Week In Review | January Week 4
Jan. 26th, 2019 11:14 amSneezing, scifi & scribbling
About 6 more days to go until I finish this story. This is the longest I have spent on a single fanfiction project.
Writing, more than creating in any other kind of medium, requires much more patience when it comes to creating more than a 100-word drabble which I can now finish in the same amount of time it takes me to complete a simple gifset. Even if I don't make it to the finish line, I'd have cultivated my patience more than if I chose to create more graphics or do something else.
A bout of runny nose and cough got me to slow down and think more about the words I'm putting down. Done with the main action of the fic, I went back to the start to do some scifi-ish worldbuilding. It's trickier than I thought, leading me back to seek out published work for references.
Read Joan Silber's The Art of Time in Fiction
Found this in a rec from this DW post on the problem of transitions. It's a thin little volume that can be finished in a couple of sittings. There's an analysis of a book called Einstein's Dreams on how time works differently in different worlds which I plan to check out next.
7 more episodes of Time Force to go!
I still can't wrap my head around my problem with finishing Sentais, but I don't want to leave more shows unfinished, so I just clicked on the next episode and continued.
Alex, like Ryuuya, is a dick, but at least not one with some kind of latent God Complex. The differences between the two and their direction of the Rangers' actions is what differentiates the Sentai and the adaptation, both in terms of plot points and themes. Fans who attempt to compare the two could hammer home even more the contrasting roles of Red's 30th Century Descendant, but maybe it doesn't really matter since both shows are well-known enough to get new people to watch (and re-watch) each year.
