Hey folks! In about a month and a half (roughly) we'll be finishing up our current storyline over at Mysteries of the Arcana. After that we'll be taking a two week break to prepare for the next storyline. During that time period I'd like to promote other webcomics by posting one page comic summaries of them. So, if you're interested, draw up a one page summary at 600x971 dpi in size. It should be like a "movie in a minute" type summary you see on YouTube, showing off highlights of your comic or giving a funny synopsis. Give 'em to me and I'll post them along with a link.

This sounds like a sweet opportunity! Though I'm not sure I know how to draw a summary. It'd be nice to see some sort of example...
If anyone else does this, would you mind sharing your page summary? I know the setup can vary, but still, it would be helpful.

Yikes, my comic's only in it's second chapter, so I don't know how well I could fill out a synopsis... Well, I've got a month, I'm sure I'll cook something up! Thanks for this opportunity.

Intriguing . . . I may attempt this if I have any free time.
This might be a good way to promote comics at conventions, too. Have a one-page flyer that explains your comic . . . Hmm . . . I'm liking this idea . . .

It doesn't even have to be a "this is what's happened so far". It could be a "this is what the comic is about" or "this is the main character".

 Here's the basic sketchup of my idea. Needs lots of rearranging and rewriting but it gets the basic idea across. Of course, you don't need to have a character narrating it. You can actually go over the plot of your comic, or make a mockup of a character's diary entry or something. Think of it as a one page flier with a pitch and get creative! |

The example you gave was real good. It just seems like three more panels would've been a better choice than two paragraphs of text at the bottom. I was pulled in by the comic and genuinely intrigued, and then felt a little betrayed when it became a pamphlet.

Betrayed? Or did it leave you wanting more? Hmm?  |

Definitely going to see if I can get my artist to whip up one of these; thanks for the opportunity. ^^
When's the drop-dead date to have it?

I'll say by March 19th. But trying to have it earlier is a very good idea. I'm not totally sold on my ending yet, so the exact number of pages left isn't set in stone.

Is there a limit to the number of entries you can accept? If so, are the chosen by a first come first serve basis, or somthing else?

Fourteen. That's the number of days we'll be on break between storylines. And its pretty much first come, first serve.
