How I would write a Boom! Power Rangers Turbo origin story:
NOTICE: Long post. still editing
[Inspired by Channel Awesome's Fanscription series]
What if Power Rangers Turbo panned out differently? what if it used most but all elements of Carranger? What if all but the remains of the Zeo Crystals powered their new Turbo Ranger suits and zords via a young wizard mechanic from a star system of gearheads?
This outline's my attempt at a proper Zeo-Turbo power shift and major overhaul of the PRT series worthy of a Boom comic adaptation. No Divatox, no Lerigot, no inviso-chimp Bulk & Skull! It will, however, use a majority of Carranger material to try and balance out lighthearted and intense moments ala IDWs Ninja Turtles.
Roadwiz by Carlos “Carl Carson” Carona (now with 60% Carranger)
Part 1:
The Command Center receives a holiday vidcard from an unknown alienoid from an unverified star system, Prandal of Valan-8 (Hazardian Dapp), an Automage apprentice/big time Ranger aficionado, currently residing in Metroland Resort, located within the Intergalactic Highway (Baribarian), an orbiting metroplanet made of rows upon rows of interwoven roads and highways.
The vidcard plays a standard goodwill greeting, albeit wedged with plenty of distracting cheese-ball FX & b-roll:
“Axlent Greetings, Power Rangers! Prandal here, wishing you good times from Metroland Resort, where guests check in, but don’t wanna check out! Normally, I’d be studying Automagic with the other wizard mechanics on Valan-8, but they and the other guests from a bunch of different star systems are hooked with games, food, and music, plus the midnite show at Hailey’s Comet Bar with Star Dancer Radiel, Rygog’s favorite show! You guys should come stay for a few days from Earth. Oh, and you don’t need an astrocar or rocket to get there in who knows how many light years! The Intergalactic Highway will come to your star system and pick you, and any other inhabitants, right up! Metroland, Where All Roads Lead to Paradise!”
Analyzing the message, however, Alpha combs out bits of a distress signal within the vidcard’s code, cunningly hidden in those low-grade 80s graphics, along with coordinates to meet him in private at the afformentioned bar. Unscrambled, Prandal was merely warning the Rangers about Metroland & IGH’s true intentions:
“It was actually Rygog’s (Gynamo) Base for his Belt Duster crew (Bowzock), cosmic bikers bent on bedlam from across many galaxies, and Earth’s next! It siphons entire planets of its resources while their rides, buffets & shows distract the “guests”. Just as they are about to check out, a whopping service bill puts them to debt and their planets have already been sucked dry, dooming them to life as grunts for Rygog’s gang; a devious plan concocted by General Havoc (Ritchihiker), acting as Resort Manager. Prandal needs their help to save him and the imprisoned travelers, along with his Automage masters, and return those resources to their proper planets before Earth gets hooked into this tourist trap. He also says his reason for trusting the Rangers and his fellowship to their cause came about from heresay of those trapped in Metroland recounting the times Dex’s planet from the Plague Patrol, and when they dismantled Machine Empire (tech with Rita/Zedd’s backstabbery)”.
Prandal devises an elaborate rescue plan: a prisoner exchange with Rygog; his life for the Zeo Crystals. Before they realize they swapped the crystals with fakes, he’ll have infused them to his model cars with Automagic (kurumagic), giving the Belt Dusters a suprise attack by The Turbo Rangers and their mighty Turbo Megazord, ready to buff the skid marks off their grimey comet tail!!
He asks the Rangers to meet at the coordinates encoded in the vidcard for the exchange, Hailey's Comet Bar (BB Saloon). Sensing a possble trap, Zordon hails Billy on Aquitar to aid in the exchange. Alpha insists on tagging along since he & Prandal were pen pals after Edenoi was saved and the Machine Empire fallen by the Zeo Rangers
Billy arrives on Earth in a bent-out RADBUG with two protective attachés for the Zeo Crystals, picking up Alpha at the Command Center as they head back to Angel Grove in need of parts to soupe up RADBUG for deep space travel. One stop reunites Billy and Alpha with Tommy Oliver at his uncle’s auto shop Stallion Motors (Pegasus Auto Garage)!
At the auto shop, Alpha goes into "sleep mode" beside the garage entrance while Billy meets up with Tommy, reminiscing on old friends in college, globetrotting, Kimmy in Paris, etc.
