Building a canon: marrying the narrative arc of Gatchaman to Battle of the Planets.

[icarusancalion]

Have been over-commenting in astolat's journal, as she's pretty much the only person to write my first fandom love, Battle of the Planets. As a kid, I loved this show so much, I'd get up--in summer vacation--at 6am to watch

AAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAAA! BATTLE OF THE PLANETS!!!!! OMG that was my favorite show when I was a little kid. Now I need to see what the Japanese version was like. Can you expand more on the differences and the narrative arc of Gatchaman?

Because it's the greatest!

Have you signed up for Yuletide? Because Battle of the Planets is in there, and I'm considering doing my first real Yuletide.

Here's more about the differences in the character arc, especially Mark's.

I'm working a lot, like a lot a lot, right now. I'm making time to work on my novel but everything else has to fall by the wayside I'm afraid.

I dithered back and forth about it. In truth, there's only one fandom I want to write: this one.

But no one had selected it. So I was unlikely to matched on it.

Still planned to do Yuletide, though not sure ... and finally missed the deadline.

Am so down, trying to find an understanding fandom friend to talk to about this, but no luck.
