#tottmnt isn't happening til next year what else am i supposed to do

[ophelliate]

so. i have an idea...

i was thinking of doing some spec scripts (basically fanfics in episode script format) for the tales of the tmnt series coming out next year and posting it on ao3 as a side project. though, i'd like to hear some thoughts about it before i get started on anything

here's what i'm thinking so far (cutting for mm spoilers):

considering the description of the series but also looking at the end of the movie, i get the feeling that the show will focus on both slice of life and action, cross-crossing between plots around their high school/teenage and ninja life while the boys find their identities (so like randy cunningham or kim possible come to mind first).

I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong and the show goes in a different direction, but this is likely what i'll be sticking with. in terms of episodes themselves, i only have a few in mind.

the team realizes they have to actually recover from their movie injuries (with a donnie-april b-plot on figuring out mutant healthcare)

mikey gets a job (while the lair spirals into chaos)

raph tries to speedrun any% every sport in the school

the turtles accidentally de-mutate into regular turtles (based on the cut storyboards) and have to figure out how to turn back before its permanent

as of right now, i'm wondering if these should be 11-minute episodes, or 22-minutes. they both have their pros and cons, but y'alls preference will heavily weigh in for the choice.

though please, share your thoughts and suggestions! whether it be for the spec-scripts in general or episode ideas! i know i want to keep this as close to canon as possible (with the amount of content we have at least), but i also want this to be somewhat of a collaborative effort as well. any comments or tidbits would be very much appreciated!
