1. What is “False Prophet”?
False Prophet is the title I gave to my first novel, it is
an anime-style novel, with RPG / romance / fighting / fantasy genre. It is not
completed yet, still in progress. And, I apologize for many misspelling and
confusing words, I am not an english speaker myself, I know only about
2000-3000 english words.
2. Why did you name it “False Prophet”?
I can't tell you at this point. It is related to the overall
story. Please read it if you are interested.
3. Is False Prophet related to Christianity? I heard about "False Prophet" somewhere in the Christian Bible.
Not at all. In fact, I am a Christian myself (False Prophet
is mentioned in the Book of Revelation).
This story doesn't have any relation with any religion,
including Christianity. I write it just for fun. There is no politic, no
religion, no racist involved.
4. What is this False Prophet novel about? I mean the story.
I copy+paste this from the novel itself. Hope you don't
mind:
The story is about how Reien and his friends which were
stuck on Secondary Earth (Reika’s world) after Reien used “the sacred brush” to
draw a painting.
Maybe you had heard similar story about someone or group of
people being teleported to different world, for example: Fushigi Yuugi, Vision
of Escaflowne, Inu Yasha, etc.
But, trust me, although it may sound similar, but the
overall story and character developments are totally different.
5. The character names you used in your novel are beautiful, Reien, Reika, Titus, Levi, how do you get that?
Yes, a lot of people said that already. Some of the names I
invent myself, some just a recycled, you can get it anywhere. Levi can be the
name of famous jean brand. Sorry guys and gals if you’re happened to have those
name.
6. Can I write other novel based on your story.
You can't. You must not produce anything based on my story,
including the character names (the complete name), images, illustration, with
exception of the titles (False Prophet). You however can use a single character
name, for example “Reien” in your own novel, but not complete name like “Reien
Mikael” or “Reika Tenichi”. But, you can name your pet, your son, even
yourself “Reien Mikael”, and that is
completely legal.
Apart from above, if you want to create any materials based
on this novel and you think it is profitable (commercial products), then please
do inform me. Maybe I will consider :D .. (hint* .. hint*)
7. But you yourself get the story from similar anime, let's say, Fushigi Yuugi?
I don't. If you say that, I would say that Vision of
Escaflowne was recycled story of Fushigi Yuugi, Fushigi Yuugi was from Inu
Yasha, and so on. Basically, they just happened to have same plot, people get
teleported to another world, but the story itself are different.
You can create your own story just like what I did. But
eventually people will determined whether you're a copycat or an inventor.
8. Can I contact you?
Yes, by e-mail. Please send it to lexzeus@hotmail.com, please include in
the subject FalseProphet if you do so. This is to avoid your e-mail
being flagged as junk. I got a lot of spammer recently.
I welcome any
suggestions, critics, comments and flames.
9. Can you recommends
any good manga/anime?
I don’t really read
mangas, only a couple titles like City Hunter (finished), Ranma (finished), and
Dragon Ball (only a few series and then vomited, the fighting was too long).
But, I do watch animes, about 15 titles total, and so far, my favorites are
(not in particular order): Ranma ½, Fushigi Yuugi, Tenchi Muyo!, and Kimagure
Orange Road.
10. Finally, but maybe
not the last. When I can read the full story?
I don’t know, I only
write if I got the idea and time. Just get back to check my website weekly (or
daily if you’re very curious :D). You can see the “last updated date” there. I
will update the website every one episode completed or if any revision being
made (change of plot, word correction, etc).
