 I have a minor fondness for His Dark Material Fusion Fics...that is stories where the characters have Daemons. I have off and on fought with myself over actually writing a one-shot HDM fusion either in Power Rangers or for Hunterss (SPN/CM) but I haven't really settled on the Daemon yet, much less whether I'd commit.

I do know that my Anna from Huntress would have either a Tiger or a Liger because she needs a big cat following her everywhere and those are big cats.

The Rangers give me more of a fit, trying to figure out what happens when they morph. I think they "blend" with the Rangers at those times... feeding into the idea that Rangers aren't normal humans...

Jason has a lioness though. Because of reasons.

I have officially decided that in the Rocca/Thorne/Bly household, they have a tradition. When someone in the group says something particularly stupid, or embaressing loud enough that everyone can hear it, they appalud the speaker. Case in point:


Wildfire glanced down the hallway to the stage and looked back at Firefly, "You ok?" His sister asked.
"Yeah," Wildfire managed after a moment, "I just, I feel naked without my guitar."
Applause made him jump and Wildfire turned to find a camera zoomed in on him. "Congratulations," Lance said, coming up on his left to cuff him on the shoulder, "You just got the 'stupidst thing said on camera' award. Aunt Madison will be thrilled to get rid of the trophy." 


Yeah, they do stuff like that. Because they love each other.

Just throwing out some thoughts on if my Brotherhood Rangers met my Headcannon Avengers...


Kira would totally hone in on Steve and just talk to him. She'd get right in his brain and find all those knots of guilt and banish them.

Dustin would hook in Tony for the exact same thing, but he'd do it with science because Brotherhood Dustin is a mechanical engineer. He'd start asking about some mechanical aspect of the armor, bring it back to the Mark I and swing around to Afghanistan, go back to the armor and then swing it back through something else. He'd play with the robots and ask about Tony's dad, and just leave Tony feeling better about things.

I think Chip and Xander would tag team Clint because Chip alone is overwhelming but Clint and Xander have being charming in common. They'd hang out on the rang, testing out Clint's bows while Xander and Clint talk about women and dating.

Vida and Natasha would get on like a house on fire. Natasha would adopt Vida and teach her how to back up her threats. After they had a bit of a cat fight, actually. They're both strong personalities in that way.

Chip, Dustin, Emily and a couple of others would hang with Thor too, just because they're all of the 'be yourself' group. They just don't care about what other people think, they just are. But Jason and Tommy would share looks with Thor, and they would get it, that Thor's a warrior more than anything. That connection between the three of them wouldn't require words.

Billy and Cam would hang with Bruce in the lab, doing science stuff, and they'd probably drag Justin down too because Justin likes science stuff even if he isn't too sure about the Rangers.

Hailey would commiserate with Pepper while keeping Tommy away from Bruce, because Tommy is chaos personified on a good day and Bruce does not need chaos like Tommy creates chaos. Or attracts it, whatever.

Rose would probably join the Science Boys and bring Tony with her to discus robots and Ronnie would hover around the edge of the Tasha/Vida thing with Taylor because Natasha is that awesome.

Will would also bond with Clint, in a mutual spy appreciation thing even if Will isn't really a sniper type of guy.

Trent would be there, but he wouldn't really connect much with the Avengers unless he talks art with Steve, he'll be hoering of Kira in that way he has, the one that's possessive and overprotective but in a good way because that's what Trent does. He loves his partner, and he looks out for her, by being there. He helps her without her having to ask and kicks butt with her if she needs it, but mostly he lets her fight her own battles because Kira can do that. Trent's just willing to help out, if she needs him to.

Conner would be banned from the labs about five minutes out but Ethan would hover and geek out over Jarvis and just be awed by Tony and Bruce, although more Tony because Tony does computer stuff.

