I’ve been a little busy lately folks. I’ve been working behind the scenes on something big.

Allow me to introduce it now…

So, what the hell is this? Long story short, it’s a webcomic-collective and a webcomic-news site. Similar to a cross between Lunchbox Funnies and Fleen, or Blanklabel and Comixtalk, or maybe even a Websnark and Boxcar comics-hybrid if you will…

Is this ambitious? Incredibly so. You’d have to have a lot of support and assistance to actually pull that sort of thing off right? Well, turns out there is no shortage of assistance. Let me introduce all the webcomics involved in the collective aspect of the site… the Scienteers if you will…

Cosmic Dash, Lancaster: The Ghost Detective, The Errant Apprentice, All over Migglie, Breakpoint City, Impy and Aevy, Try Everything Once and Fortissima’s Treasure Hunters.

.. and that’s not even including all of our sub-projects and other comics we may do. Although, speaking of other comics, I suppose I should mention we’ll be doing comics for the site itself, taking advantage of all of our talents. So by visiting scienteers.com you’ll not only find a hub for the latest news and information from the group, but you’ll be able to enjoy brand new collaborative comics!

So… what if you’re not quite one of the eight Scienteers? How can you benefit from the group? Simple… we’ll plug and promote anyone who asks. In addition to a fully-active news site, well be constantly scouring the Internet for comics that need a spotlight shown on them. We’ll also be running a discussion forum that allows for like-minded creators to get together and promote, discuss and advise each other on the craft. On top of this, we’ll gladly post guest articles and guest comics.

Speaking of guest comics, how sweet would a situation be where you can do a guest comic for another site that is more or less an advertisement for yourself? Send a guest comic that is entirely a sampler for your own work. Your own characters, universe and style, shown to an entirely new group of readers? We’ll be setting time aside frequently for creators to send in their own promotional stories to post! Want to advertise your newest sci-fi epic? Do a short story and send it our way, we’ll post it right at the top of the page as one of our webcomic updates! Talk about a sweet deal huh?

Unfortuantely, this won’t be launched until February first, sorry folks! Until then, you can join in the forums, talk about the site, plug your comics and ask how you can participate! We could always use writers for articles, news-scouts and people to keep the community active.

Anyway, thanks a ton for reading this guys, all of us behind this crazy new site are looking forward to launching!

See you February first!

Hey all, be sure to read this page to see how we can promote your work! If you’re a webcomic artist looking for an expanded audience, we’ll be glad to help!

To summarize though, from the forum blurb…

One of the features of The Scienteers website is the idea that we want to expose webcomics that may not be getting enough attention when they’re well done.

So, one of the goals was to find a way to promote people’s webcomics frequently, thus we have two methods at our disposal.

One, submit your news to us! You can either use the handy-dandy on-site form or you can e-mail us directly at thescienteers@gmail.com. We’ll be posting news and blurbs as frequently as we can, so don’t hesitate to get ahold of us!

Secondly, we’re going to be running contributed promotional webcomics on our site. Essentially, you can send us 1-3 page promotional stories for us to run on the site and promote your work! Maybe a behind the scenes look, or a non-canon gag, or maybe even a preview of a much larger storyline. We’ll be pleased to run them during certain periods. It’s much better than a text link and a banner ad, right? The format of the comics, as well as futher information can be found on the comic submission page.

So, help The Scienteers help you. Send us news and comics so we can spread the word about your work!

So, be sure to take a look and try sending us a comic to run!

Over the next couple of days until the site launch, expect some downtime and layout changes.

Thanks for your patience while we get things sorted, and be sure to keep sending your news and comics to us!
