gaussbarrels.art•31 days ago

i'm not a writer, but i miiiiight have some fun drawing stuff for folks based off this anthology!! 🥰

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•30 days ago

We need pin-ups if that’s more up your alley

gaussbarrels.art•30 days ago

feel free to throw a DM my way! i promise im a real person lmao these art bots have gone crazy lately 😭😭

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•30 days ago

I can’t, your settings won’t let me

gaussbarrels.art•30 days ago

ltchandler.bsky.social•34 days ago

Having some thoughts. Might give it a go.

gmnair.bsky.social•31 days ago

I'm in.

papermolot0v.bsky.social•29 days ago

I have an idea for something if I can do one page. Very interested!!

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•29 days ago

Any number up to 4 pages is fine. Comic or prose? I’m capping prose submissions at the moment

papermolot0v.bsky.social•29 days ago

Comic! Can I dm you?

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yes indeed

beastfire.bsky.social•31 days ago

I'd be up for this! I've already got a comic idea in mind for it.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•31 days ago

DM me and I’ll send you some details

laguettler.bsky.social•31 days ago

📌

laguettler.bsky.social•31 days ago

I'm in. I'm so, so in.

moosenetz.bsky.social•31 days ago

Ooh what is the deadline for this? I'm so in if there's still time!

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•31 days ago

28th Feb, although if enough people find that troublesome I can be talked into an extension. DM me

parosier.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’m interested in details! Queer writer here.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•31 days ago

DM me and I’ll send them to you

40ozgoose.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’m all in.

I’ve got the perfect idea!

shaenon.bsky.social•34 days ago

Heck yeah.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•33 days ago

You in? I’m thinking a deadline of end of Feb for a mid-March launch

shaenon.bsky.social•33 days ago

Sure! Email me at shaenon dot com.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•33 days ago

Done!

spikeprime.bsky.social•34 days ago

I'd love to do a comic about punching a nazi!

Give me a deadline to do a 4 page story about it and I'll see if I can fit that into my art schedule!

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•34 days ago

Still deciding on a schedule. Want to strike while the Iron’s hot but also give people time to finish. What would you suggest

spikeprime.bsky.social•34 days ago

I may be able to get something done by the end of the month, just tricky as I'll have to fit it between full time job, commissions and other commitments

uncannyburt.bsky.social•34 days ago

Well, now I'm thinking of pulling out my long standing idea of 'Cowboys vs Nazis' I originally wanted to do as a short film (really wanted to do a series of 'X vs Nazis').

Unlikely to be able to find an artist for a short comic, but could work it into prose.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•34 days ago

I have artist friends on board I can link you in with

uncannyburt.bsky.social•34 days ago

Ooh, that could be great. Given it started as a short film idea it definitely works better visually.

memphisr56.bsky.social•34 days ago

*waves*

anaisl.bsky.social•31 days ago

Oh I like this

waylandsmith.bsky.social•34 days ago

I'd do that one.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•33 days ago

You’re welcome aboard. Happy to DM or email you details

pugsteady.com•34 days ago

I'm interested, but willing to give up my seat for other marginalised creators.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•33 days ago

I’m not capping contributions at the moment. I think if we have too many I’ll just divide it into two volumes. You’re more than welcome. I’ll DM you the details

pugsteady.com•33 days ago

Looking forward to it!

sylvie-althoff.bsky.social•31 days ago

Queer speculative genre trash welcome?

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•31 days ago

If a Nazi gets punched in it, it’s welcome. One story features time-travelling aliens beating up Hitler, so it’s really open season

lukewhenderson.bsky.social•33 days ago

📌

caseyadamsstark.bsky.social•31 days ago

This sounds like a worthy challenge! If I complete the challenge, I’ll return.

invaderliam.bsky.social•33 days ago

In. But you should specify word count so I don't use .5 font to fit a novel onto 4 pages.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•33 days ago

DM’d you

nerdyboiolly.bsky.social•33 days ago

Love this idea! Would be so in

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•33 days ago

DM me for details

granades.com•31 days ago

Well that sounds swell!

