So, I'm writing novelizations of shows to sharpen my writing skills, and I want to know, are there any other shows out there that are better novelization candidates?
Because the shows I'm writing novelization of:
>As Told by Ginger
>Generation O
>Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy
are ususally considered shit, with the exception of the last one.
Any suggestions, Yas Forums?

I would say samurai jack
it sounds kind of fun to write what jack is thinking during the quiet moments

plus if you want to write fighting scenes it will help to

Will you be posting any of those anywhere?

You might end up writing junior novels of shows officially if you aren't careful!

Some shows are too crazy though

bump

I'll be posting a snippet in the coming hours, but I don't know if I should be leaking them. Except for when I took a few liberties with the Gen O! ones, they're mostly explaining the actions that happen in an episode with text.
I also have two original stories that I'm working on right now.

Okay, for EEnE what order will you be going in for the episodes?

>I'm writing novelizations of shows to sharpen my writing skills
That is actually a clever idea, op.

As for suggestions? I would also stretch your chives to animated movies.

Kind of random. Thinking of doing the "Ed-touchables" next, followed by "Nagged to Ed" and either a random school episode or an episode from seasons 2-4. Right now, I'm doing "Hand-Me-Down-Ed"

Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the most story-complex Western cartoons ever made

Have you done any season 3 episodes yet?

Not yet, but I plan to in the future.

How about you fix Steven Universe?

Alright.

>Generation O
I'm really curious about the content of this specific one.

why would you write novelizations of non-episodic shows? you should do something like avatar or other things with actual storylines.

Depends of what you want to do, some show are better as an ensemble cast and other, are better as a ongoing story.

How about Total Drama

I'll say pirates of the dark waters since the world is rich but the series never did much with it. The first episode of that show feels like a movie crammed in 20 minutes.

Make a novelization of Foodfight for shit and giggle

That's a clever idea, I did something similar for the Magic School Bus a few years ago. I had about a half hour before my class started and wrote a little short story with the intent of not changing anything afterwards just to see what I could get done. I don't wanna steal OP's thunder but I'll post it for the sake of bumping.
It's far from my best work but it was a fun project
pastebin.com/y13kGPNj

Need an editor?

Sounds like a cool idea!
I guess that can work, too.

Here's a snippet from one of my novelizations.

>Molly ran to the senator. "Quit pulling his ear! It's gonna pop out!"
Shift looked at Molly with a scowl. "Mind your own beeswax!"
Molly growled and grabbed the senator's ear. "How would you feel if I pulled your ear?" she scolded, forcing his ear in her direction. "It hurts, doesn't it?"
Molly moved closer to Shift, although she continued to pull his ear. "Let go, or I'll swing!"
"Security!" the senator screamed. Seeing this as an opening, Molly began to swing his ear around. Looking at the chaos in front of her, Lacey rolled her eyes and looked the other way.
"If you let go of his ear," Molly said. "then I'll let go of yours!"
"Not until you let go, first!" he argued.
"You!" Molly countered.
"You!" he said.
"Let go!" she screamed.
"Okay then," Shift said, grabbing Rayburn and throwing him across the pathway. "there!"
"If that's the way it'll be," Molly threatened Shift. "then I'm not singing 'Favorite Son' for you!"
Shift looked at Molly. "Keep it down!" he warned.
Getting closer to Molly, Shift gazed at Molly with a burning stare. "Listen, little missy. You don't have to sing for me." he said. "but if you don't, then I'll tell everyone that you wet the bed. You decide."
And with that, Shift left Molly, leaving her to think about what he just said.
To add insult to injury, Buzz walked in front of Molly. "He's got my vote." He snatched the button off her chest and walked away.

I have no idea what any of that means.

It's not really my best writing, let's be honest. Imma do another sample, this time about EEnE:

>In the backyard of a house in a small cul-de-sac, Jimmy, a timid boy who wore a blue shirt and grey jeans, slowly twisted his legs in a box-like position. In front of him were three stuffed animals, all situated behind a mailbox.
>"Are we ready, class?" he said. The stuffed animals said nothing, as they were just toys.
>"Lets begin, shall we?" he continued. "Lift those nasties loose from your body!"
>The stuffed animals continued to sit there.
>"Doesn't that feel good?" he asked. "Now cuddle the tranquility. Nuzzle them!"
>Suddenly, a lone basketball bounced to the mailbox, causing it to fall on the ground and crush one stuffed animal, also managing to cut another in half.
>Jimmy gasped in horror. "Mister Yam-yams!" He bounced over to the bear and uncurled his legs, grabbing the stuffed animal with a distressed look. "Speak to me!" he yelled.
>Jimmy began to weep. "Tommy and I will miss you so-" However, when he looked up, he saw no sign of the stuffed animal he called "Tommy".
>"Tommy?" Jimmy cried. "TOMMY!" He tried to lift up the mailbox, but to no avail. >Quickly, he stopped and weeped over the mailbox. "It's no use!" he cried. "I'm so inadequate!" As he continued to cry, >Kevin, a boy wearing a red cap and a green shirt, picked up his basketball and looked at Jimmy.
>With a careless look on his face, he lifted the mailbox up and rolled his eyes. >"Rough." he sarcastically said. "Kiss those baby toys goodbye!" Kevin then proceeded to walk away, as Jimmy saw the severed head of "Tommy" and cried.

