I've instead started one of my stories in the format of their single image Member's giveaway rewards. This allows for a lot more story-work with a single image taken more as a snapshot of the moment of the theme.
If they could offer guidelines on what they want a submitted story to look like, maybe I could offer something to be used.

I would be happy to give you guidelines on what we want in our comics. Feel free to email me -
qzar@interwebcomics.com - or shoot me a private message here.

I know, shrinking hasnt the biggest fanbase but it would be a shame if it wasn't even enough for a monthly comic.

There are other comics from other sister sites that might have SW appeal which could tie of fans if they need more time, but right now I'm finding it all a little sus.

I will address all of these at once, starting with the big one:
We will always, ALWAYS be posting at least one comic per month until and unless we tell you otherwise. It would be unfair to suddenly reduce our release schedule without informing our subscribers.
The only reason there isn't a Dec 1 preview yet is because we were trying to decide which of the ready comics are going to be that release. It should appear soon.
The gallery does indeed consist entirely of user submissions - and no, we're not running low on entries. The job of reviewing and approving winners, assigning them to artists, reviewing and approving that artwork, putting it all together, and uploading it to the galleries of *all seven of our sites* is all the work of one guy, and so if he hits a bottleneck at any stage of that process, it can cause a noticeable delay in the gallery section.
We do have pieces in the works, and we will be updating the gallery. I just don't have an exact timetable.
If anyone has any further questions, please feel free to reply. I'll give you what information I can.
