Legend of Zelda Fanfiction: The Edge and The Light – Chapter 4

Posted on

Small Shen: The book is out in bookstores, and here’s my post about it, which includes the book trailer and an extract of the first 50 pages! Happy Chinese New Year!!

Zelda Fanfiction: I’ve finished all 312 pages of this last week, and I’m toning chapter 8-11 these next few weeks. As of now, this series is being serialised on DeviantArt, MangaFox, SmackJeeves, Archive Of Our Own, and Tumblr. I’ll be posting chapter 5 up next week, since I finished chapter 4 this week.

 

 
Here’s the story, as displayed completely in one Tumblr post. It’s also on this site, but Tumblr makes it easier to read, so I redirect people there.

Chapter 5 starts next Friday on the 15th Feb, 2013!

Legend of Zelda Fanfiction: The Edge and The Light – Chapter 3

Small Shen: The book is out in bookstores, and here’s my post about it, which includes the book trailer and an extract of the first 50 pages! Hope everyone had a good New Year’s!

Zelda Fanfiction: Believe it or not, I have finished all 312 pages of my 11-chapter Zelda fanfiction, in the space of 7 months. Chapters 7-11 has yet to be toned, so I’ll be doing that in February, but it’s a startling improvement in speed compared to conventional manga/comics. Previously, I could only produce a 180-page book in 7 months in pure manga form, but I can double the output within the same period of time, while doubling the amount of story expressed with a prose/manga mix. If that 312 pages was in manga form (rather than a mix of manga and prose), I estimate the story would have taken at least 3 books (ie. 540 pages) to tell, and 3 years of actual work time.

I realise I haven’t posted chapter 3 on my blog yet, though I’m nearing the end of chapter 4. As of now, this series is being serialised on DeviantArt, MangaFox, SmackJeeves, Archive Of Our Own, and Tumblr. I’ll be posting chapter 4 up here shortly.

Chapter 4 ends next weekend, so it’ll be Chapter 5 after that. I’ll post Chapter 4 up next Friday!

Hi everyone! My next book Small Shen (from Harper Collins Voyager), will be out in Australian bookstores this month! I was super-excited when I got this book – the art was printed on high quality paper, and it just looks fabulous. As you can see from these pictures below, the book is a mix between prose and comics.

This is a collaboration with best-selling author Kylie Chan, and includes a free song (book soundtrack!) by my friend and long-time collaborator Yunyu, called Butterflies, that can be downloaded from a link at the back of the book.

The song ‘Butterflies’ by Yunyu will be delivered via QR tag, with instructions, at the back of the book.

Small Shen: The book will be in bookstores next month (December 2012), so there’ll be some posts about that next. They did a pre-sale for Small Shen at Supanova Brisbane, and the book sold out in a single afternoon! Thanks to everyone who bought it! More copies will be available at the actual launch next month!

Zelda fanfic: I’ve posted all of Chapter 2 of my Legend of Zelda fanfiction up on Tumblr now, and also at DeviantArt and SmackJeeves! Chapter 2 is 34 pages and longer than Chapter 1. Once again it’s in a mix of prose and comics, which has been getting a lot of positive feedback! Here’s Yunyu’s chapter music too!

Here’s the actual story, at Tumblr. Though it’s also been uploaded at a number of sites, which I’ll list here when I get things sorted.
