To The Major Modern General, I see your point General, about me supporting Belchic, but I can't doubt yours and Bab's opinion either. Let me explain I mean I opened up about the farm with a fan character named Chase in my fanfiction Love at First Sight and it was a hit, it was four chapters and the main characters were supposed to be Chase and Cadpig, but I wanted to use the main pups as well as Two-Tone as a reference to a fanfiction I'm working on.
The point I'm trying to make is everyone is going to like the story. But using a new character sounds interesting.

Caught me off guard as well. You and me both! o.O ----- General explains my point nicely. I never said that EVERYTHING of the Comic is about the New Dal, but more so that he can act as a Bridge for the New Readers! Like I stated about the FIM Case; Twilight being new in Ponyville on the first episode acts as a Bridge to the Viewers and learn on the characters. Or it's also the reason why the First episode of "101 Dalmatians The Series"; "Home Is Where The Bark Is" is the Episode where the Dearly's & Dalmatians move to the Farm. The Pups are new to the Farm there, which sets up learning about it, the Animals already on it and that it's neighbour to Cruella. If it is two established Dal Characters and they started talking about exposition, it’ll be a case like this. Like said, the New Dal doesn’t have to be the Focus all the time nor steal all the lime light, but it can act as a Bridge. And General explained what I meant with Q. Discord is voiced by John De Lancie, whom played Q in ST:TNG and I believe the show creators did state that said character was based on Q. General has a point too, What is so bad about introducing a Pup to act as Bridge for the Readers, but so okay with making Dals like Tac or the Heartbreakers the main antagonists? If you have a Plot on how we can open the Comic, Belchic and also make sure the Readers are established on whom every Pup is and what the Dearly Farm is like, can we hear it, please?

babclayman: If you read the PM I sent you, you will see why I'm so against that idea.

Well, General has got me reviving this thread.
How would things be if I wrote the Draft for the first story which introduces it? Also, what would this New Bridge Pup be like?

I'd like to suggest for the Webcomic that if people decide to use other people's characters, they should check with them first. It should seem fair for them to make sure their characters are out of character and are being used in correctly. I don't want to fuel fights like some of us did with our fanfictions.

I am sure asking Dal Creators as Creative Consultants can work.
Maybe we can work this like a Series. Like each story in particular has a certain author. Like say, I write the first story. Then Trey writes the Second, General writes the Third, etc.
Depends whose in to be an Author though?

Exactly.
One concern I have about the plan that you and General came up with, bab, for the story arc in the first few comics: wouldn't this establish this mystery pup as the star of the comic? Do you know what I mean by that? Won't the readers want to see more of him and find out what happened to him, etc.?

I can also write a story for the comic Bab, but I'm still an amateur in the Art department, stories are all I can do for now.

Well, who says he can't, Belchic? My main focus on the Webcomic would be about every Dalmatian, since when you hear "101 Dalmatians", you expect "101 Dalmatians".
My idea was that each story would focus around a certain group of Pups. Although, this Bridge Pup should be a focus at some points. Like how we sympathise with Twilight in the first season of FIM, since she is new in town and is learning what it's like.
If you want to write, Shawn, by all means do so. ;3 Should we have plot ideas for each story, First one being "Newbie On The Farm" etc?

Reviving this idea.
Like said, the first couple of comics would be about a New Pup on the Dearly Farm, as a way of introducing the Reader to everyone too. Like how Friendship Is Magic began, or how Star Trek Next Gen started with everyone boarding the Ship.
The Question however is...what is the personality of this New Pup? Shy? Sarcastic? Genre Savvy? A Recluse? Curious? Male? Female? Etc?
Any suggestions, Pups?

I'd say a curious female -not enough females-

Sure, A Female can work good! =3 Also, with being Curious, she may be able to ask along with the reader on who, what or where someone or something is, can't she?

And it sounds pretty evident that you want her to be the main character of the comic. That was the deal with Twilight Sparkle.

Just had a thought.
If we're having this Pup be Female, how about we have a design contest? Like, Pups can do an image of what they think the Pup's Shape, Spots, Fur, Accesories should be like! =3
Maybe I can even make a Dal Creator on Flash too, for those who don't wish to draw the Body Work?
Think this is an Idea?
