Questionable Questing

Enter Red, the inner Hyde who plots and enacts mind fuck schemes to get him a harem of bitches. But Red is an asshole, funny one like Nicole, but he has a friend of his femboyed while fucking the girl he's having pretend to like him.

Femboy best friend, I like the sound of that. But no if I was going to do a class of 09 fanfic, I would probably make Nichole transgender. lol. Which probably sounds really random, but it's a way to make her extreme hatred of men more understandable. Because like I said when all the dudes or evil, being evil back is fine. But if you make them 3D characters, suddenly being evil to them isn't as funny.

But I don't want to take away Nichole's trademark evil bitchiness since that's the core of her character. But by making her transgender, her hatred of men is a reflection of the hatred she feels towards herself and since her arc center's around discovering herself and learning to be a better person, her discovering girlhood and being comfortable in her own body nicely fits all that.

And powers or something else? Got to have some action, some spice to layer on top of things so it isn't just real life bullshit

Well going with the same themes and ideas I would either do some kind of bimbofication spell or some kind of drug for obvious thematic reasons, or I would play around with the idea of a time loop. Give the old ground hog day special so to speak, of Nichole slowly becoming a better person as she's forced to relive the year 09 a million times using the lack of consequences as an excuse for crazy hijinks.

Jeffery you want the hyde dark side thing or something else?

Jeffery would remain the geeky side character to be picked on, but I would give him his own mini arc and maybe a girlfriend or something. Maybe have him and Nicole have a real little heart to heart about the pressure of being pretty and being lonely.

But Mark first. One project at a time

Of course. Of course. I'm actually struggling with Mark a little bit. Just not liking how the beginning is working out. Just so much lore dumping that's stupidly essential considering I have to make a realistic DC universe with Viltrum inhabiting it. Which is cool, world building is fun for me. But it's finding ways to transmit all that info to the readers in a in-character way I'm struggling with.

Do it over many chapters. That's what Pale Lights did. Worldbuilding not all at once but through the events of chapter after chapter. Start small, work your way through

That's what I'm thinking, it's just a pain you know? I don't like how much it sounds like my Hazbin chapter at times.

But you going to sleep soon?

Your Hazbin chapter had character voice issues with the dialogue and spotty scene focus. What do you need to introduce to your readers as the very first concepts in the very first chapter only

Soonish.

I need to introduce the adopted kids and their dynamics in the family, plus a rudimentary overview of the current Justice league. And when I say rudimentary, literally a five seconds blurb of the chain of command and the relations between the top members will do.

Its the adopted family and getting the vibes for the whole Nolan family down that's kind of stumping me.

I sleep and talk about that more tomorrow. What in particular is the trouble with Nolan and family dynamic

Sleep well, it's just getting it down in a way that feels natural. I mean it's simple enough saying Raven's shy, but I want to physically show it in as few words as possible. But it's not just raven being shy, it's the awkward tension she has with Debbie, the rivalry with Blackfrie, the unexpected friendship with Ravager. Against its getting a lot of information down in a short period.

And since all these character are main ones, and going to be very important moving forward I have to get it down perfectly. Especially since this is the beginning when the action is a little slow, I need the relationships and characters to act as my hook.

Too much at once. Let's start crafting a scene
