insaneladybugI wrote most of the missing middle section of my fic on Sunday night and Monday morning. I love when fics suddenly fall into place and mostly write themselves! And I fixed the hero discussion by simply having Father Joe talk to the group as a whole, instead of just James. I think that really looks better. Now I'm just fleshing things out before posting any segments. I think I determined the chapter breaks, but depending on how much gets fleshed out, that could change.
One thing I did was show a conversation early in the fic around Father Joe's lunch table. They ended up discussing Giovanni and why he keeps the trio around when they always fail. After all, Team Rocket could afford to let them go. That ended up inadvertently looking like a plot point that should be explored more, and now I'm thinking again about my old fic that I wanted to redo. That dealt a lot with Giovanni's interaction with the trio.
It does seem like too many near-death incidents for James in a row, though. (Although he was just knocked out in the crossover and in the possession fic, and I'm guessing most readers in the Pokemon category wouldn't have read the crossover ... although the one vocal Pokemon fic reviewer did. But just counting the Pokemon category, that would really just leave two prior hurt/comfort scenarios and only one being thought dead incident, in the fic I'm going to post. But said being thought dead incident is pretty major, just as it also is in the old fic.) If I wanted to redo the old fic and have it in this timeline I'm crafting, maybe he should just be missing and not thought dead. But then that removes some of the poignancy and a large point of the plot. I really wanted to redo the old fic with the same basic plotline and just flesh it out.
Decisions, decisions....
Meanwhile, I'm planning for the next Turtles fic and really getting a kick out of it. ROTFLOL, it's going to be priceless.
