<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen of the Doujin world, it is I Kxela here, back from a one year absence of not posting on this blog. However, I have been attending and applying for Comiket every chance I got within that year- learning valuable info on how to Apply for Comic Market Online. I took this chance to apply for the Next Summer Comiket (Comic Market 82, Summer 2012) to make a Tutorial on how to apply for Comiket through their online procedures!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let Us begin!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are Two Physical things you need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>1. The Comic Market Circle Application Package</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(refer to previous post to see that it looks like)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>2. A Circle account on Circle.ms</b> (free to sign up)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The couple other things you must have to complete the registration:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>- A valid mailing address IN JAPAN </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(no they will not accept foreign addresses)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>-A Credit Card</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Diners Club International, American Express are accepted)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Basically with all of those you shouldn't have a Problem applying online.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ready? Here we go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First make sure you are logged into your Circle.ms account.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then click the following tab: Event Application</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you complete that scroll down Until you see the button options for Comic Market:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Comic Market is コミックマーケット</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Click the top one for a normal Circle table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Click the second one if you happen to want a double combination circle table</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Two application packets are required for this I believe. Don't do it if you don't know what you're doing)</div>

NEXT is the comiket questionaire. It's mostly questions about your experience attending the previous comiket. This is nothing serious, just a survey. If you didn't attend last Comiket don't worry and just leave this area blank:</div>

One of the final steps for application is uploading your circle cut. Your circle cut is the small image that appears in the Comic Market Catalog. It can be anything but it's best if its a character or something that represents what you are selling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The top upload form is for the Circle cut. Choose your file and upload here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you need a template to create your circle cut, there is a link to it- the first blue link on the page links to a template you can use.</div>

The Second one is your manga report. Its basically a little image showing your expression of what you thought of at the last comiket. You see these towards the end of the catalog where people express stuff like "it was so crowded" or "it was super hot/cold" or "the lines were crazy" stuff like that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That completes your application. If there is anything you'd like to change, you are able to edit most of the details by going back into the event history (the tab at the top on the right next to "event application") and choosing the Comiket you applied for.</div>

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.<strike> I plan to do a second "How to Comiket 2" Soon</strike>!<br />

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've gotten tired of answering each and everyone so I am writing this and forwarding all such notes to this journal. yeah.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you dont know what Comiket is, here- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comiket</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
so anyways-</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
the "HOW TO APPLY AND GET INTO COMIC MARKET AS A CIRCLE" JOURNAL begins now-*</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
*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*</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>FIRST AND FOREMOST, the ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENTS-</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2) The Comiket Application Packet</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3) A lot of will and energy to fill out a ton of stuff. and that's about it. OK!-</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, whut first?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Looks like this:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(This is Comiket 80's cause I don't know where my 77 one went)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Where do I get this Package?-</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Simple- AT COMIKET. There is a booth, along the wall, near one of the entrances to the halls obviously looking like an information desk. There you can obtain this package for 1000yen, or ten bucks.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay, maybe not SO simple since you actually have to GO to comiket in order to obtain it. That, or you can have someone else attending comiket get it for you. But with all respect- I recommend going to Comiket at least once as a attendee before trying to attend as a circle participant. You will understand that Comiket is a literal FLOOD of people, and that every anime reference to comiket is NO JOKE. It'll save you from shedding tears, trust me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Can I get it anywhere else?-</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
...Not that I know of. I read somewhere you can get summer Comiket's application by ordering it online, but I don't know where. Sry. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ANYWAYS- WITHOUT THIS, YOU CAN'T BE IN COMIKET PERIOD. SO GET IT.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">2a. Filling the darn thing out</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
K, so let's say you got the application packet at Summer Comiket this year, yayyyy</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First- DEADLINE- <b><i>(these deadlines are approx. and change slightly yearly)</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
************************************************************************************</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I came back from Day three of Comiket 76, August 16th 2009, I read my little packet and it read this:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
DEADLINE: AUGUST 19th</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hey, that's my birthday! and it was fricking THREE DAYS AFTER COMIKET!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
...I filled that application real quick and sent it by express mail.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But I guess that's a warning, Application for Winter Comiket after Summer Comiket is pretty quick. SO make sure you fill it out in time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, After Comiket 77, Which ended on January 1st, The Packet Read:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
DEADLINE: February 5th</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So that gave me a good months time, although I sent it early anyways</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
BY THE WAY, the packet lists TWO deadlines, the latter one is for Online Registration which I will...or errr, will not get to...you'll see.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
**************************************************************************************</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>BACK TO FILLING OUT THE THING-</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay well, to put things simply- The application consists of Three papers LABELED-</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
ABC, D, E, and a little optional F thing, and The Envelope to send them in labeled G.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I shall go over them one by one</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>-<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: orange;">1.ABC</span></b>- If you think applying for comiket is free, guess again. This white receipt looking Paper labeled ABC is your REGISTRATION FEE PAPER.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Looks like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Registering for Comiket costs 7500yen, or approx 80 dollars. This paper requires your name, circle name, address, and phone number. The address must be in Japan, or so I've heard. Sucks, as this is very foreigner unfriendly. However there are people who have applied successfully, most likely using a friends address or something. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Paying this, requires going to the bank or post office in Japan. Yes, you don't send check or money order, you pay at the bank/post office and the paper work gets the cash to Comiket. A very foreign concept it was to me, but that's the way it is. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Upon paying it, part of the receipt, Part C (the right most part), is then glued to paper D. Which is sent to Comiket. I'll go on to that now.</div>

It requires a good amount of information- Name, Circle Name, Address, Phone Numbers, Genre Code (for which section of comiket you want to be part of), Application number (which is printed out on paper ABC), Information on previous applications, Pen Names, and The titles of books you'll be selling, the prices and the amount of books to be sold.</div>

