      Welcome!   03/05/2016

      Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change.  If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away.  I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

    PFFT.  oh wow... you're certainly optimistic.

    they need to practice and rehearse the lines if they want to do the job well, and you need to account for possible equipment problems, schedule problems, certain scenes possibly needing multiple VA's recording together, and multiple retakes in the event of missed lines pronounciation errors or other issues.

    I think half an hour isn't too bad, per strip. I mean, it's not like you'd sit down and do one strip in a go. You'd lay out your lines for several weeks of comics. Practice them as a sequence for a while alone (how long depends on line density of the character). Then everyone gets together on skype and goes through it to get a feel for the scene. That could take an hour if everyone's smooth about it or indefinitely long if someone's flaky. Then you do several read-throughs, each person making as high quality sound recording as they can, simultaneously with skype (the incoming voices will be cut in editing), not pausing for mistakes, and avoiding talking over each other. That'll take an hour. Throw in an extra hour for general screwups/scheduling, etc.

    We're looking at several hours, yes. But it won't be per comic strip.

    Oh heavens, if I'd had a creative writing class half as useful as that I wouldn't think it was the most useless thing I've ever done. We spent half the time talking about prose poetry and precious little on actual methods of producing a story worth reading.

    Wait. He said 'methods'. I wonder if the term 'method' was meant in the OOP sense, which basically boils down to 'function of an object and perhaps some other arguments'. In other worse, the restriction might be very narrow - 'do not execute this algorithm on this data type'. Which, incidentally, I think has the potential to be a reasonable restriction, depending on the algorithm and data type (if you implement a sentient being, say)

    I'm pretty sure that's not what was meant, but there's wiggle room for it to be that, if an author (Dan or a fic-writer) wanted to interpret it that way.

    sounded more confident than I meant

    Makes perfect sense.  The most rabid homophobes are self-hating. They have their noses rubbed in the issue day in, day out. Hypothetically, this guy suffered the horrors of guilt over doing what his body told him to do. He couldn't take the contradiction anymore.

    Yeah, it was OOP when used with CMDs. OOP for other stuff would be fine though.

    I meant, using certain OOP practices with CMDs. So even OOP with CMD would be OK as long as you didn't do certain things with it.

    One thing to keep in mind on moving targets - we can have separate like-ness entries for the same character at different times. Past Elliot is less likely to change than current Elliot (the remaining cases are further exposition that isn't character development, like flashbacks or when Tedd pulled out the TF gun for the first time)

    Step 1: fly to ground.

    Step 2: get in dark area

    Step 3: crouch to ground, face to knees

    Step 4: Morph to Elliot

    Step 5: Morph to party girl-like non-mind-morphed girl

    Step 6: Stand up and proceed normally
