If yall think the posts are too long, don't read them. No one is twisting your arm. Read them or don't. I'm not going to change anything. As the ideas come to me I type them. That's it. No changes will be made.

Highcastle:

I see the Hero's Journey as overdone in my opinion. Factually it's not wrong. It can't be because it's an art form. Art is for anyone and everyone. Any writer can write how they want.

EXAMPLE: RWBY as told by KNN005 in one long season of 25 episodes each 30mins long. A brief overview.

1) Ruby has graduated Beacon, works with Jaune, Ren, Blake, Weiss, Yang, Nora and Nikos as international hunters

2) Cinder does her plan in Vale working with Torch, Neo, Em, and Merc.

3) Ruby's and friends do detective work to discover who Cinder is and her motive and start hunting her down

4) One by one their Rogue Gallery (Em, Merc, Neo, and Torch) bite the dust but bought Cinder enough time...

5) Cinder gets her other half of the Maiden power and hauls ass

7) Cinder accidently leads Ruby's group to Salem having no where else to go, Salem sics Grimm swarms and her head hanchos(Watts, Tyrian, and Hazel) on Ruby's group.

8) Ruby's group fights well but Jaune, Nikos and Weiss die. Ruby runs off, but Blake find evidence of Salem's intentions (books, lab reports, amoral shit)

9) Ruby makes it to Salem enraged and unfocused due to Weiss' death, loses. Qrow saves her, and dies.

10) Salem escapes. Ruby depressed but decided to make it right and as reinforcements arrive (all the heroes converge on the Salem's base) Ruby finds Salem on the roof, final battle, she wins

11) Fin