Kim and Kat would probably bond with Pepper too, while Trini would talk with all of them before focusing on Bruce. Tanya would skirt around dealing with Tony after Dustin's done and Aisha would talk about animals with Thor and the uses of the Allspeak and animals. Zack would be a bit lost in it all until Rhodey showed up and they would have drinks and discuss how they ended up with these people, because really.
Rocky would handle the bar with Adam to keep him company but Adam would also get on with Coulson and Bruce, being the quiet and competent sort. Andros would be so completely out of place he'd probalby hide on the balcony until Zhane and Ashley frog marched him back in to talk to Steve while Karone would avoid Clint out of respect for his distaste of magic and observe Natasha because, again, Natasha is awesome.

Kendrix would probably crash the science party with Damon and Kai would talk to Coulson aboud dealing with these crazy people, I mean seriously, how do you do it every day. Maya would hit it off with Thor in the whole, Earthians, who really gets them and Leo and Mike would join the other reds talking shop with Steve. (Cause that's where TJ would be while Carlos joined the Clint group and Cassie would probably drag Phantom off to see the rest of New York because it's New York, with her husband, why wouldn't she go out to an expensive and fancy dinner, paid for by the Black AmEx Pepper slipped her before they left?)

Carter would be in the Red Appreciation group while Dana would join Pepper and Hailey. Kelsey would join Clint's group because she's an action girl and keep them from killing Joel when Joel got too obnoxious. (He's an idiot, but he's her team.)


Seriously, I could just keep going because I can totally mix and match this group for the fun of it. What can I say? I just have way too much fun.

Mary Sue is a character trope more commonly found in fanfiction, although they can also be found in original stories. Here are some comments made about Mary Sue:

Went to see it yesterday. Movie was awesome and totally alters headcannon for Clint. (Seriously, all he needed was the bow and I would have been all, 'Oh, it's Clint on a secret mission)

Funny story:

 First, I get to the theater, buy my ticket and walk in. They have LED things that tell you which theater shows what movie, so I found the one for Bourne and for a moment, I thought I saw a different title, so I checked a second time, but no, it says 'The Bourne Legacy'. So I go in, pick a seat and wait, and wait, finally the previews come on. And then we get this live action number with these, well, they looked like giant dolls, who start dancing around the stage and singing. I'm thinking, we'll this has to be some movie about the actors right, just a long preview.

but NO

IT'S NOT


See, Bourne Legacy was only shown at two times, 6 and 9pm, before that, they were showing this kid's movie. They forgot to switch the reels.


Still, the movie was good when they fixed it.

YAY!

 So, last night I had a guy correct his interviewer on the fiscal/physical difference and then spell fiscal 'f-i-c-a-l' no joke. It was exceptionally funny to me and I'm still not sure why. Just felt like sharing with yall.

Well, yesterday was a bust for all concerned. I didn't get much writing in after I got up and didn't get home until after midnight. Did stay up late enough on Saturday night to get a word count in though so I'm still rocking the word count.

Figured out how to work the lead in to the first conflict point (all the rising tension will be fun)

Figured out how to work out the follow through to the conflict point,

Since I'm at the first point of the lead in, I figure I can work out the rest soon enough. I mean, I know what's going to happen, in a vague sense, but I don't know what my four points are between the conflict and the discovery, and then there's from the discovery to the climax, and then the lead in to the next part.

Then I have to go in and work on what I've already written, add in all the descriptions I've skipped out on, add in all the little scenes that help.

Then I have to track down a beta to tell me if it works (hoping Rye's able to do that)

Then I have to fix what the beta points out

Then I have to design the cover

Hopefully, I can get it to my beta before November so I can work on the sequel then, and I can get the cover designed and the story published for Christmas. I'm planning to go through Lulu again, of course.

 Trebon wrinkled his nose a little, “I’m trading bows for bows, it doesn’t seem fair.” He paused and looked at Kris, “why is it that my favorite thing in the world, bows for archery, is spelled the same as one of my least favorite, bows for protocol and ettiquite?”

“Because you’re weird,” Kris replied.

Novel sneak peek there.

Also, I've hit plus 10,000 words! I'm totes rocking my writing right now. I'm kind of stalling because I don't really know what happens once Trebon gets settled in, but I think I'm going to skip the eval part and plunge straight into lessons. I haven't decided yet, I know there's going to be some issues with history, (Qua'nat history being that Qua'nat City has always been the capital and Nat'rean history being that it's only been around for ten generations), and geography, which will actually be fun because Treb's got some back up on that one. I'll just draw a subject out of the hat and write about Treb's issues with it, I think.

