also, about the charity thing, how would that work? would people pay to read our project?
I can collect all of our pages together into a book, and publish it as a comic. And we'd sell the book online. And then all the proceeds from that would be donated.
Is it okay if I make my pages viewable on DeviantArt? I don't have the links, but there is documented proof that webcomics sell better than unknown works only available for pay, besides the fact mine will mostly only be teasers for the rest of the story.
Also, about this template:

Does any ink print in the margin area? If I want the edges of my panels to remain exactly as I paint them, do they have to be another margin in from the margin area? (EDIT: I reread the template with my full sleep meter and it made sense this time.) I just frankly don't know anything about printing a comic, so, if you have any knowledge to share, please do. Or are we even printing this, vs. going for a kindle-esque publishing route? Also, if you're planning to print, where exactly will you sell these?
Also also, if we find our comic actually has a moral/theme (which it should, frankly, to be an effective story), is it alright if we vote on a different, directly-applicable charity to which our proceeds could go? Is there a specific reason you want to support The Random Act?
Yes, you can put teaser pages on DeviantArt. I'd wait a little bit, until just when we have the book ready to publish, so then you could post the pages, and immediately be able to link them to the book.
I use Ka-Blam. They'll be printed as a physical book - like a graphic novel, in black and white (unless we decide color). But we can do kindle as well, if you'd like

Mostly sell them online, and possibly conventions. I can hit up the local place and see if they'll carry it, because some local places are willing to do that sort of thing - especially so if it's for charity.
I want to go with Random Acts for a few different reasons.
First, because it's not run by a corperation, it's run by this guy called Misha Collins. And when Misha was a kid, his family was homeless, and there was this gentleman who saw them and took them out to eat, and he was so astounded by the kindness, that some guy they didn't even know would do that, that it stuck with him. And that's why he started the charity. To spread that sort of kindness.
The way it works, is that any person can contact them, put forth a plan (like, this is what needs help, this is why, this is how much we need) and then Random Acts funds their plan. A friend and I found out about a small population of people living in the storm drains beneath Las Vegas and put together a plan to help them - give them sleeping bags, flashlights, etc - and Random Acts funded us, so we could purchase the supplies we needed.
There's also a project they're doing right now, where there is this American ex-Military guy who lost his legs in Afghanistan, and hurt his arms, and his wife is disabled, and they're living in his dad's refurbished garage with their two kids. And Random Acts is secretly building and furnishing them a house.
So yeh. It's a good, really good, organization.
