As some of you may know, I have a website (http://www.vikingspace.com) that I'm not really using. My own webcomic ("Jim The Viking") has been more-or-less abandoned for several years now, and I'm currently dedicating most of my creative time to helping Poe out here or the series of novels I'm working on. Instead of just letting the space go to waste, I've decided that I'm going to give back to the community by founding what is essentially a "webcomic commune".
Having been a struggling webcomic artist once upon a time myself, I know how difficult it can be trying to get your unique comic vision and/or view out there without getting lost in the rat race (aka Keenspace or whatever it's called now) or having to fork up money you don't have on a chance that you might make it back in ad revenue. I was lucky enough to have a friend who offered me a place to "squat" on his website until I was sure if I wanted to take the plunge and pay for a site myself... so I figure that's the least I could do back.
Here's the rundown on more-or-less what I'm offering:
- Ad-free unlimited space and bandwidth
A _____.vikingspace.com redirect to your page
Up to 3 _____@vikingspace.com email addresses
A floaty link on the main Vikingspace.com front page
Your own forum in the Comics section of my forums
A blog (once the blog section is up and running)
Limited html and php help (I can set up a basic website off any number of templates, including a WALRUS php script to display your webcomics... or you can design your own)
Almost no restrictions to content
... oh, and it's free.
So, would any of you be interested?
