M'kay so I'm going to go through our
THINGS TO THINK ON list and basically doing a small writeup for each one which will then be posted up onto the front page for a day or two before we get into thinking about names.
So first on the list of things to do is (Besides the name logo and business plan, those are coming first because really what's the point of making a mock up publishing studio when legally you can't print. (I mean you can but if any of you really do get famous 5-10 years from now you're going to be screwed by the lack of legality now)
•writing and proofreading the script,
- This will be the jobs of the individual studio's of course. As this studio will just be in charge of the business side of things and most likely not officially print anything as it's own (PBS will be printing with Karoushi so our work will be under their name)
However don't think this isn't difficult, when it comes to writing a good script you're going to have to draft out a timeline as to what's going to happen in your story. The begining and end are good but it's all the middle that needs to be plotted out before you choose which chunk of it you'll be drawing and write a proper panneled script for it.
Even if you never thought to do that before I highly rccomend it. In the first draft of "Unoriginal" When I printed "Pandora" I only did a rough draft of what would happen and what people would say and everything was off. My next draft in "Unoriginal 1/2" was better because I wrote the actual story out. But not in comic form in story form which left my pacing to be a little wompy.
So keep this in mind it's harder then it looks.
When getting an editor get someone whom you don't know to do it. Sometimes friends will just look it over and gush at it because they're your friends. Don't take what they say personally and really work with them to get your work up to par.
In Unoriginal 1/2 we had a writer who really couldn't write and her stories were basically re-written by the Editors. Now she's improved and get's her Uni teachers to proofread her work before she even sends them in to our Editors, but imagine if she was stubborn about it?
((Sadly now due to the shutdown of PBS our Editors are all off doing their own things
crying ))
Well thats item one.
