I am sooo happy to read that! I personally enjoy Elena more, if only because I feel like she has changed and grown and I am curious to see where this journey will take her. I do like Katherine, but for awhile it just seemed like she was playing puppermaster over Damon and Stephan. If she comes back, I'd like to see more of her character and not just devious plots.<br /><br />And Catra, well just wait for Pat 2. I have mapped out so much for Catra that will show many sides to her and why she is the way she is and I hope to also push it even further than just looking into what made her so evil. I love nothing more in stories where someone who is seen as being so vile can find a way to be redeemable. But, I must say, Catra will be doing some really awful things before that happens. <br /><br />As for Adora, I hinted briefly at her role as a member of the Horde, but I like the idea of exloring this person who is now so good and can become She-Ra, but has to live with her actions. Because Adora is not a villain, but she hasn't always been innocent either. It is all leading up to a great story that I really hope people will stick with. <br /><br />I'm also so excited for next season's Vampire Diaries!Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-41964154484968399142012-06-16T11:53:52.598-05:002012-06-16T11:53:52.598-05:00did you read the news?

Well her compassion will be her big emotion. She's gonna protect and rescue folks. I kinda like that- I always thought she was way cooler and tougher than the twilight girl. <br />But Nina Dobrev is just -ggrrrr HOT! yum. And I think I may be more into her as Katherine. Maybe cuz I dated a girl named Katherine and she was gorgeous too-or maybe cuz I like bad girls. You know I love catra. But I dunno-I would be torn about which girl to like better-the goodness is kinda sexy too. Maybe it's a she-ra catra question. Why is it that girls are painted so much more black and white than guys? it's like catra=evil adora=good but Damon =gray area Stephan=good with a gray area. Is it a double standard in fiction? <br />I still can't tell if you plan to paint catra in any kind of flattering light. But at least u are giving her depth, Katherine has some depth, but they didn't explore her enough. Like, she turned around mid-way thru the season and was willing to save Damon and sacrifice her life for it, but in season 2 she didn't seem to give a shit about him and only cared about Stephan and herself.<br />but the big question is: is the Dobrev better as a bad girl or a good girl? I would like your perspective because you aren't sexually attracted to her, and are therefore not biased.<br />And what would an Elena Katherine vamp fight be like? hmmmspazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-18361294907560921372012-06-11T11:00:34.891-05:002012-06-11T11:00:34.891-05:00Well I have a lot to say about this comment! First...Well I have a lot to say about this comment! First of all, I completely forgot about the Klaus/Tyler switch-a-roo on the season finale. I was a bit confused by all that because they had been doing it throughout the season and it was starting to get confusing. I for one get way too confused on plot points like that. If I'm not keeping a score card, I miss who is in who. Plus I was still more shocked by the whole ending with Elena. I had no idea they were going to go in that direction.<br /><br />As for the concept of rape with these vampire shows. I do feel that when Damon or any of the other vampires hypnotizes a woman into sex or food, that it is a form of rape. I mean it all depends on what the woman would do if she wasn't hypnotized. If a woman was down for sex with a vamp and a few bite marks, that would be different, but Damon and other vampires don't even find that answer out. They just take what they want. But, if Klaus is in Tyler's body and he sleeps with Caroline without her knowing that detail, I would say it is rape. Because no one knows what her decision would be if she had all the facts.<br /><br />In terms of classical literary archetypes, I have mixed feelings. I think some of those stories are so good and then there is something like rape thrown into the story, and I just don't know. I think it all depends. If rape is going to be introduced into a storyline, I want to see the concept explored. I want the impact to carry on long after the act has occured. Does the hero feel any remorse? Is there any concept of what has happened, what does that act mean? I don't like rape being used in a story that is meant to be for shock value or to try and elicit something sexy. Because I think a storyteller walks a very dangerous line with that device in a story.<br /><br />Now with Catra and Adam, things are very tricky. In this instance I think of it as rape, if it had come to completion. They were both on the verge of having sex, but Adam stops after seeing a vision of Teela, who he does not realize is Teela. If we forget that he does not have his memory tampered with, in that moment they are both wanting to have sex. But I would classify it as rape if the act had fully transpired. I would also go so far as to say that it would be a rape for both of them. Because Catra does not want connection with anyone, but she is also lost and unsure of what she wants, so she is willing to go to that level, even if she doesn't want it. And of course Adam may physically be responding to it, but mentally he has no idea what he is about to do, until on some level he does. Plus the interesting thing about this, is that I don't think Catra would see her actions as being rape or anything like that, because this is someone who has no concept of being involved with another person. So for her rape does not exist, as a concept. That doesn't make it right, but it creates another dynamic, because she is pushing her own boundaries and does not care if other people are damaged in the process.Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-81622123986901692892012-06-09T10:22:49.313-05:002012-06-09T10:22:49.313-05:00You don't have to "did" like Klaus a...You don't have to "did" like Klaus and Caroline-because it wasn't that he "was" a good villain-his "is" still a good one. Did you see the finale? He switched bodies with Tyler because of Bonnie. How much do you wanna bet next season he does Caroline while he's in Tyler's body? And does that count as rape?<br />Rape is so sketchy in these fictional universes. Did Damon rape the girls that he had compelled? If you'll notice they take extra care to make sure the characters he compells already have crushes on him, so they do already WANT to have sex with him-but its still wrong because he is more or less enslaving them. But a lot of girls hate it when the vamps do thatin the show.I guess it would be like catra having sex with a slimed Adam, where do you stand? Is it "rape" or is just kinda "wrong"? What spike tried to do to Buffy was real rape-but what showed his character was that he stopped and felt real remorse-no other vamp in the buffyverse would ever do that. Angelus would have raped her, killed her, and then picked his teeth with her bones-he was a sick bastard. I always thought spike (and some of the writers for the show confirm this) was supposed to be an odd-duck among buffy vamps to begin with because he had so much love in him, like he was a little bit good even without a soul. <br />The VD vamps though-they get the hypnosis so the "rape" scenes are sketchy as to if its rape or not. And also, where do you stand on the classical literary rape archetype? It happens in great books -even ones written by women-like "the fountainhead"-it is obviously wrong to do in real life-but what about in the conventions of storytelling? should the whole heroes raping the heroines thing be outlawed? I don't like it myself but I still like some of the books where it happens. (must confess I did like the fountainhead) Just curious cause you are a girl and a writer, and you have done a scenario that could be construed as rape-but it was a woman who was evil doing it to a man.spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-88310370194090503802012-06-04T12:35:09.516-05:002012-06-04T12:35:09.516-05:00Yeah there is usually some bit of softie mush unde...Yeah there is usually some bit of softie mush under the anti-hero. That is one of the reasons I like them. They come off all bad but they aren't as evil as the villains. It gives a story something fun when the character is multi faceted. Not that pure softie goodies are lousy either, I just think it is great to have a variety. And Klaus was a good villain, but I did kinda liked his blooming romance/flirtation with Caroline.<br /><br />And yeah, I always liked the idea that the Horde was roaming around space and taking over other planets and stuff. And Skeletor would totally be arrogant to want the power for himself and to do his best to take over Eternia, even though He-Man is kickin butt and takin names. It is such a good story, I wish it'd become a movie again, sort of like a do-over from the old one.Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-59140220673260015882012-06-02T23:59:22.726-05:002012-06-02T23:59:22.726-05:00Do you ever notice though, that all those really g...Do you ever notice though, that all those really great anti-heroes have origins that reveal that they are really vulnerable softies? Spike was a soft spoken poet mommas boy that everyone made fun of and Damon was the less liked of the two salvatore brothers that people seemed to make fun of and whom just wanted the love of a girl who loved his brother. Hell, even Klaus has a background like that of being picked on. Its the whole adopting the jerk visage to overcompensate for what lies beneath thing and I love that! I even like Klaus though he is a villain instead of an antihero, but maybe that's because of how awesome Joseph Morgan is in the role. <br /> Did you ever get the feeling back in the day that every other planet in the motu universe was ruled by the horde except Eterna? I always thought it was a galactic empire thing where they were the evil bosses of the universe but the one planet they couldn't conquer was the one with He-Man on it because he is the most powerful being in the universe.Which made He-man such a bad ass! (even if he does where purple tights in his spare time) And only skeletor, with his arrogance, would be full of himself enough to stay on that world and try and defeat him.spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-7480723250615965082012-06-01T23:37:59.305-05:002012-06-01T23:37:59.305-05:00Well the Vampire Diaries books are very different....Well the Vampire Diaries books are very different. I haven't read that many, because