Kirby's Rainbow Resort

I'm writing a continuation of the anime where Nightmare is reborn.
As a puffball.
In Dreamland.
With no powers.
And apparent brain damage.
He doesn't like it. :D
It's written in episodic format (a new adventure every chapter, but it does have a sense of continuity). I have like...ten-fifteen episodes already planned out. It's very fun imagining how a deranged, spoiled tyrant with an ego bigger than his body like Nightmare takes being in a place like Pupu Village.

Also in response to Rainbow--y'know, it's funny, I see a lot less yaoi for this fandom than I thought there would be. Especially with Escargon's, ahem, suggestive behavior.

I'm scared because I don't know what you're talking about. ;v; I swore?

You realize that that post is from over three years ago, right? I doubt the OP is going to care if you like the fact that s/he used a curse word or not. I don't even know if that member still comes onto this board anymore (and I'm not going to bother to check, because one it'd be a waste of time and wouldn't matter in the end, and two, I'm just too lazy). It's not like it was used towards anyone here, so what's the big deal?

Also, when you're referring to another post, you should probably quote the post you are going to refer to to avoid any further confusion in the future.

Reading: nothing

So, since nobody replied to me, I'll ask...does anyone think this could work?

People write stories portraying villains like Zero and Marx in a sympathetic light, but I've never seen Nightmare given a shot at redemption/sympathy. That seems a bit unfair, and I'd like to write him at that angle.

Let me elaborate on that. He starts off as the king of all jerks, and he certainly deserves most of the stuff that happens to him. Nobody makes any attempt to justify his actions, including myself, the author. Then things happen, he finds out some pretty whacked-up stuff, interacts closely with Kirby and the gang, and slowly he starts to become a better person. His character doesn't change completely (his flaws soften rather than disappear completely). My question is whether you all think this could possibly work, or if it's just a plain bad idea. This is anime-verse, to clarify.

Quite frankly I don't know how Nightmare could become a good guy. By definition he's the incarnation of the negative emotions in the universe.

But, if you were to sever that connection somehow somehow (i.e. he no longer gets power from other's nightmares) it could work. But you'd have to explain it well.

I forgot about him being negativity personified...this changes a few things.

He doesn't become good so much as less evil. What good he does do is usually out of self-preservation, one way or another, because of his precarious situation. I do go into a lot of detail concerning the nature of his existence/powers; I'll have to make sure it's explained in the right way.

Looking back, my entire post was sloppily written. I was tired at the time. Thank you for your input.

_________________

A kind of AU/crossover which is supposed to take place in Kirby Canon, but mixes elements from the Animé series.

After the last defeat of Dark Matter, it hid, biding its time, only living through what virtually was life support in the minds of its victims.

It waited, and then it struck.

Throughout the galaxy, war erupted. The enemy was legion, it had no name, no face. It was your government, your home, your friends, and yourself. The various races and peoples who wield the powers of the Star Warriors were very quickly overwhelmed. The entire galaxy turned into a bloodbath. No one knew where to turn to, who to turn to, and where to hide.

Kirby must destroy an enemy in the shadows, while steadily discovering the tale of another star warrior, from 2,000 years ago, who's story could be Kirby and his friends only hope in defeating an omnipresent enemy that terrorized the galaxy since the beginning of time.

It's a version of a story I made up some years ago. What do you guys think?

For the above user...this is pretty late, but may I put in that the idea could work with some creative writing. There's a reason why Villain Protagonists and Anti-Villains exist. Try not to bend the meaning of Nightmare, but instead give it a different light, say, the theme of balance. There will always be evil, but good to balance it, but if a world of all evil or a world of only good could not exist without the other.

Heh, actually, that idea has been scrapped. I got frustrated with it.
