T.O.S. Zero ISSUE #1
Dan Ali - AuthorWhat? someone actually came to this section?Well as long as you're here, I may as well talk about the writing ups and down leading into the first issue of zero saga. Just one little thing I'd like to do before I start, I would like to apologize to the poor artist of tapestry of swords Dan Ali(handsome bastard), All of these rewrites forced him to keep redrawing everything(get over it slacker!). 'Ahem' Okay with that out of the way, the first T.O.S. zero saga was written 2yrs ago. I had not really ever written anything professionally and really struggled with what type of story I was going to tell about this samurai-ish character in this insane D&D-ish future-ish world. I just knew that I really wanted to present all of these ideas I was coming up with. Sadly my inexperience showed in the first incarnation of zero saga and it ended up very deep storywise but lacking in action. So After taking time away from writing to work on other aspects of tapestry. Many months later I came back and wrote tapestry incarnation two. The problem with the second version was that it had the action but didn't flow smoothly with the overall larger storylines that come along later in the series(writing is harder than I thought!). Finally, I took another hiatus and when I returned again, I wrote the current tapestry story. This saga is a bit more balanced than the previous versions and sets the stage niceley for the rest of the tapestry storylines that will come along in the regular series. But be warned, tapestry zero starts off slowly but really gets legs as it goes, look for issues 1-2 to set the stage and issues 3-5 to steal the show. I hope you all enjoy the saga, it was learning experience for me writing it through all it's stages. follow me for a few issues, you'll like it, I promise(my fingers are crossed). |