I read more of the Otherworld series by L.J. Smith, which was a really cool story encompassing more of the witches and other monster type creatures. In terms of guys watching soaps, I never would have assumed you were gay for watching teen soaps. My best friend is gay and he hates them. Well, some of them. But I think a lot of straight guys enjoy soapy stuff too, most just probably don't readily admit it. <br /><br />I like characters like Spike from Buffy and Damon from Vampire Diairies for the whole anti-hero thing. There is something fun about watching a character really be this jerky type person and then softening up just enough that they really become someone you end up liking and rooting for. I like Damon far more than Stefan. And, in the end I did like Spike more than Angel. Everything changed for me once Angel changed after making love to Buffy. But my goodness that was a good story arc though!<br /><br />Skeletor is an underdog in many ways. I agree with you. He hasn't been featured much in my fanfic, but he certainly has a role and it will become bigger in the second part. I see him as someone who wanted power, lost it, and got a second chance by the Horde. This is all like the original story, but Skeletor is conflicted. He wants to do his own thing, but he owes Hordak for what the Horde was able to do in terms of bringing Skeletor back. The relationship with Skeletor and the Horde is complicated and that is not even counting what went on between Skeletor and Shadow Weaver. I have a really good story about the things that went on between the two of them, when Skeletor joined the Horde as Hordak's apprentice. But that is all coming up later on in the second part. But yeah, Skeletor has a big role in all this. The basic chain of events are that he was finally caught on Etheria and apprehended. His quest for power is over. For now.Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-85363923170407187352012-05-31T20:37:01.454-05:002012-05-31T20:37:01.454-05:00I never read the Vampire Diaries books. I just sta...I never read the Vampire Diaries books. I just started watching it cuz it was on the W.B and I am a big teen soap fan-and no I'm not gay. But I grew up watching soap operas with my grandma and I find them engrossing, especially when I'm not dating anyone I can live vicariously through the charcters. But the same situation happened with Gossip Girl. I got into the show so I never wanted to go back and read the books because I heard they were totally different, and I can't imagine the characters any other way. But the shows I love. Damon is my favorite character in the show and I hear he is more of a villain in the books instead of the anti hero he is on the show and I don't think I would like that as much.<br />As for Spike getting more lovable as Buffy went on-I agree-but I do love his early bad ass stuff too. I did think some of his edge was lost as the series went on-although I loved the concept of him getting a soul for Buffy.Thats why I think he deserves her more. Angel had a soul thrust upon him, but Spike sought it out and fought for it. I loved how Spike didn't follow any of the rules of the vamp and demon hierarchy either. Killing off "the master's" prodigy so he could run things himself.( though he did work for "Adam" briefly but that was only so he could get his chip out.) In that way he reminds me of Skeletor going against the Horde AND the good guys. When I was a kid I thought Hordak was cooler because-well he looked cooler-but as an adult I have grown to like old skull face more. Skeletor and his forces are kind of a minority in the universe of motu when you think about it. They go up against the He-Man crew -who are the dominant force on Eternia, and they also are against the Horde, who seem to be the dominant force on every other planet in their universe! Skeletor and his gang are the real underdogs of the series and there is something inherently cool in that. Although you seem to be using him a bit differently in your fiction.spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-51541636334367606892012-05-29T22:44:29.423-05:002012-05-29T22:44:29.423-05:00I loved me some Buffy too!

I liked Angel at first, but then I grew to adore Spike as the seasons wore on. I loved that show so much. I also really like the Vampire Diaries, I loved reading L.J. Smith when I was younger. So much fun.<br /><br />As for your characters, they all sound good! it is about time a sexy gorgon comes on to the scene! I hope to see your characters one day.

I also have a female villain character with devil horn shaped hair and she tends to trapdoor her minions quite a bit. Oh, and one girl villain who is a sexy gorgon if you can imagine that!<br /> I just purchased all the Buffy seasons on dvd cuz its been so long since I saw it. Watching the Vampire Diaries inspired me to rewatch Buffy. Buffy more or less followed me through high school because I was in 8th grade when it started and I was sophomore in college when it ended. I was like a Spike super-fan . Probably cuz I listened to punk and he was like the punk rock vampire. I think he remains my favorite vampire of all time. Were you team Spike or team Angel?spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-54012168257240558892012-05-27T12:18:06.799-05:002012-05-27T12:18:06.799-05:00I never really watched Xena either.

