Movie Thoughts to Fanfiction

I'm actually having a hard time deciding what to type about for this post.  At first, I thought I would do something about tropes in film since this is the season we see a lot of repeat tropes.  It's Christmas so how do we present the meaning of the season?   Though I have to admit Disney+'s Noelle is definitely an exception that I look forward to watching multiple times.  I'll hopefully get a review about this one done by the end of this month...

But I wasn't sure how to start it or even where to focus.  Then I realized, I also wanted to get a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline figured out, but that's going to be so time-consuming, I don't know how long it would take, especially since the timeline will be determined in part by which ones are considered a part of it and which ones are just extras - Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk - because there are so many remakes that putting them in one timeline will give us plot holes no matter which version to use, and then there are the television series like Agent Carter, Agents of Shield, Daredevil (which also has a movie...), and Jessica Jones.  Of course, there are more, but figuring out which ones get included and which ones are for a different universe version of the series.  There are a large number of versions of DC's iconic characters on par with the X-Men part of the MCU, though by no means is X-Men the only one in Marvel to have been recreated both on the big and small screens. 

Then I got some more ideas for fanfiction crossovers.  I got reminded of several other things I need to do to be able to write them, too.  First off, what if Wolverine was on the ship in the Riddick Trilogy?  Wolverine, a man as deadly as Riddick and with better healing ability and easier access to weapons, would definitely have some issues with the group and with Caroline Fry most importantly.  There would need to be some back story and he'd probably be able to either hear or smell the creatures living there.  I think he'd be practically on par with Riddick with a few advantages, mainly the fact that he wouldn't be as badly affected by the light, while still being able to defend himself and hear what was going on around him.  After escaping the planet, when they get picked up what if he found some of the other mutants in that floating personal museum.  Then there's how he'd react to the rest of what would occur there.  Then when dealing with the Necromongers, how would his mutant abilities change what we know to have happened?

Then I thought of if St. Trinian's was a sister school to St. Brutus' and if Harry had ended up being sent there after being expelled either before the second year or after the fourth year.  I'm a bit more enamored with it being after fourth.  Meeting the girls at the start of the first movie and setting up a system with them that allows him to keep using and learning magic without them realizing it.  After all, it was accidental magic that blew up his aunt.  This could also give Sirius Black a safe place to stay.  He might reveal himself during the second movie of St. Trinian's, but it could definitely mean a lot of different things.  One thing I could totally see Harry doing is making it so St. Trinian's doesn't have to worry about closing down...I think I'll go to work on this a bit more now.

NaNoWriMo 2019 Part 3/5

At the time I started typing this I had 9337 words, not including the words in this blog post.  Part of this has been me trying to find out what shows are on Disney+ for a post I had started and will likely turn into a four-part blog with links to one hundred reviews, but that would be a future post, most assuredly.  In my Assassination Classroom Yu-Gi-Oh crossover, I have gotten them to the restaurant and they were last discussing the condiments that Karma brought. Joey was assuring Tristan that the condiments wouldn't actually hurt any of them.  I know male pregnancy has occurred in the past of when this fic takes place, but it isn't common and they keep it a secret just like they do about Korosensei.  I have a feeling though that this could bring forth a large number of secrets during the dinner.  After all, the children don't have to keep a filter on their mouths at family dinners which is what this is despite two outsiders joining and Joey was one of the pregnant males.  Like I said though, this doesn't focus on that time period nor is male pregnancy a common thing.  He was not pregnant because he went through a gender transformation either.  The lore behind why he was able to get pregnant will likely be explained, possibly in bits and pieces, but it will be explained in the fic.  All I'm going to put about it is that it's unique to only a few of the Yu-Gi-Oh males.  No one else is able to so far as anyone knows and if there are others, they aren't going to come forth in this fic.  I also don't plan to keep this fic going with sequels and a huge number of chapters. 

