To have sex with history?

Dibs on the Civil War.

Email me at leavitt.john@gmail.com with pitches.

C'mon bunnies. I think you all are talented.\

It is a comic graphic novel thing... thing.

Jonmc, write a good 4 page comic about the civil war. Get an artist. Send it in.

Yeah, when's the deadline?
posted by Hugh Janus 05 August | 20:26
It's all pre-deadline yet, I am asking for submissions from cool guys first. So lets say September 27th for first grabs. Send me a story and some *some* examples of art.

I have no artist with whom to collaborate and this makes me sad.

Because this would be an excellent format for my half-written play about Einstein's first wife. It's set on a train. But the train is not traveling near the speed of light, because then it would be very, very heavy.

Dude. I can TRY to get you an artist. Send me a SCRIPT at leavitt.john@gmail.com and then we can talk

I am going to draw Cleopatra molesting Mark Antony in gyno stirrups.

stop looking at me funny.

Wait wait, does the premise have to be pure facts or can it be fiction? Or fact as springboard into fiction? And any kind of ratings? PG-13? R? NC-17? X?

...And do you guys laugh at bad drawings =( ?

Not if you set the train in space...

True. Then it would just be massive.

Yo, Whelk: Is the anthology tilted toward SEXY SEXY HISTORY SEXY or are less erotic works fit for inclusion? Cuz Mileva spends most of my story staring out a train window on the way to meet Albert at Lake Como. It's kinda melancholy, really. Though the visit did result in the birth of Einstein's first child, Liesrl.

Who got scarlet fever. Einstein left Mileva. Mileva's sister went crazy. Einstein abandons her and later tries to sue her over some property. Everyone she loves abandons her, dies, or goes insane. It's not a sexy story....

My sexual history, you say? What is this, Skull and Bones?

Interesting… what to pick…

Ah, crap. You already took the best answer. "We pay," was going to be my submission.

I'm open to a loose interpretation of Sex And History, I'd like a balance between facts and fancy, like a fictional story about the Gilded Cage that incorporates a lot of good factual detail would be a'ok ..or a brief biography of Nell Gywnn ..or an illustrated list of anti-masturbation devices ...or a re-telling of the orgin of the minotaur (He built a bronze cow so she could seduce the bull! crazy!) would all be up for consideration.

What I'm *really* looking for however, the thing tht makes my eyes sparkle, are when sex changes or influences history. Like Marie Antoinette becoming queen of France because all her sisters got pox or Crowley giving syphilis to everyone he met cause he thought it made people geniuses or something.

So that kind of thing.

Okay, I'll have a crack. Here goes:

Sex and History
by Pompomtom

Without sex, there wouldn't be nearly as much history.

The end.

can you set it to pictures?

Is anybody doing Profumo? Because if not, do I have a script for you.
posted by By the Grace of God 08 August | 08:08
No Profumo yet! There was a Profumo story in some comics crime anthology years ago but not very well written IMHO. Shoot the script over and I'll see if it sticks.
posted by The Whelk 08 August | 10:40
It's hard to fight the urge to do something very Hark, A Vagrant. Skimming varied bits of history doesn't help that at all.
