Okay. Bit of an explaination required here. /co/ recently finished storytiming "Serenity", a Christian manga series about a girl named Serenity getting into trouble before cleaning herself up with the word of God. While nowhere near as offensive as the Chick tracts, it's still a poorly written and drawn series with flat characters and a character who is, for all intents and purposes, brainwashed into her school's prayer group.

Serenity is such an interesting trainwreck that there's been a ton of fanwork pouring out as the result. Writefaggotry, drawfaggotry...there's even now a TVTropes page for the manga. Someone suggested we collect all of the fanwork into a single thread on plus4chan, so that's what I'm doing here. If you haven't read Serenity yet, go check out /rs/ on 4chan - the recent volumes should be there, at least. It's worth it to understand why such a weird fandom has sprung up.

Thanks for posting. This has really shed a new light on the story.

On an unrelated note, would anyone read the whole Guyver-Kamen Rider-Hits and Misses thing if I wrote a little story about it? I've just got so many damn ideas churning for it. I wouldn't post it in this thread, but still.

>>"Serenity was suppose to bring a worldiness to the other kids that would bolster their faith..."

Then this particular fiction exist in something of a paradox, because that is precisely the point of Christian Medias in general: to insulate christians from the secular world.

While his conception of the story does put Serenity (The book) above something like ChickTract, I am not sure it is really that different in terms of substance then our own conception before, as it is our concern with Serenity (the person) herself and the destruction of her personal identity.

I just recently found my psd of the color-job I was working on for that pic - sorry I got so sidetracked!

I set up a dA a few days ago, and I'll post my WIPs there, but of course, I won't leave you guys out of the loop.

Thanks for finishing it! I still have a sequel planned - when things die down a little, I can hopefully write it. Maybe I'll do it as a day-off project for fun. That's a good idea, actually.

we really need some pics of Serenity boldly going into the hot tub nude, not giving any fucks what they think, while Lori unsubtly has a hand down her swimsuit.

Why it hasn't been done yet, no matter how many times it gets brought up, is starting to vex me a little.

I know, I know, not my personal blog, but I just saw this, and I had to share it with someone.

Seems Buzz Dixon's taken notice of us.

Now, seriously - whose linework was that I colored? I'd really like to know, so I can tell him.

I'm assuming he saw it on dA rather than here - otherwise I wonder what he thinks of all the porn in the thread.

oh wow, well if no one comes forward just explain that the line work was done by an anonymous person.
I don't think whoever drew it will object to it ending up on his site though.

Oh, and tell him that she's red since this is from before she calmed down.

>>44662
we're all partially responsible here, I'm the one who put the request in the drawthread for these a few months ago.
Just about all the Serenity lantern fanart was requested by me or started being made once I sent people who wanted it to the right places...
>> No. 44664

But what if he wants an explaination about why they're Lanterns? I was just having fun messing around when I wrote that, I don't think I could DEFEND it.
>> No. 44665

Does it matter? Mind you, I don't know anything about Lanterns or Serenity, but people are turning everything into ponies these days, so I figure Lanterns are a lesser evil.
>> No. 44666
>>44664
If he asks for a reason why they're lanterns then just tell the truth that it's based on a funny fic, or that making EVERYTHING into lanterns is "trendy".

I don't think I ever want to see Serenity ponies, but now that you've said it, someone's gonna do it.

Gah! I need to be more diligent about checking this board! It's faster than I expected!

He sent the screencapped note shortly after I posted his first one here: apparently he is aware of this site and the fanart.

My response was as follows:

"Let me first say that it's a surprise and an honor to hear from you - I think this is the first time I've had a professional contact ME, let alone one from the animation/comics field, both of which I'm strongly interested in someday working for.

Anyway, of course you can post the pictures - although I do not currently know who the the line-artist is, and only did the coloring. Part of the reason it's taken me so long to respond was that I was trying to find out; it didn't feel right taking all the credit when I only did half the work. If I find out, I'll get in touch with you again and let you know - will dA work, or do you prefer other channels?

PS - I just posted a more "complete" version of the "Faceoff" picture the other day; you may have already seen it.

PPS - I know exactly how you feel, concerning people trying to make T-shirts of your work, as much as I wish I didn't."

>> No. 44716

Well, I still don't know how to feel, I mean part of the story was melodrama and the other part was fightin' zombies with Optimus Prime so I don't even think we can accurately judge any quality it might have. At least he's fine with it, I guess. And it HAS spawned some great fan art all the same, so I'm glad I made it.

So, Buzz, if you ever read this, I'll be honest. Serenity isn't very good, but I don't hate ya for doing it. And I respect what you've said about it. That being said, Serenity's created far more interesting things for me than just terrible Lantern fanfiction. My upcoming original work "Kabuto Silver" was actually inspired, in a very indirect way, by Hits and Misses. Long story for that one, but if you want, I'll link you to it sometime when it comes out.

huh, well at least he's being cool with all the stuff in this thread. Gotta give him credit for that since other artists and writers have taken it a lot worse.
Sorry if this sounds like I'm being full of myself, but it feels kinda strange that the majority of Serenity lantern art came about because I posted a bunch of requests on a whim.

Well... beyond that, I don't know what purpose this would serve. Frankly, the premise of the challenge isn't something that particular interest me, since I am not big fan of divine command.

Although when it comes to 10 commandment, for some reason the only think I came up with right away has to do with tenth, which in part says "You shall not covet your neighbor's :snip: ...or his ass". The image comes to mind is she thinking of Derek while masturbating furiously.

Well I suppose there is a PG13 version of that where she is just day dreaming.


I never saw what she seen in Derek, he is such a dorky kid.