So if I manage to finish this and get it posted maybe I can return to some of my past works.  I do have another where male pregnancy is possible and Harry ends up with a miscarriage, but there is so much more to it than that and male pregnancy is something that I personally am unlikely to make the main point of my stories.  The miscarriage alerts Professor Snape and Madame Pomfrey aware of Harry being abused/tortured depending on how a person looks at things.  Personally, I feel Umbridge's treatment of Harry and the other students is torture, but that's not what this post is supposed to be about.  This supposed to be about my current WIP(work in progress) and how I'm doing in NaNo working on said WIP.  So, just a small heads up, I still don't have a title for the thing.  I have it labeled as YGO AC under my works on the new NaNoWriMo website.  There's a really good chance I'll finish the story but still need an appropriate title and yes I do want to continue working on Caged and A New Time, but I've had computer issues that lost parts of each work and trying to figure out where those particular stories were going has been a little harder.  Caged will be much harder because the inspiration for that was a dream and the dream that started has already been recorded into the story, while A New Time was my take on a crossover between Harry Potter and D. Grayman.

I also plan to eventually get back to my original works especially those set in Rock Falls though the Eerie Estates setting could be fun to delve into again...  For those who are on track or ahead in their writing, congrats on keeping up or completing the goal early.  For those like me who are still struggling along and eking out a few words here and there, just keep plugging along.  If it weren't for blog posts and various posts and other writings, I wouldn't have even hit 5K, but words are words and who knows what will be needed for that story when you're done with the editing and revision! 

NaNoWriMo 2019 Part 1/5

NaNoWriMo has begun again and other than a large number of fanfictions that I want to finish as well as a large number of originals that I want to either start/restart or finish I don't know what I want to work on.  Most likely I will be working on fanfics which I've got three that I think I'll be working on.

The first is a crossover I've been working on for quite some time.  Harry Potter instead of being taken into the Dursley household was put up for adoption through an orphanage the police ended up putting him in.  He was adopted by a foreign couple who would later divorce and separate him from his sister.  He would find friends and go through a lot of weird stuff before being found once again by the British Wizarding World.  His friends would not let him go alone when he gets told about how he's expected to be someone who is said to have been targeted by a serial killer and been the killer's only survivor.  With Seto Kaiba funding the trip, wizarding Britain is definitely going to get a wake-up call as they keep trying to say that Katsuya Jonouchi is Harry Potter and that despite having never met the boy or talked to him, they know everything about him.  Obviously, this one is a Harry Potter and Yu-Gi-Oh crossover.

The second is a Harry Potter Gundam Wing crossover I started recently.  This one is set at the end of fourth year when the students get off the train and instead of going straight home, Harry and many other muggleborn and raised are taken to a government building to be registered in accordance with a new law that was introduced to help locate families that have been separated.  I haven't yet decided exactly what gets discovered but I do know that a paternal family member for Harry is found.  I don't know if it'll be a sibling, cousin, or even his own father, I'm still trying to figure that out.  Hell, it might be both a sibling and his father, after all, he can't be sure what he saw in the graveyard, can he?  

Finally, on the fanfic scene, I have the idea for a crossover between Assassination Classroom and Yu-Gi-Oh.  It's set after all the students have finished school and are well established in their careers and for some families.  After having been told that they had to find a new school for the Kaiba and Moto children, Joey goes to check out a school meeting an old classmate as the teacher for the children placed in the most problematic class - Nagisa.  In my mind, there is a lot more going on and the issue is the secrets that Tristan and Joey are keeping puts the friends from both sets against each other.  Other than that I don't know how long I'll make this story or if it'll be a one-shot capture of that specific instance. 

I'm likely to work on other stories as well.  Some are likely to be original pieces, but there will also be other fanfics included.  After all, these are only three fanfics and I can guarantee that I have a minimum of twenty that have been started either on a computer or on paper and I'm constantly finding more ideas for fanfics.

As for my progress for NaNoWriMo, I've managed 3861 words in the first two full days.  Hope you guys are getting some writing done!
