I'm working on an idea for a spin off from Flint's Loss that involves Chuckles going undercover in the Springfield PD. Hoping to get a mix of the Joeverse with some "normal" everyday occurences.
Like what happens when he pulls over an off-duty Cobra Viper and the Viper pulls out his ID. Still trying to figure out who the main villian would be - Cobra Commander is too easy. |

Seems like a pretty solid storyline. But at some point wouldn't they need some outside help/support?

Subscribed. This forum is going to be very useful to a lot of us. I write constantly, though not fan fiction, so I will be here for advice and critiques. Great idea, Flint.

i also think it would be a good platform to explain some of the origins like dr mindbender being a dentist cobra commander being a used car salesman as his cover and maybe one of the kids dad could be a crimson guard or something

Whenever I get the new TPBs as they come out I have a notebook beside me as I read to jot down small details, quotes or what have you that I want to use in my own work for a sense of familiarity. Quote:

A fair point. lol
Here's something I've been debating a bit. THrowing in mnore details on injuries sustained by various people. I'm in something of a unique position to be able to accurately describe the effects of trauma on the body (without going into excruciating detail), without simply saying "he got shot in the arm". I've been throwing the idea around in my head of being more specific about the effects that would have and the battlefield treatments that the person would need after, but I worry that might bore some readers. What do you guys think? As long as it is balances with some good story telling and doesn't read like a textbook on first aid, then why the hell not. I like realism and grit. Bring on the ulcerated testicles...wait, what? |

I think that's an excellent idea. Tying into the existing mythos is a real plus in my mind.
Whenever I get the new TPBs as they come out I have a notebook beside me as I read to jot down small details, quotes or what have you that I want to use in my own work for a sense of familiarity. If I may make a suggestion how about Night Adder or Croc Master - the chief of police? |

I would reserve judgement until I read something of course, but I suspect that you run the risk of alienating people if you make it too medically accurate - which I think you are thinking too.
As long as it is balances with some good story telling and doesn't read like a textbook on first aid, then why the hell not. I like realism and grit. Bring on the ulcerated testicles...wait, what? I had to :D Yeah that is my worry. I find the stuff facinating, but how much do other people really want to know. I do have an idea planned out on how to do a test run to gague response. I don't know if you read mine at all, but in the story "Twilight" one of the Joes is horifically injured during a mission. I forget the file name but eventually he becomes Robojoe. I'm planing on doing a bit of a medical drama on how the heck they patch him up and turn him into that. If it goes over well I can figure out just what level of detail to include going forward. If it flops, then I know to leave it out and have gotten it out of my system. Though if it works it opens the door to some great stories about biological weapons. |
