I'm here to ask you guys for your opinions. I'm currently in a creative drift where I want to work on something I don't know what to work on. Now I have a lot of projects. Some, specifically the two you've seen, if you follow what I post, are rewrites or re-imagines of already existing stories. But I also have ones where I've taken an existing liberty like, let's say, TMNT for an example. I put my own twist on it, and then I can hopefully someday make into a real show. Finally, there are my completely original stories. Now, just let me know what you would like to see the most.

Writing character descriptors is much like presenting them to the Queen. You are that person whispering into the Queen’s ear, telling her who is in line to greet her and why she should care.
