Zodiac Adventures as Animals Explanation


Okay. This is a lot to take in. To preface, I was 10 years old when I wrote this story. Zodiac Adventures as Animals (or ZAAA as I like ot call it) began as a "Zodiac" of various classmates of mine sometime in early 2016, inspired by my obsession over Gravity Falls. This Zodiac evolved into me representing these classmates as Animals, and soon I spun off these characters as their own thing completely unrelated to my classmates, except for their names. For the purpose of privacy, all the names, except for one, have been changed. I consider the beginning of my drawing journey as September 1, 2016. This is important because I began writing this story just a month and a half later. This entire story is also entirely retold via a comic strip, of which I found some old photos that I'll include here. Anyway, this story was never finished, nor did it really have a planned end. I wrote the bulk of the story between October and December of 2016, with some final additions occuring in September 2018.

The story doesn't end there though. Two of the characters from this actually managed to live on through my other stories. The only name I didn't change in the story is "Taylor" and the reason why is because shes the one that I kept using. I originally wrote Taylor to be a Vixen, mainly because the main character (replaced with Andrew) is a Fox that I named after myself, and at the time I had a crush on this girl. Well, as 2019 came around and I began laying the foundation for Kronos Kairos with my redo of my FNiC characters, I kept the name Taylor for Mangle's character, and as Kronos Kairos was written this name stuck.

Well, I've kept you waiting long enough. Click here to read this cringefest I wrote in elementary school. Comic pages and some resources are below.
