, I read that before. As long as your work relates to women or appeals to them, or something. I think.

I remember meeting a guy who was a GirlAMatic member. As long as your content isn't the least bit offensive to women, I'm guessing. That already disqualifies all the comics wherein the only female character is flat. On the inside.
