To make things interesting, let's put 'side A' with one cover that is read forwards, and 'side B' that reads forward, with the final two pages a two-page spread. This gives the option of giving each artist a scenario like this:
"character A has to accomplish this, this and this, and your part ends with this action" "Character B will accompish this and this, and will end with this action"
No. That's an awful idea. No 'one master story'. People write their own material, or it's just illustrating someone else's work.
Everyone else has agreed with going by a theme, so that's pretty much been decided.
And obviously nobody actually read my post in it's entirety. I made a suggestion, not an order. I recommended people, not gave them roles, but seriously, if we can not come to grips with what we want in the FCBD, I will take on the role of the elementary school teacher and assign roles, wether people want them or not. If you recall how teachers assign roles in projects, they always pick their best students first, and assign stuff that couldnt possibly be screwed up to the slow kids, and omit their stuff because they never complete it.
Seriously If we aren't drawing by the end of October, I may as well assign roles. This is how projects work, the people most interested in it, get in.
I recommended rkolter for fundraising because he's done the fundraising bit several times for CG related things and hasn't run off with the money once.
Robin has leadership qualities, but I don't want to see her get burned out over this, the_neko is an honest critic, but anyone we pick for judging has to put their bias aside. If we want to use a group of judges, we could use a voting mechanism that only let's each user cast 5 votes, and only lets each submission receive 5 votes, therefor people save their votes to either vote up the ones they like or vote down the ones they hate, the problem is this again runs into the 'well too many crap comics will just vote each other up'
And yes I'm full of good ideas and bad ideas, just because I suggest it, does not mean it's now written in stone and everyone is going to follow it.
Unless someone else has project leadership experience and really feels they should be running the show here, speak up. If Robin doesn't want such a project, speak up.
End of the month, there better be drawings going on.
Also:
As it stands, the Comic Genesis sampler was a very poor package, from its amateur content to its shameless solicitation for more.
If this is the kind of review we get, I doubt stores will continue to carry the CG FCBD. As it is, I've never seen the CG FCBD in a store, ever.
