New FictionPress Series (Part 1)

NEW TAG: Chronicle

MGW here, annoucing a possible new project and once I get some details done, I will work on a so-called "pilot chapter". I will mention again that for now it will be a standard for me to type short chapters, like maybe under 2500 or 3000 words.

==============

So, while working on TOF, I've decided to think of a series based on ninjas and real-life Japan in the Warring Stares Era. Why is Japanese history and a being of various interpretations arrest my attention so much? That is good question.

My watching of anime would eventually lead to me being curious about how the things I've watched/seen are composed together.

I like some anime because I like cartoons. Easy, eaaaaaaasssy; I don't think you can bitch about that. It doesn't have to be the best. Matter of fact, there has been many many times where I can't find myself watching entire anime series. Maybe it's boring, doesn't suit my fancy, too cutesy, too slow, I need a good hook.

I find Mobile Suit Gundam 00 generic but okay to follow because it's close to current real-life events.

I like NARUTO, but....

( NARUTO rant cont )

I'll admit it. I like those ninja guys because of childhood, but back then they shared a stereotype. I'm looking for something with smarts and logic, something realistic, and not superhuman martial artists like NARUTO and BASILISK (somewhat). Like hwo did they achieve their missions and how did they create the reputation that we so known much about? Also, something graphic.

There is another reason why I want to do this. I'm playing in a few D&D games online and this caught my attention: http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Ninja_DnD_Class

Chuunin exams, flak jackets, genjutsu, special jounin are NARUTO STUFF. Is NARUTO so outspread that it has become the new cool stereotype?

New FictionPress Series (Part 2)

Anyways, my NARUTO rant is over. Not into that kind of thing, and shortly after that I checked on other people about what they think about NARUTO. Let's not remain in that subject any longer. Let's talk a little about this "ninja series" that I may develop.

- So, my motif is the lives of the Koga (koka), Iga, and Fuuma ninja in the Sengoku Peroid, how they lived and how they were used.

- Realism is the goal, and the logic and cunning of the shinobi with limited accessories will decide whether they survive or not against their enemies. Mythological elements will be allowed but shouldn't be commonly seen, like magic and such.

- No superhumans or scientific experiments. Firearms may be allowed.

- I MIGHT use a few Japanese terms like (dono, hahaue, genin).

- It is important to know that I must not type like the reader immediately knows what I'm talking about. I am hoping for an array of readers. Anime reader or not, don't care. Matter of fact, I think aniem readers are fed up with the FictionPress. Anyways! Readers! If they like war, they may like it; Japanese history, history or Feudalism it can be parallel to Europe Feudalism.

- Iga and Koga have some kind of rivalry; Fuuma hates Iga?

- "Pilot Chapter" (abbrv. "PLCT") may talk about revenge and a monster. Will introduce one family of the Iga, Tsukimori. One member is named Tsukimori Shoutarou (月森 勝茶郎)

Just throwing some ideas out there.
