It's getting made.

I think JohnO is a good writer.

Sorry, no new news.

I strongly prefer writing film and TV scripts. I entered writing really backwards. I went to art school for undergrad. Studied animation and film. Fell in love with storyboarding. Worked in advertising. Hated it. Went to grad school to become a director or cinematographer (leaning towards the latter). Only to discover I liked writing scripts and jokes in my first writing class. I've always loved reading books and did some acting as a kid-- but my parents were visual artists and I (and they) kinda assumed that was where I would end up.

I worked as a video editor before getting to write for TV and that even further pushed me away from writing description.
Because of all of the above-- I prefer the more slimmed down style of screenplays (And I lean towards reading books with minimalist descriptions like Amy Hemple or Elmore Leonards).

'Cause when I'm writing descriptions, it feels kinda weird to not draw the stuff or thumbnail it-- and instead use words to describe it. It always feels kinda ugly and slow.

In my prose writing I really tend to try and minimise descriptions as much as possible. Comics are even weirder because every part of my storyboardist brain wants to go at it-- but I also know that would give the artist no-freedom and make the job tedious. (because I've been on the other side of the relationship with a writer over describing.)

shrug. It's weird.

No problem. I set aside time in my schedule today and tomo. (after that... its frankly when I'm waiting for a meeting. )

I think its a complicated question that hasn't come up yet. the question that immediately swirls in my head is what if the person hitting the trueice is an iceborn? Or an iceborn holding a piece of normal steel? What about cold iron? What about silver? What about... etc etc...? As I think I've said before I don't like lists I like simple rules which create a lot of variables but which can be felt. (not sure how that plays out).

elements are still influx for rito.

Crap!

Never trust a writer to edit his own work!

Yeah I have to say coming from a television background trying to fit a story into 20 to 25 pages of a comic book is really hard and involved a lot of learning, which my editor helped/pushed me through(thanks Ellie!). Personally would have liked to have spent more time (pages) on this story-- but comics normally have a pretty brisk pace compared to TV and manga. So I tried to respect that. Donno, I could go faster but it might be less emotional or I could go slower and the major plot points might take even longer to get too. (ugh!)

1) It's been nice honestly to finally, finally get some of this world building and character stuff in front of the players.

2) Sadly I can't share them. (that would be a spoiler!)

Yep, Ashe's connection to the bow has not be explained yet. Sorry.

1) This will be explore much, much later. (hopefully) When we are looking at Lissandra. Sorry no spoilers here!

2) There are female frost priests. We just haven't been in a place populated or important enough for one to be there.

3) An oath is an oath. Its about the culture you are raised in and your own convictions. Sejuani was willing to break the oath her mother was forced into because she didn't think it should count. This isn't a magical oath. This is your word, honor, and reputation. (now making an oath to a magical creature... that's a different beasty).

4) no spoilers.

5) Really, really hard. But depends on what you are hitting it with. True fire? Not to bad. True ice? yeah okay. Normal earth steel? Yipes. It might shatter the steel instead or both the steel and the ice-- but it would definitely freeze and shatter the weak hearthbound, normal-human hand that you were holding the steel sword with.) Demacian steel? wow good question... donno.

1) No update on Oathfather. Hoping the physical sales do well. That will probably determine the fate of a possible follow up. "Doing Okay" currently.

2) Vedmah is a role/ability. Existing across tribes and factions (and yes Lissy has many of them). It's like saying warrior. But in this case you mean an oracle or seer. The nature of their second sight an vary. Hopefully examined and seen in later stories.

3) Yes, hopefully in Oathfather.

4) No. Not to tribes which worship the old gods.

5) Keenly spotted. Notice how puny the piece of trueice is on Sejuani's and her mom's weapons. True ice is rare. The larger the piece of it the harder it is to control and the more it takes out of you.

6) Dark Ice is different from the True ice, and for the average Freljordians it is known to have better healing and regeneration powers. A person wielding it can even give warmbloods around him/her better stamina and strength-- closer to that an iceborn might have. (At this point I'm not going to answer, beyond what the common knowledge a typical Freljordian would have)

7) Valknu is very powerful. (BTW He was offering the services of one of his attendants. ) He probably wouldn't heal a broken or severed arm where anyone could see. But it is within his power, though that would really tax him and would have other costs.

8). Mind reading will probably be explored in Oathfather. Sejuani believes they are lying about this ability. Kalkia thinks they are telling the truth. This is different from dream-walking. Dreamwalking is how Lissandra's faith communicates. And why the messaging is sometimes difficult to understand or do.

9) If Sejuani's magical ability was stronger-- yes. Is it? Who can say...

10) (no answer)

11) (see #10)

Ultimately at this point, it's fate will be decided by sales of the physical release. (In may I think?)
It's done "okay" on universe. Obviously, the hope is people were waiting to binge when it was finished.

Yep, I believe those are all unintended (very confident most are, fairly confident the rest are). We're working on a range if issues at present, those affecting Zyra like that included.

Hey, thanks for this post. Good job being you!