Oh my goodness Buffy was 'it' for me in the '90s. I would also love for them to finally do a Wonder Woman movie. I can't believe it has taken them this long, and probably even longer. I also liked some Sailer Moon, though I didn't watch it a lot. I hate that I never had the toys.<br /><br />The '80s He-Man movie was pretty bad. I remember being so sad as a kid because it was nothing like what I had hoped it would be. A new one is totaly in order, I wish Mattel would make it or say they are gonna make it or whatever. I think there is so much that could be done with the MOTU property. As for She-Ra, well I always have hopes that She-Ra could have her own movie or something. <br /><br />And as for my own characters, I have a few different types of stories. One is a horror type story involving a young woman and a small town. It doesn't have that much science fiction in it, and is more of a short story. The other story has a character from Earth and she ends up with powers and travels to other worlds with a group of similarly powered people. It is more of a songer story. I also have two other stories but they are more funny and do not involve any science fiction stuff.<br /><br />But your two female comic characters sound so cool! You will have to keep me updated on the progress of your work, it sounds really cool.Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-7802456559750495722012-05-27T01:42:30.211-05:002012-05-27T01:42:30.211-05:00I still can't believe they haven't made a ...I still can't believe they haven't made a Wonder Woman movie yet. As far as other strong female charcters in the media Buffy is the only one I can think of that was really good. I guess there was Xena too but I never watched that. <br />As far as cartoons the closest anyone has come since the 80's is probably in anime. I used to love Sailor Moon as a teen (still do) and had a huge crush on Sailor Mars ( though I wouldn't have kicked moon or venus out of the bed either) Speaking of trapdoors the Excel Saga has a female main character (who constantly gets trapdoored by her boss) but she is kind of a bad guy and she is very stupid so it isn't exactly empowering. But its very funny. <br /> I really wish someone would reinvent the Masters of the Universe movie franchise. The movie they made in the 80's ( while it is a classic example of 80's cheese, and is fun to make fun of) was a terrible interpretation of the story. He-man is never even seen as Adam and most of it takes place on earth! But the toy line was biting the dust by the time they made that and it had a lot of production problems. A new movie could be really awesome. I mean the story itself is a LOT better than the transformers story. And skeletor -if done well-could be a kick ass villain. ( like he was in the 2002 version of the cartoon "I do hope you don't bruise easily He-Man!" haha) plus you can do a snake men movie and a horde movie and you've got a whole epic trilogy right there. Then maybe we'd see a live action she-ra. Any suggestions on who could play her or any of the others? I'd love to see a live action catra.<br /> As for your your characters can I ask what kind of stories they are? I mean outer space fantasy-sci fi like she-ra with princesses and such? or more earthbound situations? I have two female comic characters. One is sort of a sailor moon type character but the other is a cave girl in modern times with super powers! haha its strange.spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-88531161950431502732012-05-25T23:46:12.044-05:002012-05-25T23:46:12.044-05:00Well I do happen to have a few stories of my own i...Well I do happen to have a few stories of my own invented characters. I have yet to actually write them down in a more story-type setting, but I have them mapped out. I hope to one day have those stories completed. I feel like there are not enough strong female centric stories featuring super heroines and whatnot. There is need for it.<br /><br />As for She-Ra fanfic, it is hard because I did not create these characters nor do I have the rites to them. But in terms of She-Ra, there has not been an actual story, comic, cartoon, or movie featuring these people. And when I think of She-Ra this is just one of the stories that comes to mind for me. I just adore these characters, and though they aren't mine, it is fun to put dialogue in their mouths and to explore who they are in a different way. <br /><br />As for closing my eyes, I don't think I closed my eyes when folks got slimed, but I certainly cringed. Like, I never would have been on Double Dare for example. lol I was just to grossed out by it all. Let alone putting my toys through all that.

(although many of them are clearly inspired by the filmation style, albeit in a more "campy on purpose" funny way. ) I hear Joss Whedon feels the same way about the Avengers. Even though it was a big awesome movie and a huge success , and he used the characters wonderfully, he was still haunted by the fact that the characters weren't "his"-that being said, if I can devote some time to fan fiction She-Ra stuff will be high on my list.Particularly Catra and Adora stuff. Do you have your own characters that you've invented? I could totally see you making a line of she-ra type heroines to use in stories in this vein. If you made up some stuff you could maybe even sell it to some company. there hasn't been a "Jem" or a "she-ra" type thing in culture for girls in a while. <br /><br />also, would you hide your eyes when the trapdoor happened? I remember when I was super young I would hide my eyes when kids got "green slimed" on you cant do that on television and my cousins would tease me. They would tell me the scene was over, and I would look and the slime was still there! The slime pit as well as ghostbusters helped me deal with that fear.spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-79870934122712066062012-05-24T17:56:59.251-05:002012-05-24T17:56:59.251-05:00Ya know I was going to ask if you had any plans to...Ya know I was going to ask if you had any plans to write anything.

