My Happy Place, Snowflake Challenge Day 1

[queenofserpents]

My Happy Place is probably Jem... One of my favorite (tiny) fandoms is Jem and the Holograms.. I have t-shirts, the entire series that I just watch sometimes when I'm feeling down, and my dolls, which I like to pose and take pictures of. I just got the little pop figures of Jem and Pizzazz and have them flirtatiously facing off on the top shelf ! (I also get a Christmas commission every year of Eric Raymond/Jerrica Benton under the mistletoe. And am writing an entire third/fourth season to pick up where the show ended with my Fiance, Mab.It starts up with Jerrica finally having to confront the problems and stress in her life as things amp up. She breaks up with Rio, who reacts terribly to the news about her and Jem, and continues into various episodal escapades from Pizzazz being snapped out Riot's spell, Jerrica having a perhaps misguided tryst with her worst enemy and...maybe falling for him harder than she expected ,hijinks surrounding her hiring a new band who's entire stage presence is claiming they're faeries come to Earth to rock out because they're bored, and Kimber and Stormer bringing their side project back together! (And Clash finally gets a girlfriend.)

I can see both why and how this is your happy place. Your third and fourth seasons sound fantastic, rich with wacky hijinks and interesting character arcs.

Aww thank you! Haha it's so, so much fun to write seasons three and four. I've always been sad that the ending to Jem was so abrupt, you know? It needed closure on a lot more. Like..I wanted to explore character arcs. Especially Jerrica/Jem. And there's so many hijinks! There's plans for in season 4, where Jerrica has to deal with an enemy band with their own Synergy-like Unit that seems able to lace hypnotic messages in their music.
It's just so fun :3

Good for you! I remember enjoying comics of Jem, back in my collecting days. Wish I still had them, but I sold my whole collection a few years ago.

[queenofserpents]

Oh no! That's a shame! The comics are SO GOOD! They did a good job of representing the series

Thanks :3 Jem has been my happy place since I was a little girl, watching it's reruns on tv

[fawatson]

Wow - writing new seasons sounds very ambitious - well done you for this!

[queenofserpents]

Thank you! Haha honestly the hardest part was finding out how to incorporate two music videos an episode into a text format (wound up writing fictional , in universe magazine reviews of the videos as a more organic way of showing them)
