DISNEY Presents "The MARVELous World Of STAR WARS"

[NicoSuave]

So, last year, I came up with the idea to write a series in which Disney and Marvel characters lived within the Star Wars Universe. Unfortunately, I was so caught up with other stuff, and was going through a period of indecisiveness, so I couldn't really get this project off the ground without questioning myself, and my abilities to keep up some kind of continuity.

Well, I've decided that it's finally time I've gotten this project off the ground, and I will have the first chapter ready as late as the end of February! Even though this first chapter shouldn't take me very long to write, I'm giving myself that long of a deadline because I have a serious procrastination problem, I'm dealing with some work right now, and I'm trying to be real with myself about when I'll actually put in the effort to work on this story while college is going on.

So please, be patient with me, and do not try to copy my concept just to prove you can do it better, or get it done faster. Let me have this one, and just sit back and enjoy the ride!

Sounds pretty interesting. one thing you can do t combat this serious procrastination problem, as you call it....is to either just jump right in there, and do as much as possible; then at another time, do the same thing again, and again, and again. until your are done. The theory is once you get emerged in ideas and emerge yourself, most tend to keep going til they are mentally and/or physically tired. they start the process over again at another time or date.

The other thing, is to nibble a little at a time, during brief moment you're doing nothing or bored. Start with writing down ideas, then maybe another time meditating on them, another time form an outline or chronicle the order of events you wish to follow, yet another time, write a short version of it or a partial, then come back and finish later....then you can expand on your short story, by adding more details, or situations, and more characters & interactions. Before you know it, you have build a full story.

Those two thing helps me a lot when I'm bogged down.

I have a serious procrastination problem as well and if you are still struggling to meet this deadline - do what I do. I have loads of notes on my phone for certain bits of things I want to write (not fan fiction) and then sometimes when Im sat at my laptop and bored of everything I start writing and refer to these notes, makes the whole process easier.

With the recent announcement by Marvel about Secret Wars, I'm going to wait a while before I release the fanfiction, just because I want to see where everything goes.

I feel like I have some good ideas that would've held up we'll, but I don't want to make a decision based on a continuity that I'm familiar with when that continuity is about to be altered to fit a convergence of dimensions.

Even though I've been reading comics for a while (I read Lego Bionicle comics for the 10 years they were published), I still consider myself a newbie because I've only been following Marvel and DC for a few years. The movies and video games are what inspired me to read the comics, and the movies and video games are what casuals recognize.

So, if Marvel's new continuity is going to eventually shape the remainder of the MCU, and if Star Wars' EU continuity is going to be altered when Episode 7 is released, then I want to produce material with content that people will recognize.

I'll just consider myself lucky Disney doesn't do comics or reboots, and that I don't have to worry about something in the origin of Queen Elsa being altered.
