As many of you know, I decided to take on the task of creating a fanfic that not only discussed Stormy's past, but also linked it with Murky. The thread for it can be found here. Strange to think that it all began with some speculation of Fanchan's.
Anyway, I am seeking ideas for it and things that you, the fans, would like to see in the story. I have taken things from that thread and added my own ideas. I have not written the plot synopsis so far, but I have written a list of ideas. I also started writing the first paragraph for the story, which begins with a slave auction... that's all I'm saying for now.
Below, you will find the list of ideas that I have so far. If you've got something you want to see in the story, post here. I'm very good about considering every idea I see and working it into the story in some way. I can tell you that the story is going to take place shortly after Rainbow restores Rainbow Land, but before 1285, when the Monstromurk was released. I have good reason for this and my dates are based on the fanbased timeline.
Basic Summary:
Stormy originally served under Murky. She was brought secretly to Rainbow Land shortly after Rainbow Brite restores it. murky plans to train her to be his secret weapon against Rainbow. She is always under hte influence of hte gloom cloud variant to stay in his control. Years pass before she is able to find the antidote and escape. Secret grudge against Rainbow, as she knows the extent of Stormy's history, even after all others have forgotten.
Ideas/Concepts for Lost Storms:
- Stormy bought as slave on distant planet via slave auction
- Stormy is 6 years old at the time. Growth halted after 2 years in Rainbow Land
---- Immortality granted to long-term inhabitants
- Murky saw demonstration of her ability and bought her
- To be used as a secret weapon against Rainbow
- Stormy's personality stubborn and full of anger
- Murky uses a gloom cloud variant to retain control over her
- Slowly Stormy realizes with time that she is being controlled
- Stormy feels nothing in attacks against Rainbow and the Color Kids, and is only able to acknowledge their emotions after the gloom wears off.
- Realizes that Rainbow Land isn't her most preferred location, but that it's better than the Pits
- Murky eventually lets her execute attacks on her own
---- Through this, Stormy is able to corner Rainbow and argue her case.
- Stormy kept hidden until her 18th birthday
---- Mind has advanced and hardened against outsiders
- Cannot control her powers over the weather as a child
---- Intense anger creates an uncontrollable storm
- Skydancer purchased at another auction to be Stormy's horse
---- Murky is modeling Stormy to be the anti-Rainbow
---- Skydancer bought as a young adult
---- Shares similar powers to Stormy
---- Trained by Stormy and Lurky
-------- encourages Lurky's love of horses
That's all I have so far. Gimme anything you've got

Re: Next Longshot: Lost Storms
Not quite sure what to add as I've been very "out of it" this week for the most part due to not feeling the best....but it sounds great so far!

Re: Next Longshot: Lost Storms
If you think of anything, just lemme know! I'm very open to new ideas and since I'm not feeling up to writing out the synopsis tonight, I've been working on the first chapter since I know how I want that to go. I may post some concept bits in this thread as I go though.TheWendybird wrote:Not quite sure what to add as I've been very "out of it" this week for the most part due to not feeling the best....but it sounds great so far!

Re: Next Longshot: Lost Storms/Need some readers for 1st ch.
Okay so last night I was inspired and wrote the first chapter in its entirety. There are a few new concepts introduced in this chapter, including giving Stormy a family. Her mother has a big presence in the first chapter and she was quite fun to write, but I need to make sure it would sound somewhat like Stormy's mother. Also, this chapter is on the darker side (a specialty of mine) and deals with child slaves and auctions in basic detail.
I'm looking for some people who would be interested in reading the first chapter and giving me specific feedback on it before I post it on the forum to be read. If you're interested, shoot me a PM and I'll send it to you.

Re: Next Longshot: Lost Storms
Had to use this thread again. I need some reader input, or just input in general. You don't have to have read my story to answer this question either.
I'm at the point in my story where Stormy is beginning to attack Rainbow. Murky is giving her simple tasks first, mostly to prove that his efforts over the past 12 years have not been for nothing. The very first task is to steal more color crystals for Murky's collection. Simple and easy in his mind. What I need are more ideas that Murky will assign to Stormy. They can be simple ones that he uses to test to ones where she is sent to Rainbow Land on her own. I do plan to use Skydancer in future attacks. What I do not need is a final culminating attack to take place...I have that idea in mind, a perfect bit of character emotional torturing...won't say more than that! XD
So to sum up...I've got a first task and a last task, but I need stuff to go in-between. That's where you all come in. So yeah. Suggestions welcome!
