Full-view, please!

I know a lot of you have been waiting for me to upload new art & written works, & I have not forgotten about that. :) It's just that I have LOTS & LOTS & LOTS of stuff I've drawn & written over the last 7 years--even earlier than that, in fact!--& it's gonna take me quite a while to upload every picture & piece of literature. Just be patient, folks, & my gallery will be chock-full of new stuff before you know it! ;)

In the meantime, here's the (very basic) plot outline for the extended miniseries version of my GMD sequel project! ^_^ I spent the last few days working on it, & I had a lot of fun while doing so! :D Hopefully, this miniseries version of the sequel will be a project that's even more appealing to the folks at Disney when I pitch the idea to them! ;)

In the meantime, what do you think of the updated story so far? :) Do tell me your thoughts! :D

When you're finished reading, please be sure to leave feedback when you're done. I'll take anything from comments to constructive criticism, as long as they're not flames or delivered in an overly-harsh, stern, or mercilessly-nitpicky manner.

First episode doesn't seem to have a lot happening. I've probably said this before, but if the Flavershams' relatives aren't going to show up again after the trip to Scotland, then Disney will most likely cut that scene out. Again, if you are serious about working for Disney, you need to learn how to let go of scenes that you're attached to if they're not essential to the story. I'm not saying this to be mean - I'm saying it because that's how the animation industry works.

I'm also still not seeing much of a smooth plot. Even with the thugs showing up here and there, it's still mostly "trip to here, trip to there, trip to here." I'm also thinking that Basil lets Ratigan live with him too early. Don't forget, Ratigan has tried to kill Basil on numerous occasions. Perhaps postpone Basil letting Ratigan live with him and have one of the series' overarching plots be Ratigan trying to convince Basil that he's redeemed himself and only AFTER Ratigan has done something to TRULY convince Basil of his redemption does Basil forgive him.