. But on the Right side is a box for you to draw your "Circle Cut" AKA your "Ad." A circle cut is an image that will be placed into the Comiket Catalog once you are accepted in. If represents what kind of stuff you are selling. So what character you draw is rather vital, since they catagorize you accordingly. At Comiket 77 I was part of the Touhou Section, I drew Reimu here:</div>

It will appear on the next catalog. again, most likely not required.</div>

You might ask yourself "what the heck are all these sticker things for???"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During the application process, you actually don't use these. Hence, these are the labels you need to put on your doujinshi or whatever you make AFTER actually MAKING IT IN. You put these on one copy and hand it over to the staff as registration. You only need to do these for items that have never been released at comiket. If it your first, then all of your books and stuff need this. So keep this safe.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, as you wait (knowing you should be working on your comiket product), A postcard will arrive in the mail at the address you provided three months before the event. Most of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Looks...well, a little better than this:</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
...fittingly this soaked and beat up postcard was also my message of my first failure- not making it into comiket. HOWEVER- recieving this postcard does not equal BAD. It is your literal LOTTERY TICKET. It contains your registration number which you can enter at Circle.ms, and see if you luckily made it in, or lucked out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
IF....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With a stroke of bad luck, I never received this postcard my first time. I ended up needing to contact comiket by sending the "misdelivery" paper that came with the application package.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That paper, you should save- looks like this:</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, anyways, this postcard provides you with your registration number. It's also a sign that they received you application safely. That's Good.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">4. THE LOTTERY.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
AS you might already know, Comiket is limited to 35000 circles. Yes you read right, 35000 circles, approx. 10,000 circles a day. And for sure you know, there are more than 35000 circle applicants. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So they use a lottery system to decided who gets in. So you might or might not get in.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But anyways- Two months prior to the event, circle.ms opens up its checking system. You can use you're Registration number from the postcard to check if you got in. As mentioned above.</div>

Well, to simply explain- I went through a mess to find out if I made it or not, then found out I made it but never got the accepted package; so I had to fill out a mis-delivery form, then wait a week, and then finally get the news that I finally got the package to participate in comiket. That was in November. The rest of that month I spent working on my books. I chose the Touhou Category, since I'm into Touhou and its like one of the biggest genres of comiket. <br />
<br />
I made one Doujinshi and one Illustration book. My Brother made a Doujinshi. I also sold my Nightmares Cure book.<br />
<br />
For a more indepth look at how things went see my regular blog: <a href="http://kxela.blogspot.com/search/label/Comiket">http://kxela.blogspot.com/search/label/Comiket</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Well, it wasn't official, but that week I had my first Circle Revolution group.<br />
Me and Arima-Shiro from Spain shared the table (even though she had one book), I asked a few people if they were able to come to comiket and if they want to join my table.<br />
I was able to meet these people:<br />
<br />
-Arima-Shiro (<a href="http://arima-shiro.deviantart.com/">arima-shiro.deviantart.com</a>)<br />
-Marina-Tsunamia (<a href="http://marinatsunamia.deviantart.com/">marinatsunamia.deviantart.com</a>)<br />
-Kurot (<a href="http://kurot.deviantart.com/">kurot.deviantart.com</a>)<br />
<br />
I came to the conclusion that, because I've been through so many artist alleys in the US, I've pretty much learned how to fill my table up to the max. Sharing my table was a bit tricky, though I had planned it in advanced. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I entered as circle name "Kxela" lol. A Indy circle that lets people come in and out at random times I guess. But for what I had, It pretty much took up the whole table.<br />
<br />
So in the future, I want to set up THIS group as "Circle Revolution" apart from my own circle "Kxela".... Of course that group name is still pending, as I dont have much of a group yet. HOWEVER! you get the gist of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
...Because The deadline for comiket 78 is coming, I need to apply soon. Doesn't seem like I have a tangible group to make a circle for this project, so I'll be applying as myself again.<br />
<br />
The trick here is- What category to sign up as?<br />
Comiket is a convention that allows parody comics and original comics. We ran into the problem where my stuff was Touhou and Arina's book was Hetalia. Of course being in the Touhou section people there were looking for Touhou. As a result the Hetalia book didnt get much attention.<br />
<br />
<br />
...So see here, there's quite a bit to think about just entering comiket.<br />
Since peoples interests differ its hard to gather a group and say "yay were at comiket"<br />
<br />
So when there's enough people, there needs to be a decision- original? or a group aimed at some catagory?<br />
<br />
Circle Revolution isnt really ONE group we need to make, rather it should be a group to help each other aim for their goals. Meaning? Well whether you are just one person by yourself wanting to participate in Comiket or other cons, OR if you are already a group and need help getting to steps to applying to comiket, this should be the place to reach those goals.<br />
<br />
<br />
I think though, from the people that seemed interested, that it wouldn't be so hard to put together an all original group since from what I gather most of the people like to make their own comics (thumbs up)<br />
<br />
Anyways. Yeah. I'm pretty much here blabbering to myself, I'm gonna add a comment box for the site, give your thoughts and comments freely :D <br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

<br />
Anyways...<br />
<br />
Comiket Circle Entry Results soon.<br />
I applied for comiket this summer for Comic Market 77.<br />
Probably the biggest step in helping this group out if I manage to get in this time. With experience of not only attending comiket but being a circle in it, I will have the knowledge on the process of applying, entering, and actually becoming comiket (...weird way to put it)<br />
<br />
I also want this to get the people of this group into marketing themselves as Doujin/Indy Artists, although many have already done so by posting their own stuff online and going to conventions and that sorta stuff. <br />
<br />
More ahead. Until then!<br />
<br />
