Help! I need to decide something...

I'm about to write a long story based on TMNT, but in more of a hard edged feeling TMNT. (cursing, violence, guns, drugs...)

I read on another post that someone was already doing this and thats awsome, more power to him since he already started. Anyways, I narrowed it down to 3 plots I'd use. Can I get ur opinion on which ones best?

Casey Jones is the main character. Deals with him taking down the kingpin of crime in New York. Sees Turtles fighting a bunch of guys and depicts the Turtles as the enemies, and vows to get his hands on them one day. Starts setting traps for each turtle, catches them one by one, and ends up in a climatic fight scene against the last of the turtles (Raph or Leo). In the end...i'm not sure who wins yet.

Raphael is the main character. Plot begins as if Leonardo had already died in a fight against a gang while he was out on the streets. Leo dies by gunshots, as Raph witnesses it at last moment. Raph abandons the turtles, becoming darker, more vengeful, vowing to find the ones who did it.

TMNT are main characters. Police has become aware of them and are attacking them before word gets out. Beginning deals with bombs being sent down sewers and swat team rushes in but they aren’t found (they retreated when they heard the first bomb). Deals with them trying to cope living above ground, in alleys, trying to survive. April does not exist in the story. (perhaps cameo appearance on Television?)

I think I like the second one the best, mainly cuz Raph's my favorite and his character is strong enough to hold up a whole story on his own. Which of those do you think would make for the best story? It'd really help me out guys, thanks.

Why not write them all? There's no need to limit yourself to one fic.

If you're unsure which one to make a long story of, I suggest trying to write the first chapter or so of each of the plots you listed. If one seems to flow easier than the others, go with it.

I prefer plot 3, but like Damnhooligan said you cud rite a chapter from each and see which one u think you'll enjoy writting more of.

I like number 1 because Casey is the main character, but I don't like the idea of him being bad. I say number 2......

Krutch · 10-01-2003, 11:16 PM

I went ahead with number 2, and its coming along nicely. I'm only putting it in draft form right now...i'm kinda stuck but I'll get through it...

I'm also gonna be doin some sketches to go along with it to help visualizing some of the stunts. (theres a scene that involves 2 motorcycles that could really use a picture).
