The OFFICIAL AliciaxRufus Fan Book Announcement~

The deadline for entries will be April 1st.
I will post a reminder and preview topic every other Saturday until that time.

Entries can include:
--Comics/Manga (up to 30 pages long)*
--Black and White Fanart/Illustrations (no limit)
--Color Fanart/Illustrations (SOrry, no more spaces available)**
--Fanfiction/Prose (up to three entries of 8000 words)***
--Photos of crafts, cosplay, etc.
--Essay/Personal Experience/etc.****

*If you need more pages, I will give you more, but try to aim for this number.
**All four color spaces have been claimed.
***That's a potential total of three 8000-word fics, meaning you could potentially submit 24,000 words! This should be plenty of room for you to stretch your wings.
****This category is for anything non-fiction that you want to share; such as battle strategy for Rufus and/or Alicia or your funny experience with playing the game; or how you feel about the story, the characters, the fandom, etc. Anything related to the characters Rufus and Alicia. For example, an entry entitled "Why Alicia Get My Vote For Most Bone-able VP Chick!" would be fine here.


Other Content:
I'm going to try and come up with some fun things for us to do as a group, like the LxL book's polls! There will also be a "free talk" section, and other things such as that. If you have any ideas at all, just let me know!

Guidelines
--Entries should follow the limits listed above (but I will not be a stickler about it if you go over by a few words/pages/whatever).
--Art should be submitted at a resolution of 300 dpi.  Please consider this if you use screen tone to avoid moire patterns.  If you have any questions about how to make your art print-ready, please ask me any time.
--Prose should be saved as RTF or DOC files. Please try to edit and spell check before you send it to me, but I will check it again for you. :3 I may change the format of your document to conserve space.
--Mature content is OK, but I reserve the right to deny entries if they are in bad taste. You can contact me to ask before writing/drawing it if you are not sure.

Page measurements:
Trim: 6x9”
Live Area: 5.375x8”
Margins: Top: .375”, Bottom: .625”, Sides: .3125”
Bleed: 6.25x9.25”

How to Contact/Submit
My email is 100series@gmail.com. Please include "Fan Book" somewhere in the title of the emails you send me (so that I can find them easily by key word search). You can send attachments or URLs to places where your submission is already stored.

I'll do an color image for the inside front cover! *Waves hand*

I'll be submitting a comic, of course. =) Is the page size dimensions the same? What would be the safety dimensions?
100_series[info]100_series on January 4th, 2008 11:57 pm (UTC)
Sorry! I forgot to put the dimensions! It's going to be 6x9" and here are the dimensions directly from comixpress:

Trim: 6x9”
Live Area: 5.375x8”
Margins: Top: .375”, Bottom: .625”, Sides: .3125”
Bleed: 6.25x9.25”

"Margins" I'm assuming is for written content?

YAY inside cover~ I've never seen you draw Rufus before, so I'm excited about that. Oh... and Alicia too, I guess. XD
Tracy★Williams: VP-total geek[info]trecomics on January 5th, 2008 04:33 am (UTC)
Thanks! Also, what file type would you prefer?^^;
100_series[info]100_series on January 5th, 2008 04:36 am (UTC)
I'll take whatever is convenient for you, but probably .tif would be the best. ^^
nemi: dolores ear waggle[info]nemissa on January 5th, 2008 03:40 am (UTC)
Um, hello, lurker here :x I'd like to try and submit something though! Ideally color, so the back cover perhaps?
100_series: Ouran Huggle[info]100_series on January 5th, 2008 03:43 am (UTC)
Ee! ^^ I would love to include your art! You can have that spot and I will add your name too. <3
Bruised Around My Thighs[info]lienoym on January 5th, 2008 03:56 am (UTC)
I would like to write some fanfiction for the fanbook, if you would like?

Heh, i'll probably get it done before April 1st :) cause my birthday is April 6th, and I get nervous and do a lot more things around then :D
100_series[info]100_series on January 5th, 2008 04:04 am (UTC)
Okay! I will add you! ^^ Thank youu~
LotornoMiko[info]cleoius on January 5th, 2008 07:39 pm (UTC)
Wheeee! Fanbook time!! Now I just have to think of an idea to write about....0_o
100_series[info]100_series on January 5th, 2008 07:55 pm (UTC)
Yes, I need a fanfiction idea too... an idea... or five? XD
LotornoMiko: Kissing Close[info]cleoius on January 5th, 2008 08:01 pm (UTC)
Heh, we should make a post about how suggest yours idea and maybe a fanfic writer will write it out for the book! ;-p
100_series[info]100_series on January 5th, 2008 08:05 pm (UTC)
That might be fun! :3
LotornoMiko[info]cleoius on January 5th, 2008 08:09 pm (UTC)
*nods* Yeah! I've often thought about doing a similar post on the LezaLenne community when I've been bored and looking for inspiration. ;-p
100_series[info]100_series on January 5th, 2008 08:12 pm (UTC)
All right, then! *goes to post* <3
Rachael[info]little_rachael on January 6th, 2008 02:15 am (UTC)
My name's spelled wrong. It's A-E, not E-A.

The link, it does nothing! :p

I've already spoken to you privately about my submissions. I do think I'll be able to do a series of shorts, though.

Is three works of up to 8,000 words just an example? I mean, could I do four works of 6,000 words, or two works of 12,000? Or is three the limit, with a limit of 8,000 per story? I ask because sometimes I write a lot, and sometimes I write very little per work.
100_series[info]100_series on January 6th, 2008 02:20 am (UTC)
SOrry. XD I could have sworn that was how I wrote your name but oh well, I'll fix it!

Uh... you can really do whatever you want! I'm putting these out as guidelines and not rules. I don't think one fic of 24,000 words would be a good idea since that would be like... half the book! But knock yourself out, I'm not going to cramp your style.
Flamegaruru[info]flamegaruru on January 8th, 2008 02:17 am (UTC)
WoOT!
To use archaic terms: I am stoked.

Not kidding.

I would love to submit something!! ^^ For surely, I will submit "Her Smile" (edited of course) and I am currently banging out some VP art/mini comics! (which you may deny)

Anything else you demand?? XP
100_series[info]100_series on January 8th, 2008 02:22 am (UTC)
Re: WoOT!
Everlasting love <3 j/k but I want your comics for sure! XD Feel free to submit any of thr rxa bits of your fics.

Re: WoOT!
I would like to attempt the final cover spot. >3

It would be in a different type of art, but RuxAli hairstyles for sure.
