I'm not sure how many readers have taken the time to Read my fanfic, THE SLEEPING SWORD, (never mind Enjoyed it,) but, for those who did/do, THANK YOU; so Very much for that. I hope to never disappoint, and if you few, you merry few have any character requests you'd like to see, please PM me, and I'll gladly figure out a cool way to introduce them.
Again, thank you so much for the support, and thank you HISSTANK.COM, for offering me such a Badass site to be able to flex my (miniature, mind you) creative muscles here... Jose (NEUSPEAQ)

I need help. I want to write, and get some of these ideas out of my head. But I really don't know where to start. I've never been a big fan of the G.I.Joe in the traditional since. I have always believed the Joes to be an elite unit, but for many years they were a mere Mercenary group. I never applied the Joe stickers to my vehicles, and viewed them as more Ass Kicking version of the A-team. My Designation for the modern Joe team was (Global Interdiction Joint Operations Endeavour) G.I.J.O.E. a NATO Spec-Ops team. Cobra/Destro's Iron Grenadiers , I believed was cool enough to function on their own. When the movie came out needless to say I was disappointing, but my interest in Joes was renewed. As a prior service member and veteran, I want to pass that legacy down to my son. I want to create story lines and missions for his crack team of Elite soldiers vs. Cobra terrorist faction. I guess I'm just trying to figure out where to start in my own Joe-verse. I want a realistic feel and something plausible in Modern day warfare with out alienating die-hard Joe fans.

Mike - you and I have the same idea. That is the same approach I have on GI Joe: Aftermath. I want it to seem like it could happen in today's world. That is why I don't mention campy stuff like the Joe pets (Polly and Timber). And try to relate real world things like Stalker Securities and it's real life counter part Blackwater. The thing about writing is play it out in your head like a movie. In your head you kinda have to work on the ending, then the climax and work your way back on how you will get there. Have the ending as a goal and you write your story like a road map on how to get there. At least that's how I do it. Use things that inspire you. Books you read or movies you've seen to bring the action sequences to life as you write. Hope this helps and good luck.

And stick with what you know. If you aren't comfortable with international finance or circuses, minimise Tomax and Xamot, for example. |
