Re: [lojban] Re: Lojban Kids' Show/Comic

Well, if it's a graphic novel, my current favourite comics are the Powers series by Bendis and Oeming, and the Bleach manga by Tite Kubo. I'm not suggesting translating either of them by any means, I'm just suggesting things that could be used for inspiration.

Also, for anyone who's actually planning on working on this, I suggest reading "Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art" and "Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels
  ", both by Scott McCloud.

Also, I have a quick question: is the intent to produce a book or series of books, or is it to produce a serial comic? In other words, book or strip? The line between the two is actually really thin- MegaTokyo is a serially-produced series of comic books in which each of the pages is posted one at a time, and when the chapter is complete, the author finalizes the pages (inking, colouring, etc.) and publishes it in book form. I think doing this project in that way may be the best approach- it has the advantage of quick initial output time that comes with serially-produced comics, as well as the long-term advantages of books.

I happen to like the idea of this project, mainly because of the advantage visual media present- it's pretty easy for someone to figure out gerku menas dog if they see a picture of someone petting one whilst saying {coi gerku xu nelci ti}, for example.

We have a lot of lovely people right here on the forums who have given some decent suggestions. From what I understand, people seem to want a more intimate story line which develops the characters and forms an intimate relationship between the characters and reader. However, we still have to keep things simple at first in order to facilitate a larger number of newbie readers. I think shelving the kids show plot for now would be good, but in exchange I would like something slightly more... adult.

A murder mystery?

A scandal?

Post-fic?

Still takes place in the setting we're developing.

I would like the community to weigh in on this.

What sort of genre would you like to see?

(Ideas are brewing!)