Oliver's pit crew of Angel Grove freshman are taking extra credit at Stallion Motors, awe-gapped they'll be upgrading Billy's science fair project, not just for space travel, but make it a pleasing street legal ride: TJ assists Tommy with performance testing; Carlos helps Tommy & TJ repair & customize RADBUG while checking the books on recent repairs; Ashley's designs are given to Carlos; and Cassie spreads word of Stallion Motors to potential clients *some aspects of Carranger's team are shared between Turbo Ranger's teammates
A while later, Angel Grove’s new Smart Guy Justin arrives at the auto shop, ecstatic to hear of Billy's return, hoping he could be his mentor & guide, and help fix Ernie’s Juice Bar Builder for the Youth Center
Justin tells Billy how Ernie got a bar maker kit for his latest venture to create on-the-go jelly blocks with his specialty fruit drinks, even calling them Juice Bars for the pun alone, but after deputy cops Bulk & Skull swapped the fruit with root vegetables & tubers for a lark, the starch gunked the juice compressor and Ernie’s left with a small batch of veggie blocks (Imo Yokan). Lt. Stone asked Justin to fix his rookies’ mess given how much of Billy he saw in the boy and based on his high Aptitude score jumping him to high school
Later, Justin sees Alpha-5 resting by the garage entrance next to the tuned-up RADBUG-2, thinking he was a tutoring aide Billy built for a robotics museum, then checks the case containing the Zeo crystals
As he was about to inspect the Zeo Case further, Justin drops it and the crystals fall as Billy was heading back to his Souper Cooper leaving for his Ranger Mission
Justin kneels to grab the crystals before Billy could notice any tampering on the case, but his backpack zipped open and the compressor, veggie blocks, and some white carrots the same shape as the crystals drop to the floor. A panicked Justin stored the crystals in his pack and puts the carrots in the case
Billy & Alpha head off, RADBUG-2 ready for liftoff! But as Justin heads back to the Youth Center, he sees the Zeo Crystals in his backpack and Billy has the compressor and Zeo Carrots in RADBUG-2.
Has Justin discovered the Rangers’ secret identities? What fate lies in Justin How will he fix the Juice Bar Builder when it’s 7 Lightyears away from Angel Grove?!
Part 2:
Billy & Alpha arrive at the Metro planet orbiting Valan-8, landing near a gas station by their drop spot Hailey’s, a juice bar for alien travelers.
Disguised as an Aquitar nomad, Billy takes RADBUG-2 to a Shrek-eared mechanic to stow it in his garage
However, Alpha was in rest mode the whole trip and is captured by Manic Mechanic (MM Shuurisukii), fully knowing he’s Zordon’s assistant and the Rangers ally & friend
Manic Mech messes with Alpha’s systems by inserting a disc that programs him to only speak in nineties slang
Inside Hailey’s, Billy negotiates with Elgar (Zelmoda) & Porto (Grotch) for an exchange with their leader: the young automage for the Zeo Crystals, as Rygog heard of their tremendous power that could up the Dust Belter’s rep
The bar crowd silences as the floorshow begins, on stage was Radiel (Zonnette), Rygog’s GF who was actually an older princess of the Crysahliss Empire kipnapped by him and brainwashed by Porto
comment story edits for this outline. May not b good, still say major improvement on the 2nd PR movie
when i was a little girl i used to draw all the time. not that i was good at it, but i liked to draw flowers and families of stick-people (there never was a father), and i always drew the cards for my grandmother's birthday. now i can't even draw a house on my own but if you give me a coloring book i can fill the empty spaces between the lines all day.
when i was a little girl i used to draw all the time. now i can't start any kind of drawing by myself but if you give me a contour, an outline, i can do something with it.
i guess that's how life works. you're given an empty sheet of paper and you have to draw everything for yourself. you might think your childhood, your education is a contour, but in reality, you're on your own. you have to do the contour yourself. you have to pick the colors yourself. you have to handle everything yourself from the very beginning to the very end. and i've never been good at starting things on my own.

How to Plot A Complex Novel in One Day (It WILL take all day)
Now first, I have to say, that the plot you’re able to come up with in one day is not going to be without its flaws, but coming up with it all at once, the entire story unfolds right in front of you and makes you want to keep going with it. So, where to begin?
