    ...okay now I want to give you the draft to the story that will never be complete (because SailorSol and I no longer write together) about Cam and the Samurai Rangers, because holy shit but does this get discussed there - what exactly makes Kevin Jayden's Blue, how lucky the team is for Emily and Mike and how they're the only ones on that team with proper Colour-instincts, Antonio having an advantage because he didn't inherit his Colour and morpher, the whole shebang. You're seriously right on the nose.

    (There was going to be a Cam-and-the-Samurai fic. And a Space fic. And a Once A Ranger fic. And possibly a bunch more I don't remember off the top of my head. But then the partnership fell apart and *palms up*.)

      Oh. I’m glad that we thought on the same wavelength, but I’m also sad that your partnership fell apart. That had to suck.

      If you’re still open for sending that draft of Cam and the Samurai and Color Issues, this is honestly the coolest Color Theory I’ve seen, so I’d love it if you want to!

      Also, since Dino Charge is finished, how do you think they did without a Yellow? Had to jolt the team dynamic a bit.

      Also also, Abby left NCIS! What do you think about that?

        Sent!

        I didn't watch Dino Charge (I fell off somewhere in Megaforce and hadn't come back yet) but I heard about the lack of yellow! I'll need to watch to figure out how that works. Possibly it's something like the way we explained RJ's morpher in this 'verse - as a blue/pink hybrid instead of "purple" being its own colour, which goes towards how the JF team stays in one piece despite not having a Pink. (WF got extremely lucky with Alyssa's personality.)

        And wow, no Abby? I heard DiNozzo's actor left, too. Sounds like at this point Gibbs' actor is basically holding the show.

          THE DRAFT OF THIS STORY IS A DELIGHT I’m so sad that it’s not going to be published

          Which Red nearly conquered the galaxy?

          BUT THE TEAM DYNAMICS. CAM AND THE TEAM. CAM POKING EVERY HOLE AND FIGURING OUT HOW IT WORKS. THE RANGERS BEING HALF RANGERS AND GETTING NO POWER BENEFITS. I just!!!

            Let's just say that iS happened very differently in this timeline. About the same kind of Different that NS did. If you want that draft you'll have to bug Sol, though; it was her story. (The Samurai story was co-written - Cam and the Samurai were mine, TJ and Justin and several others of that lot were hers.)

            And YES. It drove me completely crazy the way the Samurai team kept getting injured and wiped out in the first half of the series. Like, that's not what Rangers are FOR, it makes no SENSE. Then it dramatically improved in the second half, in Super Samurai. So that was an obvious in to use. The rest is Cam, doing what Cam does.

            (These years later, I think I'm still somewhat sad about the STH stories that will never be. We had so many plans. Alas.)

              So I was rereading the draft again and this time I noticed the digs against Andrew Hartford and was like “soooo Overdrive did not go well” and it literally took me until this comment to remember that Tori was in the OaR crew. Oh dear.

                That was one of the things we were going to change. The Canon team doesn't make sense. The plan was to have Carter as Red, TJ as Blue, Kira as Yellow, Kimberly as Pink, and... I can't remember who was Black/Green. But it still had interesting repercussions.

                  Not Xander as Green? But that WOULD have been a cool team-up.

                    Oh, it was Xander! Thank you for reminding me.

            One of these days, I plan on revisiting the iS story, Down to Dust. It's about 2/3 complete, but Life Happened, and I haven't had much time for writing of any kind in the past few years as I balance work and work travel, theater, master's classes, and family/friends.

              I hope that you have more time to write soon, or at least that the balancing leads to more free time!

              ...Also I have to admit: I can’t read STH. Torture is basically a NOPE for me. So if the iS rewrite has similar kinds of torture and trauma, I can’t promise that I’ll read it.

                Not any outright torture, but a lot of mind fuckery. I don't think the violence escalated beyond Canon levels.

                  Great! Then if you finish writing it, I promise to comment on every chapter!
