You don’t need a bank account nor a credit card to open and use paypal.
You can make an account on mobile.
Paypal takes a fee off money transactions, but doesn’t have a ‘subscription/user fee’.
You do need to be over 18 (you don’t need confirmation straight away, but paypal freezes your account if they think you’re lying about your age in which case using your confirmation (ID) comes in handy)
If you don’t have a bank account to send the money to, you can simply use the money directly from paypal in places that allow it. For example, you can buy games on steam, but you can’t donate to a kickstarter. (If your paypal is connected to a credit card you can do both).

Yeah, like I said making it on my country apps is difficult because PayPal is not particularly integrated (I might be using the wrong word) here yet. But maybe the app has updated and you can make it through mobile now. (Btw I registered using my phone browser)

At everyone talking about Paypal:

Nevermind, I made it thanks to the info. Don't continue the conversation please.

Hey, this sounds like tons of fun, but I have a few questions!
I'm not sure if you're planning on specifying how large the comics should be. Since it looks the best if it's consistent with equally sized page margins and titles, should we think about that or is it all free hands as long as it within A4? How many panels per page? Is the there a max or minimum?

Does the participants of the magazine get a copy when its finished? Would it be any extra fees to receive it if you live far away? Also what country will it be published? It could be important in how the content appears. (Culture differences and whatnot, Swedish coffee is different from other countries.)

I feel like participants should get some more information about layout, like a template, especially when it comes to the thank you notes. I'd at least like to know how it's supposed to be presented. The design of a magazine can be critical to how professional it appears.

Oh, I meant browser? Apps are usually the same globally, they have no reason to release different versions to different countries

[silverraven0]

Is that so? I can't make one back then, so maybe I'm the one that didn't really understand it.

[silverraven0]

That's what I want to know too. Margins for manga and normal American comic actually wasn't the same so I want to know which you guys would be using.

This sounds really cute and fun. Time to start brainstorming.

[faeriesandents]

The specified size is A4, so anything bigger or smaller will simply not work on the page size we will send out to the printer.

Participants will receive 5 copies of their own to sell or give away for themselves (may be more depending on the kickstarter, but at least 5 guaranteed)

It'll be published in the Netherlands, with Europe being a very active comic scene and selling both the digital and physical copies on our website.

As for the template, good idea! Let me fix it up

EDIT: added the template!

EDIT2: I overlooked your question about receiving copies with extra fees: No, the delivery cost will be ours no matter where it needs to go. (at most it won't have a Track and trace code because it could go up to €40 for us with that included)

[mrtoontastic]

Heck yeah~!

[Rhonder]

Coffee's a great theme :> I'll definitely give it some thought over the coming weeks~

[faeriesandents]

Yaaaay We'd love to see that

Edit: added an extra template to show the advised comic sizes (stay within the black lines), and the one we will use ourselves for the printer.

For the pitching process, would you rather we send a plot summary or a draft of the story?

[minerrale]

A plot summary would be easiest for us

[faeriesandents]

Both are perfectly fine! Though a plot summary would be a little quicker to go over for us, but that's about it.

[Jenny-Toons]

Okie doke! Thank you lovelies!

[Jenny-Toons]

Hi there! The form for the pitch just popped up, so I'll have to resend my email again ^^"

[faeriesandents]

We're not open until March 1st!!! XD

This looks pretty interesting maybe I will pitch something.

In particular something about the industry / creation of coffee seems really interesting to make (since I have agriculture background I like these kinds of things ~ )

I do have one question, in the application form, what is the difference between the "art examples" and "concept art"? Is "art examples" basically like a portfolio, not having anything to do with the particular project but just to show the artist's skill in general?
