I posted this in the plus4chan IKAG thread, but I'll re-post it to the weekly thread too.
In regards to the IKAG pastebin Artist user put together:
I've only had time to read through the "opening story attempts" so far since I've been busy with my own writing project, but here are my thoughts so far since the Sunday thread is going to be made late due to Mother's Day.
I feel Conner's past is better hinted at than shown at the start of the story. It creates more mystery/intrigue that way.
If there needs to be an origin for the bartering, then maybe tie it into how he got the raw materials for the augment suit, or how he bribed his way into creating an opportunity to "borrow" the official augment suit while making his own. After his recovery, he keeps doing the trades because people still come to him asking for things. He's compelled to be useful and sees this as the only interactions he'll get where people aren't afraid he'll blow up a building again.
I think it is a mistake to put ALL of the super kids in the same class. Amelia should not start off in the same class as Conner, she'll put herself in that class once she takes a personal interest in him. He should only come to her attention via his deeds which, ironically, would be an accomplishment Conner can't refuse credit for. Furthermore, I thought Hayleigh was older than Rudy and Conner, did she get held back a year to be in the same class as them?
Maybe my perspective is a bit off, but I think the best opening story is to just throw Conner in the middle of one of his trades, see how readers respond to it, and then see what kind of story you want to tell VS the type of story they think you are trying to tell.
Dang character limit. Cont.

Ah, I see. Now the censored swears make sense. Pastebin's policies really have gone off of the deep end.
I tried up add my Bullion #6 script to the bin I've been sticking them in and it rejected it for inappropriate content. The shitters. We could just make use of the wiki for an easy place to dump and edit text. It does have user pages and blogs for that sort of thing.
Who did the later commentary on the shuttlecock story? They have a point about not every story needing huge escalation. That's something I realized with the Pepper intro story, it didn't need massive escalation, it just needed a conflict and it was a fairly low grade conflict that also helped to introduce Amelia more to the the readers.
That's all I have so far, I haven't had time to read through all of the other story drafts yet.
Brayden Scott
And the last little bit the Bullion #6 script I didn't finish last thread.
Page 12
Panel 1
Bullion is laying Iris down on the roof, she's knocked out. Olympian is standing next to them, inspecting Iris.
Bullion: "She's OK, just unconcious."
Olympian: "Whatever these black things are seem to tax a person's mind."
Panel 2
Close up of Olympian, looking sly and upwards at Bullion.
Olympian: "So, how did you get it off her?"
Panel 3
Bullion is readjusting her shirt, pulling it down so the rip isn't letting her girls fly free. In the background Billy has turned his head and is whisteling, like he's trying not to stare.
Bullion: "My hunch was right."
Panel 4
Bullion has her hand up indicating she wants the jar from Billy who is handing it over, it hasn't changed hands yet. Olympian looks shocked.
Olympian: "A hunch?! Kid, you're way too reckless!"
Bullion: "Look. Whatever this thing is-"
Panel 5
Close up of the jar, the black bars are pressed up against the side of it as far away from Bullion as it can get. Bullion is leaning down to show Olympian and Billy is leaning down to get a closer look at it.
Bullion: "-it really hates being near me."

And I'm off for probably the next 7 hours or so to spend the day with my mom and grandma.
So good luck to the thread.

