MagicCon 7 | Vortrag | Fantasyserie - Die Vagabunden
A fantasy series in the magazine trade – there have only been a few attempts at this in Germany, and the most recent was many years ago. With his experience in the genre (e.g. DIE PHILEASSON-SAGA) and in the magazine novel format (PERRY RHODAN), Robert Corvus is making a new attempt. In 2024, he launches his series DIE VAGABUNDEN (The Vagabunds) about a colorful troupe of jugglers who intervene in the conflict of powers beyond human understanding. A story of secrets and intrigue, of freedom, magic and courage …
In this program item, he presents his story and the special challenges of this form of publication. How is such a large-scale project planned? How do you keep the balance between interesting individual episodes and the tension in the connecting story arcs? What are the opportunities and limitations of this narrative form? How does the collaboration with the publisher work?
