I had Beholder bookmarked SOMEwhere, but it's good to see a link now. I'm terribly behind on the site still. sorry...

I was hoping for more comics, rather than written stories last time, and I still am. Written stories would just eat up too much of the book, as the cost per page would not change for a comic book. So it's not practical. No offense to the writers.

I am still interested in this idea, and would like to keep things as shorts, still. Like 4-8 page short comic stories.

Tweeted it. Added it to my "I gotta update this on the new site" folder

Thanks! They said I should only be in line with other webcomics, so I'll be keeping an eye on it!

Scroll down to the post section. look to the right, it says "from the network" and the images under it.

I believe that content is controllable to a certain extent, and I also believe size (or number of images) is, as well.

I'll ask for more information on it all when I get back to the recruiter.

EDIT: I do know that they are looking for more comics to add to their listings.

I know there is/was a standing policy on advertising services with being hosted on Xepher, though Project Wonderful Ads had long since been allowed.

I have been approached by the traffic exchange group Scribol. I know another webcomic that has used this service and they seem legit, by their testimony, of traffic increases via similar sites.

It appears to strictly be a traffic exchange system, and not an ad system (no money exchanged, as far as I can tell.).

I figured I would clarify with Xepher, to see if this program would be acceptable for use on Xepher-Hosted Content.

I just moved the NEW Shifter Archive (Jenny Everywhere) to the OLD URL. I am now in the process of fixing up images that broke because of the transfer.

Everything EXCEPT the Art section should be online. Everything, that is, that was on the OLD site since I had neglected to update it for over 2 years. Why the long time of not updating? Because I was constantly meaning to update the site to a WordPress because it would be easier than continuing to update entirely in HTML.

I have, however, been keeping track of Jenny Everywhere since, and I have a HUUUUUUGE folder of new updates.

Once I go over the current content, fixing broken images, links, and verifying formats, I will go over the 70+ images of art from the old site and update it to the new site.

After that, I will begin updating the archive will all the things I had missed over the past 2 years.

Gonna see if you are actually still around. I am presently updating the NEW site. Got to you comics. The plan is to link to your blog posts... however, if you would be interested, could I post the "Legend" series on the Archive? My argument is that it would be MUCH easier to read for people. However, that is up to you. No hard feelings if not.

July 11, 2006 marks the day that I applied for space here at Xepher.net, and now 5 years later, I am 500 comics deep in my archive. There have been hiatuses. There have been redesigns and rewrites. And there had been much breaking of the 4th wall.

.... depending on how things work.

Thanks!

Deadline is... a week at most, as we're already writing.

Hmmm, deadline for submitting my be three weeks (max) from now, because in about a month, we should be starting the arc.

OH! I should also say for the "extended" speed dating thing, where people other than the Ardra comic, could have have less rules and stipulations (depending on the other creators' desires).

[Have your charcter apply to be in the Speed Dating storyline!]

http://www.ardracomic.com/comic/speed-dating-application

Have your charcter apply to be in the Speed Dating storyline!

After The Road Trip remake is complete, we'll be moving back to the "present" in the Ardraverse. The first storyline we'll be doing, is a speed dating arc. We would like to invite fellow webcomic creators to submit "applications" to be in this speed dating event. Because of how complex this can get, and with a limited time frame for the storyline itself, we cannot guarantee all applicants to be used as (a) an application reference, (b) a simple cameo, (c) an interacting cameo, or (d) an actual role/joke/date.

This is why we want the applications to be sent as though your character is actually applying for the speed dating event. From there, we can see if we have something we can use as a cameo (in the forefront or background), a single panel interaction/throw-away joke, or a couple panels or more of an actual sequence. You may submit your own ideas in addition to the application, but I do want to stress that everyone may not work out and/or we may not have the time to handle every idea. Depending on the number of applicant, we'll try to get as many simple/background cameos as possible.

Because everything must take place in Ardra canon, there are a few rules:

1. Applicants must be human. (Sorry, there are no anthropomorphic beings in this world.)
2. We can accept male and female applicants, but we're mainly looking for males. (Ardra is Hetero.)
3. Ardra is moreso based in "real life" Earth, with a few exceptions. Extremes like Magic, Super-Tech-Science, Mythicals, Aliens may work in an ambiguous, trimmed, or carefully designed situation. (not saying "no", just that it should be considered.)
4. Ardra is rated PG. Keep that in mind.
5. This story is Ardra canon, and does not constitute an actual crossover where Ardra's world be canon to another webcomic or vice versa. Though not entirely ruled out (depending on a variety of things), but for the sale or preserving the Ardraverse, we'd be considering other characters as "alternate versions". Unless your comic has dimensional travel or are aliens... MAYBE.
6. Email applications to ArdraComic@gmail.com.

Additonally, the applications:

1. Should be in the perspective of the character.
2. Need high-res "headshots" at least. (could also be crops from comics).
3. Gives us permission to use your character in the webcomic and form when we print it, for at least as simple cameos for this story. (Anything more involved than that, we'll talk with you.)

Extended Crossover Idea:

We are entertaining the idea of making this a Crossover Event. No no, hear me out!

Because we are wanting to keep the Ardra storyline as self-contained as possible, that doesn't mean that other people, with their webcomics, can't get in on this speed dating idea! I proposed that, for those interested, applicants could be open to crossover jokes (or even small storylines) with other applicants! Speed Dating basically has multiple tables set up. Ardra will be focusing on the tables that only Ardra is at. HOWEVER, what if other webcomics focused on tables that THEIR applicant is at? Multi-site, non-direct crossovers! No one has to directly wait on anyone else, and it doesn't ALL need to be canon. It can just be a fun, cross-promotional event! We'll all link to each other speed dating comics! I expect that this can start happening in about a month and a half.

Applicants that are interested in working with others on this, just say so in your "application". Even if you may not want to participate yourself, but to let other people know that you would let their applicant cameo in other comics. I will try and help coordinate people by directing them to our forum. Hopefully we can make some connections. Of course, anyone in on this should still coordinate with characters' owners for various jokes and interactions, to make sure characters are used properly and remain in-character.

This is something totally in addition to the Ardra storyline. It's not necessarily canon to anyone, but could be a fun cross-promotional event!
