You ever just write, and write, and write, and feel like the story you're working on is going nowhere?
It's not that I don't love everything I've written so far for Ninjetti. I think it's good character building, and establishing some important relationships between the Rangers and their families. I also like the idea of the Rangers being allowed to be the teenagers they are and worry about the things that seniors in high school should - which is why prom is a big plot point. (It's gonna get attacked by monsters, but that's besides the point. It's a Power Rangers story, after all.)
I think I've probably started the story at the wrong spot, and what scenes I've written are probably better developed into one-shots to go with the universe that I can post prior to starting Ninjetti proper. I just don't know where else to begin yet, so I know it's better to finish the current draft and see what it looks like and what ideas I have come the end.
I'm also at the point where I'm writing my first MCU characters of this crossover. They're minor characters as far as the MCU is concerned, but also characters I haven't written before, so I'm anxious in my own mind over absolutely nothing. Like I do. They're from Ant-Man, which is one of my newer favorites, and I'm really excited to weave them into the Power Rangers side of things in a way I hope doesn't seem forced. And really, they're just cameos for the span of one scene so I can pick it up waaaay later on. The big MCU character comes in at the very, very end.
Aaaaaand I have completely slacked off on editing. I'm the actual fucking worst. ._. I think once I hit the 35k for Camp, I'm going to stop my lunchtime writing and start editing the hard copy again. It's slow going, but if I don't have a dedicated time for it, I'm just not doing it.
Until then, here's a snippet I rather liked writing this week:
( there's no room for smutty bits in the actual stories but I'm probably going to have to write all this shit as one-shots anyway )