>I feel Conner's past is better hinted at than shown at the start of the story. It creates more mystery/intrigue that way.
Ok, save it for later down the line, if at all, rather than getting it out the way
>I think it is a mistake to put ALL of the super kids in the same class.
If you can elaborate on this later on when you have free time, I'd like to hear your reasoning
>Amelia should not start off in the same class as Conner, she'll put herself in that class once she takes a personal interest in him. He should only come to her attention via his deeds which, ironically, would be an accomplishment Conner can't refuse credit for.
Good rationale
>Furthermore, I thought Hayleigh was older than Rudy and Conner, did she get held back a year to be in the same class as them?
Is she that much older? I thought it was a few minutes difference between her and Rudy, and they were all in the same grade as a result. Since having them all in the same class was the important part
>Maybe my perspective is a bit off, but I think the best opening story is to just throw Conner in the middle of one of his trades, see how readers respond to it, and then see what kind of story you want to tell VS the type of story they think you are trying to tell.
Finding a good trade story to start with is still difficult. I need to restart the teddybear story as well
>Ah, I see. Now the censored swears make sense. Pastebin's policies really have gone off of the deep end.
Yeah it seems like you can get away with one or two 'shit's but if you go with a few of them and/or 'fuck', 'cock', 'porn' then the system gets mad about it, even if it's part of a legit word
>Who did the later commentary on the shuttlecock story? They have a point about not every story needing huge escalation.
I did, there's a couple drafts I ended up adding notes or contextless thoughts to at the very bottom
Hunter Green
Dunno if you have a Pastebin account but you can also sent people DMs on that site if that's necessary
Parker Mitchell
Should Golden Girl/Guardian's eyes just simply be golden?
It only makes sense really.
Kevin Collins
Alexander Parker
Adrian Ortiz
Debate has happened about it before
I think gold is fine
Luke Sanders
might as well post the other ones too
Camden Reed
It's been years and nobody has been able to come to an agreement yet.
Luke Powell
Dylan Jackson
I don't have any problem with anyone making their own choice
I personally always fill her eyes in black, but I'm also still getting comfortable with using color so I don't feel I would be the expert
Michael Lopez
Great Job
I'm loving reading through this
Grayson Morris
Anyone else having trouble posting?
It keeps crashing for me
Tyler Hill
>It only makes sense really.
Why do people keep saying that? It totally does not.
Adrian Butler
yeah, thanks for the save btw. Yea Forums is fucking screwy today.
I remember it being said that Silver Queen has silver eyes. Then it makes sense for GG to have golden eyes. Like George Lucas would said, "It rhythms."
Gabriel James
>I remember it being said that Silver Queen has silver eyes.
I can't find ANY mention of that being a thing in the archives. Nor can I imagine WHY it would be a thing.
Ryan Barnes
Because if user spams it eventually he can claim that everyone agrees with him.
Truth is Silver Queen has closed eyes. That's their color. Not open. IF she had to has an eye color it'd likely be blue, seeing as how Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman all have blue eyes and they're her chief inspirations.
As for Audrey her having gold eyes makes no sense and is likely a dumb thing from that /aco/ guy that is essentially trying to make an OC that's modern era with superpowers and is too lazy or dumb to just drop the act.
Christopher Hughes
Don't forget Yea Forumslette's other daughter
Zachary Ramirez
Red hair, green eyes. Red and green's a good colour combo, look at Sailor Jupiter
Brody Sanchez

Charles Lee
I remember it being said that she had silver eyes. Or maybe I'm imagining it, I dunno.
I'm not from /aco/. I don't post there and I barely even go there.
Lucas Adams
what does OC mean when it comes to community characters?
Samuel Roberts
Happy mother's day. I don't have any character in mind because most of my ocs who happen to be mothers are also lesbian mothers (?) lol
Jacob Perry
Original Character
Jack Phillips
>when it comes to community characters
as opposed to OC of copyrighted characters
Adrian Gray
sorry

