I want to start a series comic about an acara adventurer. What would I have to do to get TNT to publish the first page, seen here? Should I send in more of the pages? Or is it just conceited of me to want the 'cover'?

Also, has anyone else done a series comic? How did it fare?

I know of one regular here who has a series of comics in the NT and their name is Kess - I'm sure they'll be able to tell you alll about it :)

With TNT, best to keep cover or any 'non-comic' sections in the 150 * 150 preview image. But that's just me

I'm vaguely certain that at one point I may have possibly read somewhere that you might need to send in the first four comics of any series. I.E. any comic that cannot stand alone and requires reading previous comics to make sense. I could be wrong, maybe.

That's pretty close, but not quite right.

The most current word on this from the NT editor was that if you're doing a comic series that doesn't have a separate, understandable joke for each part, you have to send in the whole arc (read: a set of comics that can stand alone and is complete in and of itself) at the same time. I can't remember if Droplet's ever said anything about the matter, but this was what Snowflake had been saying for quite some time before she'd left.

If you're going to try for the Times, you might want to visit the [url=ntwriters.proboards53.com]NTWF,[/url] because there's a lot of Times regulars there, and Droplet answers questions sometimes.


I'd agree with stampsyne about the cover, though- the preview image should be used for a cover. After all, the first page would hook the reader more than a cover would.