What is your premise and basic plot? Pick your plot. I recommend just pulling one from this list. No plots are “original” so making yours interesting and complicated will easily distract from that fact, that and interesting characters. Characters will be something for you to work on another day, because this is plotting day. You’ll want the main plot to be fairly straight forward, because a confusing main plot will doom you if you want subplots.
Decide who the characters will be. They don’t have to have names at this point. You don’t even need to know who they are other than why they have to be in the story. The more characters there are the more complicated the plot will be. If you intend to have more than one subplot, then you’ll want more characters. Multiple interconnected subplots will give the illusion that the story is very complicated and will give the reader a lot of different things to look at at all times. It also gives you the chance to develop many side characters. The plot I worked out yesterday had 13 characters, all were necessary. Decide their “roles” don’t bother with much else. This seems shallow, but this is plot. Plot is shallow.
Now, decide what drives each character. Why specifically are they in this story? You can make this up. You don’t even know these characters yet. Just so long as everyone has their own motivations, you’re in the clear.
What aren’t these characters giving away right off the bat? Give them a secret! It doesn’t have to be something that they are actively lying about or trying to hide, just find something that perhaps ties them into the plot or subplot. This is a moment to dig into subplot. This does not need to be at all connected to their drive to be present in the story. Decide who is in love with who, what did this person do in the 70’s that’s coming back to bite them today, and what continues to haunt what-his-face to this very day. This is where you start to see the characters take shape. Don’t worry much about who they are or what they look like, just focus on what they’re doing to the story.
What is going to change these characters? Now this will take some thinking. Everyone wants at least a few of the characters to come out changed by the end of the story, so think, how will they be different as a result of the plot/subplot? It might not be plot that changes them, but if you have a lot of characters, a few changes that are worked into the bones of the plot might help you.
Now list out the major events of the novel with subplot in chronological order. This will be your timeline. Especially list the historical things that you want to exist in backstory. List everything you can think of. Think about where the story is going. At this point, you likely haven’t focused too much on the main plot, yeah, it’s there, but now really focus on the rising actions, how this main plot builds its conflict, then the climactic moment. Make sure you get all of that in there. This might take a few hours.
Decide where to start writing. This part will take a LOT of thinking. It’s hard! But now that you’ve got the timeline, pick an interesting point to begin at. Something with action. Something relevant. Preferably not at the beginning of your timeline - you want to have huge reveals later on where these important things that happened prior are exposed. This is the point where you think about what information should come out when. This will be a revision of your last list, except instead of being chronological, it exists to build tension.
Once you’ve gotten the second list done, you’ve got a plot. Does it need work? Probably. But with that said, at this point you probably have no idea who half your characters are. Save that for tomorrow, that too will be a lot of work.
After you’ve plotted the loose structure of your novel from this, see my next post to work on character!
10 outline techniques for writers
With this post I listed 10 outline techniques to help writes move their story from a basic idea to a complete set of arcs, plots, sequences and/or scenes. Or to simply expand whatever you have in hands right now.
If you have a vague story idea or a detailed one, this post is for you to both discover and organize. A few technique will work perfectly. A few won’t. Your mission is to find the one that works best for you. That said, I advice you to try out as many techniques as possible.
So, are you ready? Open your notebook, or your digital document, and let’s start.
1. Snowflake method: Start with a one-sentence description of the novel. Then, develop this simple phrase into a paragraph. Your next step is to write a one-page summary based on the paragraph, you can write about characters, motivations, goals, plots, options, whatever you feel like. From this point on, you can either start your book or expand the one-page summary into four pages. And, at last, four pages into a brief description of known sequences of scenes. Your goal is to make the story more and more complex as you add information, much like a forming snowflake.
2. Chapter by chapter: List ten to twenty chapters, give each chapter a tittle and a brief description of what should happen. Then, break each chapter into three to five basic sequences of scenes. Give each sequence a title, a brief description and a short list of possibilities (possibilities of dialogues, scenarios, outcomes, moods, feelings… just play around with possibilities). From this point on, you can either create the scenes of sequences with a one-sentence description for each or jump straight to writing. Your goal is to shift from the big picture to a detail-oriented point of view.
3. Script: This might sound crazy, but, with this technique, you will write the screenplay of your story as if it’s a movie. No strings attached to creative writing, just plain actions and dialogues with basic information. Writing a script will take time, maybe months, but it will also enlighten your project like no other technique. Your goal is to create a cinematic view of your story. How to write a script here.
