New title, "The Comprehensive Guide of How to get into Comiket as a Circle 1"

otherwise known as "How to Comiket 1"

This How to Get into Comic Market post was originally on my Deviant art Journal but I see it appropriate to have it posted here as well. I plan to do a second "How to Comiket 2" Soon!

If you'd like to know how to apply online, Guide #2 is up:

Well, since I've successfully got myself into comiket, I've had a buttload of notes sent to me asking how they can participate in comiket as well.

I've gotten tired of answering each and everyone so I am writing this and forwarding all such notes to this journal. yeah.

If you dont know what Comiket is, here- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comiket

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so anyways-

the "HOW TO APPLY AND GET INTO COMIC MARKET AS A CIRCLE" JOURNAL begins now-*

*I will use some Japanese here so make sure you have Japanese encoding set if you don't want to see a bunch of squares*

FIRST AND FOREMOST, the ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENTS-

1) An address in Japan. I made off with my relatives address so, you don't really have to live there. It's just a location to send you stuff. However, they won't accept foreign addresses- so if you don't live here best bet is to find someone willing to let you use their address. Make some friends.

2) The Comiket Application Packet

3) A lot of will and energy to fill out a ton of stuff. and that's about it. OK!-

So, whut first?

Long name, but to make it short- it's a little booklet containing all the paper work needed to apply for Comiket. AKA- The Application Package.

Looks like this:
