Since as long as I can remember I've been "writing" MOTU fiction. I never complete these stories. What's the point? I can't make money off them and they are time consuming to write. But I make notes, synopsis, and even write out full scripts and even do the occasional story board or thumbnail sketch. It's a lot of time "waited", fun though it may be. I never share them because they are almost always incomplete. So I'm finishing these "lost tales". I name them that because they are always written from the point of view that they COULD be unpublished stories from 1982-1992 (i REALLY wish the Cosmic Key was real! LOL) and cover any era, theme or branch of the brand from POG though the era of King He-Man, from the dawn of time all the way to it's end. I'm posting this looking forward to any and all criticisms, valid or otherwise. Hate them? LMK. Just remember to explain WHY you hate them.
If you see a typo (and there will be plenty I'm sure) LMK that too so I can fix it. See a glaring plot hole? I want to see it too. These are not going to be full of very many new characters. I hardly ever create those. (though I do have to figure out how to use a pirate pair named Boot Leg and Kit Bash I created using spare parts) I'm not going to put my self in the action. I'm not good in a fight! I want to get into the heads of the characters WE ALL GREW UP WITH to find out who they are and what makes them that way.
I'm going to try and keep this close to PURE VINTAGE NOSTALGIA, but without the rose colored glasses. Even the best Vintage story could still be better after all. I may throw a 200X Easter egg reference or re-imagine a MOTUC character in a vintage format and setting. I'm not going to try too hard to make ALL the continuity line up in a single Canon. I'm not going to be afraid of crossing cannons either though.! I'm a Multiversal kind of guy. I want to see Original (jungle) He-man and Filmation He-Man team up and fight the evil SAVAGE HE-Man! You might find a small retcon from time to time. A good example would be My forthcoming Roboto Style Guide update in which Duncan doesn't BUILD Roboto, Duncan "Rebuilds" Roboto using ancient robot parts
(see how awesome cross continuity can be, that's a Filmation mini comic and Golden book reference all rolled into one without changing a single story element! All three roboto stories complement each other and fit together in a narrativ informing of his growing personality.) I'm going to resist the temptation of writing my version of Powers of Grayskull #2 and #3 since I hold out the hope that we will find out more of what was actually planned someday. My views of MOTU history and it's continuity is that it flows like Water. After all, this isn't a vanity project where I glorify my own ideas. I want to swim in the ideas of our shared youth. I don't want to change anything, I just want to add to the tapestry of Master of the Universe, Princess of Power and New Adventures lore. SO grab a drink, put on some music and let be tell you of the days of HIGH ADVENTURE!
