I’ve begun outlining the first part of AD: CUT.
First change, no text sections. I will reserve text sections for when the inspiration hits me instead of trying to write for EVERYTHING. Why? Because there are times when a single sentence or paragraph can cover a whole page, because there isn’t a lot left unsaid. Battle scenes are often the WORST to write to. This always complicates layouts. This also really frustrates me, because there is so little to go with the page.
Second change: Full page updates.
Now, I haven’t finished outlining or scripting what we’re on now, but I may switch to full page updates anyway and tell myself to put the text behind each chapter where it won’t fit otherwise. It’s just too difficult to mix some pages and keep them in sync.

you might wanna take a look at DMFA, to see how it’s writer does full pages. When you do full pages its sometimes acceptable to fill whole half a pannel with text, so don’t worry about that part.
Sometimes it is, but I don’t want to do that.
I read DMFA quite often and I do everything as full pages, the problem is that with AD, I’ve had to crush panels into strips, leaving me very little ‘room’. You can see what I do on Black Rose.
The whole thing with printing AD has me in a state of confusion that I’ve been locked into for awhile now. I’m about to fix that. There will likely be added black and white stories that will contain more in depth text. The cost of printing so much text with the images is a real deterrent.
