A while back I wrote up some story summaries of my various works. However, it wasn't divided well enough for easy linking. So for new people who wanna learn about Snowbound (Since I just posted the first page), I'm giving it its own journal!


Story Summary

Snowbound is the story of Yukino "Snow" Maeda, a teenage Japanese girl living in Canada. One day she learns that she carries a great and lost power, thought by many to only be a myth: the power of snow. However, with this knowledge comes a dark shadow that seeks to take her power for itself. Yukino must learn how to use her power, and the truth behind why it disappeared in the first place, before the shadows consume all that matters to her.


About Snowbound's Creation

Snowbound, originally just called "Snow", was the third story I had developed (After Star of Destiny and Kingdom of Ebias). I was inspired to create it after watching a particular anime series, which I won't name. The intent of Snow was to make a magical girl inspired story, where I would borrow from magical girl tropes and concepts but the story would be more than just that. A lot of its inspiration comes from shoujo magical girl classics such as Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon.


How It's Being Made

Currently, I'm having Snowbound being created as a manga. I'm working with three artists - Rikae, FalyneVarger, and Cetriya - to see this be done. I'm still working out distribution. However, in order to afford being able to give it a faster development time, I'm looking at using Indiegogo to raise money. We (By we, I mean the artists and I) will be launching a campaign to raise enough money to finish chapter 1 (With any additional money we raise going towards future chapters). The more we raise, the faster we can get the first chapter complete. Without this campaign, we'd be looking at, at best, one page a week. With it, 4 or more pages a week is a very possible thing.

When we launch the campaign, we hope you'll all join in and help make it a resounding success. As we get closer to the campaign's launch, I'll be writing another journal up talking about what we'll be offering as rewards to people who back us and giving more details on how things will work.
