Current Mood:  sleepy
Small vaguely informational section :)
Q: When will be the next update?
A: Probably in two weeks when Winter Break officially starts aka Schools Out Forever. At least, until I go back to get some Master's Degree or whatever. Graduating College with a B.A. in Sociology of Law, Crime, and Deviance (aka criminology. Help me find a job).
Q: And does Vaux have a crush on Drake?
A: Probably. Vaux thinks Drake is a good man and he doesn't like seeing good people suffer. So he feels a bit protective.
Forgetful says: "A friend and I were talking about how Jonas always loses. We think Cory should force him to play strip poker."
I say: Whoa! What a hilarious idea! XD I don't think it'll appear in the comic at this moment but I would love to see someone write fanfiction based on this idea (hint).

On Conceptual Ideas:
Looking back at my early Clipped Wings concepts is very embarrassing. The comic idea came to me at the end of High School, and I've actually found my original notes that recorded my thought process. "Something that can be a safe haven and a cage...the Gilded Inn? Ick. Think up. Manga/story about a mysterious hotel that is never in the sameplace twice. Big place? With semi-permanent servants. It appears to a traveler in need at any moment, opening its ironbrass gates to welcome them in."
Notes are also filled with hilarity in the form of Moody Grouchy Cory who smoked and started off looking too much like Schuldich for my tastes. Obviously his personality went through the recycling bin many times! In the end, Cory in essence kind of split into two separate characters when things were finalized - the current incarnation with Lovable Cheerful Cory, and then the character of Vaux Swift who was more like the original Cory prototype. I had added Vaux as an afterthought (notice you don't see him in the first chapter of Clipped Wings, nor does he have a character color). It was a wild card - I didn't have a set plan for Vaux so I decided to just let his character evolve with the plot, but then he elbowed his way into the front and I ended up liking him a lot. *laughs* Funny how things work out. |
