What are some magazines that pay if they publish your work?

There are very few magazines for teens that pay for your work, sorry! It's better for the exposure, is all.

Aw poor Chapel. I hate it when I repeatedly lose games, but to the same person? She must be mighty frustrated...
7/8/12 responder
Yeah, Chapel must be driven up the wall by Fred! My family's super competitive about games, so I hate losing as well -- but I've never lost to the same person so many times, at different games!

7/8/12 responder
Oh, you do as well? It's a great game!

Oh, I had a feeling.. Poor Chapel seems to never win a board game!!
7/7/12 responder
Actually now I think about it, I never win a board game!!
7/7/12 responder
You're just like Chapel then! That's a shame though...
7/9/12 responder
I'm SO happy you like the new layout, I worked really hard on it! And Chapel really needs a break doesn't she? She NEVER wins!

ANNNNnnnd Fred wins again. here is an important lession from me to you chapel. Practice! Practice! Practice! if you are to win at a game, you have to play it inside and out till you know it. noobs to a game are just not likely to win until they get some time in on it.
7/7/12 responder
Oh, but then there is that weird thing called "beginner's luck". . . so common an anomaly that is has a well known name.
blaidd gwael 7/7/12 responder
poor chapel seems to be devoid of such a thing as "beginner's luck" when Fred is around.
7/7/12 responder
Chapel does practice though, and it's obvious she thinks through things really well...I think Fred is just too experienced for her!
7/9/12 responder
 
Do you have any recommendations for where to send stories illustrations poems etc? I know about Stone Soup, but are there any other magazines?
7/7/12 responder
Sure, here are some options: Creative Kids, Skipping Stones, Cicada, New Moon Girls, and Teen Ink! All of these are great magazines worth checking out!

My friend said that you were having a "who can draw chapel the best contest". WHEN DOES IT START????
7/6/12 responder
I haven't really decided yet, nor have I officially announced it! People were just interested in the idea...
7/6/12 responder
Oh cool! That's a great idea!!
7/7/12 responder
 
Oh, and for those who missed it, I posted a special July 4 doodle yesterday! Please click the "back" button beneath today's strip to see it!
7/6/12 responder
 
Ugh! Chapel just HAS to win a game against Fred at some point!
7/6/12 responder
I think that'll be when the Apocalypse happens...
7/6/12 responder
If that is so, then why are there 4 scary guys on horses heading to your place carrying a chess set? O_o

I'm glad you like it! Yeah, Chapel's imaginations can get really melodramatic, right?
7/6/12 responder
Yeah it really can.
7/7/12 responder
I wonder if chapel can be that melodramatic outside her imagination as well? if so, she could have a shot at being a stage actor in plays.

As a writer let me give a kinda creepy tip...
Cemeteries. Visit cemeteries, specifically old ones. Most of my characters are named after and based on tidbits of information I've gotten from graves. The most interesting are gravestones for whole families. Name everyone on your fictional character's family after the first names on that stone then use a second name from the stone to the left, right, or opposite row! If writing historical fiction try and find someone from that era's grave to get the name right. If that fails use a name from the bible, John, James, Paul, David, Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth, Rachel, Esther... ect. These names were very common throughout the last 400 years.

Funny thing about that list of James you gave. . . My Dad's name is in that list and my first name is followed by my last in that list.
7/6/12 responder
Hm auto correct is not being friendly. HoPefully everyone can figure out that by James I meant names.
7/6/12 responder
Ah, okay! We all understand autocorrect issues :)
7/6/12 responder
That's a strange coincidence!
7/6/12 responder
That's an interesting observation!
