#i thought abt sharing a snip of my NF fic but then when i was reading it over i remembered that i already did share it here once so ;-;

Heres a request - write smth nice for yourself involving ur favs for ur birthday <33

this was licherally way too wide open for a request dinu fjdskfl;a, so im gonna take this as a normal ask and just ramble a little abt my new NF pitch bc I want to see DC make it one day or at the v least i’ll keep speaking into existence until i can bully them into letting me write for it fjkldasf;

Okay, I know in my fic & speculations i keep expanding the cast to include a lot of characters i love, but I think esp for the purposes of like, an on-going series/possible show/cartoon, I’d want to cast to be relatively small & contained. SO, the line-up (which i’m capping off MLP-style at only 6 characters max) is:

Raven, (OBVSILY, shes the Leader & audience lead-in, since she’s the one that’s had the most exposure)

Zach, Traci, Klarion & Lori (bc they were so Involved and simultaneously are the more Established characters relative to Skye and Roberto, who were for all intents and purposes were Marv’s OCs and while I COULD make an argument to include them, I’d hold off on re-using them too soon, esp if this might end up being something that takes a few years to get off the ground)

and finally Eddie to round out the group, bc even tho he was only briefly in DoD, he’s still a much more established character & would be an excellent foil to a lot of these kids as one of the few who’s been a Full Sidekick & who’s been heroing for quite some time

so this is where I start to diverge a bit, bc in my show bible, I’m absolutely gonna wanna pitch this thing as a Monster-of-the-week, character driven action show. not as much plot, but a lot of heart at the start and something that can then be developed further as time goes on. you can throw in both supernatural creatures and cryptids and have some fun with these kids, just, exploring diff environments psuedo-scooby style or them bonding totally separate from the supernatural stuff & it running into them against the odds lmao, but not too many other Evil™ mystics to fight, as WB animation/tv trying to obtain rights to use certain characters seems to be a little... fraught. better to stick with something that focuses first on the characters that are absolutely needed to make the show work in the first place

but anyways for a comic run, I would want to hit the ground running on making a vague callback/recap of Winters trying to re-form a NF team with these kids, them breaking off from him immediately at the conclusion of their first ‘mission’, and then the rest of the series being about them taking on various supernatural quests. again, could throw in monsters, but moreso would use those Actual Mystics a lot more often though, given that editorial seems to allow more freedom with regards to characters that you can use, again compared to animation/tv. would also be a lot better of an opportunity to bring in JLD/shadowpact nods/characters/team-ups and just!!!!

idk, i have a lot of littler ideas too, and i’m still trying to distill what I love abt these characters into an appropriate pitch bc ya can’t have these things if you dont at least Plan for em yknow?