4. Free writing: No rules, no format, no step, just grab a pen or prepare your fingers to write down whatever idea that comes up. Think of possibilities, characters, places, quests, journeys, evolutions, symbolisms, fears, good moments, bad moments, clothing, appearances. Complete five to ten pages. Or even more. The more you write, the more you will unravel. You can even doodle, or paste images. Your mission is to explore freely.
5. Tag: This technique is ideal if you have just a vague idea of the story. Start by listing ten to fifteen tags related to the story. Under each tag, create possible plots. And, under each plot, create possible scenes. Grab a red felt pen and circle plots and scenes that sparkle your interest.
6. Eight-point arc: With this technique you will divide your story into eight stages. They are Stasis, Trigger, Quest, Surprise, Critical Choice, Climax, Reversal and Resolution. The Stasis is the every-day-life of your main character. Trigger is an event that will change the every-day-life of your character (for better or for worse). Quest is a period of your main characters trying to find a new balance, a new every-day-life (because we all love a good routine). Surprise will take your character away from their new found every-day-life. Critical Choice is a point of no return, a dilemma, your character will have to make the hardest decision out of two outcomes, both equally important. Climax is the critical choice put to practice. Reversal is the consequence of the climax, or how the characters evolved. Resolution is the return to a new (or old) every-day-life, a (maybe everlasting) balance.
7. Reverse: Write down a description of how your story ends, what happens to your characters and to those around them. Make it as detailed as possible. Then, move up to the climax, write a short scenario for the highest point of your story. From there, build all the way back to the beginning.
8. Zigzag: Draw a zigzag with as many up and downs as you want. Every up represents your main character moving closer to their goal. Every down represents your main character moving further from their goal. Fill in your zigzag with sequences that will take your character closer and farther from the goal.
9. Listing: The focus of this technique is exploring new ideas when your story feels empty, short or stagnated. You’ll, basically make lists. Make a long list of plot ideas. Make another list of places and settings. Make a list of elements. And a list of possible characters. Maybe a list of book titles. Or a list of interesting scenes. A list of bad things that could happen inside this universe. A list of good things. A list of symbolism. A list of visual inspiration. A list of absurd ideas you’ll probably never use. Then, gather all this material and circle the good items. Try to organize them into a timeline.
10. Character-driven: Create a character. Don’t worry about anything else. Just think of a character, their appearance and style. Give them a name. Give them a basic personality. Give them a backstory. Develop their personality based on the backstory. Now, give this character a story that mirrors their backstory (maybe a way to overcome the past, or to grow, or to revenge, or to restore). Based on your character’s personality, come up with a few scenes to drive their story from beginning to end. Now, do the same thing for the antagonist and secondary characters.
So, when is it time to stop outlining and start writing?
This is your call. Some writers need as many details as they can get, some need just an basic plot to use as a North. Just remember, an outline is not a strict format, you can and you will improvise along the way. The most important is being comfortable with your story, exploring new ideas, expanding old concepts and, maybe, changing your mind many times. There’s no right or wrong, just follow your intuition.
If the internet wasn’t anonymous anymore i would stop writing/posting fic and a part of my soul would die. I don’t want to post fic under my real name i don’t wish to be perceived i wish to be known on an incredibly deep level without something superficial like my name attached. Writing fic is like stripping naked but leaving your face out of the shot
Art is gonna be a bit slow since I haven't been able to sleep well lately. ;;-;; Please be patient with me. It's hard to get motivated to draw stuff when it feels like you haven't slept in several days ;;;; #myart #outline #lineart #ink #anime #wip #workinprogress #art #drawing
Did a little sketch of an old magical chibi girl I made a couple of years ago. I kinda miss drawing really small but, it's a real test of patience xD #myart #moe #kawaii #manga #anime #animegirl #animeartist #artwork #art #sketches #oldvsnew #instaart #sketch #doodle #pen #ink #outline #chibi #animeart #mangaart #illustration

Does anybody ever get like a whole scene dropped into their head at one time and you have to write it down quickly before you forget it? For that, I do a kind of short hand where it’s just dialogue and very minimal descriptions. Does anybody else do that? And if you do, how do you stay motivated to actually turn it into a polished scene?
