When Doves Cry is giving me the silent treatment, read my ramblings please.
LOSH Story Ideas
That I Will Never Write
The creative mind can often be a really strange place. The most random of ideas can become the most enjoyable of stories or make the most interesting art. However, as a writer, sometimes those ideas, while fun to think about, aren't really plausible as a story. Also as someone whose become known as a Legion of Superheroes, more specifically a Clark (Superman) and Brainy slash writer, I often get ideas that deal with them from both myself and my fans.
As I mentioned before these ideas are often very fun but I can't get myself to write them for one reason or another. For the most part I thought that meant no one else would ever hear these ideas either but then I thought why not? Just because I can't write them out doesn't mean other people wouldn't enjoy hearing about them and, possibly, someone else would like to write them or tell the story with their art.
So please enjoy my ramblings and I hope they inspire someone out there to make something where I couldn't.
Idea #1: The Legion of Superheroes as Sailor Senshi.
-Idea originally from: GohoshiSuruNyan of deviantART.
-Main Characters: Brainy as Sailor Moon AKA Sailor Brainiac Five and Superman as Tuxedo Mask or possibly Super Tuxedo, Super Mask, Tuxedo Man, etc…
-Why I could not write it: I am a Moonie; I've been a fan of the Anime since it first came to America. It was my first obsession after Disney and what got me into Anime and probably added to my enjoyment of superheroes in general. I could not imagine Brainy in stead of Sailor Moon, he's just too smart. Even if I got rid of Sailor Moon, which would break my heart, or merged her together with Sailor Mercury to get Brainy's part in the crossover I am not one of those people who enjoy putting boys in dresses, or really short skirts as the case may be. And then it wouldn't just be Brainy in a senshi fuku, it would be Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy, freaking Superman X all in short skirts, high heels and twirling around shouting out their attacks, their very girly named attacks.
These sorts of things are best in a visual medium where you can get to a pun without explaining a lot of things. Where everything you need to know, you can see in the picture or comic. While the idea is very enjoyable to me, and I miss while it was popular at the ClarkxBrainy club, it's just not something I can take seriously enough to write but if anyone else would like to take a stab at it I'd love to read it.
