How Impromanga Works

The Idea:

One person creates characters and a storyline. From then on, it's up to you! Anyone can sign up to do a chapter. There is no script. The only rule is this: Please use discretion in your work. This is the Internet, and anyone (including children) could be reading your comic.

Chapter Submission Guidelines:
  • Your pages must be all black and white, or all color.
  • Each page must be under 350k
  • Image width must be 600 pixels or less
  • Submissions must be 16 pages or less
  • Images must be in GIF or JPG format

If you must violate one or more of these guidelines, please explain why in your submission. Images over 350k and/or wider than 600 pixels may be modified, or, in ridiculous extremes, disqualified. Submissions that have more pages than the limit may be cut off at the limit. All of these rules are at the discretion of the maintainers.

You can only be on 2 signup lists at a time. Remember, only sign up if you actually plan on doing a part! Skipped parts will not be looked upon kindly, and extensions will generally not be granted -- in order for us to update on a regular schedule, parts need to come in on time. Be sure to give yourself enough leeway to get your images scanned and do any post-processing on them that might be neccessary.
