If you don't love me now...
Sitting here listening to Fleetwood Mac & feeling gloomy.
What if I got this written in some form, & tried submitting "Wild West Wonder Woman" to DC? I expect it'd be rejected. And then I'd feel down, even though I expected rejection.
And then, could I take it, file off the bits that are their trademarks, & do it as its own thing? Well, even if there's a lot new in the treatment as it would look right now, it makes sense to me as existing in the past of a version of Diana. And the fountain of youth aspect of Paradise Island is a thing, but I guess doesn't have to be; it's not the main point of the concept, just something I inherited.
And then I realized--I could attach a form of this to another concept I already have. I've had a few different "not quite Wonder Woman" takes that exist as rough sketches in my head, including A___ C________, which has been stalled for ages because I never pinned down what to do with the character's power set if she doesn't quite have Wondy powers. I could tweak this and put it in that universe, or my "daughter of a fey queen (& the fey queen looks like Cassandra Wilson)" concept, or the "superheroine from a tropical island" concept. It wouldn't be the same, but it could be mine.
Hrmm.
I really need to pick one of these and write a story with it.
