It's Not Easy Being Blue: Nightcrawler Appreciation

Can you promise to use the pre-mutilation Ryan Reynold's Wade??? LOL!

Can't promise that, only because I don't know enough about Wade to know what you're referring to. :-(

She's probably referring to the fact that Wade looks like your basic oozing leper under the mask right now, and that is full body. :P

Ugh, I know. I've been working on my movie-verse sequel fic since July. And on chapter 8 since November. Um, yeah. I just can't figure out how to make the slower parts work, so I've been writing dialogue for scenes I know I want in several notebooks, and it's all really disjointed and would seem out-of-context to everyone but me. Heck, I'm so out of interesting not-fight-scene ideas that I'm even including that terrible Nurse Annie Ghazikhanianaowdhuoefabueibfiabepeieren (yes, I know it's Ghazikhanian, but it's such a mouthful of a name anyway). That is how empty my house of not-a-fight ideas is.

Interesting. I have very few ideas for fighting/action stories. Mine are more inner-directed, not to mention sex-directed.

I do recommend not posting anything until you're finished, as Sundowhn says. It means you've put yourself in a box that you may not be able to get out of, if you start posting incomplete stories. In my experience, I do a lot of rewriting before I reach the end, so don't want any of the earlier stuff to be unchangeable.
I usually have a vague outline in mind when I seriously start a story, but it's subject to changes along the way.
Also, to Drelion, tons of pages that don't have a coherent plot is often typical of fanfic. Sometimes you need to narrow it down, save choice tidbits that just don't fit for later stories, decide on the theme you want to deal with, that sort of thing. Sometimes you're just trying to cover too much in one far-too-long story. In fact, that's how many of my story series develop: the original idea keeps on expanding and growing, so that I can't cover it all in just one story. In that case, I try to divide it into a series of stories, but each individual story has to have its own coherent beginning, middle, and end, even tho it may hint at future happenings in the following story.

This is starting to sound like a writing workshop. ;-)

Have you all seen this preview? http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...eview&id=12271

You'd be a good one to present it, if that's the case. :P ^----This man has the patience of Job.

Would that be after Weapon X got their hands on him, or something even more recent? What little I've seen of him under the outfit is a mess of lumps, but not oozing leprosy.

That's actually some pretty good advice. I guess the real problem is that I know where I want to go, I just don't quite know how to get there. Like driving to an unfamiliar place 600 miles away but having no map or GPS.

Also, I have seen the preview. Blob's a complete monster. I hope they get him, if not in this issue, then in the next one.

Thanks. I'm only that patient with beginning fan writers who write about my favorite characters. (Not that I'm a raging monster otherwise, but I haven't the patience to try to help writers who don't write something that interests me in the first place.)
I'm willing to read over other writers' efforts and make suggestions, as long as it's not a terribly long story. (Just takes up too much time and I don't get my own writing done.) Also don't mind discussing ideas for stories. Fair warning: I'm a real nit-picker of spelling and grammar, but can be persuaded to ignore that sort of thing until you're down to a final draft.

If anyone wants my opinion on a story in progress, let me know and we'll take it over to private email. I'm not sure whether this Forum would be a suitable place for detailed discussion of a story, but perhaps it would be OK to discuss a story plot or idea on here, as long as it didn't take over everything else going on.

The mutilations came from Dr. Killebrew at Hospice. I actually didn't mean literal leprosy, just the boils and scarring that he is covered in. The current Deadpool story arc might be restoring his looks, though. That is the rumour.

In an interview with Remender, he seems to want to turn the villains in the new Brotherhood into a long-term nemesis for X-Force. That is the impression I got, anyway. Judging by the cover of issue #27, Blob will be in with Mystique and the Omegas.

Blob is horrible. Who wants to take bets that his eventual death involves some type of explosion from the inside out (especially considering AoA Blob's cannibalistic tendencies)?

I do have to admit that the issue from Dark Angel saga that has Fantomex as a Blob suppository gave me a fit of the giggles.

Well, if his looks are improved and it carries over into UXF, that's what I'll be writing. If not, I have to use what I've got. My assumption is that he's still looking terrible, at this point. Part of the challenge would be how to handle sex with someone in that condition. Who comes on to who, for what reason? And what do they do together that isn't absolutely revolting? And how do they feel about it afterwards? Clearly, not your average sex story. The working title is "Of Angry Elves and Mouthy Mercenaries". Got no real idea of when it will be finished, but probably months rather than weeks. (Good thing about being an amateur writer is that there are no deadlines. I'd hate to have to write to a deadline.)

Haha go look up Deadpool #43 (**I think**) . You'll meet his stalker and HE thinks SHE is gross. Bastard sure is picky for a guy that looks like he's been though a meat grinder.

That being said, scars don't bother me but the fact that he is portrayed without lips or portions on his nose... that is just nasty.

I do think it would be interesting to read Wade's first person account in those situations because he is an absolute lunatic! lol

PS I just got back Free Comic Book Day at my LCS. I ended up picking up Manifest Destiny (the ones Sundowhn just posted) Teehee! Scored a bunch of silly stuff for free. Super fun day!

I think I'm okay -- I've got my momentum kink worked out. But if I need help later, I'll be sure to let you know. :)

Also, Sundowhn, I would be happy to bet that Blob implodes. That would be gory. And so very justified.

Oh, and I also went to Free Comic Book Day! They were having a raffle and I saw this amazing Dark Phoenix Saga statue of Nightcrawler. I really wanted to win it, so I bought seven tickets and stood by for two sets of drawings, but then I left because there were two guys who'd bought, like, 300 tickets each, and I figured there was no way I'd win it. :(

I don't do fanfict, not that I'd share my nonsense publicly. Heheee. But by all means discuss away!

Aww suckage! My comic day was severely lacking in the Nightcrawler Department! But I was happy that Manifest Destiny was sitting right up front just waiting for me when I got to the bins ^_^

I scored a "Woman of Marvel" Poster which much to my utter joy was done by Alan Davis! Score!

[Sundowhn]

Jeez, I miss having a local comic book store. I'm stuck with subscriptions or buying digital in my area.
