Ever since I first started reading Harry Potter, I have been trying on and off to develop an idea of how the Jamaican wizarding community might be, and considered writing a story about a Jamaican witch or wizard. Living in Jamaica, of course, not abroad. With the new expansions to the Potterverse in the form of the American, Asian, African, etc wizarding communities that Rowling has put on Pottermore and in the new Fantastic Beasts movie, I think there's pretty good reason to revisit that idea.
I never really could come up with a conflict/plot worth expanding on, though... So... who knows if I'll ever write it.
Give the Gods back their Honour
For a long time, I've thought that the Egyptian God Cards/Cards of the Gods of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters were not... Egyptian enough. Not very true to the mythos. I mean, what does a sky/heavenly dragon have to do with Osiris? Why was the Obelisk chosen to be the Giant God Soldier? (Or Tormenter in the English verison.) Only the Winged Dragon of Ra seems to be a true reflection of the sun God; though it's a dragon, it looks avian (Ra is a falcon-headed god), has a spherical mode (a nod to the sun-disk), and has a phoenix mode (a nod to the daily resurrection of the god).
So, what's the point of saying all of that? Well, I thought maybe I'd (re-)envision the idea of the Monsters of the Gods, and maybe invent some. I have the beginnings of concepts for monsters connected to Hapi (god of the Nile) and Ma'at (goddess of peace/order) already. Maybe, over time, I'll draw them and post them here. It should be fun!

NaNo is in a few days...
...and I still haven't decided if I'm going to try it again. Two years ago, the first and only time I tried, I wrote a grand total of 302 words... :D
I feel like just sitting and writing doesn't work for me. Having a self-imposed target like that puts too much pressure into the writing process... But maybe that's what I need? If I'm going to truly be a pro writer, then I should be able to just... write.
It would be hard with school and work, but... Oh, well...
Anyway, if you want to be my writing buddy on NaNo, my username is Kenliano. Maybe I'll try. And aim for 400 words this time. Hehe.
Should I try NaNo this year?
What do you think? Are you trying NaNo this year?
One of my old stories...
I just re-read one of my old short stories, a tribute to CaribbeanRose9 (https://www.deviantart.com/caribbeanrose9)'s character Sailor Sirius.
Man... I can't believe how long we've known each other, Rose! :)
Digimon Adventure tri: I'm UPSET!!!!
If you haven't watched Digimon Adventure tri yet, there's some spoilers in this journal entry, so... read at your own peril.
Those who've been following my page are aware that I started writing a Digimon fanfiction: Digimon Reboot. I've had the idea for years, but finally decided to start it when I found out that Digimon Adventure tri was being released to mark Digimon's 15th anniversary.
I love tri, honestly. I do. But When I watched part three last month, I was in for an unpleasant surprise. A major plot point of my story was in it: the idea of rebooting the Digital World!
Of course, I know that the writers didn't steal my idea or anythi

Your ideas are really awesome As a Harry Potter fan, I also wondered how the Brazilian community of wizards would be like
And about your Yu-Gi-Oh ideas, they're really awesome! I would love to see a monster based on Hapi or Ma'at Actually I had a similar idea myself... I was planning to draw a card for Apophis and it would be called "Apophis, the Serpent of Chaos" as I believe Apophis was behind everything that happened in the Egyptian Arc
