I don't know. I love characters like Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow to death but I couldn't possibly find the "umpf!" to write about them. I mean it's been done for the last 2 bajillion years.
I'd much rather flesh out something that could actually use it, or perhaps change the fans perception on something. Which is what I tried to do with Dreadnoks. Even that was on the cusp of being boring, they're borderline too popular. What could you possibly do with a character like Cobra Commander? Hama has so many twists and turns to these guys in the early days I'd rather work on the faceless characters. A day in the life of a Frag-Viper, the day Nemesis Inforcer was created, a green shirt and blue shirt meeting hand to hand on the battle field......Mainframe in a situation where he relies more on his USMC skills than his hacking skills. All stuff I'd love to see but too lazy to do lol. |

Lol... I love your work on The Fixer and know what you mean about it being easier to create your own characters. I just try to recycle the old ones, update them maybe without all the background twists.

I went with an America's Elite Flint for my story because I thought he was underused in that series - never really showed how he got to be so grizzled.

I've been thinking of making a Cobra's Creek fanfiction a Joe themed teen drama.Not sure if I should post it in spam or the fanfic section.

I'd love to get involved with this. I have a degree in creative writing and I have been working on some short stories, none of which I've completed yet, so I haven't shared them with anyone. I'm working on some stuff set in the Vietnam era, when Stalker and Tommy and SE were LRPs and later running recon for SOG. The problem is I don't have as much time to write, so I get into it for a few days and then set it aside for a couple weeks, and then start back up.

Very cool idea, I wish I'd thought of it.
As you guys probably noticed I have 2 on the go and 1 on hiatus (see sig). I'm too busy atm to really right much, combined with some minor writers block, though I do have one thing on the block to be written. I don't have any formal training in creative writing, I just enjoy doing it and have read a lot of things, so I thought I'd try my hand. Like most of you guys I also try to pick up on lesser-used characters, but even when I use the 'big' characters, I try to change their backstories to be more unique and different from what they were originally, even if I borrow some core details. I find its a good mix, because people are somewhat familiar with where things come from, but there's always a new twist to keep them guessing. |

Cool. I'll have to revisit it later when the wife goes to bed. She's waiting for me to come and watch a movie with her, so I'll say adios for now!
