Submission Question

On the Failure Comics Message Board someone asked whether or not there's a "theme" to the FLUKE anthology. I know that some shows, like SPX, have a theme that their book explores each year. I don't think FLUKE's at that point yet, nor do I know if that something we'd even want to do . Anyway...this is the long boring way of saying no. There's notheme at all, just send us something good. By the way, you should all be aware that this year, unlike previous years, we may have to cut some stuff from the book depending on the amount of submissions. Since our quote from the publisher was based on a certain page count, it won't be as easy as it was in the past to just make the book bigger. Not that we want to leave anyone out (except maybe Partick Dean), but we may be faced with that choice. If we are, we're going to give priority to local artists since FLUKE is a "regional" show, I guess. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't send something in if you live out of state or out of country. Please do. There's still, considering that we've received exactly zero submissions as of right now, plenty of room for everyone.

HEY!

Please read what Patrick wrote below about the deadline for submissions. We're totally serious about the deadline this year, people. Since we're not whipping this thing up at the Kinko's, there' very little leeway. We're dealing with Professionals now! that's one step away from actually being professionals ourselves! How exciting!

FLUKE Website - A little more every couple of days...

Over at the Comics Journal Message Board, Jeff Mason said that the sooner we get this stuff up, the better, and I for one could NOT agree more. The website is totaly bare right now, but you can look for more real information, especially information concerning deadlines and format requirements for the anthology book on here VERY VERY SOON. Keep in mind that the deadline is going to be amazingly shorter and more strict that the deadlines of previous years because we're having the book printed this year instead of staying up until like 6 in the morning before FLUKE Saturday making the damned thing.

Patrick Dean and I will be at Anime weekend Atlanta yelling at people and promoting FLUKE this month, so look for us there. We'll be the ones that have very little idea about what anime even is, much less what we're doing at a festival for it. Hey, we're there because we love Dave. Seriously.
