Gah! he looks like such a bad ass. I have to say I loved this story....right up to the very end *sweat drop* not to knock it, but I might have gone a different way.

Thank-you, I love drawing Hiccup as a bad-ass because he is! To me at least. But yeah, I get where you're coming from. I would have had Hiccup stay away for one more year, taking a route through Asia or Northern Africa, and encountering mystic beings that guide him back to where he needs to go and come back when he's 18 or close to 18. But that's just me.
But I think that you having ideas on having the story go in another direction also shows that this story is just so epic that it can have it's own fanfics written for it.

And how would you end an epic-length prologue without compromising any of the character growth?

Now now, don't get me wrong. It was GREAT up until Loki stole his soul o,o. That's where it kind of fell through for me, that's all. LITERALLY everything else was a freaking amazing ride! (pwease don't hate me)

Yeah I get it but, beh, I don't know. It felt like it took a really complex and deep story about finding your own way in life, with a little divine help, and took it to a level that was so...I don't know, out there. I mean, for all of the story it really felt like an awesome Dragonlance-esk adventure story. And then Boom, Loki steals Hiccup's soul, causes him to lose his divine weapon and forces him into immortality. I DON'T KNOW!!!! Gah, it just felt...kinda like a let down. I don't mean to go tromping all over your masterpiece with "what I would have done" I don't know it just lost a layer of realism. (I know stupid to say) But fantastic and divine intervention aside, the whole of the prologue had such a "real" feeling about it. Certainly better than anything *I* write.

Oh nonono! No trampling at all. I know everyone had their different preferences for it. The majority (from feedback) enjoyed the ending but there are always those who had different plans for it. Some wanted Hiccup to stay on the island and make life there, others wanted him to have never returned. But it's great that everyone had different plans in mind for him; I loved hearing all the different ideas.
Erm, I don't actually know what Dragonlance is
Hiccup wasn't forced into immortality so much as 'sentenced'--Loki took his soul to be judged by the gods, hoping for a sentence in Hel just to tease Thor, it was never deeper than that. The sentence Hiccup recieved, to him as one of Asgard, seemed like more of a reward because he can't see things from a human's perspective. Hiccup also never lost Framherja either. Framherja's energy and power is directly linked to Hiccup's life force, so when he's dying, she fades (like what happened with her string). Thinking of how Hiccup slowly learns to master her always gets me excited (he needs some asian, chakra-untilizing lessons for that )
Hiccup's entire life is a story of defying the gods, making peace with his in-between state of existence, and keeping his sanity. In my mind, Hiccup's story is just a tiny piece of a much greater story. He's one little end that ties into millions of others that all lead up to Ragnarok. He's not the only human who caught the attention of the gods, or who is bound to Midgard. I don't know if you've read Without a Hitch, but that first chapter gives a small taste for what he was in store for. I'll admit, it didn't start out as such a grand plan, but before I was halfway through it was painted clearly to me. Whether I could deliver it clearly is always put into question. But questioning is good!

your going to hate me, but I just couldn't. I got into it and just, didn't really like where it was going. So I decided to just leave the Hitchups story as it was without any outside influences. I know that is probably awful for me to do especially because you are one of my favorite writers and artists but...gah! I feel so bad for it because I know how hard you must have worked on it. v.v

Why would I hate you? It's your preference. I would recommend checking it out only because it could put your mind at ease. It clears up a few questions and connects some dots, (of course it starts some questions as well). It's just one-shots, and some don't take place after Hitchups. There are unseen moments from when Hiccup was in Miklagard, some insights to what happened with the mermaids, stuff like that. There's a wide range of stories in there (only five so far) that appeal to different people.

Alright, just cause your so damn awesome and I trust your writing skill. And I might have a weird writers crush on you too but shh, you didn't heat that from me. Still working on my own stuff too, my problem is I have TOO MANY IDEAS!!! I can't get one fully hashed out before something new and tantalizing shoots into my head and I absolutely HAVE TO WRITE IT DOWN! Sometimes i hate my imagination. I'm an art major and a writer and I STILL can't get all of my creativeness out. I swear it's killing me, lol. At this very moment I have no less than 5 fan fictions in the works. Gah I wish I wasn't so ADD and could focus. and I have no idea why I put all that down o,o;;;

LOL you don't know the half of it, I have a whole folder dedicated to half planned fanfics and another whole doc file dedicated to just "Snip-its" But I kinda like it, makes me remember that I am, in fact, creative.

Not so much difficult as it is time consuming because of the designs and having to redraw them over and over again... curse my imagination and attention to details...
