#graphic novel script

[faerie-somnium]

Bodach Manor Ch. 2

P1: 3 AM Long shot starting from ceiling panning down to Lana laying wide awake in bed. Ominous noises like scratches, taps, howling winds.

P2: 6 AM Alarm blaring, Lana, clearly exhausted is still awake. Goes to turn alarm off. Quick panel of Ava

Ava: It’s a 30 minute drive to school and you will not cause my son to be late. I will drag you out of bed myself.

Lana traces her hand along the wall walking down the stairs. In the kitchen: Ava is doting on baby Thomas; Cain eating breakfast looking at his phone; Isaac making a sandwich. Ava looks up in distaste

Ava: I see you haven’t read over your rules properly. I expect you to not dress like a tramp in this household-

Cain: Ava dear, stop being a bitch. Don’t worry about her Lana, she’s just overprotective.

Ava: *tch. Isaac, this your new foster sister, Lana. Lana, my son Isaac. It will do you both good to depart now or you’ll be late.

Isaac roles his eyes, grabs keys. They both walk outside.

Isaac: I’m sure the hag has briefed you. I’ll be driving us to school everyday.

Driving. Isaac looking straight toward the road. Lana looking at Isaac from the corner of her eye. Tapping her fingers nervously.

Lana: Soo.. heh.. What’s your favorite color?

Isaac: roles eyes, Look, I’m not interested in chumming it up with another random foster kid so. turns up music.  

Lana makes a face. Turns to look out the window.

Book!Aziraphale wouldn't have made the same Choice™ that TV!Aziraphale did, but this is primarily because

a) Book!Heaven is an uncaring corporate entity and not a cult (or not nearly as much of a cult). They don't seem to micromanage and hover and press and insult nearly as much, and Aziraphale doesn't have the same attachments or obligations to them by the time Armageddidn't rolls around

and

b) Book!Aziraphale seems inclined to do only the bare minimum when it comes to performing his Heavenly Duties -- enough to Not Get Fired. Not a lot of company loyalty. He cares about humans and he cares about Crowley (whom he bonded with by talking about their respective celestial/occult customer service jobs), but Heaven is a corporate office and not home. Angel-ing is a job. He's got a healthier work-life balance and self-perspective.

Your Croissant Comics every day give me life, I love them sooo much and i dread the day they'll stop! <3

Thank you!! Me too :')

#I try not to think about when I finish the game and subsequently run out of story to illustrate :'))))))))) #It'll be nice to have room in my schedule for other projects again #but tbh I might do some post-game comics too (I've already scripted a handful of breadweave things that weren't in-game events) #I'm also considering collaborating with a friend who can write to make some sort of short fantasy graphic novel #I've been bitten by the sequential art bug lol #asks

Remembering the good ol’ days when I thought I’d be done writing the graphic novel when I finished the script. lol. Lmao

#the script was like draft 3 of 8 #this is why solo graphic novels take so long #this is also my first time writing and drawing a long term original project so i’m trying to be kind to myself

#this silly beasts thinks they can write a graphic novel script for nanowrimo ^^^^ #chitchat

[welcometogrouchland]

Had a class on transmedia and unfortunately I am now thinking about them again (my ocs...the enterprise of evil)

#ramblings of a lunatic #god i had good ideas and even the scripts re-reading them r still good and funny #they just needed streamlining and focus... #also i needed to shit or get off the pot in terms of medium #honestly? i think they'd work really well as comics/graphic novels (or webcomics but those aren't as popular today) #with like a website or something with some supplementary things to cover stuff like character backstories that don't fit/bloat the plot #oughh my meow meows. i miss them #it makes me sad that i never had a centralized notebook or word doc for all their lore bc so much has been lost to the sands of time- #-in just a few short years #not to mention my last ipad w/ 4-5 yrs of drawings (including the earliest enterprise ones) being nuked #at least i got an 81 on that assignment 😭

[feypocalypse-graphic-novel]

Writing this graphic novel has been wild because I've never written a script before and it's like... comic scripts have way more words than you'd think. The first draft of my first issue had 2,400 words!

(Also shout out to the comic script format on Scrivener for saving my ass)

kinda hilarious to me whenever big movie studios fuck up comic-to-screen adaptations. you literally had the storyboard right there in the pages of the book. the color palettes the frames the shots. what the fuck is wrong with you lmao.

