I love the blue'd dark hair combination. I must because my DH has blue eyes and dark hair and thats what I noticed first about him...them the cute dimpled smile... tall with broad shoulders.... I was only 16...and you know when a girl meets her Eagle.... teen love.

I wonder if thats why I keep liking the Swan Eagle combination more. Even though I can understand why some love the Condor/Swan.

Ken just looked too much like Speed Racer and I never cared for that show or character. Joe was unique and not afraid to disagree with someone. In BotP Mark seldom disagreed with authority, while Jason challenged it. Now watching Gatchaman, I see the same things in those characters, but with more depth and growth (especially for Ken).

Hi Becky! Good to see another Condor here.

I'm impressed that you started writing fics when you were that young -do you still have any of them?

Jason was my favourite too, but I've come to like Joe better, in part because of the whole drama of his story arc in Gatchaman (remembering his parent's death, realizing they were in Galactor, developing his neurological problems, running off to Karakoram with 10 days to live...) which, aside from some of the health issues, Jason didn't get.

I'm a little late getting into this. I'm still navitaging all the mesages.

I started out liking Mark because he was in command, telling other people what to do. I'm next to the youngest of five and was thoroughly sick of being low girl on the totum pole.

Then I started writing fics and originally threw myself in there as Mark's little sister - in these fics he never told her what to do. But, my character had a mind of her own and gravitated towards Jason, which drove my Mark character crazy.

From that time on, I've been Jason all the way.

I did write *slightly* racier Mary Sue fics (and actually written down, unlike those earlier ones) when I was 16 about me and Duran Duran... but well, those are just embarrassing. [/quote]

I didn't like to look at Duran Duran, but I've always liked their music.

I also have to say I like Jason's uniform colors better than Mark's. I always thought as Ninja's, they'd want to be in colors that aren't flashy.

Writing, no. But I did do a lot of pretend play; and some of it went against canon. I had a cousin a year younger than me who was into it and she created a character for herself that stole Mark away from Princess. So when we played I was Princess and got Jason (whom I like better than Mark).

Of course, it does make since in the matter of our personalities. As she was going gaga over Duran Duran I was driving everyone around me crazy with Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, and Van Halen.

I had a few Mary Sue rolls in my early fics, but I was never as comfortable as writing my B/F in her own Mary Sue. She was much more outgoing then I with boys, so it fit a lot better. I was more of a supporting character, while her character had the two main men (brothers) battling over her. I had such fun writing that story with her, and yes I still have tons of it left. A good portion was spoken between the two of us.... except for the ending, which I was a naughty mean writer then... MUWAWAWAWAWA


In high school, I even went by dreamin space kitty, and I'd create fics that people could tell me their scenarios and I'd take the info and turn it into a fic... I was a total geek back then (heck I still am) but I did have fun.

Don't Worry Gatchamarie. I did/do the exact same thing, only for me it was Mark who I roll played and developed as a character. My Mary Sue is - I am the Swan and his relationship is with me.

And I too was cautions about leaving written material around although I had to learn my lesson while in High School, where my peers found a story I wrote and read it out to the rest of the class. From then on I never wrote again. (I should say from then until about 3 years ago when a few on this board poked me into beginning again.)
