| December 14, 2007 14:26 - Hey Potential Comic Creators, Hang in Here!
I have been contacted several times from would be comic book creators on trying to give them some exposure on my site. Although that is not the main jest of my site, I am creating an area for amateur creators. BUT, I just ran across a story talking of a site, Planet X Fiction that looks like just what the doctor ordered. Check out the story:
"New comic book company gives Opportunity to break into the industry with their ideas
Arts & Culture
Press release from: Planet X Fiction
(openPR) - A new comic book company that devotes its development through the means of an online community has begun to start an online viral marketing campaign through the means of YouTube videos and word of mouth advertising. This new comic book company is called "Planet X Fiction."
The goal of Planet X Fiction is to help new talent that is interested in pursuing a career within the comic book industry the opportunity of showcasing their work to a potentially large online audience. Ideas for brand new stories that have not been proposed to the current comic book market can be expressed through Planet X Fiction's online community forum.
The creator of Planet X Fiction, Brad Johnson, had these comments regarding the importance of having a community based comic book company: "The appeal of comic books is getting stronger as each day passes. The people who make the best kind of stories are the fans themselves, because they know exactly what they want out of a comic book. It's so hard for the common comic book fan to make it into the major companies such as Marvel, DC, Dark Horse or Image and there's always the continuous fear of absolute rejection. With Planet X Fiction, not only do you have an opportunity to share your thoughts and ideas with many other comic book fans, but you have the chance to get noticed online. Planet X Fiction is always looking for new stories and new concepts. Granted, not everything gets approved, but in many ways, this is a good thing as it teaches those who are passionate about getting into the industry to improve their creativity in such a way that it can lead to an eventuality of getting noticed, either through Planet X Fiction or even another major player in the comic book industry."
Individuals who are willing to share their ideas..." To finish the comic book creator story, click here!
Well, if you happen to be an aspiring comic book creator yourself, you will have to let us know what you think of Planet X Fiction. I will also have to surf the site when I get a little free time. Maybe one day I will see you in the comic book limelight! Later.
