RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, BOOK TWO COUNTDOWN, Chapter Eight
In my on-going shameless attempt to maintain buzz about my new novel, RAIN OF THE GHOSTS, due out in stores and on-line on December 3rd, 2013 (but available for pre-order NOW on Amazon, etc.), I've decided to countdown my progress on writing the SECOND book in the Rain franchise.
I just finished writing Chapter Eight. I think it turned out to be a fairly authentic conversation over dinner between a thirteen-year-old and her parents. I hope so, anyway. Need to ground my magical fantasy in some truly human reality.
Hopefully, you guys'll be the judge of that soon enough.
1) Did Red Arrow or Green Arrow tell Nightwing about Arsenal's attempt on Luthor's life in "Satisfaction"? I'm assuming not, otherwise why would Nightwing send Arsenal on the stakeout in "True Colours" without fear of it being too personal a mission for the latter?
2) Is Arsenal B-24, since he seems to be the most recent addition to the Team after Impulse?
1. SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT.
2. He's B-25. Guardian is B-24.
Spoilers ahoy!
Wow, Greg. Just wow. True Colors blew my mind. It was like pure, bottled awesome broadcast through the TV. Loved the Atom/Bumblebee surgury bit, but was Impulse really qualified to be in an operating room? I'd be scared he'd see something shiny and go nuts. Jamie's hesitation to go on the mission was perfectly scripted and acted, and I loved Arsenal's new look, costume, hairstyle, everything. Robin in a leadership role was cool again. And Pa Kent was just awesome. Liked Impulse's impaitence, and the stealth-tech punch in the arm. More Black Beetle was great, as was Arsenal's want to cause Luthor grief. The Light's conference with Sportsmaster was great. I thought someone was going to leave that room in a body bag. And Deathstroke... One of my all time favorite villains in Young Justice caused me some serious freaking out. But the Psimon/Aqualad "therapy session" is gonna end up with some serious repercussions. And the Green Beetle was just... Completely unexpected and totally epic. Gaahh, I'm going obsessed fanboy. Just a couple questions, though.
1. Did Impulse really have any business in the operating room, or was he there for, like, moral support?
2. Where did the idea come from for Deathstroke to have a ponytail? Not finding fault, in a strange way it works.
3. Is the Martian with the scarab actually from mainstream DC? Or was it a new creation for the show?
Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a wonderful show. This episode blew my expectations out of the water. Can't wait for The Fix!!
1. Impulse was a spectator at a surprisingly non-invasive procedure (which constituted two intravenous injections only - one to put Atom and Bumblebee in and the other to get them out).
2. That damn ponytail. <sigh> The ponytail was Phil Bourassa's idea, supported by Brandon Vietti. That's right, I'm hanging them both out to dry on the ponytail! HANGING THEM. OUT. TO DRY. I never liked it, but I was outvoted two to one. (But I'm glad you liked it.)
3. He was basically created for the show, extrapolating from what we know about the Reach and Mars, which of course was all based on DC Comics (through an Earth-16 lens).
In the past, has a relationship between Dick and Artemis ever been seriously considered?
Do you mean a romantic relationship? If so, then no.
Young Justice is the reason I awoke after 23 solid years of uninterrupted slumber. My gratitude...
Zzz...
I'd respond, but it looks like you've gone back to sleep.
Greg, when is Artemis, Miss Martian, Aqualad and many other of the citizens' birthdates?
As I've stated before, I have NOT assigned specific birth dates to anyone until or unless I require those for a specific story. Only birth years.
Hi Greg,
I have no idea if this has been asked or answered before but, have you read/watched the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling? And if so, what Hogwarts Houses do you think the Team (2010 and 2016) belong to?
It's okay if you aren't that knowledgeable about it and don't want to delve into that specificity, but I - as a fan - am just curious. :) Love your shows!
1. I have read all seven books (and the Deathly Hallows follow-up), listened to all seven books-on-tape and seen all eight movies.
2. Your guess is as good as mine.
A couple of questions about Beast Boy...
1. Does his morphing suit only capable of those two modes, uniform and collarI know youve said before that those are the only two he knows how...but with practice, could he, for example make, a saddle for his horse form?
2. Does he have an idenic memory? It just seems to me for some reason that he does...maby because he says "noted" a lot and recites animal facts.
Also I've made this plea in the past, and you mentioned it coud go either way...but, if its still not decided yet PLEASE don't make him vegitarian. I'm sure whatever you decide to do will work out great for the show, but I have a couple points that might sway you to the meat side...
First, its BEAST boy, not "hippy d-bag boy". Second, hes a Human, an omnivore, who can become other animals, not a rabbit who can take Human form. And, finally, your own version of him spends most of the time as a hybrid monkey...also omnivores.
Please dont take this as me trying to tell you how to write your show...like I said, it.will be a great story either way. Its just that Changling was my second favorie Titan (after Nightwing, of course)...until they made him vegitarian...after that I never saw him the same way. It was like "Oh no! A ferocious tiger! Oh, never mind...its a vegitarian."
1. No. He's not psychic and so cannot control it psychically. It's been "pre-programmed" by Miss Martian to react to his transformations by retracting to collar form and vice versa. Beast Boy doesn't control it AT ALL.
2. I have no reason to think so. But he's a bright kid.
3. Not that we addressed his eating habits on the series one way or another, but you MUST see that writing this request in January of 2013 was pointless. We finished ALL production in October of 2012. We couldn't honor ANY requests after that, even if we were so inclined.
Crap. Meant to ask this in the last post. Whoops.
Did you ever consider putting Despero in YJ as the awesome, world-threatening chess fanatic?
Did I miss any chess refrences in Cornered? Because I didn't see any... But I don't know.
I guess not.
You've previously stated that Kid Flash is a Harry Potter fan. But after his doing-everything-in-his-power-to-deny-magic bit in Denial, it seems strange that he would read a book about a teenaged wizard. And the quote that led to the HP fan question was in the same episode. I don't know. Something there just doesn't connect in this screwed-up brain of mine. Does he read it to laugh at the 'stupidity' of it? Or just for the entertainment value?
Thanks. Loving Invasion, by the way. Cornered was amazing.
Kid Flash has/had nothing against the portrayal of magic as FICTION. That was his whole point. IT'S FICTION. He may not think STAR WARS literally happened either, but that doesn't mean he's not a fan.
I mean do you believe in everything YOU enjoy as fiction?