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•30 days ago

If you’re interested in contributing please DM me.

paigeleitman.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’m in. I would like to write about Nazis getting punched. Also eaten by hyenas. They are natures garbage collectors. I’ll only participate if you already have commitments from other femme folks and people of color.

storyteller222.bsky.social•31 days ago

I'd throw my hat in, but it's better for queer and the marginalized to have their time in the sun.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•31 days ago

If you change your mind you’re still welcome

storyteller222.bsky.social•31 days ago

I'll keep that in mind.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•30 days ago

Putting a cap on prose stories now. Still need some visual arts stuff - comics, pin-ups, and other illustrations.

jneiraauthor.bsky.social•29 days ago

Oh shoot, I just sent my submission a minute ago. 😱
Oh well. When is the cap closed for art? Maybe my friend can submit something there.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•29 days ago

No you’re fine, it’s only for people who haven’t made first contact yet. Art is still open and in no danger of being overrun anytime soon

tatumflynn.bsky.social•30 days ago

would something like this work? or do you want something more active?

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•30 days ago

DM me and I’ll give you the address to send the file

tatumflynn.bsky.social•29 days ago

have dmed 👍

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•30 days ago

No, that’s fantastic and completely fine

tatumflynn.bsky.social•30 days ago

oh nice 😊

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•34 days ago

Anyone interested in contributing please DM me to discuss

ajdeane.bsky.social•31 days ago

DM'd!

ormakal.bsky.social•31 days ago

Is there a deadline??

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•34 days ago

The story can be up to 4 pages. The Nazi may have already been punched, be in the process of being punched, or be awaiting a punching. The punching may be literal or metaphorical. The Nazi may be from any era, past or present. The important thing is to make those Nazi fuckers unwelcome

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•33 days ago

Ok clarifying some limits: comics - maximum 4 pages, prose, maximum 2000 words, poetry maximum a single page with any layout.

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•34 days ago

Comics, prose and poetry welcome

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•34 days ago

All stories must feature original characters or characters you own - no fan fiction. Previously published stories are A-ok as long as they fall into the rules above. Volunteers only

juliejubz.com•28 days ago

Do you still need more artists at all? 👀

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yes still taking art submissions

lovequeer.bsky.social•33 days ago

Id be interested in joining if i could share the stories of jews and roma who resisted genocide during WWII?

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•33 days ago

Sure, providing that’s culturally appropriate for you to do. DM me for details

cdchristopherson.bsky.social•31 days ago

Interested parties might also check out the 3 volume anthology comic called Always Punch Nazis by Pilot Studios

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•31 days ago

Ooh ok that’s a very similar title. I might have to change mine then. Shame, because Punch A Nazi really gets the point across

cdchristopherson.bsky.social•31 days ago

Let 1000 nazi-punching flowers bloom

pilotstudios.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thanks for the mention! Ive got a hardcover omnibus on Kickstarter right now!

strormer.bsky.social•34 days ago

I'm here for this.

tamchronin.bsky.social•31 days ago

Oh, I LOVE this idea! If my brain will cooperate with getting words on the page, I'm in!

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’ll DM you the details

beccapodos.bsky.social•31 days ago

I’m not NOT in…

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•31 days ago

If you DM me I can provide further details.

memphisr56.bsky.social•34 days ago

guerrillagram.bsky.social•34 days ago

What format do you need? How many words?

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•33 days ago

DMd you

ormakal.bsky.social•31 days ago

michelesliger.bsky.social•31 days ago

Honestly I’m so full of rage that when I think about writing a short nazi punching story it repeatedly goes to ultraviolence (soooo hard to stop at just a punch) so I gotta ask about the rules/guardrails here before committing

drbrainstorm.bsky.social•30 days ago

The level of violence is entirely up to you. It’ll have a content warning don’t worry.
