The reason I didn't reveal what X is is that it completely changes the way at which the audience views the story, meaning I should probably reveal it two chapters in; the speculation has been quite eye revealing as to what I should change. I thought about saying what X is; but I think I know enough …
My immediate issue is that I have no idea how to make my story's key plot device obvious, nor how to make it a mystery. Basically, I need to show that each time X happens, the current timeline is left behind and the new one causes the characters to not know the things that were just shown. I'm not r…
Why Webcomics? I've been wanting to share some kind of story for a really long time now, but something's been holding me back; the uncertainty that what I want to tell might be better in another format, such as a book or a short film, a movie even, possibly a game. What differentiates these differen…
So, the notes I've gathered so far: Disclaimers and Nonprofit, while they can help to dissuade legal issues, have no bearing on whether or not a fanmade story can be taken down or not. Transformative fanfiction is within the safe zone, mostly (more on that) if only because it's not using the source …
Right into it, then. I've seen some fan-series here and there, Pokemon, Megaman, a couple others. We've all heard the term 'fanfiction' before, usually wherein characters take a different route or original characters are inserted into the midst of unexplored options in story branching. To simplify, …
Dear god, I hope I don't have to post here again, it's kinda embarrassing how many times I've written without having even started. If you've read from me before, you know what I'm talking about. Today, I'll be asking about Motive, Psychology, and some other miscellaneous things. Because it's my most…
"You're not trying." More like I can't think of anything! It's very frustrating to hear that when no progress is made. I've been told, that starting, and not really thinking, is the way to go. Mistakes are meant to be made, yes- I understand that, but what is the point of a story that has no meaning…
Sketching a random character is a lot like working at a bar. You don't know who you'll be serving until they walk in, and you'll likely know little to nothing about them. Maybe they like martinis, shaken, or possibly stirred. They could like scotch, whisky, wine, sake, who knows? What's important is…
I've figured out what I'm going to be doing, or at least my options. 1. Retelling the Dot Hack series in it's entirety 2. Retelling most of the Dot Hack series 3. An informational but sped up telling of the Dot Hack series (i.e. generalizations/Thing -> Thing -> Catastrophic thing -> Thing) The fi…
Hm... Okay, so basically, this is all supposed to be based off of the real deal- Read more here > Coldbird Forums To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what to do for making a webcomic for Fragment. Fragment is noncanon to the rest of the .hack series, old (2003?), and pretty much lacking in stor…
Okay, so, cats out of the bag...! I'm planning on a webcomic based on .hack//fragment. Not only do I mean to publicize a currently online, well and active game, but also to make pretty awesome stuff nonetheless. A quick rundown; The game itself is a community led project (revival team) for an MMO …
I'm still not sure how to start things like this... Okay, so- If you've ever heard of Asperger's Syndrome, this should sound familiar- Empathy disability, Lack of eye contact, Challenges with Nonverbal Communication, Inability to understand emotional or social issues. Most of these things are proble…
most underrated comment in a long time
After a year and some months about agonizing over my failure to write anything, I've realized that I don't know what I'm doing. Not in the common sense that I don't understand what a story is, or how to build one, but... I create settings for stories. Creating a story within those settings is not so…
Okay, so you know when you've got a very big grouping of ideas that sort of work together but there are so many that you need to cut something off so it's not A: Overwhelming for you and your readers, B: all over the place. It wouldn't be fun to read, but it might be a lot of fun to write that sort …
Okay. Time to make a post on a conclusion/continuation of thoughts/responses. @sarrowsmith10 Those are some pretty solid plot points, right in there. However, there are no dragons. (MWAHAHAHAH.) okay maybe if I change my mind on the setting, maybe. Assuming I get that far. @Michelle Studied? Yes, bu…
I'm bad at writing. I don't just say that because my work makes me cringe, but because I've never gotten a single story publicized. All I have is imagination and creativity, so when I think up a new idea for a story, I put myself in a rut. Every time I come up with a great idea, it rots, stews, and …
This is something that's been puzzling me for roughly 13 minutes, although probably several years with me forgetting afterward. I don't know about you guys, but I find creativity to be the ability to think up new things. And, in one of my really few and far between zen moments, I once thought "Origi…
Shaky hands/arms are good for backgrounds. Take Bob Ross's advice.
Ughhh. Okay, so... This intro doesn't work. Not only are there too many blank/confusing parts, the motives don't really work. Which means I either need to redo the intro, or add/remove something. so now i'm gonna list some options i have and hope that i get some feedback -Splitting the group up into…
Kinda gives me a vague pirates of the caribbean feel from just this. ...pretty good!
@MissMagicGirl Wow, I've seen you just about everywhere! I'm impressed with your dedication to these forums. A lot of these are some really neat examples, and I'm not sure which method works better. Me drawing out the actions, and then doing a personality around it, or extensive writing first. Ho…
As most people (should?) know, characters are seen as people just like you and me who grow and develop, and not an excuse to pop in a few lines that are funny or interesting. I mean, yes, you can do that on the side, but think about your character first. Which brings me to the question, how did your…
Quick question about timing. So, I realize that a large amount of my story is... Grim. How do people usually decide to time their comic relief, and when to get serious again? As an example, I'm planning a scene where Joule loses a bet and has to wear a maid outfit. Where does that fit in the story? …
Baah! Progress is something that I can't lie, will be difficult to do. But, I didn't lie when I said I would try not to show the same scenarios multiple times; in partial to that problem. It's a hard case of "Storyline Bullshit" because I'm saying that memory is impossible to remove. On the other…
Phfoooooof. @joannekwan Okay, so, yes, multiple resets- at least 5, but not very quickly. Things will slow down a lot after the intro- an example of a "Worst" case scenario (but it's not, bwahahaha?) I do have a few vague endings in thought; but nothing I'm really confident in making concrete. @Mic…
Three does not work. I don't exactly understand emotions, but I do know that it'd be hard to work with the only people around being suspicious either one is a murderer. With three people, tensions get high, and murder happens faster than it should. Using myself is a bad example, but if I were innoce…
Whew, okay, long post No.2! Alright, so- the where part seems to be killing me a little; So I need to figure out the setting. I was hoping for a vaguely large place, like an abandoned skyscraper- that way I could fit in multiple facilities without the need to worry about running out of things to dra…
I've been working on a story for roughly a year now, and recently just lost everything I've worked on in a google drive related accident. My art sucks, due to a lack of a scanner, and a lack of experience with digital art. My story itself is probably alright, but all I'm really good for is making so…
Now, I'm likely not the only one who's inept at emotions, but I've got a serious case of unfeeling. Most people know what it means when someone is being 'condescending' but for the most part can't act it out. I for one, can't really. Sure, I can write what these characters are like and why, but I ca…
