Call for Submissions

2006-05-19T15:12:40Z

(Thanks again to the Mods for letting me post this!)

I'm trying to put together a Fullmetal Alchemist zine (they seem to be called 'fanbooks' around here) and am looking for submissions.

What I'm looking for:
Stories and/or art in the FMA fandom. Gen or slash (shounen-ai/yaoi) is preferred, but I can include het and/or femlash (shoujo-ai/yuri). Rarer pairings are love, but more common ones are good, too.

Length:
Stories can be any length from drabble (exactly 100 words) to novella (60,000 words); preference is given to new (unposted) stories. Longer stories may be submitted for consideration for publishing in their own zine.

Art can be line-art or greyscale and can be anything from character sketches to comics.

Deadline:
I'm aiming for start-to-mid-July as the deadline, but it's flexible and can be moved up or back depending on how many submissions are sent in.

How to submit:
Please query first. That means drop me a message saying something along the lines of 'I have so-and-so story/art, here's the header info and filesize/format'. [Header info being title/author/rating/summary/etc.] Please don't send in submission without letting me know first! This makes sure that I've cleaned out my inbox so there's enough room.

Queries can be sent to me here: rabid_plotbunny(AT)yahoo.ca

Questions can be left for me here in comments or sent to the email addy listed above.

Please pass this along to anyone/list you think might be interested. Crossposted to: calm_bomber, elricest, fm_alchemist, fma_yaoi, roys_ass, ruins_fire, true_inversion

My apologies if you get this more than once. Just think -- I'm going to get it seven times... >_

Darkened Angel
Rating: Worksafe (I think), but shirtless
Note: This little Doozy made me want to break things. I had to resize him three times, and I had to go back and play with his face, because an eye magically disapeared on me... -_- So, Instead of being up three hours ago, he's up now, yay!!

Tis Kimbley, and he has wings, great big ones. ::shifty look:: My brain ran off on it's own tonight and went Kimbley=Lucifer? So, here he is.

Doujin preview

2005-06-02T03:54:33Z

As of tomorrow, June 3rd 2K5, I will be serializing a Kimberly/Al doujinshi in this community. The doujin will run at a one page per week basis, and perhaps more if people like it enough and once I get back to the states.

But due to the subject matter and title of the doujinshi, there are certain things that needs to be said. XD;;

Note: Title contains OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE. Might not be worksafe.

This is the cover of the doujinshi. Yes, the title of the doujin is called "F@ggot." I know it's offensive, but this doujin was inspired by a song by the same title by a band named Mindless Self Indulgence. And as the doujin goes on, there's actually a reference to this name.

It will be coloured once I decide to bind and sell this thing.

That is the warning, in a nutshell. This doujinshi is NOT worksafe. Not in the least.

So yes, tomorrow the doujinshi will debut with the cover, inside cover, and the first page. But due to the subject matter of the doujinshi, the posts will be friends-locked as to ~~secure my ass from being sued~~ keep from little kids looking at it.

First pic post! Whee!

Pic is NOT worksafe

...ultra sex.

Working on non-con Kimberly/Al doujinshi layout as I speak. I need to hit the hyaku-yen store soon.

Moral Compass

Moral Compass
By: Skeren Dreamera
Rated: PG at most
Notes: This is set towards the end of the series. I played with a few things around then, so there are almost certainly spoilers, though I’m not sure for what episode. I’m not sure if I want to give this more parts or not yet though. On to the decidedly devious Alphonse!
Tidbit: Alphonse had debated a long time before choosing to do things this way.

EDIT: ::grins:: One more thing, feel free to ask us about anything that crosses your mind, alright?

EDIT 2: So, who's willing to have the first post?
