New Projects and Ideas
What if "New Projects and Ideas" was made as a testing/screening zone for "NEW" ideas/concepts of anything including manga? The manga writers/artists can share their ideas and see what everyone thinks of it first. It will be way before starting the project or going any further in their story.
Case scenario: "I have an new idea for a manga....what do you think if I create __________ storyline?" Should I even bother with this idea? Good? Really? Sweet, I'll get working on it and post it in the webmanga thread.
Webmanga
As the story goes along, manga pages can be posted in the Webmanga thread for ppl to read and give feedback if desired. Titles that can be added to the Webmanga thread include the relatively more 'established' and approved ones such as "Steelblood", the Fall, Pilgrim's Progress. That would motivate ppl to get more serious with their manga...(well, it would for me coz I need motivation!
)
*********************************************
I'm hoping that this will unite manga artists and create a sub-community meant to encourage and support each other. Who knows we can get better collaboration that way.
I do caution that this would require close monitoring of the mangas and more work for the mods/admins.
We know how everyone's got their own ideas and sometimes can go way off. As much as we encourage creativity, the thread needs to have certain policies. Ex: Do we allow 'magic' stories? How much violence is allowed in the Christian manga? Age limit? Do we allow cussing as long as it's censored? 0.o
I know christian artists struggle with trying to be realistic and not being stumbling blocks at the same time. These are some points for mods/admin to ponder about before making decisions. Sorry to make you all think.....
Inky, got your point, thanks!
