Description Attempting is the key word. I really do want to continue Accidental Elemental. I do. I don't know why it's so difficult, honestly.

Though in truth it's not only Accidental that's been neglected lately... my inspiration as a whole feels like it's been fighting for life for quite some time now. I can only theorize as to why... right now I think it's a combination of feeling like I'm not allowed to do the things I care about because they don't bring in an income, and worrying over just HOW I'm going to get said income, if not by the things I care about. I hate how making a buck is the only thing that matters in this world anymore. -_- Where's Jerra . I'm going to find her and have a good long co-rant with her about how living in a money-obsessed world sucks.

Anyway, have a Parch-doodle. Let's see if it can actually make me resume Accidental. Sigh... IGNITE, inspiration, IGNITE!!

Look, ylur comic is one of my fvorites, and I personally, see potential in it, both by the plot s for the character and the amazing art!

I think most people in DeviantArt are either stupid, or maybe they do like me, who simply looks at the art, faves it, and usually don't comments. Well, in cse of comics, like yours I usually fave only a single art of yours that will lead me back to your account and gallerry, and there, I can read the comic all over again ^^

Your comic shows a lot of promise, and I think it would be a waste if it stopped.

D'aww

But seriously though. I dunno why, but currently I find it flat out impossible to make an actual story for my OC's. Creating fantasy stuff isn't that difficult for me --- anything inspire me. I just can't seem to find a way to "write" my OCs' story together, the same way I used to when I was a li child.

Thanks "man". I'm not about to shoot a buck, though.

Back in the day, I though of that too... that making one story would help my others flourish. But it didn't quite work out that way... Accidental got plenty of attention but soon enough I found that was all people wanted from me. Not quite what I envisioned...

It makes me happy to know that you, at least, like my stories in general. Thanks for the encouragement, too... I want to continue not only this but other projects which have been stuck and/or grinding painfully forward. I can't wait until my inspiration returns.

(Also don't worry, I've seen WAAAY bigger comments than that. )

Thanks. I personally don't want to wait any more, though. I know that sounds weird coming from the person actually in charge of making the thing, but still. I feel like it's being withheld from me, as well, in the sense that the inspiration just isn't coming, no matter how much I want it to. Hopefully that changes soon.

Oh I know exactly how you feel 'XD Cept my inspiration died cause I didn't want to just be known for being a fanfic writer. If I'm going to work on something, then be it worthwhile, something I can show for myself in the later years,Β not for a game series that ended almost a decade ago, that I could never truly claim my own.Β I'm probably not helping, but that is how I personally felt 'XD
Accidental Elemental is different enough from Spyro that you could easily detach it to be it's own original story. That's what I'd do Then you'd have a story that was your own, and can show as your own. Even could probably get it published and sell itΒ as an actual comic and not have to worry about selling something that isn't yours. So THERE'S a way you could make money in this and keep kindle for your inspiration 83

But of course, it is your choice I'm sure the Spyro fans would appreciate it staying a Spyro story and you just did this story for fun, and if you don't decide to continue then it's completely understandable. I think Spyro has seriously faded out to be honest, and more and more people have lost interest in it recently, so so many of them are stopping their comics/stories. So don't worry, it happens to the best of us Β 'XD

Changing Accidental to a NOT-Spyro story is an interesting idea... I'd have to modify so much though. Not to mention sacrifice a few things... I had the story all mapped out and half of the fun is putting my own spin on the LoS world. I'd also have to start it all over. I'll keep it in mind though. It could be a fresh new start and I know I've done that before... taken a fan-story and converted it to something entirely original. I once had a story surrounding Cynder that I turned into something that was nothing to do with Cynder or even dragons, and I think it's way better now. Who knows, maybe Accidental would be better, too.

Oh, here's an idea. Maybe I could make a non-Spyro reboot of Accidental as the comic, and then share the rest of the original story in text so that people still know where it WAS going, and the Spyro fans aren't totally left hanging? Hmmm...

Anyway, thanks for your encouragement and suggestions. Does that mean you're not going to continue Zirra's story? Or make her into something not-Spyro?

Oh that's right! You drew the Dragon Temple, huh? I almost forgot 'XD Yea you're right, there would have to be a lot of changes and redraws. Guh, I hate editing old pages. Aint got time for the past, gotta keep rolling through the future XD But I think you have something there, having two versions, one that fits in Spyro, and one that fits in original. I actually REALLY like the idea of it being original. It's not a dragon story I've heard of nor typically heard of. A dragon living in a society where it's taboo to breath fire. THAT is new and interesting 83 And it's fleshed out and easily understandable to really get into right up front. Most dragon books I read take forever to get interesting...or even make sense 'XDΒ But you really did well with giving them personalities and setting up the plot up front and easy.

Ah...well I don't WANT to cancel ZR, it's just I don't really want to do it anymore either >_> I mean, I cant stop thinking that if IΒ WERE to finish it one day, what would I have gained after all the years of work? Not but a hearty thumbs up, that's what. So I've been asking myself what is and isn't worth it nowadays... I dunno, I think I'm going through some weird crisis 'XD I'm also kind of attempting that inspiration reignition as well 'XD We mustΒ attempt together! XD

Ohey! I remember talking to you about that "Let it Go" song for Parch XD I seriously still think you should post it somewhere 83 That was the most dang creative song lyrics I've everΒ read

SekoiyaStoryteller In reply to Seeraphine [2016-03-21 17:51:55 +0000 UTC]

I feel really quite conflicted right now... I like the idea of making an original story out of Accidental but I ALSO like the idea of continuing it as-is. I'll need to think long and hard about this, I can tell...

And I understand that feeling totally. I will not blame you if you don't keep up Zirra's story, but I have gotten a bit fond of her so I can't pretend I wouldn't be at least a little sad to see her go. I saw you make an alternate version of Frillisean (did I spell that right?) the other day, who fits in Fiora's world, I think? Maybe you could do the same with Zirra? I mean, I believe Adalisks are entirely your brainchild, right? They mightn't HAVE to live in Spyro's world? I dunno, just rambling... your babies, your choice.

Haha, I WAS going to draw a picture for that Parch-Let-It-Go. I just never got around to it... I probably still will, eventually...

Whatever you choose, you've already won me over as a reader ^_^ I trust your storytelling

Ooooh I won't give up completely I'll get back to TLOS Zirra eventually. Just don't really know when at the moment....oh and I have made an alternate version of Zirra as well that's in the Fiora verse, and let me tell you, I've had the most fun writing her than I ever had with TLOS Zirra XD It's crazy! It just be that "it's all yours" feel...

You must do eeet! *shakes fist* Or at least post the lyrics, I friggin loved those XD
