So, fun fact about Yuzu Candy is that it was actually fully plotted in 3 days by myself and my writing partner while on a business trip in the place part of the novel takes place in: Marbella, Spain.

Here's a picture from the trip:

What about you? Anything fun to share about the story: how you thought about it, a quirk you have when you write it, a fun reaction someone had to it?

Mine was planned from beginning to end over seven years. I know a lot of people who create webcomics often leave them incomplete, having apparently failed to plan their endings carefully, but I am different. I had the ending planned out from the very beginning, and it took another three years for me to write it down. This was in my university days before the pandemic, alas, ravaged my homeland.

Originally Nives was only supposed to be taller than the average person, but over the first few chapters, I kept increasing her height because I thought it was funny. She’s now 210 cm + 15-20 centimeters of hat/helmet. I also decreased the average size on non plot relevant characters to make her look even more imposing

Compared to Nives now:

That's a smart way to plan! It also helps you plant a lot of cool hints and plot loops related to the ending through the story. Share your link, I would love to give it a read.

My story is science fiction, but without aliens or robots. Rather, it is about human evolution using chemical drugs, and the danger of this evolution.

Fun fact about my two comics is that I never made a draft for them. I just make it up as it goes so long as established ground rules, and lore's are not crossed, and retconned.

I think you already subscribed to it but I could be wrong.

AliceTuinz 2025-07-12 20:52:16 UTC #8

I love that pannel, it's hillarious. I think it was the right call to increase the height, I love characters with specific, memorable features.

AliceTuinz 2025-07-12 20:52:53 UTC #9

Oh, yes I love it! Sorry, I didn't recognize you just from the user name, I'm terrible with names.

The first scene in Damsel in the Red Dress is based off of my own feelings after having just won a writing award a few months earlier

Fun Facts about each of my stories...

AngHell dela Blackpill... when my coworkers first discovered I make this, and they read it... I was given dumbfounded looks.

"Huh? Blackpill? You?!? " also wondering if Jeff is a self insert...

when I'm one of the most go getter guys at my job and you won't last a day doing my job if you're self defeatist and give up easily. Try welding and sandblasting (the one where you're suited up like a space marine not the blasting cabinet) when it's 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). 10 hour shift...

MAG-ISA
- was originally meant to be a short story with none of the super soldier stuff...

Morphed to this... lol

Brood Knight
- was originally an oh my goddess fanfic. Had an insane crush on Belldandy at the time but decided to create an OC based on her... hence, Claudita was "born". She didn't totally end up like Belldandy. More like a mix of Hinata (Naruto), Dita (Vandread), and Kenshin.

See... she does battoujutsu . Maybe Kenshin got isekaid to the future and got with Dita... and she's their love child... lol

A fun fact for my novel was that it was a merge of six different stories I had in mind, but I tried joining and merging all their worlds together as an experiment Suprisingly, it didn't turn out that bad!

Fun Fact;
The character designs of Guevarra's Nirvana are made in the video game The Sims 4

Genre: Supernatural-horror, Drama, Thriller

Guevarra Academy, a renowned fine arts high-school in the Philippines. It is known for being run by the descendants of the legendary artist from the 1850's, Leon Guevarra. Though rumors spread about the academy, such as corruption by the principal or even students reportedly going missing. None can be proven, and so the academy continues to thrive.

The upcoming school year is about to be attended by the principal’s twin children- Megan and Melvin Guevarra. And soon, the truth of those rumors shall slowly come to light.

Fun fact: my story is based on real people and real events in my life, but with a weird and skewed twist ^^

A fun fact about my story:

I wrote an original song for my novel- it hasn't been incorporated into the story yet, but it will be really soon!

Congratulations on the writing award! Was that the boost of confidence it sounds like?

AliceTuinz 2025-07-13 07:33:53 UTC #17

Hahaha, were they seeing some of you in the characters? I just love it when friends or family read my work and always get it wrong on their assumption of what character is based off me/ who I would identify with most.

That sounds like a character building job, if you can do that, I bet you feel like you can conquer most physical challaneges.

That's a fine blend there.

AliceTuinz 2025-07-13 07:36:05 UTC #18

Takes a lot of mind juggling to mix different stories together and make them work, that's awesome!

AliceTuinz 2025-07-13 07:38:48 UTC #19

That's a super inspired way to visualize your characters. I remembered I used to try to make my characters in Sims but once I had an image in my head of them I couldn't quite get it right ( plus, Sims has come a long way in terms of graphics and customization)

kyupol 2025-07-13 08:09:14 UTC #20

The funny thing is, ADB has no self-inserts. Only thing me and Jeff have in common is we're both Filipino. Doesn't even look like my caricature lol
