User blog:Tsubori/RWB fan manga: The Art of War


 * So, when saying the idea for the Fanon Manga, this happened. Hilarity ensued.
 * PerhapsTheOtherOne So.....you ever heard of FORUM?
 * 1:50 Tsubori Nope
 * 1:50 PerhapsTheOtherOne Well......we we're doing this first
 * 1:51 Tsubori Err..... Okay? They're entirely different content matters.
 * 1:52 PerhapsTheOtherOne Same basic concept. Get a bunch of people on a project together, write an original story, and produce a manga comic for it. FORUM was first for this particular case
 * 1:52 Tsubori ....Okay?
 * This is pretty much me, Arren, and the artist we got.
 * Plus the Fanon has much mroe established characters, if I may be frank.
 * 1:53 PerhapsTheOtherOne We even have our own Wiki to store our information
 * 1:53 Tsubori Several characters on the fanon have drawn RWBY staff attention
 * 1:53 PerhapsTheOtherOne Plus, we discuss details every thursday on live chat.
 * We're building an all-expansive story from the ground-up, completely original, but in the context of fanon
 * 1:54 Tsubori As are we, though we discuss it daily
 * Plus I do have over ten years of writing experience.
 * How big's your writing team?
 * 1:55 PerhapsTheOtherOne We don't have the luxury of available funding, and we're doing this simply out of love of RWBY. All of our non-artist members help write it
 * 1:56 Tsubori Which is how many writers? And we're certainly doing it out of love for the show too. Why else would I own a site dedicated to creation within it?
 * 1:57 PerhapsTheOtherOne We started on the RWBY Forums, hence the name, created an interconnected web of characters and stories, we abide by the rules of canon, AND ours. We're small, about 8 or so members, but we're diligent
 * 1:57 Tsubori 8? Jeez >.> That.... may have issues at some points.
 * 1:57 PerhapsTheOtherOne We aim to make our stories fit perfectly in canon, whilst being completely separate. We all have our own lives, but we make do
 * 1:58 Tsubori Oh same. But more writers means more ideas, and more creative differences.
 * http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131119032731/rwbyfanon/images/5/59/DAMN1.jpg
 * There's an example of the art.
 * 2:00 PerhapsTheOtherOne We aim for the skies of Red vs Blue. Artists aren't easy to come by, since we have no means for financial support, but we've still made do
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:00 Tsubori DO you have any pages done yet?
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:01 PerhapsTheOtherOne Slow and steady wins the race. We need to get everything ready before embarking on the great journey
 * We're a rag-tag team of fans, and we work with what we have. We wanna make sure all the roots are there to work with, being a series to have humour, drama, action, character development, and plot revelations
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:04 Tsubori Welp, its your whole team's slightly varied writing and character development against mine. I'm a game development student, and have been writing like this for twelve years, as well as taking two years in film classes, and film/media study. Best of luck to you.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:05 PerhapsTheOtherOne Thanks. Be sure to check us out. Amateurs have beaten the odds before, and so will we. FORUM will forever be a unique product, and will always be a part of my life
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:05 Tsubori Technically we're amateurs too.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:05 PerhapsTheOtherOne Yes, but you guys have undertaken having the specific skills and resources at hand, no matter the method of attainment
 * We literally have almost nothing to work with besides the canon itself, and its going to be like that for the course of FORUM
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:06 Tsubori Err yes. Experience tends to help.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:07 PerhapsTheOtherOne This a project purely of love. A tribute to great series that never really seemed to have a chance despite their unrecognition
 * But we'll beat the odds. Since you will inevitably be finished before us, perhaps you may join us
 * But don't expect the rules of the fanon to hold any credence if you do join us.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:09 Tsubori Join? By that you mean...?
 * Yeah no.
 * My writing style is likely too complex to fit into your story.
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:10 PerhapsTheOtherOne Very well. But don't try counting us out just yet. We may not have the experience or knowledge, but we persevere unlike any other
 * I must leave, but do remember that just because you appear to have the advantage doesn't mean you will prevail over us
 * <span class="time" style="color:rgb(106,106,106);float:right;font-size:12px;">2:11 Tsubori And sometimes Tenacity only delays the inevitable. Several green warriors on a battlefield fall before the more experience, coordinated soldiers.
