Be in aLp

Edit: This contest is over.

How would you like to star in an official aLp episode?

I’m going to be making a bad pun in the script of an upcoming episode, and I’d like to follow it up with another "facepalm" reaction shot - a callback to the last panel of this recent episode in the storyline - and I want YOU to be the star of that shot.

It’s really easy, just take a quick photo of yourself reacting/groaning to a bad joke you just read on AlienLovesPredator.com! The only requirements are 1) it should be a "vertical" shot (turn your camera sideways), and 2) I need it by the end of Sunday, February 1 (edit: formerly January 25). It’s probably best if your computer screen is visible, to make it clear you’re reading something online, but you can try whatever you want. Feel free to submit as many shots as you want too!

Here’s some examples; I guess out of these I like the first one the best:

The winner(s!) will appear officially in the actual comic. Your photo will be judged by how clear you get across the expression of having just read a bad joke. If there’s more than one I like I’ll do my best to actually cycle among them, so that each time you refresh you’ll see a different one! Hopefully.

Choose one way (or more) to submit your photo(s):
- post it here, in this forum topic
- email it to me at bernie@alienlovespredator.com
- post it as a comment on the main blog entry
- post it as a “fan photo” on the aLp Facebook page

With your photo please include:
- an attachment or link to as hi-res a version of the shot as you have
- whether I can display your photo in other contexts outside of the comic (e.g. a submission gallery)
- if yes, if I can use your first name and last initial, or if you’d like to be unnamed
- this sentence: I grant you full ownership of this photo and permission to use it however you like.

Have fun and thanks…

Whose else could it have been?

And I'd say it's pretty much mandatory participation for everyone here.

Very Happy

Yeah, but I'm having trouble getting a good picture of myself...

I could take every panel of the alp comics and make a really huge face palm montage. But I'm way too lazy to.

CFOS IS A WINNER

He'll be (one of the stars) in the upcoming episode in question.

Aurelyn and Aramor could be, too, if they could send me new takes based on some nitpicks I sent to 'em.

Thanks for the submissions so far!

By deciding on winners I'm not cutting off the submissions. I'm just saying I already know they'll be among the eventual, multiple winners. The more the merrier!

Lay yours on me! Ipsa too.

Actually, I meant Aramor's Left -- your post must have gotten in ahead of me, ninja-style. Let me guess, your laptop-slap was after my last move, right? Gonna move the rook now?
