My Personal Plans for Writing for the Site

[DiscipleofBob]

For the sake of transparency, I thought I'd share some of my plans, not as admin, but as a writer. This isn't me calling dibs on future titles. If someone else claims a title that would change one of my future plans, so be it. It wouldn't be the first time I've had to alter my plans because of others' claims, and I'm not going to hold any grudges over anything.

First of all, Ultimate Wonder Woman will continue, and will continue for a while. The main plot is planned and will probably go into at least the twenty chapters before the current main plot has a chance to end, and I already have future plot ideas in mind. I'm definitely committed to continuing this title if nothing else on the site, if for no other reason than if I dropped, my wife would kill me.

My original plan for a second title was Titans Academy, an Ultimization of Teen Titans. The general idea was a "Hogwarts for Heroes." The school's headmaster would be Ted Kord. There would be accomplished heroes for the faculty, and a lot of the initial conflict would be from rival students. My "main" characters included a modern version of Terry McGinnis, Mary Marvel, Static, and Blue Beetle III. Other characters I was thinking of using for "rival" Titans included Ray Palmer's generation of Titans and the Super Young Team. There would have also been plenty of room for "students" from other titles, and could have eventually led to there being multiple Teen Titans for multiple writers. Unfortunately my main character was going to be Terry McGinnis, and while I'd been working with Wachter when he had Batman, his disappearance put a damper on those plans. Maybe as a group title we can do something like this later.

In exploring possibilities to get some other main DC characters established, I've been working on what I think would make a good Ultimate Flash story. It would be a reboot of the character. It would not be permanent and it would not be nearly as long as UWW either.

I've had other ideas that if I get the opportunity I may explore in the future as well.

This is very enlightening, Bob.Its nice to see you have long term plans - I also have long term plans, especially for Primal Forces. I've got a plot that will build up to a big, hopefully clear and satisfying, confrontation. I realise that I've seemingly done my best to make this as confusing as possible, so I do apologies to everyone for that. I was writing this novel like, forgetting that serial story telling don't work that way.

So, yes, I have big plans for the structure of the elemental world, the structure of Siegleville and for my characters and their lives.

I've spoken to Bob briefly about maybe having a sub-board called Weird War Tales, that focuses on stories that happened during the Elemental War, before Primal Forces #1.

I did have plans to spin out a second title from Primal Forces, but was of two minds for the focus. One was a title that was set in the future, that I was going to spin out of something I plan on calling 'The Children's Crusade' after the Fifth Week event from DC YEARS AGO.

The other was to introduce New Elemental Forces that weren't based on nature, they were based on cultural things humans have created, like Cities, and Technology etc.

Who knows, I may end up doing that - may not. We'll see I guess! But, I have lots of plans for the future.

I really like the Titans Academy idea.

My primary title that I want to start is the Ultimate Outsiders. I have also come up with a mini series idea called Ultimate Escape. It would feature Mister Miracle and Big Barda as they try to escape from a prison space station. That's far down the line once Ultimate Outsiders is established.
