Q & A with HollyG

[HollyG]

I'm aware of it but personal I do not used it in my Magick or art...I do pay attention to nature around me though

Hi ^^ Having read through the (currently short) archive, I have some questions now =)

1) Do you have the plot planned out (or at least outlined) beforehand? In other words, do you know how the story should end? I like your cute style, so it would be a pity if you eventually run out of ideas :3

2) I'm a little bit suspicious if the Shadow Academy can be really called a school... If they teach only vampire-related topics, I wonder how long the curriculum can be (so far only 2 subjects were mentioned that could take more than several months to learn -- vampire history and vamponomics) %) Perhaps the main difference between wizards (from Harry Potter) and vampires is that vampires require mostly practical skills, not some arcane knowledge taking 5 years to learn ^_^

3) How much detailed your "shadow realm" currently is? There's a whole bunch of questions one can ask (such as "How high is the population of vampires, what's their birth/death rate, and are there any social issues?", "Do vampires really need to interact with humans, taking into account their economical (and food-supply?) independency?", and even "Can the vampires in question be really considered dead from the biological point of view?" xD)... However, answering such questions is unnecessary (and even bad) for the light-hearted stories like yours. Nevertheless, I hope an internally coherent background would be revealed as the story goes on =)

By the way, do you maybe know tvtropes.org? I've stumbled upon a link to your webcomic there

Yes I do..I even have an ending if I want to put it in place-but I think my ending is the begining to something new like when
I ended VampFire and began School Bites

In other words, do you know how the story should end? I like your cute style, so it would be a pity if you eventually run out of ideas :3
oh I have a lot of those

That's inspired by my own education- I don't know about you but I went to Parson's School of Design and I didn't take one course that didn't have to do with Art...Nah!

Well that all sounds rather dry to my Hippy Punker New Aged Brain- But as a Virgo I see my world pretty clearly and so what I show you is a glimpse
into my living imagination and the memories I have growing up in NYC- a lot of the Shadow Realm is based on neighborhoods I loved- not tellin which- my secret nah again!

By the way, do you maybe know tvtropes.org? I've stumbled upon a link to your webcomic there

I saw that link on my little thing that tells me my hits- yes I've been there- most of it is cute some is not correct and I learned what 'fan service' was- as i said i thought it meant being polite to your readers- which I do try to be-thank you for your questions- live long and prosper!

[midgetshrimp]

Heh, not knowing what "fan-service" is. You're so cute *pinches your cheeks*

[towerwarlock]

When will vol#4 of the manga be out?

[HollyG]

Mini Manga vol 4 will be available at San Diego Comicon first...then stay tuned

[towerwarlock]

PLEASE HURRY! California is a little too far for me to travel. I live deep in the badlands of Texas in San Antonio. Yours is one of the few webcomics that I regularly follow.

Hey, what can I say. I know what I like. Although someone should tell le Bon's crew they are unfashionable. No one has dressed like they do in 200 years. Even the French gave up those clothes when they realized everyone was laughing at them.

Anyways, I may have only found SchoolBites in the last 2 months, but I still know what I like, and this is it. It is better than TrueBlood and the Southern Vampires Series. Better than Twilight and that bunch. I mean alot of Twilight fans even think that the Lord of the Rings books came out after the movies.

[HollyG]

Really?! they don't know about LOTR
oh my


er.. I beg to differ on the fashion front...being an ex designer
please refer to Betsey Johnson and Emilie Autumn for that PunkTorian look
I live it baby!
go those outfit in my closet!

[towerwarlock]

Oops oh well. I well it could be alot worse. I remember from one old comic book series that the vampires all ran arround in day-glo neon colors and were considered trendy. Of course that was the 1980's (ICK!).

[HollyG]

I loved the neon trend!
I had the world's coolest neon green strappy pumps!
My God Father was Bernie Ozer- my mom was a model in the 60s and went into Design after
she even did diane von furstenberg's line...I am a children of haute couture Baby!
Remember the Purple crazy in the late 70s...ya that was me

[towerwarlock]

Not me, I could not do the neon trend. For me I wore cowboy boots, jeans, and my own Battlestar Galactica Viper Pilot jacket from the original series, that was given to me by the cast. It was way too large for me, I mean I was only 6, but I did not care.

[HollyG]

not me Babycakes! I think I was 18 and lovin the neon thang!
(did cowboy look back in the seventies)

[towerwarlock]

For me it was the 1970's. and the 1980's.
