My name is
Mariah Kidd. At 19, I'm not an expert at storytelling or anything else, but I
have thought a lot about the stuff on this blog. You can contact me at mariahkidd@me.com
This blog
will cater to people who want to tell pro-life stories, specifically webcomics,
though much of the information will work in all mediums.
Why
webcomics? First let me explain what they are for those of you who don't know:
webcomics are comics that are online. They are usually updated a page at a time
once or multiple times a week. They can be about all kinds of things, not just
superheroes. There are websites that host webcomics for free. Email me and I'll
give you some links to webcomics that I like that may not be pro-life to give
you a better idea of what they are.
Webcomics are
something that I am interested in, and there are many people who read them.
With their update schedule, a pro-life comic would stay on the mind of the
reader longer than a book. A collaboration of pro-life webcomics could have the
power to influence the culture. It could save lives.
I want to pair
artists with writers, so that those who want to do only one of the two can do
so without looking in places that may not be so kind to pro-lifers. If you are
interested in drawing or writing a pro-life comic, please contact me so I can
add you to the list. Please include an online portfolio or a one-sentence
description of your story so that people can find a good fit. If you do not
have a portfolio or a story ready, you can still participate in our group
project. The idea is a group of writers collaborate and write a short story,
and a group of artists each draw one page. The goal is that a group project
would be going on at all times, and anyone can participate.
Any pro-life
webcomics that the community creates will be featured in a blog post at its
launch. (And as long as it remains manageable, I will link to the comics when
they update in a blog post. This may turn into a "comics that updated
yesterday" blog post.)
If you are
interested in technical stuff and want to help with the website, please contact
me. I barely know what I'm doing on that front. Any help would be appreciated!
I especially need someone I could contact when I need help.
If you are
interested in writing articles, contact me with your idea and a sample of
writing. You can also send me ideas for articles you want to see.
This is not the
place to debate abortion. I will not approve any comment that is not about
pro-life stories or the blog post. This is to create a safe environment for the
artists and writers, and I ask you respect it. You can email me if you really
want to debate.
