@wolf of sorrow:

Thank you! I dunno about talent though! XD

Sounds fun!! Just give it a whirl, ya never know how it'll turn out! x3 I understand about dialogue. Everytime I wrtie dialogue, it comes out sounding unnatural. TT You can do it though! Ya got talent! :)

@moonlit dream:

I mentioned Klan because I did write a short story thing of him, but it was so bad I never posted it...I want to write a story about him, but I'm afraid of it ending as bad as the first story 'cause he's a very hard character to describe...'orz

Hrmm, thank you very much for the advice on dialogue. I think anything would be better than what I do...for me it's like 'Uhh, nobody's talked to each other yet, let's add this in and tell the information in this way'...I never though about how it would 'look'...Hrmm...I'll keep that in mind next time I write dialogue. You've helped me more than the experts~! :D

KLAN STORY, GOGOGO. >:D From what you've told about Klan, there seems to be a lot of interesting stuff going on with him.

But anyway, let me start from the beginning of the post. Thanks for linking my story! Haha. xD It's interesting that you write Idolling like a novel before turning it into a comic! When I tried to write that rock band story as part of A Life Like this, I had a hard time with it... but I guess that's the opposite, comic to story instead of story to comic. xD I think the way you're doing it will make Idolling more dramatic and cinematic. :D If that makes sense? Idk.

Sorry about the dialogue, again... ;m; I hate to use myself as an example, but when I do dialogue I first have a general idea of where a conversation should go in my head... like with the dialogue between Will and Gabe in that short story, I envisioned it like this: first they introduce, then some talk goes on so that they get comfortable with each other, then Will makes a careless remark about Gabe, then Gabe starts ranting about Dave. Then I start filling in the actual lines of dialogue from there. Since I know what I'm working toward, it's easier.
It's like... you kind of have to imagine you're having a conversation with yourself. xD; Kind of like what you're saying. You pretend you're the first character and you say something, then you pretend you're the other character and figure out how they would take it and how they respond. But at the same time, I try to visualize the dialogue like a movie, and see how it "looks" when the characters say the words I wrote down. If it looks weird, then I change stuff.
Okay, enough talking about that because I'm no expert. That's just how I do things. >3>

Your "first part of your life's work" sounds like it's going to be pretty great when it's done! Stories that don't stick too specifically to their genre is usually a good sign. :D OVERLAPPING! It's a good thing! And you really didn't spoil anything, haha. xD YOU JUST MADE US ALL INTERESTED....
;m;

Anyway, if you do start posting stories, I look forward to reading them! :DDDD Good luck!

ALSO, sorry for the long comment AAAAGH. "orz
