2005 Transgender Day of Remembrance Webcomics

[dolari]

Last year, Erin Lindsey (of Venus Envy) and I with the blessing of Gwen Smith who runs the Day of Remembrance website (at http://www.rememberingourdead.org/day/ ) started working with a few other artists to put together a one day "network" of comics each showing a strip dedicated to the DOR. Last year's comics were extremely well recieved, helping raise awareness of the deaths of transgendered folk all across the globe. You can view my entry from last year here: http://www.dolari.org/cs/2004dayofremembrance.htm

If you're a webcomic artist and have TG, TS or even Bodyswap themes in your comic, I'd like to ask if we could use one day of your comics to be a part of the 2005 Transgender Day of Rememberance. The more comics we can get networked, the more people will see each other's DOR strips. If you'd like to be a part of it this year, please let me know. I'll send you the recommended theme we'll have for this year (not a requirement, but would help maintain some consistency through all the comics).

The 2005 Day of Rememberance is on November 20th. The sooner you can let us know, the sooner we can begin work.

Thanks a million for your consideration, and look forward to hearing from y'all soon.

Is it on November 20th, which is a Sunday, or the 19th, which is a Saturday? Rather, which day is the ceremony in Austin?

I'm not sure when the Austin Ceremony is. Erin's in charge of that, I just do the comics version. :)

The actual day itself is November 20th.

Jenn, thank you so much for trying to organize another TGDOR webcomic rememberance. I remember being touched by last year's efforts, and hope more people participate this year. If it is a go, then I will make sure Ethan St. Pierre mentions everyone doing this on his TransFM show. Maybe everyone will be able to get more readers from that.

It's absolutely a go, yes. And all the comics there are working on DOR comics (with the exception of the two Wotch comics who are on the fence, and Venus Ascending, which is waiting on permission from Erin to use a character for that).
