First, sorry for the double journal post, but I didn't feel the previous one was appropriate for this content.

So, as I detailed in the last journal, despite everything, this has been a good year for my fursona/characters development and I've even achieved the core workings of a story plot for them. The story is heavily fantasy based, and will likely take me a good while to write it all out.

Firstly, I'll be putting together cohesive character sheets detailing the characters' appearance, bio, and an accompanying text post detailing their skills, abilities, personality, and other such related information. I'll be starting with Aureus and Rapidus as they are present from the start of my story; the other 2 will appear later. I'm not the greatest at art, so if I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T get a commission done for a character's bio, I'll scribble something awful together for the sake of a reference point and hopefully get it done proper later. Anything new (abilities, items) that the characters gain during the story will be detailed with a (potentially sloppy) art post. The story will be primarily text as I'm not made of cash and can't afford to commission a comic of this size, and my art skills are mediocre at best; I'd rather not slow the production further than I already have.

Second, once I get started, and I'm comfortable with my writing, I will likely post a journal asking if people would like their (fur?)sonas to cameo in the story. I won't be terribly picky about what gets added, but there's only so much detail that I'll be willing to cover for a cameo, and while I don't mean to be selfish, I don't really want any super-powerful RP cameos in the story as it would render the plot sort of moot. No one character will be legendary powerful such that they can hold their own against an army. That said, I won't kill a cameo in the story (there will be much conflict and tragedy) unless the owner explicitly states it's OK. Mostly it'll help me cut down on minor character development and overall speed up production, so if you like how I'm doing, consider asking for a cameo. Unless I get a lot of them, scalies may be reserved for story arc 3 as that entire story arc will take place in a lizaradman/draconian territory, and anything else would be somewhat out of place aside from a very small number non-scalies (like I said, I've got some framework laid out)

I'm not sure what my production speed will be, so I wont promise anything, but my plan is to put aside a specific amount of time each day to work on this. It's been flopping about in my mind for literal years and I've just now hammered down the major points. I still have a lot of work to do with smaller sub plots that will drive the main ideas, but thinking about how much I've done with it recently is super encouraging. Even now I've just excited myself again!
