Title: How am I doing?
Post by: Saburo_X on September 27, 2014, 12:12:16 AM
Hi everyone.
Another one of my BE Story Club comics, The Adventures of Superstar, came out recently, and since I've got over half a dozen of them now I thought it'd be best if I checked in and saw what the reception o it and my past stuff has been. I've got a couple other stories in the pipeline in various stages of completion, but before I send them off, I thought I'd better make sure I was still on the right track.

I know I've got my own preferences and they're sure to not be everyone's cup of tea, and I'm sure there's room for improvement, but I need others to tell me where it is. So, are there an settings or plot and framing devices I should keep doing? Some character types I should avoid? What do you want to see more of, and what do you want to see less of?

Generally, you are my favorite author on the BE story club. Your characters are always fun and your stories always have a sort of whimsy that make them more enjoyable than the standard BE fare. I say keep it up!

I think your stories are great. I was a little bit disappointed that Tara's Story illustrator did not do your story justice. I would love if you made sure Navarro illustrates another Tara story where her booby greed is so overwhelming she can only live, barely, in a dirigible hangar. I've downloaded all your stories and enjoyed them immensely. I liked your Lucky Lady a lot but Welcome to Chastity and its sequel stories the best. So how are you doing ? Great !  :)

I agree about Tara's Story. The storyline itself was enjoyable, but the illustrations just didn't keep up. It didn't help that Tara's size was VERY inconsistently illustrated from page to page / panel to panel.

For my tastes, you are doing the best comics on the site.  Great characters, great sizes, original plots that move along at a good pace, and best of all, humor.  I agree about the unfortunate art with the Chastity spin-off, I would hope that your scripts continue to be paired with the best art.

Your stories are great and i would like see more of them, especially from chasity storyline. Maybe from Tara and her love for even bigger breats...

I just downloaded The Adventures of Superstar and my only complaint is that it ended just as it was getting good. Who's the girl that just stole Superstar's powers, not to mention her boobs. We didn't even get a decent angle on superstar in the last panel so it's hard to be sure her boobs are actually gone. I REALLY want to see what happens next. How will Superstar (try to?) get her boobs back(oh yeah, and her superpowers, too) from the thief that stole them? HOW were they stolen? I really want to find out what happens next

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement.

To answer some questions:

When writing scripts for the BESC I go in knowing that each chapter is going to be ten pages. With that in mind, it's a tendency of my writing style to end things on cliffhangers in order to keep the reader coming back for more, and something they encourage as well. The Adventures of Superstar, like The Lucky Lady before it, are examples of this.  Having said that, I try not to send off anything unless it's got a conclusion in the works so that you guys won't be left hanging indefinitely, and I'm also thinking about how I can do more episodic short stories to balance that out.

As far as Welcome to Chastity and Tales From Chastity: Tara's Story go, I really enjoyed writing that setting. However, I'm not sure how I'd go about revisiting that since between the two protagonists I think I've covered all the bases, and I don't know what would be something I could pitch to them that would both get made and not be a retread. As far as the art for Tara's Story goes, that was probably at least partially my fault for not being more clear in how I scripted things. I don't have control over which artist gets picked to do my scripts, and it's not fair to demand one either, so think that I were to write that story again I'd have structured and worded a couple things differently to make my ideas transition from script to finished product a little better.

So, would you guys rather I stay the course? I notice I tend to do a lot of magical based BE comics, and I'm starting to go pretty heavy on the first person narration as well. Are those things I need to change up, or should I do that more? Are there any character types or story ideas I should give precedence, or any I should avoid?

Perhaps you can make a story about Japanese girls set in Japan.

I don't currently have any plans for that setting, but I wouldn't rule anything out yet.

Unfortunately I'm not privy to release dates or any information like that, so I'm looking forward and waiting just like you are.
