k so

I was thinking of doing a comic where readers supply some of the content. eg. I put up a strip, then the readers suggest what they think the characters should do next. Does this sound interesting? ;o

(The storyline will involve a guy who finds himself in the world of NetHack, complete with the unrealistic inventory system. But it will be the graphical version of NetHack, for a variety of reasons... Vulture's Eye, specifically.)

EDIT: On second thought, I'll just make it some video game world, but will portray it through Vulture's Eye.

If you've got enough readers, it should work fine. Sounds awesome!

This seems to be very similar to MS Paint Adventures, but its still a good idea.

Lol, I'm aware. I thought I mentioned that as inspiration.

Anyway, I'll start this if five (5) people say that they'll subscribe. Why? I'll need a few readers to start with who can supply ideas, that's why. I'd like to guarantee that this will occur.

EDIT: Walpicide! Upon further thinking I realized that it's a lot closer to MSPA than I had originally realized... I only wanted to take the "interactive" aspect, but also unthinkingly took the "in a video game" aspect. >.> Mebbe I'll change that, but probably not.

I'd sub, for sure. If I remember to sub when you make it... you'll have to bump the thread. But yeah, I'll sub.

We've had a couple of other comics like this too.

Superpie's Waiting for the Bus and Marysue's Market Day come to my mind.

Long as you can keep up with it, I think a user driven comic is great.

Found a much better way to do the art, and have decided to drop the "in a video game" idea for... something. I dunno what yet. I REALLY don't know... I'll even take suggestions at this point.

How about some guy who ends up in the internets themselves? Then he can end up on sites all over the internet and hilarious things can happen.

I love the sound of this. The websites he could end up on... it makes me think of the geographical internet map:

Thanks, but... She's a girl... Not a guy... ;P

I'll put something up within 24 hours, now that I have the first suggestion.

sounds good! I'm in! Maybe she could have a slight pest that follows her... Like a virus stalker or something?

Heh, just wait and see. I DO preplan some things... And that is (sort of) one of them. ;P

EDIT: Took a while but it's up.
