Challenge preparation: comic snarking

[pith]

When I'd asked about the FAQ overhaul (which I'll be posting about again in about a week), lovedstrangely had suggested a challenge in which members pasted their own dialogue into the Anita Blake comics. Since I have the graphic-altering ability of an amoeba, I'll need some help setting this up.

NB: The challenge isn't on yet. I'm simply asking for volunteers to help get things set up.

What we'll need:
1) Pages from the comic. Obviously, we don't need EVERY page from EVERY issue. A sampling of pages with particularly snarky potential are good.

2) People to remove the dialogue from said pages.

If you can help on either front, please let me know.

This is obviously a challenge that lends itself to people who, unlike me, are good at manips and such. If you're like me and suck at this sort of thing but still have snarky dialogue you want to contribute, see if you have a graphicy friend who'd be willing to partner with you. (Though the challenge isn't on yet, I put this in now so you have time to get prepared.)

I've got all of the comics downloaded on the computer. You're welcome to them. I can remove text as well.

Thanks! Would you be able to put them in a zip file and send it to the lkh.lashouts gmail address?

[zombiexbunny.livejournal.com]

Yep, I sure can :)

[pith]

Thanks :) Let me know when you can do that for me, and I'll start getting the challenge in motion.

I don't have the comics, but I can remove the text from the blurbs. Feel free to contact me at SummersSpirit@aim.com.

I can do text removal, too. Whack it my way if you need me.

[pith]

Danke =)

What do you think would be the best way to organize this? Upload the files somewhere and get text removers to grab at their leisure (which opens to the door to "Removed to due copyright infringement" drama) or just send them out to text removers individually?

[windiain.livejournal.com]

Individually, I reckon. Also saves on people getting mixed up and two people removing the same text etc etc.

[amyheartssiroc.livejournal.com]

I've got the first few issues and can do text removal.

[vitriolick.livejournal.com]

I can report for text removal duties as well. Let me know.

It'd be locked, right? I remember improved_archie or whatever it was got taken down for doing that to Archie comics. I think it might have been just covers, too. :O

[pith]

Yep, the entries to that challenge will be locked. Doesn't make us completely safe, but about as safe as we can get.

*nodnod* Yeah... hopefully this won't bring the Wrath of Khan Lawyers down upon our heads.

Maybe we could put them on a geocities dummy page or something.

filestube.com allows you to search rapidshare for the chapters.

That sounds like a freakin awesome idea! :D

[pearkiwi.livejournal.com]

If you still need people, I can remove text as well.

[darksongtrilogy.livejournal.com]

I'm in, too. I can remove and/or add text as needed.
