transJust a note that I'm still looking for artists for the 9th Annual Transgender Day of Remembrance Webcomics Project.
For those of you who don't know about the project, in a nutshell, we're a
group of webcomic artists and authors who put together a remembrance strip
for late November. There is always a running theme, but the themes are
voluntary (especially if your comic has no TG characters). If you'd like
some examples of the 2005 and 2004 entries, you can see previous projects
for yourself at the Webcomics DOR site at http://www.dolari.net/dor.
All we ask is that you link to the other comics running images as well,
and keep the images up for your normal comic-length. We're aiming at
having these displayed on the week of the 20th. After the comics are
done, I'd love your permission to keep them on my Day of Remembrance site,
at http://www.dolari.net/dor
This year's theme is a little less confrontation than last year's. The
theme proposed is a more "This is your brain on drugs" narrative
presentation. The character will very matter-of-factly decribe a
situation that led to them being killed for being trans or swapped, with
the final panel revealing the tombstone of that character (preferably
based on someone who has died this year - a listing can be found at
http://www.gender.org/remember/day/who.html).
For example, my comic will have Allison relate about a day she had where
she was outted and was beaten to death over several panels. Eventually,
the last panel will have her walking into the dark with the tombstone
prominently displayed.
Again, the themes are voluntary, and if you have an idea you'd like to
pursue, or a better idea for a theme that you'd like to present, please
do.
Please let me know if you'd like to participate this year by letting me
know via EMail (jenn@dolari.net). IF you know someone who may be interested,
but isn't on this list, by all means, forward it along (especially as real
life has kept me from researching the newer comics out there).
Thanks again! Look forward to hearing from you soon.
