Great thread man.
Believe it or not fan fiction was a way I used to play with my Joes. I would literally name the mission and write a plot outline then set up my figures and act as if my written outline was official paper work, I was top brass. I had written so many little storys here and there that never left a notebook or hard drive and then I found the Tank. My 1st crack at fiction had Shockwave going back to Detroit only to find that his old partner Alex Murphy....had gone through some changes. I have no friggin' clue where that thread went. As far as Fixer goes, I'm learning as I go. For one when I go back and read the stuff I did in the beginning the grammar and punctuation are an absolute abortion. The more I dig into writing the more that it's bothering me. I just remind myself it's only fan fiction and you're still learning. I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea but I'm having fun with it. I try to write it like I was explaining to an artist what I would want to see if it was an ongoing title. If Fixer did anything for me, aside from let me blow off steam, it gave me some balls to get this stuff off of my hardrive. I actually just put out an ad on craigslist looking for an artist who might want to collaborate and illustrate another story I'm working on.........Halloween Knight. He's much cooler than Moon Knight :) Glad you guys are here. Last edited by PitViper; 12-12-2011 at 08:20 PM.. |

Truth be told I started writing Flint's Loss right after I called off my engagement to a girl I had been with for a few years. It was a way to get some demons out of my head that had been building up for months without my usual tendency to find a bottle of Gin and climb inside.

If I couldn't vent, I'd probably get into trouble, keep writing man. |

I'm working on this one right now-
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...anization.html I wanted to do a sort of ” what if” type scenario. Cobra Commander has been elected president and has framed the Joes for murder. I wanted to break the stereotype of all the characters, as well as spotlight less popular characters. For example Snake Eyes is a pill popping alcoholic who is realizing he isn't invincible anymore. Clutch has just teamed up with Storm Shadow (what?) to try and find Snake Eyes. Stalker and Roadblock were imprisoned and thrown in a cell with Mutt. I have fun writing but it's tough to find time. I admit I don't read any of the other fan fiction on here. Sorry guys. Problem is I don't really have time to keep up with them. I had a story going (I Was There) about a mercenary who starts at the bottom of Cobra as a trooper and works his way up to Cobra Commander's right hand man. However I took a break from writing it and ended up losing every idea I had going on so I basically scraped it.

There are some authors on here who just feel the need to list names of their favorite characters without any development or even so much as a modicum of story. Hate those.

The name never makes a character but some people may feel all readers already know the background on a character.
Personally I like to develop a know character in a different light than the old story lines. To give an old character a new feel somewhat. |