Benjamin Lee
I'm from the/aco/ but I don't agree nor care what he's doing to GG. From what I gathered it looks like he's trying to turn her into a supergirl type hero. It really doesn't big be but it did give me an idea I might do later, you'll see.
As for the eye color, I think it's best as black or pupilless. Golden looks like she's being hypnotized but at the same time it's whatever for me.
Grayson Adams
It’s also Mother’s Day for Be/ck/y as well
Wonder what kid cookie will get for his momma
Leo Bailey
>Or maybe I'm imagining it, I dunno.
I'm pretty sure you did, because that's just ridiculous.
Lincoln Gutierrez
>If you can elaborate on this later on when you have free time, I'd like to hear your reasoning
That way you don't need to have all of the super kids established from the start and if you have a need for a certain power as a plot demands, you can just say they're from some other class.
> I thought it was a few minutes difference between her and Rudy
I was always under the impression she was like a year older than him. Just from the designs and how much more entrenched she was in the social hierarchy.
>I need to restart the teddybear story as well
Don't fall for the trap of feeling you need to re-do things over and over after each new idea. You never get anything done that way, trust me, I'd never finish a story if I acted on every "but I can do it better now, I've improved since then" impulse. At some point you just need to move forward to the next plot and apply everything you learned from the last plot to the next one.
I think her eyes should be brown or green.
I associate yellow eyes with disease or evil intent.
"He had yellow eyes! Yellow eyes!"
The shade you have in the pic isn't bad though. It's brown enough to not feel supernatural.
The next part is one I have some notes for that have been on the wiki page where the GG scripts are being kept.
Should I move the Bullion scripts to the same page? It might not be too bad if I can figure out how to use wikia's spoiler feature so each story is contained in their own collapsible "folder".
I thought Silver Queen had tarnished silver eyes to indicate how blind she was? But then again, she's not actually blind so I don't know how much merit the idea has.
Who could? There was a pic of her I wanted to post, but I felt the mods these days would've banned me if I had.
Logan Edwards
>I thought Silver Queen had tarnished silver eyes to indicate how blind she was?
No, that's what the hero-squint represents.
Wyatt Morgan
You don't associate yellow eyes with Honor?
Tyler Martinez
Nope, he's not the first character to come to mind when I hear yellow eyes.
Ratigan is what comes to my mind first when I think yellow eyes. Second is the narration from A Christmas Story.
Right.
I have one scene planned for near the climax of the Bullion code arc for when Silver Queen actually opens her eyes.
Kayden Stewart
What about sci fi robots?
Ian Reed
I only remember his eyes as being black. When I watched TNG, it was always in poorer quality.
Grayson Sanchez
imagined maybe, but ridiculous seems like a pretty strong word when it comes to superheroes.
Thomas Wilson
As promised, here's a list of all the BQ story write-ups I did.
Daniel Gonzalez
Wouldn't being a freckled redhead require green or blue eyes?
Luis King
I tried googling it. Got mixed results
>cosmopolitan.com
>Blue eyes and red hair forms the rarest combo on earth. Most (natural) redheads will have brown eyes, followed by hazel or green shades.
It's worth considering that red hair is overrepresented in fiction where exotic combinations are already more common. And as for Audrey specifically it's worth noting hair is more brown-red than true red.
It's a pun. It's AUburn hair. CHESTnut hair.
Jaxon Long
I suddenly desire a gif of Golden Girl attempting a rimshot on the drums and messing it up
Isaiah Jenkins
She is really hot in this shot.
James Cooper
She's always hot.
Levi Morris
Going with green eyes may be the least offensive eye color for redheads in fiction. You can't really go wrong with it I suppose. Maybe I should go with it.
>I'm from the/aco/ but I don't agree nor care what he's doing to GG. From what I gathered it looks like he's trying to turn her into a supergirl type hero. It really doesn't big be but it did give me an idea I might do later, you'll see.
I always imagined 90s GG as an amalgam of different superheroines. She has a bit of the Rogue look with her bandana and feathered hair. She blocks attacks with her bangles like Wonder Woman. She's strong LIKE Supergirl but I never imagined her as strong as Supergirl. When it comes to bullet resistance I never got a clear answer from anybody. Personally I like to imagine that bullets don't kill her (outright) but do beat her up (creating large welts) so its worth dodging or blocking them.
Regardless I'm glad I at least inspired you.
Mason Harris
Extremely rare Briana smile.
Joseph Gomez
Looking good.
Yeah, in this instance with Pinprick also having yellow eyes, a contrast is better.
Charles Edwards
We can all at least agree that Katya has blue eyes. Most of the art I've seen has it that way.
William Brown
I won't fight you there.
Carter Taylor
quick IA concept
might be too modern but I'll post it anyways.
Zachary Anderson
She's rocking a "Captain Soviet" kind of vibe.
Angel Perez
She thicc!
Joshua Hernandez
That's literally just Bucky's arm come on man.
Grayson Reyes
What if metal arm has either hammer or sickle painted on while other arm has tattoo of the other
Isaac Hill
So moving forward with Bullion is going to take a little while. They still need to actually recruit Iris and I have a pretty clear way to do that, but then beyond that I'm not sure how to get from one plot point to the next.
One thing I want to float this is this:
Alfred was killed off the first time because Batman comics were accused of making kids gay and National Comics (DC) implemented the comics code authority to avoid government oversight. So they killed Alfred and introduced Dick's aunt to give Wayne manor a female presence. With that in mind, the code got rid of Lucia because with Audrey moved out, they didn't want Sarah and Lucia being mistaken for gay despite the fact she'd been around since before Audrey moved in.
That's the meta-logic the code is running on. But meta-logic doesn't translate way into actual narrative. There needs to be a connective thread Bullion and co. can follow to get somewhere.
There's only so far I can go without discussion.
Benjamin Adams
So are you talking bringing in a male counterpart that was created specifically by the code to "relieve" Lucia of her duties terminator style?
Jordan Kelly
Been a while since I visited here. Have you guys finished working on the Halloween comic? I remember there was 5-6 pages at the time. I also remember there wouldn’t be a thread without that jackhammer. Was he forgotten?
