ATTN: ARTISTS AND WRITERS OF FLIST.
More specifically, those interested in Baccano!, Durarara!!, or Narita-verse in general.
A few of us are considering making a Baccano!/Durarara!! (and etc) doujinshi anthology for release at Fanime next year (late May, 2011). We want moar people to join us :D
Various things:
-We are aiming for ~100 pages. Depending on how many people we get, it could be more or less. Colour covers, b&w inside; initial print run probably about 50 copies.
-Rating would be for age 16 or under (all-ages, basically; you could have some kissing or something, but no full-out porn.) If you can show it on prime-time cable television, it can be in this book. I don't want to have to deal with carding people for the books ^^;
-You have the super bonus of most of Narita's works taking place in the same universe, and therefore crossovers are totally legit and in some cases canon >> (I think someone needs to do an old!Claire/Izaya trollcomic)
-We are looking for primarily COMICS, though super-illustrated stories (think picture books; an illustration per page plus some text) probably too; not so much plain fanfiction. We may or may not have pinup art (though I think it would be kind of cool to have each artist do a pinup for someone else's comic), it sort of depends. For comics, you are not limited to doing one 15 page comic or something, you can do multiple shorter ones, a bunch of 4-komas, whatever.
-We are looking for WRITERS who would be willing to work with an artist on a comic, as opposed to writing pure fanfiction (I know metronome for example would need a writer, and I would prefer to have a writer myself)
-As I highly doubt I would be able to pay for printing up front out of my own pocket, there's a very good chance that you would be required to chip in on printing costs (split however many ways, depending on the number of participants). Printing funds would be reimbursed in part or in full out of sales monies. Any excess will either go toward a second print run or be divvied up between participants, depending on demand.
I realize this is quite early to be thinking about this type of stuff, but I know a lot of you are either students or work, so it'd give you some 6-ish months to work on your stuff.
This is not limited to my friends list. If you have a friend or know someone who would be interested in participating, let me know and/or direct them to this post (which shall be unlocked). The only reason I'm not going "HEY BACCANO/DURARARA COMM WHO WANTS IN" is because for the time being, I'd rather have it be a group where most, if not everyone knows each other. This may change, depending on how many people we get.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE please leave the following information in a comment. I'll screen them for your privacy.
-Your name/nickname
-Your LJ username (if for instance you would rather use your art journal's username or something; if there's enough interest I will be creating an LJ comm to help us keep in contact with each other and do group planning)
-Your email address
-What you want to do (Comic, writing, etc)
-Will you need an artist or writer?
-Anything else? Questions? Comments? Flaming bags of poo?
Feel free to pass this link to anyone you think may be interested :)
Sorry this is late, Nat. XD

UPDATE: bluestraggler has done a much better job of explaining things here x3
