From P. 272, Feb. 18.tl;dr: Minna plots the story a good way ahead. She *doesn't* tailor it to fan comments.
Rosepieces Minna, I know a good number of webcomic artists and they tend to have a backlog, but much less continuing storylines. So anyway, my question is... How much of SSSS do you already have written?
minnasundberg Mod Depends on what you'd count as "written".
I've got pretty much the whole main plot outlined in my head, and the next couple of chapters plotted out more precisely.But as far as actual writing goes I mostly just have bullet lists of important plot points that I need to remember later on and misc scene ideas that I may or may not use at all. Sometimes I write proper scripts for a few pages at a time but I usually end up not even following those once I actually draw the pages, sooo... I'm not exactly exemplary.
Rosepieces Ah. Mostly I was curious if you kinda ad libbed the story much more than we could ever notice or if you have it set for the most part. Not many webcomics have as much story as yours do, and those that do focus on story tend to have a TON of filler.
lost norseman Do the forum [Ed.: or Disqus] comments ever influence the plot lines?
minnasundbergNaaw, the plot is pretty much going where it was supposed to go all along. I would become pretty confused and directionless if I tried to tailor the story to reader comments rather than follow my own vision. (I know that works for some webcomickers, but it's just not for me.)
