Guest Comic Contest: Summer 2002
I will be out of town for several days, starting Thursday, and again for around two weeks starting at the end of July. So I give to you, the readers, the opportunity to have your comics appear on the Scatterplot website to fill in the days that I won't be able to prepare ahead of time.
Here's the deal: You send your comics to DarthParadox@hotmail.com - either a link to a comic on a website, or the image itself. We'll be posting at least a few, perhaps many, in the weeks that I'm gone in August.
Here's the good stuff: Since I've recently started assembling (read: stapling together) the Scatterplot book, I will send a signed (by me and Stefan) copy to anyone whose comic I post on the site as an update. They may not be worth much now, but if this comic makes it big, you'll have a collector's item on your hands. This is a print run of about 35 books, containing all 51 actual Scatterplot strips (no guest art/comics or Intellectual Property) from the beginning through April 26th. (The cover says April 27th - I goofed.)
The comics that I don't post as updates, I'll assemble as a special section in the Fan Art page.
So send your comics in! Include in the e-mail the name or nickname you want attributed to the comic, as well as a website to link to if you want.
We have two deadlines, the first is a bit iffy, given the timing. Since I leave on Wednesday, anyone who sends me a comic in time for me to get it, look at it, approve of it, and upload it will have it up on Friday. In the (somewhat unlikely) case of more than one person sending me one, I'll put as many up as I feel like, basically. I may also hang onto them for posting in August. (I reserve the right to edit the comic if I feel the need, but you of course maintain rights to both the original work and anything I do to it. I think.)

The other deadline, since I also leave Thursday, July 25th, is Tuesday, July 23rd, to make sure we have enough time to pick some comics and upload them on the site so it'll automatically update. Late submissions may or may not be accepted, at our discretion (as in, if we get it and have time to look at it, we'll consider it).
