			<description><![CDATA[ Here's a few pages of our script for the Webcomic Alpha shade. It is writen in a stlye that is easy for the reader to read. It's in a flexable format because Our script is over 300 pages long. At that length you can't box yourself into page 30, panel 2, Bob looks at box. If you do there isn't any room to modify your story boards as you work on them. Very quickly you'd have to rescript.<br><br>This page 1/2 ended up being 12 pages drawn out in the comic.

			<description><![CDATA[ I wrote a few scripts for a webcomic I'm considering doing. I know the dialogue's a little awkward at points and it might turn toward the nonsensical at times, but I was wondering if I should draw these or rewrite them. Basically, it's supposed to be the story of a scientist (a little on the crazy side) landing in a strange new world he doesn't understand.

It's ridiculous how unfunny I am. It takes days sometimes for me to come up with one line worth keeping. <br><br>It's quite possible that I'm just not funny, by some curse of genetics and environment. But rather than face that depressingly likely possibility, I think I'd rather grasp at straws. Does anyone here have any tips on writing humor? I've... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'm splitting off part of Thunderkitties into a new comic called Up at Silvercats, which will be about Silvercat, Felino, Mya-chan, and Silvercat's pub.  But I can't think of a first strip.  I've got some where I'm explaining grammar and the other two think I'm nuts (ok, I AM nuts).<br><br>What I've thought of so far:<br>Felino: Uh, hey S'kat, the cat's lair disappeared.<br>Silvercat: That's right.

They very are simple comics like Elftor or White Ninja Comics (except some of them may be scanned and edited) and eventhough these small simple comics like those do not take up much room, I will not be able to afford a very large site. What are the pros and cons of acceptable MS Paint formats? ]]></description>

Who knows with these sorts of things.<br><br>Basically, the strip is another entry into the genre of &quot;serious-storyline-with jokes&quot; type of strip.

Do you just write as you go with a general idea of where the story should be taking you? <br><br>If you script it out, what format do you find most useful? Just dialog? Something akin to play or screenplay format? Or something else entirely? <br><br>Do you write the events that you want to... ]]></description>

I've actually started the comic, but it's just not something I'm particularly proud of, so I may be scrapping it and starting over. So here's the storyline I'm currently considering...it's already been through a couple of rewrites and I'm just not sure if it's a worthwhile story, so I'd appreciate any commentary that anyone has to offer.

I kept it vague, cause I didn't want to give anything away, but it seems nobody's interested.  I can hardly blame them, considering my other work.
