About Prophecy Failed:

Having spent years building and working with the sci-fi world of Evil Eye (an unfinished novel; don't hold your breath), I wanted the setting of my next major venture to be the complete opposite. Specifically, I wanted a fantasy world without most of the fantasy. I wanted a lack of advanced technology and a naturalistic setting almost devoid fantastical elements. I've seen magic steal the show, modified at a whim to fit the situation a la deus ex machina, and most significantly, I just didn't want to bother it. I want my characters to use their physical and mental abilities to solve their problems (and if you think having a kid who dreams the future is hypocritical, reread the title of the comic and wait patiently like everyone else).

In any case, once I had a very vague premise of a psuedo-fantasy land, I sat on the idea for a long, long time. Two or three years after I had a basic idea of the world I wanted, I got inspiration for the characters, a situation, how to solve it, and how the situation came about. I planned on turning it into a novel, once I'd finished Evil Eye.

I'd been fiddling with the story in my head for a year and a half when I decided it'd be easier to make Prophecy Failed a comic instead of a novel. The problem there was that I had a long history of unfinished comics, mostly due to lack of motivation. The beauty of a webcomic is that I can pretend I have an audience looking forward to my updates, plus I could handle the story bit by bit instead of all at once, and so that's what I'm doing.
