New Bite Me! website

HELLO NEW WEBSITE.


New scans of all the pages. New site. New eeeeeverything. And:

Only 10 (ten!) days until Bite Me! is for sale online! Only 2 (two!) days until Bite Me! is for sale at the Stumptown Comics Fest!

In celebration of the book's print debut, I am declaring A BOOK GIVEAWAY CONTEST.


TERMS OF THE CONTEST:

1) re-stage a panel from Bite Me! and send in a digital photo of it.

Any panel you like. You don't have to try and recreate it exactly - in fact, creativity will earn points. If you can get a celebrity to stand in for Claire, or instead of on horseback you're on an elephant, or if you're wearing a bunny suit? Aces.

The key is to get the facial expressions and general composition right! The rest is gravy.


DETAILS:

E-mail your photo to: bitemecontest@gmail.com
Please make sure your photo is less than 1Mb.

Please also be sure to send me or link me to the page containing the original panel you're recreating!

All the original pages are now hosted on my own server - use them for reference!


PRIZES:

Grand prize is the deluxe Bite Me! package - a copy of the book, a commemorative spoon, a set of 5 Bite Me 1"-buttons, a "Real Vampires Don't Sparkle" sticker, and an original sketch.

One runner-up gets the book with an original sketch.

Top 10 will be displayed in an online gallery on the website with my commentary.


DEADLINE:

April 24th - winners announced April 26th, when the store opens!

Exciting! Eheh, the colour of 'new readers' immediately suggested that to my mind that I was really reading 'fresh blood'...

And oh dear,'Real Vampires Don't Sparkle'? I think I'd do it for the sticker.

Just popping in to offer my congrats on the new website. It looks great. Although you might want to fix a typo on the main page where it says: "a comic begun in 200,...". I don't think "Bite Me!" is that old.;)

Yay, new website! Now I can finally read it without the burden of Girlamatic's frankly annoying layout.

I was hoping for the video contest, myself.

Yeah, I decided it was just gonna be too burdensome for most folks. I'll do the video contest when, uh...the film rights sell? Yeah.

Sounds good to me. ;)

Nah, the photo thing is much more viable, understandably. I ain't bitter.

Also, damn, the rescanned pages look great. But I was ten pages in before I remembered about the alt-text. Oops!

check flights to buffalo and then drive over. costs a LOT less, since it's not considered "international". It's less than a 2 hour drive. Pain in the bum when you're travelling with a lot of stuff but i have a feeling you won't be returning home with much!

I think some people I know are flying to Detroit and then driving up. I'll ask around!

Also, uh, there appears to be no page 88. 87 links straight to 89, leaving me very confused.

Actually there's no missing page, just a mistake in how the numbers are numbered in the post below! (and an awkward dialogue transition.) Dohhhhhhh. I'll fix that after this weekend...thanks for picking up on it!

Is there also a problem with page order for pages 66 and 67 and the page where Ginevra attacks her husband? Or am I remembering it wrong?

Um, never mind about the last page. But I still do think 66 and 67 are posted backwards.

Two questions. Can I order the comic, living in Europe? And will I be able to pay through Paypal?

Yes! and yes! I will ship it to anywhere that the mail can go! And for online orders I will be taking payment through Paypal exclusively, unless somebody wants to send me money in the mail.

Hahah, I think I might have to try this.

(PS: I think there's a clause missing in the About page ... In the end, however, the very reasonable but labor-intensive demands made by publishers (ie “can you make the lettering legible”), the need to earn a living for the very first time, and the sudden realization that having artwork done by myself at a very young age suddenly marketed as contemporary work might not, in fact, be a great career booster.?)

Gorgeous site! Only one thing- on the cast page, Audric isn't lined up with the rest of the characters.

Yeah, it's that way on PCs. I can't figure out what the deal is since I don't have access to a PC and can't check if my fiddling fixes the problem! AAAAaaarghh o_O
