tiny_ninjaWHOOPS IT'S THURSDAY guess I screwed up this week, my bad.
Anyways. Writing update. Currently starting to piece together a tentative scene outline for Ninjetti, as my Camp NaNo project will be called until it gets an official title. I have a lot of it in my head already, which is helpful, and I've figured out most of the main bits. As always, I'll play around with scene order and add things as necessary, because I never know what I need to write until I'm actually there. I'm carrying over some of the big themes from A Hero Lies In You (namely: found family. soooooooo much fucking found family. You will pry this trope from my cold dead fingers) and laying the seeds of the war to come.
It has occurred to me that, while part 1 had a strong "evil" arc, since I wrote parts from Tommy's point of view while he was evil, I don't necessarily have that yet for Ninjetti. Zedd is obviously a thing, but I haven't put as much work into him yet as he needs. I'll put the bug in Matt's ear and we'll plot in the next few days, since he is my lore guy.
Also finally watched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Holy shit, that didn't hold up. At all. One can argue that it was never good to begin with, but I was also a kid when it came out, and you're allowed to like shitty things when you haven't watched anything better. Q enjoyed it because he's six and things still blow up but man. The only thing I'm keeping from that is Dulcea and it might just be her name and the fact that she's a badass.
....to be fair, Power Rangers in general can inspire some really great things, but as actual shows, they're shit. The 2017 movie did pretty good with reinventing these characters and avoiding stereotypes, and I hope to do the same with my writing.
Also got my nominations in for Press Start. Awwwww yeah. Gonna write some video game goodness this summer!
Beyond that, editing continues. I've been trying to type in my edits as I go so I have less to do at the end. I'm a little worried about how I'm going handle drafting something new while editing, while working on PSL things, but it'll all work out. It always does.

Date: 2019-06-28 01:13 am (UTC)Man, I remember the original Power Rangers movie. My sister took me to see it during the summer time and it was like, us and two other people in the theaters lol I also loved it, because I was a kid, but I doubt that actually meant it was a good movie. I really need to watch the 2017 movie, because between you and the internet, it's like a hidden gem. I'm also just stupid excited about your fic in general :D
Aw yeah noms! :D I got mine in the other day. Just a matter of signing up and getting assignments :D :D :D I hope you have fun with it!

The only one I remember was getting Billy's wolf zord (because it was blue and they didn't have Tommy's white falcon and I was really sad) and my great-grandmother got it for us. I bet that might still be at my grandmother's house in her basket of toys that hasn't been updated in 30 years, lol.
Yesssss! Can't wait to see what we get to write :D
