Hello Everyone! We're We Got Jams!
"We Got Jams?" Yes, our name is We Got Jams! Because we got a special kind of jam. Peace Jams! Which brings us to our topic now. There are two admins for We Got Jams. We are collaborating to make a comic that promotes peace, love, equality, and anything that spreads a positive message. (Kinda like how you spread jam on bread. The jam being peace and the bread being the world!) So, Peace Jams!
This comic will be open for anyone to submit their positive message! The people who submit comics will be credited of course.
Admin Noglastiaa came up with the idea because she felt that it needed to be done. Last year was full of such bad and horrible events and 2016 should not be left in such a shadow, but rather a clean slate. She talked with Admin Chibi and they both decided to make this project happen. This is where the comic comes into play!

Things to include with your submission:
- A description that you wish to include at the bottom of your comic
- A link to a song you may want to play with the comic
- Your name and a link to your profile (you can ask to be anonymous)
These are optional, so if you don’t want to include any of these, please tell us in the message you send!
SOME GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW
NSFW; if it is crucial to the story you are trying to tell, it will be accepted.
However, we will not accept comics that include nudity, cuss words, or comics that insult, degrade, or purposefully attack any living being.
If a comic has a more serious theme, it will be tagged as NSFW and will be given a trigger warning banner.
Helping each other through hard times by sharing your own stories is welcome. Sometimes people need to know they are not alone and things do get better
For example, if the comic shows a person who self harmed, but in the end they were able to move on. We accept those themes as long as it has a happy ending/moral.
Different opinions and views are welcome. Hatred is not. Rude comments are not.
Not everyone will have the same opinions and we understand that. But that does not mean we have to be mean. Everyone's opinion matters but you should be able to show it in a kind and educated manner!
Keep in mind that all submissions will be reviewed before they are posted on the comic. Be warned that any comics breaking these guidelines will be rejected and the artist may be asked to fix it. (We'd really rather not do that so please follow all the guidelines! :D)
=========================================
Here are some ideas/examples of what you can include in your comic
- A comic about your favorite inspirational quote
- A comic that has your favorite uplifting song lyrics
- Or maybe even a simple comic just telling others to smile because they are beautiful
- The comic can also be specific to a cause such as:: LGBTQ positive, anti-misogyny or family oriented messages.
- It could just be something kind and positive that generally appeals to the masses such as being a better person or taking care of the environment.
The bottom line is, the comic is what YOU want to spread to others! So artists are free in choosing what kind of message they want to spread to others! (As long as it follows the guidelines, of course)
*If you do decide to make a comic that uses other people's words (quotes, song lyrics, poetry, etc.) please be sure to include where you got it from in your description.
Ex: “The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.” This quote is by Rumi.*
=========================================
EVERYONE (offsite or onsite) is welcome to join in on spreading the message of peace and happiness!
If you're interested in participating, please let us know.
Also if you've got any ideas or suggestions to make this project a success, we're more than happy to hear them!
Peace Jams will launch on February 1st, so there's a month of early submissions open for anyone!
And with that LET'S SPREAD OUR JAMS!
