John at Down The Tubes alerts us to Fractal Friction, which he’s describing as an online collaborative storytelling venture, put together by a group of 2000 AD fans, including some contributors to the likes of FutureQuake’s 2000 AD fan comics Zarjaz and Dogbreath. The writer known only as ‘Emperor’ told DTT that it started from some idea swaps on the 2000 AD forums where a number of indy creators said they were interested in some sort of online collaborative comics project. Regarding the story Emperor described it to DTT: “The basic premise was: a young lad turns up for a job interview and ends up being catapulted right off the map. The first iteration of this idea, gave us the name “Fractal Friction,” although the story and reason for the name will remain a mystery for now, as there is a possibility we will delve into that further down the line.”

Thanks for the mention – its early days yet but the reception has been really good and we have had a number of great artists interested in the guest slots (which should start in a few weeks), so it is all very exciting.
