2, 3, and 10 for the fic ask meme.

2. In terms of fanfiction, I'd love to write a TFA or Gwenpool fanfic.

Transformers Animated was always my favourite cartoon of the franchise. It's fun and stylistic and rarely takes itself too seriously. That's not to say it doesn't have serious moments. But sadly, it was cancelled after the 2nd season, just as Sari Sumdac (the MC) was about to leave for Cybertron for the very first time.

If I could, I'd write a continuation for that story, focusing on Sari adjusting to the new life among her people. She grew up as human for a very long time so it can be difficult to try and live as a Cybertronian, especially considering she's a Technorganic (half organic, half machine). There's a stigma against organics (humans) in that show btw, with some even afraid of touching one.

As for Gwenpool, she's my favourite Marvel superhero, being a pseudo-Mutant with the power to perceive reality as a comic book. This also comes with quirks such as jumping in and out of reality, traveling through time, using comic book logic, knowing anything that's been shown in comic form (because she has access to all the pages) and in one small Deadpool release, even create anything out of nothing just by drawing it.

Is she OP? Yes. Is she unstoppable? Hardly. Because despite her powers, she's still quite human. She can't shoot lasers or have super strength or anything like that. So she has a hard time fighting against powerhouses like the Hulk. But the main focus of her character is that she's constantly under threat of being retconned, so she tries her best to be popular.

I wanted to write a fanfic exploring that. One idea I had was her being at the edge of the universe, just sitting alone and contemplating with her thoughts, only for Galactus to appear and become her talking buddy. Being all-powerful, he knows how powerful Gwen is and sees her as an equal, all while observing her very mortal issues. Another idea was that she erases her own memory with the help of her wizard friend Terrible Eye and went to college. But then, a great catastrophe is about to occur so the heroes need Gwen's help to get the Infinity Gems and save the universe. But to do that, they need to go through a series of quirky challenges (placed by Gwen) to release her memories. In doing so, they also see the world through her eyes. So far, the only person who believes her abilities are the co-characters from her own series (Terrible Eye, Batroc the Leaper, Mega Tony, Cecil).

The problem is that both franchises have decades of storytelling, and I'm not American. So I don't have access and resources, nor the reason to even try. It's a HUGE WALL and frankly, I'm unprepared to try and climb that.

3. I'd describe my writing as direct and straight to the point.

Look, I'm not very good at fluffing my words. I see people writing a single scene and that alone takes up 1-2k words. Meanwhile, I write entire episodes in 6-8k words. Do you know how many scenes there are in one episode? A lot.

If I wrote like they do, a single episode could easily be up to 20k. This is also the reason why my uploads are very slow. I technically put in more ideas per chapter than most, even if it's a lower word count.

10. That would be Unchosen One, For Want a Nail and of course, Heroic BSOD.

The Unchosen One basically means a person who is not the chosen one but says "Fuck you" to fate and ends up doing the thing the chosen one was supposed to do anyway. For example, Link from Wind Waker (exclusively) was not the reincarnation of the Hero of Time and didn't have the Triforce of Courage. But because his sister got kidnapped, he ends up going on the quest to save her and even the world.

For Want a Nail is an alternate universe/what-if trope that asks "What if you change one small thing? What happens?". It comes from the tale where a horse got a nail stuck to its hooves and thus, the messenger couldn't deliver an important letter and one thing led to another and now, an entire kingdom is in ruins. The difference between FWaN with The Butterfly Effect is that no time travel is involved, and that it's not about cause and effect.

Finally, the Heroic BSOD. What happens when the hero is so utterly traumatized by certain events? They shut down. This is a tragic trope and it breaks down a heroic character down to their fleshy fragile core. It's chilling, deafening and really dangerous to everyone involved because if the hero can't do anything, then who can? So this episode of theirs is really compelling! I love it!

You can probably see all of this in SatF...

Like power-wise, in terms of conquest storylines, Doom should be over. One of the reasons the writer of Secret Wars was reluctant to go ahead with it was because it would leave Doom narratively spent, finally completing his takeover the universe storyline, with nowhere else to go on that, hence the new redemption play in things, which really should have gone one for another decade or so at the very least. Now as it is it seems that Doom is actually good, just whenever the Fantastic Four are not around. Future Gwen should be his therapist.

I think Valeria Nadia and Gwen should all create a nice "be good Victor" planner where they list out the months he can be a good guy and the months he can be angsty and edgy and fight other heroes (Victor: like RICHARDS— Valeria: YEAH I GUESS IF YOU WANT) and every 2nd Friday or so of the month he comes in for therapy with them so he doesn't kill his therapist. Because he would.

Also, yes, Dooms desire the conquer the earth like Slott has slingshotted him back into is narratively unsatisfying because he's already been ruler of the universe! He's BEEN GOD!! And he FOUND IT UNSATISFYING. HE DOESN'T WANT IT ANYMORE. He got everything he was clawing for and realized it's simultaneously too much and not enough for him. It's not right for him! His choice to try to redeem himself was just as much about him finding himself after being DOCTOR DOOM had been such a large part of his life. He was trying to do and be better because he realized he COULD BE and after secret wars. Maybe he SHOULD be...He's not trusted but he understands that. He's working hard to make up for everything he's done and he has SO MUCH to make up for and he's trying with such conviction it seems so strange for him to just give up after his face gets re boo-boo'd.

In fact, I'm pretty pissed about what it implies to his character that getting re-scarred immediately drove him back into villainy becAUSE A. THE COLLEGE EXPERIMENT THAT GAVE HIM HIS ORIGINAL SCARS we're from a device that was intended to communicate with Hell so he can talk to his mother! So he could find a way to save her soul! That was his GOAL before he was scarred and it was still his goal AFTERWARDS. His physical appearance and pain didn't affect his goals at ALL. He's vain, yes, but he DOESN'T CARE in the face of what he WANTS. So it's crazy to think that if what he wants is "redemption" he would throw it away because his face got scarred again during that process. It's out of character because if it wasn't then Victor would've given up previously and Cynthia Von Doom would never have been saved from Hell. And B. I'M FURIOUS ABOUT HIS SCARS BEING "THE CAUSE OF HIS CORRUPTION" OR WHATEVER BECAUSE BOTH TIMES VICTOR GOT SCARRED WERE OUT OF ACTS OF LOVE (for either his mother or for Tony Stark (in WHATEVER way you want to interpret that)) AND THE DESIRE TO SAVE ANOTHER PERSON FROM THEIR SUFFERING and it's UNFAIR to him as a CHARACTER and their ARC to IGNORE THAT

Also I do think "Victor going down the path of villainy (again) and a future gwenpool coming in to give him therapy like he did when she considered becoming a villain in her comic books" would be a nice full circle moment.
