Greetings, fellow YWS-lings! :)

I'm trying to write an X-Men fanfiction and was wondering if anyone would like to join writing forces with me. Since I'm fairly new to the X-Men franchise, having seen (a censored version of) the first movie and a handful of episodes of the various cartoon series, it would also be nice to work with someone else who has a little more knowledge of the subject.

The fanfiction I would like to write focuses on the pre-existing character Weapon X-23, AKA Laura, and her origin story. In the Evolution cartoon, she is introduced as a young, HYDRA-produced and -controlled assassin that was created using Wolverine's DNA. She seemed like an interesting character, but I wasn't entirely satisfied with the character's portrayal in that show. (I'm also not impressed by what I've heard about her subsequent appearances in the comic book medium....) I'd like to write a new backstory to this character that portrays her with a bit more depth, coolness, and class than ever before, with a compelling plot and cast of supporting characters.

I'm looking to keep the story rated E, at most rated 12, with some instances of mild violence, since this is an action-packed genre. Please no mature content of a sexual nature or vulgar/profane language.

Currently, I have the beginnings of a very rough draft on paper, but this story is more in the brainstorming phase right now than anything else. I can discuss the finer details later, 'coz this post is pretty long already! :D

If you're interested in co-writing this with me, please feel free to write back here, comment on my wall, or send me a PM.

Thank you so much for your time and interest! :)

I would love to join in with this! I have watched the 1990's cartoons 3 times over, X-men Evolution series 2 times and I have comics about the X-men too. I am a massive Marvel fan, (explains picture and background). I agree that Laura's character is underplayed so I'd love to go in more depth with this.

Your hesitation suggests you are trying to protect my feelings. However, since I have none, I would prefer you to be honest. An artist's growth depends upon accurate feedback.
