Please reply right away with your planned release schedule,
even if you have no idea what your story is yet. Getting things in order will help us connect our stories.
Please note this is a publication schedule only, ie comics published on the 25th may actually take place on the 31st. The entire crossover party takes place on the 31st Oct 1883, I believe.
If we plan this properly, and we finish our strips ahead of time, and we all stick to our release dates, we can actually build a chain of
"Go here next" messages that will bring all readers to every single comic site. What do you think?
This was the text i originally posted to this post before editing it to make it the official list:
I wrote:My intention is to publish 7 strips, once a day leading up to the 7th on halloween day. A timeline to follow woule be awesome, as we could lead readers from site to site to follow the story.. ie, "The Story Continues Today, at drunkduck.com/The_KAMics" for example. "To Be Continued Tomorrow, on dariansfriends.com" etc.
