maderrI've waited so long to finish Harry Potter, and right now I really just don't care. Everyone keeps talking about it, I've got people threatening to defriend if spoilers are posted w/out cut...and I can only feel the same dread for the book that I do for most of Stephen Kings, in that Rowling has a taste for killing characters, and I know the body count is going to be high....and I would like something fluffy or fun, not depressing.
Ah, well.
My dad is mailng it to me, so I probably wont' read it for awhile, as I told him just to send it whenever.
I really want to read something, but nothing appeals >_o At this point, I'd probably just have to write it first, and that sort of kills the reading to relax, doesn't it? Boo hiss.

the possible categories are: comedy, horror, fantasy, romance, sci-fi, action, drama, and mystery
i think it's better to have a story that can fit in 2-3 of those categories like romance/fantasy/action. :P

Re: manga
Date: 2007-07-20 12:10 am (UTC)I've been racking my brain all day for something that would fit twenty pages ^^;;; I'm sure I'll come up with something.
Never have done anything like this, so I don't know what would be best. I would hazard it'd be best to let you fit the dialogue to the panels.
I'm not sure I could not write romance ^^;; Fantasy is my forte, or so I like to think >_> ; I could try action.
Anything upon which I should focus my thoughts? Dragons? Faeries? Something more dwtd-ish?

so fantasy and romance are a go, and as far as action goes, i think it's important to incorporate, but only in the sense that there should be at least one panel with a dramatic slap/punch/motion scene....hehe which i suppose doesn't really make it an action-based story, but i think you know what i mean.
on a side note, i got my hands on a japanese copy of crimson spell last month and went absolutely fangirl crazy!!! it's jam packed full of yaoi goodness (way more so than viewfinder)! it was amazing! XD! .....still haven't completely figured out what's going on though b/c i can't read japanese :'( but the images keep me more than distracted ;)
mmm oh! another thing is, the story should be good, but not so good that their terms of agreement would kill you. i don't think it's as bad as their full manga contract, but basically what it says is that they get first dibs if we want to create a full manga and that they have a right to kill us if we talk to any other publishers about making a full manga before they've gotten a chance to brainwash us into signing a full contract ^_^