I would try to imagine what I would do, and I think my thoughts were always like, "I just wouldn't go to the Fright Zone!" And I would guess that in Hordak's chambers the trap door would be a big section of the floor. Maybe different door opening depending on the location. lolMichael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-52241631616098476112012-05-23T20:09:47.974-05:002012-05-23T20:09:47.974-05:00That's fine as I plan on doing some fan materi...That's fine as I plan on doing some fan material about the two of them.

They would ceratinly be a beautiful couple and catra's love for adora might be what it would take to bring catra to the rebellion. <br /> But I would like you to send catra down the trapdoor again. That was excellent! So much better than Mantenna! <br />Did you ever imagine how terrible it would be to have to stand in front of hordaks throne when you were a kid? Would you have tried to stand where there wasn't a trapdoor or do you think the floor would be too filled with them to avoid?<br /> like did you ever see that porky pig cartoon where he is auditioning talent acts and no matter where they were standing in his office a trapdoor would open under them? I thought the fright zone was like that.spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-22414686583904079472012-05-23T16:19:22.100-05:002012-05-23T16:19:22.100-05:00Well actually Adora doesn't make Catra bleed, ...Well actually Adora doesn't make Catra bleed, the blood on Catra was dripping from the wounds on the Adora hallucination. So technically there was no blood, it was all in Catra's mind. And your idea about the connection between Adora and Catra is interesting. I don't know that I will be doing all that with the story I have in mind (I only have Parts 1 and 2 written out thus far, and a map of Part 3) but there will be all kinds of exciting things occurring between these characters. I hope you will still find it interesting without the heavy emphasis on a kinky type of relationship between the two! Thank you for your comment, I hope all is well.Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-88144882587259260542012-05-20T01:47:31.822-05:002012-05-20T01:47:31.822-05:00Your description of adora making catra bleed is fa...Your description of adora making catra bleed is fascinating to me. I wonder if Catra was in a relationship with adora if she would be the submissive or the dominant one in the relationship. Many powerful women fantasize about being dominated in bed, even if they are in complete control of their real lives. I know catra with all of her twistedness would probably be kinky becasue she is so sexually confused. What would also be cool is if it turned out that Adora-who is very kind and sweet-would be a sexual sadist in the bedroom towards catra. Maybe as a way to escape the restrictions of having to be goody goody all the time in life. I would be very interested to see what their relationship would be like and which one of them would wear the pants -or I guess in this case-which one of them would get to have their hand on the trapdoor button in the relationship. <br /> I suppose the fright zone would be an awesome place to carry out a kinky romance like that-they could always take turns throwing each other in the dungeon for bondage fun!spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-38244625086899613682012-05-14T14:19:28.564-05:002012-05-14T14:19:28.564-05:00Well I wouldn't say I'm that dirty. I know...Well I wouldn't say I'm that dirty. I know it may seem like the story is going to have sexual fantasy plots and what-not, but this story won't be a Fifty Shades of She-Ra type thing. lol<br /><br />The moment between Adam and Catra was meant to be sexy but also incredibly bad for them. Adam can't remember who he is and that he is really in love with Teela and about to do something really big to change that and Catra... well the way I have envisioned her is someone who dislikes all manner of human connection, and so in the moment of wanting to surrender to sexual needs, she would be going against her own belief of being alone. This being a new experience, all of these images were coming to her, like Bow and even Adora. The question will be if she wants those images or were those images just randomly showing up in her mind. It is all setting up a bigger picture for Catra and who she is and just why she is such a villain. <br /><br />Catra is one of my favorites if only because I have always been curious about what her anger and hatred for She-Ra means and what her story really is. Adora/She-Ra is somewhat simple, she wants to do the right thing. She has been on the side of bad, but really wants to find connection with her friends and a family she has never met. So look for more interesting dynamics between Adora and Catra. And don't worry, Catra will not be turning into a panther in the wrong moments. As for the nervous gulps, lol I am just not that good at it.

Someone is a dirty little dorkette! <br />Writing near porno she-ra fan fiction is a skill every girl should have, and I dare say if you only drank coffee you would be the perfect girlfriend!<br /> That scene with Catra thinking about Adora while she's with Adam-yum! I hope that fantasy gets explored further! (perhaps if catra slimes adora she can make her fantasy come true! wink wink) Anyway, it seems like Catra must be your favorite character-the stories seem to be centered around her. I like that because I always had a crush on her as a kid. ( though the turning into a panther thing freaks me out a bit -as I would not be up for a bout of accidental beastiality in the middle of the "act") I'll have to read the rest of this later but keep up the good work.<br /><br />p.s have you been practicing your nervous gulps?spazzblisternoreply@blogger.com