#i also DO agree that some comics simply Cannot be adapted well to screen EVER esp with long-running comics bc the storylines cannot fit #into the timescale of a feature film. HOWEVER when studios manage to fuck up graphic novel adaptations which are SO self-contained #i am BEATING my head against the wall. everything was right there. hell you could've even pulled the script direct #from the comic pages if you really wanted. what the fuck is wrong with you? it was all right there ! #cricket.chatterbox

[alesuggestprompts]

How to know what story you want to tell: observe, steal, adapt

Part one: the plot

This is an unusual post because this time I won't give prompts.

Instead I'm going to show you a way you can identify what you want to narrate starting from who you are and what you like.

This can be applied for every kind of fictional story: novels, short stories, graphic novels, dramatic scripts and so much more. Be creative!

First: the art of discerning

Before we start this creative exercise, I have to underline that this post will be divided in two sections: the things you like and the ways you like.

Often we can like a story because we feel connected to the plot and the themes in it and other times we are more attached to it due to its way of narrating things.

It is important to know the differences between those two in order to have a clear idea of your self-made prompts.

When you feel like you've understood the difference, we can go on

The plot

What you like

Choose from 5 to 10 stories you really like and make sure that they are told through different medias (like, not only books or tv shows)

Don't take too much time thinking: grab a piece of paper and a pen and write down all the stories you feel connected to.

Tip: if you feel you have too much stories you like, think about the ones you'd really like to watch/read /listen to again.

Now, for every of them write down the reasons you like it. Don't take too much time thinking: every small reason that comes to your mind is worth adding.

Here are some examples:

Our flag means death

- historical setting seen with modern lens

- normalization of queer identities (amd lots of them)

- mix of humor and important themes

- centered around masculinity with feminist lens (and portrait of healthy masculinity)

- about mental health too

- unsual romcom

- amazing soundtrack

Or

To the lighthouse

- stream of consciousness

- 1900s UK

- awareness of human emotions and thoughts

- feminist themes

- subtle queer themes

.

When you're done, chose a blank space and divide it in two columns:

In one you write down the things you like

In the other you write the way you like

Example: "stream of consciousness" falls in "ways I like" while the "queer rep" goes under "things I like"

Side note: depending on the media you're going to use, some things aren't usable (like, if you're going to write, "amazing soundtrack" is useless) but make sure to write them on first place, they may give you some ideas on how to adapt them to your chosen media.

What you're looking for

Then, write down all the things you wanted to see more but (almost) never did. Challenge yourself to write as many as possible in a limited time (like, 5 minutes). It can be whatever comes to your mind, like "more neurodivergent characters" or "black and white comics when narrating a memory"

When your set time ends or when you feel like you're done, divide what you wrote in the previous two columns.

What you'd have changed

You could stop here, but if you want more:

Write down from 3 to 5 stories that disappointed you and try to point out in what way they did it.

For everyone find one or more thing that you'd have changed to make them better.

Example:

" 120 BPM"

I didn't like how it focused more on a single tragic story in the end -> I'd keep telling about the story of the group (it will be translated into "focused on story of a group of people")

Then write them down on your two columns.

Your personal prompts

Now, you have two long lists of things only your own person you'd have put together and you can make prompts out of it.

There are two ways you can do it:

Find a pattern:

you may find out you've repeatedly praised historical fiction and have wrote several times "queer rep" and you want to make a comic liking a more realistic style and mixing written paragraphs with drawing (and maybe found out you don't fancy vignettes so much), so you'll go for it.

Creatively mix things together:

you've written "stream of consciousness", " space ships " , "feminist themes" and "found family" and you want to make a story starting from those things.

Advanced tip: what to avoid

If you feel like, you can write down from 3 to 10 stories that everybody seems to like but you don't really fancy.

Then, for everyone you can list the reasons you don't like it.

You'll may find out that you like fantasy worlds but don't like do-it-all-magic or that you're bored of quick romances, and that's ok.

You can then make a list of things you may find pressure to add but don't want to, and feel free to not narrate in your own story.

Final advice:

You now have some prompts that came out form who you are and what you like. Experiment with them, have fun, try them out and don't be afraid of changing some things if you feel to.

This is your story (or stories) and the only way to measure its worth is to see if it makes you happy.

Go out and write, draw, record and plot and don't be afraid if it sounds too much "you" or too less common like.

This is about you and your creativity, and I'm pretty sure that out there there are people who can't wait to see your work.

I'm already rooting for you.

And if in your creative process you'll accidentally find yourself here again, you'll likely find the second part about creating characters from your own liking.