 Just finished banging out the next bit of Word Count for NaNo. This time, it wasn't as long, but it was past the needed number, so I'm happy. I can't figure out how I just managed to write 2000 plus words about breakfast, without once mentioning actual food, but I did. Thought of a few things that I kind of need to know for the story itself.

There are things I haven't figured out, like the MC lived with these nomads who are officially known as the "Riders of Eagle's Nest" or some such, but are essentially an entirely different kingdom/whatever of elves who might be loyal to the Qua'nat King because of treaty, but who don't consider themselves bound by the Qua'nat laws.

I don't know how to explain all of this without a ton of exposition, but I'm hoping I can figure it out as go.

I'm planning to do my word count by picking one scene at a time and writing it, trying to maintain a steady time line. Then I can go back and fit in some more transitional scenes or such later on in the second draft. So far I have:

MC comes home
MC has breakfast with parents/oldest brothers before leaving to be sequestered until he's of age

I know what the next two scenes are for certain and I have some vague ideas for the third and maybe a fourth (I'm not sure how soon I should put the stresser in the story. I'm thinking there should be two "before" scenes, because there's the one that kind of explains a few things about why the MC left, and then there should also be one to realy highlight the issues the MC is having in the sequestered palace, but I don't know if both of them could be worth two thousand words. I certainly intend to try.

Then, of course, is the stresser scene, which is followed by two pivotal scenes and possibly a filler scene. Then there's the "take action" scene which is followed by the "montage" scene and the "adventuring scene" then the next specific conflict scene followed by the lead in to the next book scene and ending with the resolution.

All told it could be called eighteen chapters.

When I write the second draft, I'm going to have to add in more discriptions for surroundings. Third draft will focus more on action, and fourth draft will be spit polished before I prep for publishing.

I guess you can tell I'm excited about this story. I need to sleep now or I might start writing the campfire chapter. As is, I'll probably write it today to help my word count.

After all, I'm not looking to write the exact number of words every day, isn't the purpose to hit 50,000 before midnight on Aug 30 afterall?
guardian_of_hope: Together We Are Strong (Default)
 Day one word count accomplished. And I kind of like the ending point. It struck me as I was writing it that I kind of summed up the MC's whole conflict for the whole book.

Trapped between two worlds, and never really a part of either of them

It makes me happy when stuff like that happens.  It's like, suddenly, the world falls into place when you really find the words to discribe your MC's motivation. Although, I'm a little annoyed because my 'v' key keeps sticking. It gave me a gem earlier though "neer lie" instead of never live.

Hope any other Camp NaNo people are having as much fun as I am!

guardian_of_hope: Together We Are Strong (Default)
Wow, I've not been around to post in a month!

So, what's going on with me...

New Website! Dragon Heart Ink, being a way for me to share more about my original fiction (as opposed to Hope Unconquered which was always about the fanfiction more than anything.) Plus I have two blogs to maintain... The Rainbow Brotherhood and Hope Unconquered.

The Rainbow Brotherhood is all about, well, The Rainbow Brotherhood, my complex Power Rangers universe. Hope Unconquered is about writing for the sake of writing. I'm hoping I can keep them going with regular posts wandering through the different ideas I have. (Not going so well right now).

Learning to do layered paintings, mostly for the fun of it.

That's about it, really. Not much else to say.

Camp NaNo

guardian_of_hope: Together We Are Strong (Default)
 With Camp NaNo coming up, I thought I'd take a moment and reflect on my writing. I find it occasionally amusing that I have a lot of stories going at the same time, but recently it dawned on me that I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.

I've read about writers who talk about how many stories they have going, how they can't "afford" writer's block or that writer's block doesn't exist. I think I agree with them. Sometimes, I don't know what to write and I back off, but mostly, I just start something else.

Today, for instance, I have six WIPs to work on, but I decided to start working on the next of my Samurai stories.

Why?

