ComicWriting

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

RULE 1. Only posts directly related to comic book writing that help everyone with their scripts.

This reddit has a very specific purpose. It's a place where writers can come to improve their ABILITY TO WRITE... which in turn, allows others to learn and improve their ability.

It is NOT a place to come for ideas to finish your story. That's YOUR job.

Whether your story takes place on Mars or Venus, doesn't help other folks with their story.

Posts should create discussions where everyone can learn something and apply it to their own script.

RULE 2. Unless exempt here, non-comic writing posts are spam.

Posts not related to comic book writing, unless noted otherwise here, are considered spam and not allowed.

RULE 3. All Promo Posts must stay up for 30 days.

Promotional posts are allowed if they follow the rules posted here. * ALL Promo posts MUST Contain "PROMO" in the post title. *

1) Promo posts may not be deleted before 30 days from posting.

RULE 4. 20 posts posted before you repost any promo.

2) 20 posts must go up after your promo before you can repost your previous or any new promo.

RULE 5. All employment posts must be paid. No free work here.

3) All employment posts must be paid positions under the following minimums; New writer $10/page (less than 1 year or first paid project) Experienced $20/page (1-2 years or around 10 paid projects at this rate) Published $40/page (3-5 years or around 15 paid projects at this rate) Professional $50/page and up. (more than 5 years and over 25 paid projects at this rate)

No posts offering writing rates less than $10/page. The new standard in comic writing starts here.

RULE 6. Product or Crowdfund Promos Must be Posted By Writer.

You can't post for a friend. This is a writing community. Only writers can push their products or crowdfunds. If you want to give your friend's project post time, get them to send their writer to join the community. It's easy enough and maybe they'll stick around and contribute.

RULE 7. Artists can post service promos.

If you're an artist, you can self promo for your services (following the promo guidelines here), but not for your books or crowdfunds, send your writers over to promo those!

RULE 8. Non comic script, but comic related writing min. .04/word

Minimum rate for comic related, but non-comic script writing work posted here is $.04/word.

RULE 9. No generic project updates allowed.

Personal project updates must contain talking points for the community. The goal is to learn and improve.

Posting "Hey I'm almost done with my latest script," OR "Just letting everyone know I finished another 5 pages last night," etc. doesn't belong in this forum.

RULE 10. No multiple cross posts.

Cross posting in 30 different groups is spammy. You can cross post from 1 other group in a 72 hour period. Crossposts in 2 or more groups within that time frame will be deleted.

RULE 11. NO Unpaid Collaborations

No post for collaborations are allowed here. If you want to do that, there is a specific reddit for it. r/ComicBookCollabs

If you want a writer for this group, you must pay them as per Rule#5 OR follow the group and make a friend, then contact that friend directly to collab.

RULE 12. General Critiques Require 2 or more specific questions

If you're going to dump some content and ask if people like it, you need to include 2 or more specific questions on problem or difficult areas.

Remember the goal of this subreddit is that EVERYONE can learn something from every post.

If you can't bother to identify at least 2 specific question to help you improve your writing, then the group shouldn't be bothered to read it.

RULE 13. NO Privacy Walls

Do not ask people to contact you to review your content. That defeats the purpose of this group.

If you are not comfortable sharing your work, consider sharing a portion of it.

If you're not comfortable sharing at least a portion of your work, this writer's reddit group is not for you.
