Business proposal 1
This goes out to Dan, Angela, Gene, JD and Kost. Five people I admire, four of which I consider close friends, or at the very least swell guys (and girl). XD
Since 2009, I've been one of three editors at an independent sci-fi/superhero/fantasy comics anthology http://www.svenskasuperserier.se, the only one of it's kind in Sweden. Despite the name, we are no more a pure-bred Swedish magazine than anything else there. lol!
Seriously though, onto the proposal. Suppose you guys would like to see how well your work would fare on an international market, but without the risks of self-publishing, funding and such? That's where we step in. We LOVE your work and we would love to feature Vigil, Fowl, Maverick, Rocket & Bounce or Acrobat comics in an issue.
Note that there is no personal financial gain for either you or us, all income goes to printing new issues and reprinting old ones. It's good publicity though, and we'll be sure that none of our readers miss out on where to find new stories, by linking them all back to this site.
A few points of interest.
- We pay for the printing, it doesn't cost you guys a nickle.
- You guys have plenty of material that still feels fresh to this day, so don't think we want you to publish all-new stories just for us. We're quite content with what you've managed to serve up so far.
- Each contributor gets a free copy of the issue they feature in, mailed through postal service right to their door.
- We are independent. EVERYONE retains the copyrights of their material, me and my friends know what's fair. We do not presume to be an exclusive outlet either, you can choose what to do with your own future material.
- We are a B/W/Gray publication, so no color work is necessary.
- Translation - No biggie, we'll take care of that.
The Private Files of the Fowl > FÃ¥gelns Privata Filer
Rocket and Bounce > Raketen och Studsaren
Acrobat > Akrobaten
Vigil > Vaka
Maverick and Friends > Ensamvargen och Vänner
Don't worry, that was just for the evil lulz. Vital things such as names of characters, locations, organizations, themes and such would remain untouched by our translations. Also, we're not going to go all 4Kids on you and edit out "questionable" material, our anthology doesn't have ratings.
Proposal 2 - We would like to interview you guys!
This is the next best thing, and one that I'm sure at least one of you would jump at the opportunity of being part of.
Don't worry, Kost, I know how much you value your secret identity, so if I were to interview you, I would be sure not to ask too personal questions.
Proposal 3 - Exchanging ads. We'd like to put up a link to your site on our page of affiliates, we just think you guys are awesome!
Phew! That's about all of it. Think about it, and contact me at sandberg.sebastian@telia.com (Or just drop me a note on DA, Speedslide) if I've peaked your interest and you have any questions. But PLEASE, do not post "Thanks, but no thanks" responses, I prefer it if you just ignore it. XD
