That's the grammar/spelling mistakes. Other than that I think you've covered everything. *shrug* You may want to write a little tidbit about a disclaimer, "you don't win any material prizes for completion of CoDraMo".

CoDraMo Rules « Result #10 on Dec 28, 2006, 1:23pm »
Well, I hope you enjoyed reading the regular board rules because now we get into the nitty-gritty if CoDraMo.
~~~
History of CoDraMo
~~~
Comic Drawing Month, which has been shortened to CoDraMo, was created on November 15th 2006. I decided since I’d failed at National Novel Writing Month NaMoWriMo that I would draw a comic in a month. This challenge is a lot simpler because it's essentially only one chapter. Draw a 31 page comic, plus a full color cover, in 31 days.
CoDraMo was originally set for December of 2006, but members of the Pandect Forums suggested it be moved because December was busy with people finishing Finals and drawing for Secret Santa. CoDraMo was shifted to the next month to accommodate more people, so now CoDraMo will become an annual event. Every January the challenge stays the same. 31 pages, 31 days. Ring in the New Year with a comic.
~~~
The Rules
The rules are simple. Draw a sequential or gag comic lasting either 31 pages [sequential] or 31 strips [gag] comics.
Every page must have the same level of completion. You can't leave pages as body frames to be completed. They can be finished pencil sketches with features and details ex. or cleaned inks ex. Shaded, computer colored, computer inked whichever level of completion you can accomplish. Lettering should either be legible or typed.
Size equivalence is 8.5in x 11in, or 2550px x 3300px if done on computer. Resize to a reasonable and readable size.
The cover is the ONLY thing that HAS to be Full Color. It can be colored in any fashion, just in color.
31 pages/strips is the MININUM not the MAXIMUM. If you feel your story needs to exceed the limit, that’s alright. If it’s not done by the time you reach 31 pages and the end of January, feel free to finish it at your leisure and post the conclusion. Just have all your pages up by then.
You can draw sequel comics in following CoDraMos as you like.
~~~
The story HAS to be an original story. Preferably just for CoDraMo.
NO pages can be completed for THIS comic before CoDraMo.
NO panels can pre-sketched. But you CAN draw character sheets and practice your characters in poses but nothing specifically for the comic. It’s understandable that standing and sitting can be drawn but so many times differently. Page drafting is NOT allowed until January 1st.
Scripting is allowed to get a comfort level with your story, you are allowed to script for as long as you desire before CoDraMo. Writing your story out in prose is also allowed.
All art page work can’t start until 12:00am January 1st LOCAL TIME. All work must be done by 11:59 pm January 31st LOCAL TIME. This is an honor system.
Pages can be uploaded from any time in January when you’re finished with them, and until February XX.
As these are your comics, feel free to do with them what you please. You can use them to start a webcomic, or whatever. It’s your choice!^^
When CoDraMo’s all said and done, feel free to spread the word to get it out to more people. There is no prize other than your completed comic. But unlike NaNoWriMo where it can be a bunch of garbage, it is preferred that the final story makes sense and is salient ^^
~~~
When posting your comic, please put them into the correct genre. If they cover more than one of the listed, pick the genre that covers most of the story, or one of them in general. In the first post for the comic you CAN say it fits more than one genre.
Also, in the first post, place a warning as necessary for the comic. Even if it’s under Action, if there is ‘graphic violence’ please put a bold warning.
The Genres that I have come up with are as follows:
Action/Adventure: Fighting, action and adventure Comedy: Funny and Gag, out for laugh, putt hat comic here Drama and Romance: Comics about love and romance go here Fan Comics: doujin, fan comics, put it here Fantasy and Magic: magical doo-dads and dragons, wizard or just people who are not entirely human can go here. Gag: Stand alone, page a day types. Gamer: D&D, video games, comic that would appeal to that crown go here Horror and Macabre: out to scare horrify or even just plain disgust try putting your comic here. Mature: SEXSEXSEX! If your comic doesn’t focus on much else, here’s its home. Real Life: If it’s dull, there’s no magic or powers. Just a slice of life comic, put it here. Science Fiction: Giant Robots and technology that twists tongues into knots stick it here Other: If your comic somehow doesn’t fit in anything else, put it here.
There are descriptions for each board so please use your best judgment to put your comic into the correct genre.
