I have a short story that is just about done, which I should be able to submit tomorrow or late today. I know one month is the rule of thumb, and I've shaved it a little close, but do I still have a shot at getting into 550? (I seem to recall submitting with about 3 weeks left for 500 and getting in, but I'm not sure if that's actually how it happened. xD;)

Theoretically you could even submit in the week before issue 550 and still have a chance. Of course _that_ late would be highly risky to me, but right now, I think you are fine.

I submitted a comic last week and still haven't heard back from them :/
Hopefully I'll get my 2nd entry done today and I'm possibly doing a 3rd one although my friend and I don't have a definite idea yet, and I kind of feel like if I am going to submit a 3rd entry, it's got to be better than the first 2 ¬.¬
Hmm, but since I haven't heard back yet, is that a bad thing? How long do they usually take to reply? I've only submitted a few times and I always get the reply on the next Monday, so I'm worried.

I hadn't submitted in ages, so don't quote me on this, but I think waiting around two weeks is normal, so I think you have nothing to worry about yet. ^^ Just one thing, though... are these three entries all for issue 550? Because you can only get published once in each issue, so if you send 3 things, unfortunately only one of them will have a chance of getting in. If they're for different issues then don't mind me. ^^; |

I know that only one will be able to get published though. But if they reject one, maybe they will take another one? |

I just wanted to make sure you knew because I imagine it would be really disappointing to work really hard on three entries only to have two of them automatically rejected cause you can only be published once. D: But since you're aware of that rule, then I'll just wish you good luck! ^_^ (And who knows, maybe you can modify your ideas for the ones that don't get in so you can get published in other issues too!) |

All right, thanks, Chao. x3
*crosses fingers* I just hope it's not too far on the dark side, because I'm not sure I'll have time to tone it down if it gets rejected. xD; Another 50th issue would be nice to get into.

I think I started a story, but it was only the beginning that I had planned out and frankly, I have no idea what to do with the rest of it. XD;; Hopefully I can get it done today and then submit.
Good luck to all of you! ^-^

Hmm, so I have 2 comics that are 550th-issue themed, but I also have a bunch of other comics on the side, which I think are better. It was really restricting to come up with something actually themed so.. question: will submitting non-themed comics be accepted too if I put "for the 550th issue"? Or are they mostly going to put NT-themed stuff up?
I kind of rambled on, but basically, should I try submitting my other, non-themed comics too?

Non-themed comics can make it in, but themed ones usually get priority. After all, a non-themed comic is usable any time, but if it's something specific to issue 550, it can't really be used much elsewhere. Yanno, focusing on just making a really funny comic will probably serve you better than submitting lots and lots of comics. XD |

I've known about this forum for awhile, just never posted or made an account until now.  I have a few questions... I submitted a collaboration article, and 2 individual articles (I didn't think about the possibility of one of the individual ones getting in, causing my collab to become void, and causing my friend to become ineligible D:). Does submitting multiple articles for the 550th issue hurt our chances? I thought it could only help... And I'm currently almost done with another collaboration article with the same person. Should I submit it for the 550th, or is it better to just wait? I've worked very hard on these and don't want my chances hurt just because I submitted too many. :/ If anyone can help, thank you! |

XD I've thought of that, which is why I'm not submitting a 3rd one unless it is significantly better than the first 2. I'm not that much of a comic person though. I'm just the artist and I think most of my ideas are bad/not that funny. But of course if a new idea comes along that's better than the previous ones, I'm going to feel like I need to submit it because it's better :< |

I can't imagine that submitting multiple things could hurt your chances, aside from the fact that now your friend has a 2/3 chance he/she won't be in the issue. XD;; Honestly, I'm surprised to hear so many people submitting multiple things to this issue (there was a question in a recent Editorial, if I recall). I suppose if it started to get excessive, there'd probably be another Editorial post about it. XD |
