QA Seera talks about A Tale of Hope (and thanks :)

First of all, I just want to thank all of you for the birthday wishes and gifts and llama badges and everything! You guys really made it a great day! Thank you all so much for your kindness and your support. I wouldn't still be here if it weren't for all of you

Before I get to my Q&A, I want to quickly explain some absences I had recently. A couple months ago I went into this shlump that made me wish I was dead. I couldn't think, I couldn't get excited for anything, I didn't care about anything. I wished I couldn't exist. I would go over to my brother's house and watch Futurama all day long just to get my mind on something, to find some way to laugh. When I drove home everyday, I'd look at a cliff edge, and fantasize about how I could just turn the wheel and It'd all be over. I won't lie, it was pathetic.
When I pulled myself out of the shlump, as only I can do, I looked back in disgust at what I thought. I'm not proud of it and it was a very cowardly way to think. Another lesson learned, I believe.
But I didn't do much on DA for a while because of it. I wasn't very excited about continuing my comics, particularly Zirra's Return. But they say that when you have a block, say writers block or art block, the best way to get out of it is not to force something out, but to go back and look at everything you have accomplished, and there you will revisit or remember ideas you may have had at the time, or come up with completely new ones. That's what I did. I read through the pages and read your comments. And I got excited for it all over again. You guys truly are what keeps me going

Thank you guys so much.


Now as for the "Seera talks about A Tale of Hope" I've decided to make a video of it like I did for Zirra's Return here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFAH3b…

And I know that I have only one chapter of it uploaded, but this video will actually include spoilers. Well...not so much spoilers as explanations to the story. I've never really kept anything quiet about the story of A Tale of Hope. I've stated in the beginning that Frillisean dies in the end. And Pyron's ref sheet explains more. The only thing I won't talk about though, is how exactly Frillisean dies. That's what I want to keep secret until the end.
Also keep in mind that if you ask about Zirra, there are some things I won't answer, but others I will.

Before I open the questioning, I want to feature a couple comics here inspired by the very species I've created, Adalisks.



I was very flattered when I saw these, and I'm keeping a watch on them Go ahead and check them out yourself as well So far, I am pleased with their results.

I also want to feature some videos I uploaded some whiles ago.
One is about Zirra, and what she saw when she was about to kill Cynder in the comic.

And Adalisk "Marking" is a term that is very important to the species and will be discussed in the comic.

The other is about my World of Equestria comic, featuring the moment when Helios, Selena, Celestia, and Luna make their mark of friendship.

It's just a little moment that I added music to. I'm going to do that a lot with my comics, so it's just kind of a beginner/starter ^_^

Plus, I have 3 new comics I plan to release soon. One about Dolphins, one about Seider Nova, and one about a Dragon Rider. Also technically 4, since I also have Fiora's comic pages to work on.
And even another one with my Skylander stories. I have quite a few more little mini tales I thought of recently that I'm going to be working on.
One thing about me, I'm a storyteller XD

Anyway, with all that out of the way, lets go ahead and open up the questioning for A Tale of Hope. Go ahead and ask away
