Thank you dash, the barrage of edits and posts about the new Jason and Duke team-up convinced me to buy the DC New Talent Showcase 2017. Am really enjoying it so far.
Red Hood and Duke: Role Call – even if thanks to posts had seen pretty much the entire comic, still really excellent. Solid characterization for Jason, love him and Duke interacting together, plus Catwoman! Seriously add in Steph and Alfred and it would be the short list of my favorite Batfam members
Katana: To the Hilt – a very simple but well-done Katana story, and the bit with ghost adviser Maseo made me desire a video game where you play as Katana and the disembodied voice of your dead husband is the helpful guide/tutorial/pointer character – and then a gut-punch beautiful dream sequence at the very end after you defeat the big bad where you’re briefly reunited with your husband and you cry over your controller
Nightwing: What We Talk About When We Talk About Family – It was okay. Stressed the found family Batfam (though bitter me bitter over Jason’s absence) I’m sure Grayson fans could have more detailed options on if the character felt right or not. Action was good. Can Count Vertigo’s half-brother and his husband and infant daughter be something that pops up again? I like dynastic drama and it gets a story hook the next time Green Arrow needs to bring that villain back in.
Poison Ivy: Silent Screams – I’m not a huge Poison Ivy fan, but this felt pitch perfect. She defeated the villain without feeling softened into a hero, Harley/Ivy fan-service mentions, the and coloring was gorgeous and the type of style I like. Am still laughing because of course Pam would be the only one to care about dead kudzu. Would totally read this team of writer/artists if they did another character/quick plot
Deadshot: Mercy – It is ridiculously, stupidly comic book plot. Decent comicky stupid revive backstory dead relative to be alive as part of the one-shot villain’s villainy, predictable resolution. Nothing bad, just not my tastes.
Doctor Fate: The Cost of Magic – some panels I liked the art, some not. Bought the recent Doctor Fate series but haven’t read it yet, so not familiarly versed in Doctor Fate and Nabu and everything. Didn’t dislike it, not really into it.
Wonder Woman: The Archive – Good. Way too short, felt like it was missing pages of the regular WW book, like it was half of chapter of set-up for the regular arcs.
When the first thing I did was draw each rider and their brightly colored matching pegasus that had a color scheme with least two or three complementary colors? Because it was like I was designing this for a kids’ merchandise cartoon I swear that was the aesthetic (the squad leader was the older woman in mostly hot pink and coral orange, the rest of the squad was blue, purples, greens, yellows – the secretly evil twin sister was yellow-green with gray and red accents – her chapter was in red) Look it’s been almost twenty years and I lost those pages and the typed copy (though I think somewhere in the bottom of a chest is the saved drawing). But I had a large set of colored markers and an equally large collection of gel pens in middle school, and damn if I wasn’t going to use them.
1) How many works in progress do you currently have?
Well, that matters on if the “Rose Red” stuff is two stories, up to four or five. Then Release from Bondage, Of Ingwë, the other three Band of the Red Hand, Findis writes Voltron, Faron and friends in Valinor during the 2nd Age fluff fic(s)…. Let’s say I have somewhere around ten works in progress, be it only a few sentences up to half-finished chapters.
2) Do you/would you write fanfiction?
Yes. Almost exclusively Silm for pure fanfic; the other fandoms get shoved into borderline original fiction
3) Do you prefer paper books or ebooks?
Both. I read series where it’s more convenient to have them on a kindle, but I still love paperbacks. Even my comics I have a mix of both.
4) When did you start writing?
Twelve. wrote almost 99 pages of a fantasy story about pegasi riders, each chapter written with a different colored gel pen appropriate to that chapter’s pov character.
5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?
I post to tumblr and AO3, so yeah. In general my mutuals; I’d trust any of y’all as betas even if I rarely request one. Nobody outside of my internet circle, however.
6) Where is your favourite place to write?
Home computer.
7) Favorite childhood book?
Anne of Green Gables, followed by The Secret Garden
8) Writing for fun or publication?
FUN
9) Pen and paper or computer?
Computer more often, but I still write using a pencil and paper sometimes when at work.
10) Have you ever taken any writing classes?
No and never desired to
11) What inspires you to write?
I love these characters and they need more love and attention. Here’s a fun AU, let’s make a fusion to change their setting. Also, spite.
“DCEU Cyborg is more than the comic relief that we saw in Teen Titans. In fact, there’s no comedy in his origin story.”
“In an interview with Geek Magazine, Fisher discussed how Cyborg is meant to represent people with disabilities, saying: ““I’ve had lots of fans who come out and say ‘Listen, I can relate to Cyborg because I lost a limb,’ or ‘I have this cochlear implant.’ It’s one of those things when you actually start seeing it, when you actually start hearing about it, that made Cyborg more relevant to me than I think he ever had been up until that point.”” Cyborg’s journey to self-acceptance was always a conscious decision by Zack Snyder.”
