Season 2?
18 years ago
And, the first story arc is DONE. I'm hoping to take it a little easier for the second arc, as I've been driving the plot pretty heavily. Need to get some more time in for Trent and especially Elayne, they've been suffering for it, that's for sure. I need to stop picking on poor Branson for at least, oh... one chapter or so. I feel so bad for him, I've been just running roughshod over him for the last three, maybe four stories.
There's a complete copy of the whole arc in my Scraps. It may or may not be easier than working with all the separate files, not sure, but there it is, if you'd like it. I don't really have 'sketch' versions of my ideas, it'd just be a collection of one-liners and so on, so I figure I might as well use the space this way.
I'll try to have the three appendix files completely updated in the next week or so; I haven't done the Thunder Child material, and there's a LOT of characters and tech in there, and I should do a once over on the Shadowdancer material, too, I figure. I know they haven't gotten a lot of reads; see below for my reasoning.
Again, I reiterate, if there's something you'd like to see me cover in the coming weeks, don't hesitate to drop me a line and let me know! I can't promise that I will be able to cover every, or even any, requests, as I'll need to be able to research it fairly extensively if I'm to write about it, but I will give them a fair hearing, at any rate.
Additionally, I again note that if anyone would like to write in my particular vision of the Gargoyles universe, feel free! There's Superstition & The Sword, of course, and with there being some eighty-seven thousand people aboard the Thunder Child task force, I'm sure it would be possible for more than one author to write in that setting, but additionally, there's now another great opportunity within Shadowdancer proper.
Minor spoilers of the next story ahead, if you don't want to read: The Dawn Patrol is by no means a traditional unit. President Maza knows of the unique needs of the Gargoyles, as well as some of the other Races, and so it's in a way less of a proper military unit and more like a mercenary unit: DHS gets a report from the FBI about a paranormal happening, they send it to Dawn Patrol's base, where it can be taken by any of the available Platoons. A Clan doesn't have to live there, as 1st Platoon certainly does not (you'll meet them next story), but the facilities are available whenever they are desired. And Clan is a loose term in this case: Mutates, Weres, even Fey and Dragons are welcome, as long as they can work together.
Additionally, President Maza is off to other parts of the country, to recruit other Clans. What this means to my fellow writers/artists: If you're willing to write up another Clan, you can 'join' the Dawn Patrol, and effectively star in your own parallel series. Additionally, my offer of writing for Chicago Clan is also still open. Either way, all I ask is that you let me know, offer a little bit of credit, and be willing to take a few suggestions. I'm not George Lucas; I won't say, "It's not my vision, you can't dooooo this!!!!", I'd just like a little forewarning if you plan to nuke L.A. off the map, for instance. Nor would I say, "You can't post this! It's missing a comma!" :)
P.S. Keith David is doing voice work for the upcoming Transformers movie. That could be pretty cool, even though I was never a huge fan of the original show. Hugo friggin' Weaving plays Megatron, it'd probably be worth it for that alone!
P.P.S. Go see Spider-Man 3. I haven't seen it yet, but I intend to shortly. The power of the Dark Side compels you! ^_^
P.P.P.S. Especially with the Dawn Patrol, but otherwise if desired... if any of you have a personal character you'd like to see in here, drop me a line. Least I can do for my readers, eh?
