First!

[alias_sqbr]

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to fan_comics, the place for all your fan-commiccy needs.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.

Currently I, alias_sqbr, am the only moderator. I really don't have a lot of time or energy to devote to this community, so expect some pretty lazy modding, but the idea got into my head about a year ago and despite my best efforts Would Not Go Away. I've never created a community before, so there may be a bumpy ride as I get the hang of it!

And yes, I did post a LOT on this first day. I do not intend to post so much from here on out :)

Various pages about fancomics

[alias_sqbr]

About a year and a half ago I realised there seemed to be NO resources for fancomics online, and I got a bee in my bonnet about it. I'm going to spread the stuff I found/made over a few posts, if nothing else it should create a nice set of tags to get us going.

First: pages about fancomics. The last two are fairly sparse wiki entries.

• Discussion about fancomics at fanthropology
  
• Comixpedia page
  
• Fanlore page
  

Resources

• Fan comics at Comics Genesis
  
• Fancomic's Corner A list of online Doujinshi

• Discussion of fancomics Where I found a lot of my links, though they should all be posted now.
  

links for Angel: the series

[alias_sqbr]

Fancomics based on "Angel: The Series". (Interestingly, there's these and quite a few about Firefly, but I haven't encountered any about Buffy. Possibly people don't feel the need since there's so many official spin-off comics)

• Smile Time: The comic This is so pretty!
  
• Synth crossover of "Angel: the Series" and "Fray". I haven't read this since I mean to read Fray eventually but it looks very nice.
  
• Angel fancomic vignette
  

Discworld comics

[alias_sqbr]

Some comics based on the world of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.

• The Adventures of Cheery Littlebottom
  
• Monstrous Regiment art contains some fancomics
  

Final Fantasy 7

[alias_sqbr]

I was linked these when I asked about fancomics on fanthropology, but haven't actually read them since I have vain hopes of one day finishing the game so don't want to be too spoiled.

• Growth
  
• Sunshine in Winter
  
• Sink to the bottom with you
  
• Final Fantasy High
  

Harry Potter comics

[alias_sqbr]

• Simply Potterific
  

And don't forget hpcomics!

Introducing Dr Sophie, alias sqbr

[alias_sqbr]

Right! I had one more example of the sort of post people could do here left on my list: introduction/self promotion. So here we go :)

I got into fanfic/fanart etc fandom a few years ago but never really felt like I was a part of it creatively, until I suddenly realised that a lot of the "webcomic" stuff I do is in fact fancomics. Having come to that realisation I was disappointed to realise that fancomics, in and of themselves, don't really have their own niche in fandom. I was then strongly overcome with the urge to create one all by myself, an urge I eventually gave into today :)

I don't actually create that many fan comics, since in general I produce creative stuff at a pretty slow rate.

I guess the first organised fancomics I did were for skeletor_hordak, a group He-man comic created by some guys in local (australian) science fiction fandom.
I then decided to draw one to help out the just-starting community red_packet.
Since then I've decided to get into fanart in a bigger way, and got my friends to give me some prompts, some of which resulted in fan comics. From there? Who knows.

All my fancomics can be seen at the fannish tag at my comics blog, the two I'm most proud of are The cast of Firefly celebrating Chinese new year and Steampunk Pride and Prejudice (even if I didn't write my own dialogue for that one :))

Torchwood: Torchwood babies

[alias_sqbr]

Torchwood babies Torchwood done in the style of "Muppet babies", very cute
