On pace for 30k words. Scavvers is getting afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, like I said, I'm condensing most of the of the middle of the season. I pretty much adapted the first three episodes as they're very much important to setting up the the overarching narrative of the rest of the movie. I'm aiming for under 20,000 but we'll see if that comes to fruition. Thinking about it, it'd be hilarious to hold the record for word count.

cookie Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 TSW2 is shorter than the original, both in word count and content. How much shorter I'm not ready to disclose yet. 👀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record I've done a revised version of the original that's shaved off a decent bit and I want the second film to fall well under that.

I will be trying to read some of the predecessors of the sequels this year to have stuff fresh in my mind when I go into the new films, something I haven't done yet so far in this game. I definitely need a refresher on Voltron and especially Scavvies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely need a refresher on Voltron and especially Scavvies. The revised version is getting a re-release in early Y5 (it's basically finished, just waiting on Part II being done) and has a drastically altered epilogue so if you're going back I recommend you take a look at that. You don't need to refresh yourself that much on Voltron to get through the third one, mainly just on how the second one went down.

Xillix Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 AmDrag 3 is really, REALLY fucking hard on me you guys. Was not expecting this to feel so complicated, haha. Once I'm done I'm done, I don't see myself going back and really doing serious edits/revisions because I've spent way too much time on it already. So if it winds up being a total mess I apologize in advance :x 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expedition Everest ain't happening this year (partially due to the Liam Neeson controversy and mostly lack of time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watch the pilot episode on Netflix and then start reading after they first defeat Sendak and you're basically good.

I think it's good to have someone with actual Chinese heritage close out the trilogy. Plus it's partially set in/around Hong Kong so I feel like it's a good fit especially for this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xillix Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 At this point this movie has caused me enough grief that it's nothing but a chore and I have no choice but to make myself not care to avoid going crazy. The third act is gonna be a bullet point summary now. Whoopee. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
