"Your entry may be on any subject, provided it does not include... unsuitable Christian material"
lol, sounds like a grammatical hiccup to me.

PostPosted: **Tue Jul 19, 2005 7:12 pm**

So it's a one-page thing?

PostPosted: **Tue Jul 19, 2005 7:44 pm**

No; there are no page requirements

PostPosted: **Tue Jul 19, 2005 9:10 pm**

Ooh, this sounds cool! I may try my hand at it!

PostPosted: **Tue Jul 19, 2005 9:50 pm**

It does sound cool... if I improve drastically over the next few months, I might think about entering

It definitely has my support though!

Edit: hehehe do you like my submission?

It's completely original......

I don't have a scanner at the moment, but I'll think of something.

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 6:05 am**

Well since you have fantastic drawing skills, Shao, it would be a crying shame if you didn't enter because of that. Maybe draw the manga up and then see if a friend or something can let you scan them in.

Very original Talame! (lol) I'm sure you won't have to worry about Mave's lawyers bringing you down or anything like that.

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 8:20 am**

Oh, I forgot to mention that all entries would be invited to be hosted at CM.com, regardless of their status in the actual contest, if the authors so allow.

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 8:47 am**

Yeah. I think someone has a scanner I can barrow.

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 10:17 am**

Must the manga be finished if its part of a series or if it has multiple parts?

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 11:44 am**

Inches..

*argh* *google it*

5 inches = 12.7 centimeters
7,5 inches = 19,05 centimeters

and what does it mean when you say "no larger than 5 inches by 7.5"?
like 5x7,5?

Um...*whistles for Inkhana*

and what does it mean when you say "no larger than 5 inches by 7.5"?

5 by 7.5 is (what I'm told) standard size for manga pages. It just means your entry shouldn't be any larger than this.

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 11:58 am**

but what does it mean - is it 5 height and 7,5 width? - never head the "x by y" thing before...

*feels stupid*

edit: took my time and googled that too

[color=DarkGreen]It can be part of a bigger series if it makes sense all by itself and is self-contained. (like, mini stories or sub stories to a larger plot...Mave's "Home" is a good example) Otherwise it could get really confusing to readers...^^]

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 12:40 pm**

How should it be? One folder, containing subfolders and each subfolder contains chapter?

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 12:46 pm**

Doesn't matter, as long as it makes sense.

I doubt any reorganization will be needed, but if it's necessary, I'll do it on my end.

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 12:49 pm**

Oh, okay. No problem.

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 2:31 pm**

0_0 Lucky Talame, I don't even have enough money to feed myself, much less hire a lawyer.

Interesting, I've never thought of the page size since I've always relied on the size of standard A4 papers for all my manga work. XD

This looks like fun; I'll join in if I find the time. :grin:

PostPosted: **Wed Jul 20, 2005 9:54 pm**

Nah, however you want to do it is fine.It'll be based on more than just technicalities, but storyline and stuff too. ^^

AWESOME!!!!!!!! This is soo exciting! ^^ I have a few questions though....

wow!! umm is there some sort of entry form? or do we just email it to you all?

do we send it through regular mail?

What is Dpi?

PostPosted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 6:32 pm**

Nah, there's no form or anything. Just send it to me and if we need more info, we'll let you know.

do we send it through regular mail?

No need, email works great for this kind of stuff.

What is Dpi?

DPI = dots per inch. When you scan your entry (if applicable) set your scanner options for 300dpi and it should be just fine.

Is DPI also the same as Pixels per inch? and is 300 DPI big?

(I am technologocally challenged... can you tell? )

PostPosted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 9:10 pm**

:lol: It's ok, I remember when I didn't know what it meant either.

That would be basically the same thing. It's pretty good size, but that's all right. ^^ There should be enough room in my inbox to handle it.

Yah I tried it out..it is pretty big...umm... is that a maximum or minimum size?

(my scanner doesn't have the DPI option buy my PIC editing software does have the pixel per inch...

PostPosted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 11:06 pm**

Yes, that's the resolution. It can be smaller if you want it to be, but it should still be 5 x 7.5" in page size. If you save it as a JPG file, it should be just fine sizewise.

ALliright! thank you INKHANA SAN!! I really appreciate your advice ^^

(sorry if my pointless questions bothered you LOL. )

PostPosted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 11:12 pm**

No problem at all! ^^ If you have any more problems, feel free to PM me.

PostPosted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 11:13 pm**

I'm now hopelessly confused. But, that's ok, I don't think I had any good ideas to enter anyway. >.<