Context: Shift wants Molly to sing for him at his presidential rally. Molly wants to do it, but she changes her mind when she sees him abusing his dog.

Hey, this one starts pretty good.
It reads like the start of an actual episode.
Keep going user.

Oh, thanks, user! I hope to improve my writing as I go further down the line.

Also, fun fact: I also wrote 80-85 songs, and produced around 25-30 songs.

I have no idea what you just said.

Yeah, me neither.
Looking back on it, the plot doesn't make much sense.

I was talking about all the words that begin with capital letters when they aren’t at the start of a sentence.

Oh, sorry. Either I forgot to greentext everything, or I have no idea how sentence structure works. Probably both.

This is a story based on Generation O, right?
Who's Shift? is some character from the show or is an oc you created for the plot?

He's an actual character from the show.

And speaking of OCs, I actually made several, but none of them are self-inserts.

Do Redwall, then read the books and see how close you were.

It's not great, but I like it! Keep on keepin' on, user!

>Generation O
Why do you remember this? You should not remember this. If we're doing obscure shows, do Histeria.

Good idea, user!

I’m writing a screenplay for a BTAS episode idea some Anons & I just bullshitted. I went with that kind of format because being fancy with literature is hard. Turns out, even Screenplays are a challenge & a half.

>even Screenplays are a challenge & a half.
Yep. Just ask the guy who almost made the Batman movie before Tim Burton made his.

What? What’s the story?

Just look up Batman giant pencil sharpener museum.

Huh, so they are hard. For me, at least, I never really had a problem with screenplays, though most of my knowledge came from playing with the free trial to Final Draft.

I don't know, but I think I might need one. I get tired of having to go back and correct spelling mistakes all the time.

Also, here's a lil' summary of my original book/series pitch.

>Frank is just a normal 12-year-old kid with only one friend: Randy. One day, Randy begins to act strangely, which causes Frank to investigate by spying on him and his girlfriend Beverly. However, he is indoctrinated into a group of protectors named the Guardians, who instill a great power in him, on the condition that he can't divulge his secrets to anyone else in his town. Now, he must defend the Earth from evil while he trains to improve his skills.

I swear, this sounded way better in my head.

>As Told by Ginger
Is Courtney gayer in this
Also I thought Yas Forums liked it. The art style is ridiculous but the actual show usually gets good word here

More info:

>There is another main character named Patty Hunter. Although she is one of the popular girls, she has an ample amount of knowledge on the Guardians, something that perplexes the Supreme Guardian, Primus, to no end.
>One of the Elite Guardians, Bucky, has a pretty cool arm cannon. His best friend is an anthropomorphic raccoon named Coon.

Even more info!

>Guardians are divided into some sort of caste-like system. At the bottom are the Guardians-in-training, or Guardian apprentices. They're the ones who train under a mentor, by themselves, or among themselves to sharpen their skills. They usually get fetch quests and the lower tasks, as the bigger tasks are too risky for them to take. Sometimes they might be called to assist a Guardian who might be having trouble, but otherwise, they're stuck at Primus' sanctuary.
>Normal Guardians are just that: guardians. Too advanced to be apprentices, but not experienced enough to be Elite Guardians. They get a more normal delegation of tasks, being the ones who usually protect towns from more mundane crimes, like robberies or gang skirmishes.
>Elite Guardians are those who are experienced enough to handle more of the harder tasks. They are often the ones who become the most likely candidates for the coveted title of Supreme Guardian, and, more often than not, they are seen fighting beings of unnatural evil such as the Demon Lord and the Dragon.
>A Supreme Guardian leads the other Guardians into peace and greatness. Only one person can be the Guardian, with the option of taking one apprentice and training him to succeed one day.

Nah. I plan to keep the series mostly intact. But I have one question:
Should I make Dodie's character better, or worse.

I want to start learning about writing. What would you guys recommend for beginners?

Read, read a lot. Even reading terribly written stuff helps. Also learn about grammar.

So wait what does the first part about Frank spying on Randy have to do with the Guardian part of the story?

That is definitely something I've been taking into consideration. How should I go about learning about storytelling and the structure of a story?

Also read.

ok thanks!

Randy has secretly been part of the Guardians for months, now, it'a just that he's been hiding it but, honestly, I think I'm going to change it so that Randy has been acting suspicious for the same amount of time. Kind of makes the story seem disjointed.

Big O

I said read, not REId
