Dear guest,

YOU'RE INVITED (words, words, and more words)
If, after reading this, you feel like adding your own slightly mangled vision, but your mangled vision shouldn't contain adult or controversial stuff, for obvious reasons, to this project, please contact dacreatif2, Esercenima, or mollygrn (No longer reachable).

What's THIS?
This comic is an offshoot of the established Gabby and Bill's Adventures created by mollygrn, but the main protagonists are Sam (dacreatif2) and Molly (mollygrn). The original Gabby and Bill Adventures were short animations in the style of a PowerPoint presentation. (Rough frame by frame animations) This project is web-based and is conceived to allow a level of navigational interactivity. Each page/set/circle has the potential of two alternate futures and two alternate pasts. This makes the project live up to its name, or perhaps it's a pachinko game, Instead of a traditional comic book.

The Process:
This new project features a near-perfect circular work area that individual artists can divide up as they see fit. You might think of it as each artist having a circular “page” to work with.

Theme/Content: (Rules, rules, and MOAR rules)
The main characters of this project are Sam and Molly, the creators of this project. Basically, your submission needs to feature Sam or Molly or both as the main character, instead of either of them being awkwardly shoved in. The end result of this project needs to be a readable narrative, so be sure to maintain some degree of consistency with the plot/story/action of the set that occurs before/after yours.

Dimensions:
If it's done in the physical world (on paper with a pencil/pen/marker and coloring utensils), you need a circle that's roughly 8 inches in diameter scanned at any dpi (If you have a scanner). The circle doesn't have to be perfectly round, but be sure it fits in an 8“ x 8” square. Word balloons and stuff can poke outside the circle. Any negative space outside the circle needs to be black.

Reserving:
Most of the time, I will just assign artists a set, but if you have a specific idea and want to PRECEDE/FOLLOW a specific set or even create a time loop, just contact us at our profiles by commenting about the work you've done specifically for this project (the project you're in right now). We'll then set you up. You'll have to tell us which specific set (sets are referred to by your Scratch account (if you have one) and a two-number sequence like
“dcf02” ) or sets you to want to link to. If you're just waiting around to be assigned, let us know and I'll get you going on something.

There's MOAR!!:
What we have so far is a basis for a limited “choose your own adventure” style comic narrative. Okay, it gets weirder. Bridging. That is, creating a set/circle that both satisfies a FUTURE of one (or two) set(s) while satisfying a PAST of another (one or two) set(s). This process creates a “bridge” in the narrative. If we can get bridges built throughout the comic, then the story can loop forever!

Do you have what It takes?:
Do you want to be a Choose Your Adventure illustrator? We'll see about it! We're always looking for new talent. Please send US info as to where we can see some of your artwork. Send it to our profiles, if you know where to go.

Sincerely, dacreatif2

Aight

How do I spread this forum to others? Maybe post often and others will come.

This is a stupid move. Actively promoting it would do the job a bit more efficiently.

Also, you can reply to us. I'm alone. There are currently 66 sets in this project try to reach 100 by Easter 2022 and 125 by May!

I don't have the guts to tell **********, mollygrn and many others to go to this forum. (I stink! )

I'm so sick of no-one finding this thing! I gotta find someone apart from my crew who WILL find it and spread the word for everyone to know.

I shout out this to my profile for you! Hope word gets crossed.

Oh my, Everyone is in a pretty weird state of confusion. What am I doing wrong?

I don't wanna just “write a script”. If this is a collab, people need to know visually! Will it really be such a problem if we change the style of it even a bit in the littlest scene? I could even just have a cameo in it. Please raise hope for this! this will be much easier if we all get a fair say.

That's when the pages come in. They are visual queues (i.e. what you see on screen). Anyone can decide what happens next or what happens before a set page. Also, hope will be raised and anyone might all get a fair say in this project. Also, anyone can create sets in their own art style and can feature at least one little cameo in it, meaning there is no problem with it. Thanks for your concerns!

Now the project really lives up to its name! (kind of)

I added a section where there are artists that didn't respond to their invitation.
Artists include: @Comiccoder2019, @izzywill12 ( The biggest backer of this project), @Esercenima (a.k.a. Eser + one of the three owners of the project) , @DogsScratch13 @PaiGuen801530 @-L-o-v-e_ @flamingo_0028 @wangat @SavageGirlx_x @Ella2_-4 @thrn7 @7E28BVB
@cs5046060 and @McSwag05

It's now May, and its potential for it to become The Ultimatest of Ultimate Internet Crossovers Crossover (The Ultimate Meta-Crossover) is going to waste unless…

It's only the beginning of May! I just forgot to check up on here is all. Please, keep up hoping. And what's the comic even about? I don't really know what to do.

It depends on where you are on the comic. e.g. one page, you're a very famous musician, then next page, potato aliens abducted you. There is a big secret with several clues scattered throughout the comic.

There's a video dedicated to Gabby and Bill's Adventures (actually, it's the third and possibly the best one yet.)

News News News!:
Gabby and Bill's Choose Your Own Adventure starting points are no longer permanent (meaning there CAN be prologues of this story making the story slightly more open.)