Because I'm about to be a NaNo panster rebel and write two novels in June. I think I'm going to focus first on one story and then the other, but not be exclusive. I'll also stick with writing fanfic sometimes, but usually when I get ahead in my word count.

I think I'll write that sequel to Wayward Son soon too. Give me a little cushion of work before I get bogged down in originals.

Then there's my blog The Rainbow Brotherhood which is where I write about what's going on behind the Brotherhood. The things I can't, won't or haven't fit into a story somewhere.

Plus Tumblr and I'm trying to post some of my random original stories on fictionpress.com (Not that I'll be sharing that here just yet.)

I'm thinking that I'm going to cut back on my fanfic work soon. I mean, I have my Avengers fic, Not My Sins that I just started which I won't abandon. Then there's the Wayward Son sequel, but I think that's enough for "Atlantis Knights". Not Canon Samurai Series has two stories to go. I need to finish Get in Gear, and Petal To The Metal, but that's it for Summer's Boys. The Brotherhood is like the biggest part of what I've got going.

Maybe I won't start Jenna's Song (The Wayward Son sequel) just yet. That can back burner for a while longer I think. I can, instead, pull up The Blog and see what I can do with that. I found almost the entire thing in my Google Docs, which I still can't believe.

I can work on some other original ideas too. I mean, I want to work on Elven Journies, and maybe revisit Lightspeed Academy, and the clans.

Whoa.

I forgot about the clans.

The thing is, I should start writing more original stuff. Serious more original stuff. I shouldn't have to have a not for profit dictate my original stories writing.

This is my resolution for my 27th year. Made a month after my birthday, but it still counts.

 “This is Summer,” Scott said, indicating the yellow ranger.

“How do you label her?” Sydney said tartly.

Scott winked at Summer, “Summer’s our yellow, but she’s also a ‘pretty pink princess’ deep inside.”

Summer socked him the shoulder, hard.

“See,” Flynn said, “she’s pretty, smart, delicate.” An open palm stike to his chest robbed him of breathe.

“Kind, gentle,” Scott finished and fell back under Summer’s abrupt knee to the gut.

It worked though, the “SPD Rangers” weren’t leveling the blasters at them, even if they hadn’t quite holstered them yet.


Pedal to the Metal piece, at one point, I thought it was funny(?)

 Decided to make a blog to write specifically about my Power Rangers verse, The Rainbow Brotherhood. Mostly about the little things I see as interesting which don't get fleshed out in the stories.

On the subject of Lexi and Leigh Oliver. Who are they?

Lexi and Leigh are the children of Tommy Oliver and his wife Samantha (OFC) in the Rainbow Brotherhood. By all accounts they are a boy, Lexi, and a girl, Leigh. But are they?

 Racing, it's not just about the speed and the danger. It's a business. Each team rises and falls on the success of the drivers, it's how you get sponsers, pay your bills, and keep your name in the press. I've been the face of a team since I was eighteen years old, I've been signing autographs since I won my first race. Excuse me for being famous for hard work and God given talent. Not that it's any of your business.

I have kind of fallen in love with Doctor Who recently. In fact, I'm writing fanfiction about it. I figured I might could share it around here. Something new, you know? Here's what I have so far (not to be considered to be in any sort of chronilogical order except that the first one is the beginning of the adventure and I plan to write the last one as the end of the adventure, the rest are jumbled up in between.)

When I decided on my next Anna the FBI Agent stint, I worked it out. I figured my ritual, the whys and werefores, and all of it. I had quotes, I had plot, and drama and EVERYTHING.

Then I decided I didn't like my unsub and her motive and I change it.

Thing is, I made no note of the change, didn't add any of my new characters, nothing, leaving me scrambling for notes and information in the chapters I've already written, something I was HOPING to forego.

Yeah, I'm not the most organized person on the planet.

They were rescued young, but not young enough. They were old enough to have memories, old enough to know what was happening to them. Sometimes he thinks they hoped the twins were young enough to heal with few scars, but he can't tell them that the scars are already there. He can only watch them in silence and make sure his brother is never alone with them. They say the twins can trust them, but he doesn't know what that means. They say they're allowed to talk now, he hopes one day, he'll be able to.
