I am amazed by the work of DREAM.'s mangakas, and I'd like to apply to join...however, I have a slight problem. I'm going away to study overseas for the upcoming school semester, and I'm going to a third world country so I won't have much (if any!) computer access.

Could I apply to join, even if I'm going to have to miss some issues? I really want to be a part of DREAM. but I can't avoid this trip. Can I still apply?

@O@ well is not like in a "third world country" people live in trees or whatever American movies like to depict those countries. Every country no matter how small it is has a good and rich city which has nothing to envy from "1st world cities", even in Africa.
Anyway where are you going? O.o? I'm from Peru (living in US) and I know there computers are lot cheaper than in US, the only thing that is expensive is the internet access. I even took over there one of the computers I wasn't using in US and had it running over there hahaha x3 I had to pay like 40 dollars at Customs =/

Well, I think I will have internet access, I'm just not sure if I'll have a scanner...I'm going to Jamaica, my college is sending a group of us to do volunteer work at schools there. I'm really looking forward to it but I don't think I can bring all my computer equipment with me

=o I see. I will recommend you to just work in your page sketches, so once you come back with I don't know, like 30 pages, you will just ink them/scan/tone them when you get back =p and take pictures too x3, when I went overseas I started to take pictures of streets, parks anything that will be good to use as background for my manga in the future. If you get some streets pictures maybe we could do some background pictures exchange

Yes, you can apply, and tell us when you will start your submission. You don't have to submit something immediately after you are accepted. Like if you are going away for one semester, you can always start after you come back =D (January??)

Jamaica is 3rd world?

That's what my college's travel adviser says...I've never thought of it as a 3rd world-type country though. :\ I mean, there's internet and stuff, it's just a bit harder to get at than in Europe or North America.
