1267: The Third Attempt 34: H for Vendetta

Okay, so I'm thinking the next comic might start in October. We still have about 10 comics (more or less depending on potential rewrites and cuts).

I don't want to say too much because I'm still developing it, but the working title is "Remedial Magic." It's about Felicity Stone (different version of the one that showed up in Dragon City) who is a legend in the wizarding community and she takes a job as a teacher at a wizard school, teaching those with little talent or hard to reach talent to do magic. Part of the story will be told in flashback because I want to play on the angle of "What would a chosen one do after they fulfilled their chosen one status and lived?"

Wizarding school is kind of a trope now, so I don't feel it's too much of a ripoff of Harry Potter. I'm thinking more akin to The Name of the Wind (in that Felicity is telling her story to someone), which I like better than Harry Potter. Hell, Discworld did the magic school long before Harry Potter did.


But since we're still a ways off from the end of Jix, don't be surprised if I change my mind yet again about what I plan on doing after Jix. Of all the ideas I've had for the next comic, this is the one I'm most interested in and feel like I could write.
