End of Year Q&A (Patreon)
Content
This is the log of the Q&A. I hope you enjoy it! Questions in BOLD.
The end of year Q&A is starting! Hello everyone, hello all LV fans! I hope you have a lot of questions, I'll try to answer!
alright, who has the first question
marblepants β Can we get any hints as to what Outlet is up to? or when they'll come back into the picture?
Ah yes, good question! Outlet is scheming, trying to find a way to regain what he feels he deserves. Machinations are being hinted
ZangetsUK β What do you think of my Bellona idea, for one more goddess with a champion? I'd love to see a British character in the comic and she'd be am excellent person for him to transform into!
I don't dislike the idea of other patheons empowering champions, just have to make it work with the cosmology I established
marblepants β How much longer do you expect the current Lady Valiant arc to go for?
Challenge of the Gods will be ending end of March/Beginning April
ZangetsUK β When do you plan on the physical release of LV? I think you mentioned previously
I will work with Xam next year, set up a campaign to get a print going, and also to pay for the extras that will justify a physical release, like some making of pages, etc.
Ricardo β What it's next for Cabin?
Cabin? We have an Abby story planned, and then another for a Tale of the Tome regarding another spell
DocVS β Are there any other planned collaborations coming up with other content creators? Say in the superhero genre? hint hintβ¦
hah yes, I am doing Golden Infinity with @Jaycee of Bloomin Faeries, and you and I are talking about a project @DocVS and I have another @tracyscops project planned next year
marblepants β What are the plans for the changes in the patron structure? Did anything happen with the Cabin tier?
@marblepants sadly it looks like Cabin Tier won't have enough extra support for the time being
ZangetsUK β Are there any plans for remaking the original pages of the comic? Where they're coloured and resemble the current artwork?
@ZangetsUK great question!
The first 100 pages are being recolored and will be released next year!
Ricardo β How much money do you you need to make a monthly Cabin story?
approx 250-300 USD
marblepants β That's too bad, is support steady right now at least?
support is good right now, but I don't want to get too deep into finances. But right now, LV and Turb and Sidestories are stable, and we occasionally have a little extra for stuff, so we're good
marblepants β Glad to hear it. So then what about after March? Can we get a hint as to who the next villain will be?
expect more machinations and villains that will tie LV and Turb's stories.
marblepants β Will there be any lasting effects of the current arc?
Oh, yes, lots! We will feel the effects for a while!
Ricardo β Who is your favorite character for side stories?
I wouldn't mind to see a Turb sidestory, but we haven't had one yet. Of the ones we had? I really really like the first chapter of "Shuffled"
marblepants β I'd like to pile on to that, what's you're favourite sidestory so far?
hah, same answer
marblepants β dang I was too slow
ZangetsUK β When will we see more of John in Venus' body?
Lots more, maybe too much lol
marblepants β More of a request really... but can we get the colored cabin pages of day 3 and 4 in pdf?
I'll see if I can get that together
Ricardo β What other shuffled stories would you like to do?
Shuffled sort of told the tale it needed to
ZangetsUK β What will the dynamic be with John, Tom & LV, especially with John's new body?
That I'll leave for you to see, but it will be a bit of a "been there, huh?"
marblepants β I don't always keep close watch but what stories have hit the "boneyard" and which one are you hoping to bring back if possible
MDcanizoAIT β Wish we could see more John as Venus
Oh we will we will!
MDcanizoAIT β I think he will get his body back but keep the form and power of Venus
I don't want to spoil, but don't worry, you won't be missing Venus's boobies
Ricardo β If You could make a regular cΓ³mic of a sidestorie character, who would you choose?
I'd honestly like to do an Agents of SWAP comic about dealing with gender changes and body swaps in a superhero world from the view of secret agents trying to keep it all hush hush
Ricardo β Like an anthology with body swap tematic?
pretty much yes
Ricardo β Boobs or ass?
Boobs
ZangetsUK βWhat would it be like for a new recruit in SWAP, would he have to switch with one of the veterans?
ah, they don't swap a lot in SWAP. lol. they try to stop swaps in SWAP...
Ricardo β When the boobs are too big for You?
well, for me? Powergirl is perfect size
Ricardo β More than that it's too much?
Yeah
Ricardo β LV it's Wonder woman, Turb it's Powergirl, how would be your Scarlett Witch versiΓ³n?
I think Chant is kinda it?
marblepants β Is there a piece of lore that you consider canon but never added to the comics?
Well, one idea i have that I consider canon is There's at least two different swaps that have happened in the past that are covered up/hidden since it is too much trouble to reverse. That's all I'lll say lol!
marblepants β Where did the idea for Lady Valiant come from?
it's a lot simpler than you would think lol! I like body swaps and at that time I had a thing for nerdy student/hot teacher swaps, and I also liked Wonder Woman types
Ricardo β As a comic creator, have you ever had problems with the woke o anti-woke people?
wellllll, and I will not say who, but lots of people say my style of swaps are 'exploitative' and 'victimizing', which I find strange since in the realm of all possibilities, body swaps are physically impossible
ZangetsUK β Will we ever see a bat girl type of hero? No super powers, just a guy switched with a really wealthy woman who goes out every night like Bruce Wayne?
@ZangetsUK there are ideas for that, and a patron created character that fits that mark
ZangetsUK β Is the Patron character/comic available on Patreon currently?
