It's gotta go somewhere :O) Jen Hi,

My comic's already 48 pages long and I'd really not like to stretch it to 52. But its okay if it is, I'm just wondering. I’ve got a question about this… will it take up space in my comic?

You'll need to place a reorder -- "0" quantity is fine -- and let us know what the changes are. If your total page count changes (if you're adding to as opposed to just substituting a page) then keep in mind you must add in 4 page increments for comics and 2 page increments for books.

Would it still cost $5 extra to edit the files, and then change the price of the book to add ad pages? Also a digital ad swap would be really cool as well.

I don't have a timetable, but I hope to post it soon. And we have no objections whatsoever to any content (within our stated content guidelines) -- ads included -- you run <em>inside</em> your comics. Feel free to swap ads in any way you want. We simply created the ad swap club to facilitate ad swapping between creators who don't know each other personally.

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 18:43:54 +0000 http://ka-blam.com/printing/front/?p=333#comment-709 Will there be an alternate version of the Indy Planet base available? Probably not, since alternate Ka-Blam ads for the book interiors are no longer available, but I want to ask anyway. It would be cool to maybe have some color variants so as to provide greater flexibility when attempting to design aesthetically cohesive ads. If not, will you encumber the running of ads not bearing the Indy Planet base agreed upon by creators outside of the Ad-Swap Club?

So there's no extra cost for participation or for periodically rotating your ads. Which brings me to another point of clarification ... this is a voluntary program. Your participation is welcomed, but by no means required. If this isn't your cup of tea, that's OK. You don't have to play. No one will think less of you. Promise. If you do choose to participate please keep in mind that this is as much -- or more -- about promoting the books you like as it is about promoting your own work. Hopefully, your ads will be run and run frequently. But there are no guarantees. Reciprocity in kind is not required. Just because you run someone's ad doesn't mean they're required to run yours. They're not. By posting an ad you're committing to run ads in your books. But the ad or ads you run is entirely up to you. If you want to run a reciprocal ad, then by all means do so. But it is not required. Our only recommendation is that you promote what you like. That's the what this is all about. Point of Clarification –
