rachelmanija and I are editing and publishing an anthology of original manga short stories - sometime in the spring, since the current Rising Stars of Manga contest ends in January and we don't want to compete with anyone's time for that.
This is through PandaBuddha[1], currently a small, loose conglomeration of artists includingtesstrosa and nightambre for sure and several others in potentia.
So. Original (not fan) manga short stories, in the rough area of 3-20 pages, any genre but kept to PG-13 rating and below. With insultingly low payment - on the order of $10-20 + contributor's copy, but at least some payment, and a small print run of 50 or so copies, reprinted if there seems to be demand. Sold through the various cons PandaBuddha members go to and online.
Anyway, this is in its vague beginning stages at the moment, and if you think you might want to submit something for consideration, drop a line and let's talk. We're willing to work with people on developing/writing/drawing a story if it seems promising, and we're also willing to look at already-finished stories.
Any questions, please ask - we're fairly new to this, too, and are working it out.
rachelmanija is making a series of posts about manga writing basics, starting with:
Part I: Format. This is a common way of writing comic scripts, but you will find variations.
Part II: Dialogue
[1] So named because when it popped up in one ofdragonscholar's random generators, all the artists perked up and said "The logo possibilities!!" Never let it be said we don't have a firm grasp of priorities.
