OK, I don't want to log in to personal things like my control panel, e-mail, etcetera from work, so I will try to get online tomorrow, and I will post a screenshot from my control panel. I am sure there is a page that outlines the process of redirecting a domain name to Dreamhost space, and it should have the DNS numbers on it.
Barring any catastrophes, I should be able to have that up by 3:30 p.m. EST tomorrow.
I go on the night shift tomorrow, (FUCKING RIGHT.) so I'll be here (at work.) from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. I should be able to get online again at around 8 a.m. EST and set up an FTP account for the collective.
You can then set up the page and all that. If anyone wants to put their comics on my webspace, I will install SomeryC for everyone when I can. Or you can install your own scripts. Let me know.
As for logos, I have no artistic or graphic design ability whatsoever, so don't expect anything from me. I was thinking of imposing on Henshin yet again and getting to draw some stuff for us. If you guys want to use multiple logos, that's fine with me, but I don't think it's good for promotion purposes. Noone will ever remember us if our logo is always different. It's all about branding, people.
What I mean by a pitch comic, is a comic to introduce the comics of our collective to people. What I was thinking of doing was starting the comic off with a webcomic junkie going nuts for a fix, and he would be thinking about webcomics. (Ours, of course.) These thoughts would then be presented in single panels like so:
Thought Panel 1:
Rose stands naked before Nate, who looks a little uncomfortable.
Caption:
I wonder how the relationship between Rose and Nate will develop.
Rose:
Just have sex with me already, you bastard!
Panel 2:
Steve and Mac are running from someone, we don't see who.
Caption:
And what misadventures Steve and Mac will have next.
Steve:
Who are we running from?
Mac:
The police.
Steve:
Why?! What'd you do now?!
Mac:
I'd focus more on running, and less on talking, if I were you.
Panel 3:
Shishio reigns in hell, and pisses on jesus, who is on the cross and covered in feces.
Caption:
And what obsceneties Shishio will delight us with next.
Etcetera.
Then it ends with a picture of some nurses putting an ethernet cable into a jack on the junkie's wrist, and the last panel can be a logo with a slogan to the effect of "We got your fix."
This is why I need your comics, so I can actually write this without violating your continuity or anything. Or, you can not send them to me, and have them left out.
One-liners: Come for the laughs, stay for the abuse.
