I really want to write a webcomic or graphic novel or anime or something. I'll probably do something that only requires a writer and an artist, because I can be both of those things. What's most important to me is that I get a set of characters, a set of ideas that I want to convey, and a really compelling plot that helps me express what I want to express. Having a large readership is a really useful tool in getting across a message, so I need to make my story engaging to the demographics I want to reach - which should initially be the layman, but which should have a lot of appeal for the people like me and the people who can bring about the changes that my work calls for.
So right now, I'm starting to compile characters that are inspired by people I know in real life. These are people whose motivations I well understand, and I hope to use what I know about their ways of living to guide the characters' decisions. I want to make the story believable and fluid, so I want to put the right people in the right situations for the right reasons. It's interesting, thinking about what would be needed to make a certain event happen, and which characters need to interact for a certain debate to be had in a way that doesn't seem like a writer's soapbox.
I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'd really like to get it on paper so I can get really writing a long-ass story and draw things to match up with it.
