Plot bunnies · 9:42pm Mar 31st, 2017
Said bunnies have been elusive of late, which is why I've been busier on the visual side.
Anybody else see those new Equestria Girls videos? I must say, I'm glad to see Sci-Twi return to her weird science roots. Plus, that song is pretty damn catchy.
A few months ago, I discovered the horror movies of Dario Argento - namely, Phenomena (released as Creepers in the U.S.) and Suspiria. These movies caught my attention with their Boarding School of Horrors settings, which fuel my itch to do a horror story set in Crystal Prep Academy. I mean, just imagine walking the halls of Crystal Prep in the middle of the night with THIS song playing (the first two and a half minutes)...
I've also been toying with the concept of the Shadow Five becoming Badass Normals. Perhaps in response to the magic flowing in from Equestria, they decide to intensify their physical training regimen to better prepare them for dodging giant carnivorous plants, dimensional cracks and other invading threats. After all, if Black Widow and Hawkeye can stand alongside Thor and Hulk, our favorite Shadowbolts can do likewise with their Wondercolt counterparts, methinks.
Magic is no substitute for skill and training, after all!
I'm sure I've also got more Chiffon Veil's studio/belly dance tales tucked away somewhere. One thing I always strive to do with these is to explore something new in each story. To all who have enjoyed them - my heartfelt thanks.
More as the Wheel turns.
@mayorlight I'm guessing you're a big fan of the horror film genre, then? Also, about that Avengers-esque Shadowbolts story, I'd read it. If you decide to make it, let me know, would you please?
4489858 Mostly in the suspense/thriller vein. That Shadowbolts concept would probably resemble Watchmen more than Avengers, but it'll definitely show up on my feed if I do end up writing it.
