Author's Introduction: Hello dear readers! And welcome to Citrine Rain's collection of vast fan fictions! If you read my bio you'll find I jump all over the place with stories from a multitude of television shows, manga's, and anime's. And yes, I have also delved into writing about my favorite band.
And yes, I need to update them, like now.
However, I cannot help but dive into a new story, blame my fiance...well sort of. You see, he and I were born in the early 80s and brought up in the days where cartoons could sneak in adult innuendos in the dialogue and CGI was yet to be conceived and we just watched with wide eyes and simply happy brains.
Not that I am not knocking today's cartoons mind you. I can't even draw a stick figure, let alone create a script time after time that could draw a crowd of a million viewers asking for more. So artists and creators of all types, I salute ya!
But I digress
Anyway, my younger brother (younger by only 1-1/2 years ) was the Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtle, nut. He watched, I watched. He absorbed, I went meh. They were great to pass the time for me, but I was the Disney Afternoon Princess, girly girl, give me the Gummi Bears, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers any day kind of kid.
My how the tables have turned.
When I met my fiance (and yes I promise to keep the mushy romance to a minimum) he made it clear he was a HUGE Transformers fan. Aside from the show itself, he collects everything he can get his hands on and cares for them. He introduced me to the 80s show and I too found myself a bit hooked, not enough for fan fiction inspiration, but I found myself growing an even more appreciation for the shows I grew up with. It brought back a lot of happy memories because, I'll tell ya everyone under 18, adulthood is no picnic. It's not the worst time of your life, but it is not the easiest. However it also the most eye opening.
The nostalgia train though has lasted for me. Fiance has a collection of DVDs from shows I never thought would ever reappear again. Three years ago we watched The Real Ghostbusters and I was happy as can be. Being older now too, I could understand Peter's gags and quips instead of them flying over my head like when I was a child.
Then the fiance brought out the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Comic Books from back in the day.
When I leafed through the Ninja Turtle Comics I was in awe of the Turtles, April and Splinter too, their characters were absolutely amazing. Then I got to meet Ninjara (not a character you will meet in the TV series) I was completely blown away. The fan fiction wheels in my head began spinning. But of course when fiance brought out the DVDS from the late 80s show, I was even more drawn in. I knew then I HAD to write a fan fiction on them, especially after curiosity got the best of me and I started reading the fan fictions on here. There is just so much one can create with these characters.
I have no idea where the heck I am going to go with this to story. The flow of it, however will be based on the turtles from toddler hood through probably the mid-90s version with the comic books mixed in. I just hope you all will enjoy!
Sincerely,
Citrine Rain
