A comic for SERP?

Hey guys, I recently had an idea that seemed very cool to me: How about we make a fan comic of adventures here on SERP? I feel like it would be a creative, fun project that everyone could participate in, and if we put the comic somewhere where it can get popularity, people might come to check us out!

If we do this, I was thinking of starting the comic off with a sort of pilot project, it would just be some of the most awesome threads that were made on the site, but after that, we could get into an actual plot. The plot doesn't necessarily have to actually affect anyone, it could just a side AU thing. I have an idea for a plot and a name of the comic, and also I have an opinion on what type of art style we could use, however, these are merely suggestions, and everyone would have a say so.

So, what about it, guys?

Since no one responded, I'll just suggest the plot idea.


Title idea: Soul Eater: Tempore crusade.

Main antagonist: Sampson C. (Chrono) Kairós, aka "The time master".

Plot: It'll surround a magic tool that was supposedly lost long ago, a tool that had the ability to allow the user to bend  and control time around them. This mysterious tool was discovered by a very ambitious man named Sampson, who has two goals: Get revenge on those who had hurt him, trying to spread his views, and taking down the one who he thinks is wrongly in power. There are many more things that will tie into this, because as you know, there's more that meets the eye. And there's a prophecy that there would be a group of chosen ones that would destroy time itself. Who are these chosen ones? Join to find out.

Sweet. Sounds like it could be a good read. If theres any way i can help then let me now through pm. k?

You could help by signing up your character, I was thinking that it would be more like an audition sort of sight up, some people enter there characters to try out for a main's protagonist spot, a secondary (but still important) character slot, special one time appearance character slot, and filler character slot, I'd explain more in a poll sort of thread.

Well, if you want to make a character specifically for the comic, maybe have a small bio here?

Well, the form you write it in depends on how much detail you're planning to put into this support character, however, knowing who this character would support (weither it's one person or a group) and why would be great details to know as well.


Also, anyone have any suggestions or opinions about the plot?

Hmmmmmm the plot is depending on what you are looking for in the story. Is the person with the Tool for or aganist the DWMA. Who are their friends and who are their foes? What are these idea's this person what's to spend? These are the questions that need to be asked before a story can be formed.

I would explain more on what his views are, and his friends and foes would be gained throughout the comic, and Hatter, since it's soul eater, the main antagonist is against the academy in some shape or form, even if they aren't directly attacking the academy.

And doc, I sorta dropped the Electi guild, and I don't think it would be such a good idea to have them in the comic, however, I could possibly see your organization in the comic. :3

I figured as much in the fact that they would be against the academy but I thought I would ask anyway. Also, I think it would be a good idea to try and figure out the charcters you want becasue the plot forms as much around them as it does around everything less. That being said a overarching plot is something that you can have without charcters and I believe you already have that in the from of your idea. A lost deamon weapon being discovered and a new power arising to challenge the powers of the world (The DWMA) is a great overarching plot than can be refined and redirected by the ideologies, personalities and histories of the charcters that your forcus on in the story.

We can't start looking for characters until we know for sure that the comic is actually happening, plus there was a specific way that I think the character auditions should work.

If we do the comic, not only do we need characters, we need a person or people who will be willing to help draw this comic, a place to possibly share the comic besides the site, and enough people who will actually participate. It's supposed to be a group project in a way, but we can't just slap the first characters we can get into the comic, it has to be those who actually fit the plot.

I agree with all of that and I will emit I am a little in the wrong. I misread and thought we were trying to still come up with a plot but I reread the thread and understand now. What do you have in mind for the character auditions and will you be doing them for Characters who fight for the DWMA and Charaters who fight for Sampson?

As much as I am motivated, I am fairly clogged and adding movement and that kind of stuff is still something I find difficult. I might look some more into this if there is really nobody volunteering for doing the artwork.

The Organization would make a good enemy group for the plot. They have almost as much influence in the world as the DWMA.

That's nice, Yume.

And we could probably incorporate the Organization and Sampson as antagonists, they could possibly tied together somehow, I was going to work on Sampson's history at one point if this goes underway, it wouldn't hurt.

Curse my double posting-ness, but did everyone forget about this?

kinda, It has been a while Vix.

How much do you guys love me? Cause I'm pretty bored lately~<3

EDIT: Also, what about a joint Deviantart account to share it?

*could potentially do designs for characters, if needed*

Thanks guys! A DeviantArt account for the comic sounds nice! But we need more people to participate with their characters as well. (I could post a few examples of an art style I thought up as well)

Post away, I'll try to mimic it~

Just hit me up when there's at least a semi-defined list of characters.