@ZangetsUK yes it's Joser's Furycat. it's in the Mega. Under "Patron shared commissions"
Ricardo β I kind of remember someone posting that comment, but as you said it's not even possible.
Like, there are certain things I understand why people would find bad in fiction, but those are things that a person can realistically do
marblepants βI feel as far as Lady Valiant goes it's pretty low on the dark side of this fetish
but I don't want to steer this QnA into that kind of discussion
@marblepants yes, LV proper is pretty lighthearted mostly. The sidestories can get darker, Turb not as dark, and Cabin can get pretty dark, but that's what to expect
ZangetsUK β Also, what's your favourite m2f body swap movie?
hm, favorite movie? I really liked parts of Red Mist(Freakdog)
Ricardo β Favorite anime body swap?
Seikan no Qwasar had a pretty hot possession
marblepants β Do you ever worry that characters start to look too samey as more are added?
Yes, I do. which is why I sort have to justify who a new character is when added
marblepants β or a better way to ask is what is your process for coming up with new character design?
I look for things I like, give a rough description, and then let Xamrock do the rest
one of the things with our partnership is I give Xam nearly full creative freedom
Ricardo β What are your limits on the cabin stories? I mean, what things would you never do on Cabin or any other story.
I am not sure if there is a limit. I would like to, after Abby is done, just not visit the Cabin girls a while and do a few stories about the book itself going into new hands
Ricardo β What other spells the book has?
well, there's a few possession spells, phantom hand spells, and the mirror spell which I hope you all will see soon
sleephollow98 β I've always wondered l, but if the comic was a cartoon, then would voice the characters like -
Lady Valiant and Tom
Teen Valiant
Turbulence
Dr. Cumming
Athena and her Guard
John and Venus
Outlet and OG Lady Valiant
Hercules and Bacchus
SWAP Agents
And maybe even the side story characters.
Oh wow, I'd need time to think of appropriate voices!
Ricardo β Who would be your dream fancast for a LV movie?
Again, will need to think on the casting.
Ricardo β The superhero movies are dead?
nah, just bad movies are dead lol
Ricardo β And the MCU
Exactly
marblepants β Are future stories going to stay focused on LV or will there be time where another character mainlines
I have toyed with the idea of when I feel like the LV story is done, keeping the comic going as tales from the LV-verse... but no plans of that yet
ZangetsUK β Is there a DC comic story that you would have liked to have included a body swap? I remember a comic where wonder woman switched with another woman, but I would have preferred if she'd switched with a guy
Yes @ZangetsUK that story
Ricardo β Catwoman or Black Cat?
Catwoman because of the zipper scene
Ricardo β Rogue or Powergirl?
Powergirl
ZangetsUK β What do you think an actual reaction would be, if a man switched bodies with a woman in real life? I'm sure he'd be terrified π¨
Depends entirely on the man and the woman
ZangetsUK β Like if a machine was made, or a brain transplant? If it was a cis man and cis woman?
but who are they? Like that's where things get weird/interesting
Ricardo β What it's your oldest internet memory?
AIM chatrooms
Ricardo β You are an internet veteran.
ZangetsUK β Do you have a favourite story on fictionmania or TG storytime?
well, with Fictionmania, There was one I really liked called Brainswapping, I think Carolyn Collins
Ricardo β Favorite body swap clichΓ©?
and favorite cliche? Hmm, that's hard to explain, I sort of like it when two people swap, I like it if swapped in sleep, and like the woman, we see her realize she swapped, then she sees who she swapped with. It's someone she doesn't like, and/or knows exctly what he would do with her body, then look of horror.... then smash cut
Ricardo β Kind of miss Lane waking up in Tom's body
I don't see that as a look of horror, lol. like the smash cut has to be like, sort of like that scene in Rising Stars
Ricardo β What of your stories has that clichΓ©?
well, none of mine I don't think have that moment of horror, at least not yet
ZangetsUK β If you could switch with any woman throughout History, who would you choose? Cleopatra?
90's Kate Beckinsale lol.
ZangetsUK β What type of body swap movie, would best suit Gal Gadot in your opinion?
one where she has bigger boobs
ZangetsUK β Lol, I this she had one of the most beautiful appearances! Tall women, are the best!
Like Lady Dimitrescu!
Yes, but I wish she had something more up top lol
Ricardo β Geek disappointment of the year?
Spider-man 2
Ricardo β Superior Spiderman inspired Lady Valiant?
I sort of feel like we did that with Outlet Wins. But if I had a chance to do another superheroine dark swap, I have ideas.
Ricardo β Can You tell us some of them?
I want to see a story where something like Damage Control where it's not contained, it's awful, and everyone knows
Ricardo β Like Golden Infinity?
Yes
Also I do have a new smaller project to announce
https://glassangelcomic.com/ Glass Angel, a Sci fi space opera body swap comic that I hope will be of interest.
But I hope you all enjoy the Q&A. any final questions?
MDcanizoAIT β can we get more stories like Damage Control and Triple Threat
MD, yes, we want to
MDcanizoAIT β are we gonna see a story about the past LV generation?
That's an interesting idea... maybe someone can Goddess-tier that
MDcanizoAIT β also are you planning to do another big comic like LV when you make kickstarter?
I am not putting it off the table, but I have a full plate right now π
alright, so let's wrap up this Q&A session! Thank you all for your questions!
