Introducing My Ongoing Series

I post a lot of things about comics and video games, and I've been thinking about some ongoing series that I wanted to start creating to give me some kind of direction and stuff to post about when I don't have anything else to post about, so it's still useful. I've already been doing one of these for a while, just recently started another, and the third is something I wanted to play around with. So I wanted to explain a little more about each one and what I'm trying to do with them. SCP research One of them is the SCP research. I've been using that a lot in my own writing for ideas and random thoughts. I've been going through and researching the SCPs, a few at a time, and writing up some thoughts on each one and explaining about them. So that's one series I've already been doing for a while. For anybody unfamiliar with SCP, it's a collaborative fiction project about an organization that studies and contains things that break the normal rules of reality. That can be a creature, an object, a place, or some strange event that nobody fully understands. The entries usually read like files about what the thing does, how they're containing it, and what happened when somebody tried to study it. I want to get into the actual stories as I go through them. What the SCP is, what it does, the background that goes along with it, and the details that make that particular entry interesting. Sometimes there's a lot more going on in the reports and experiments than you would get from just reading a short description of the anomaly. For me, a lot of the value is in taking the time to research them individually. One little detail can get me thinking about a character, a situation, or something completely different in my own writing. I'm hoping it can do the same thing for other writers too. You might come across one of these posts and get a random idea for something you're working on, or just find a story you want to read more about. That's a big part of why I want to keep doing it. Science Behind the Character The second one I just recently started is Science Behind the Character, because I really like the way that real-life science translates back into comic science and video game science. I started a series for that where I'm basically picking a character and then going into detail about their powers, how their powers would work in a real-life scenario, and how comic science versus real-life science kind of fit together. What works and what doesn't. I want to go pretty deep with these. Depending on the character, that could mean looking at biology, physics, chemistry, materials, or several of those at the same time. If somebody has a healing ability, there's a lot to consider about how their body repairs itself and what that process would require. If somebody manipulates energy, we can get into where that energy comes from, what happens when they release it, and how they survive using it themselves. Then I want to relate all of that back to how the power actually works in the story. Sometimes the fictional explanation has a real scientific idea behind it. Other times it needs something that doesn't exist or doesn't work that way in reality. I want to go through those details and explain where the comparisons make sense and where the story has to make its own rules. These can be individual characters or characters we're working through as part of a team. Either way, I want each one to get a detailed analysis. I want to really work through what using that ability would involve, both for the character and for whatever is around them. Realistic Obituaries Another thing I want to do is a fake obituary, more like a fun gimmick-type thing. I'm calling this one Realistic Obituaries. I'll be writing fake obituaries for characters that have died in comics, movies, games, and stuff like that. The idea is to write them like an actual obituary for that character. Who they were, the life they lived, what they did, and how they died, presented in that familiar obituary format. We can do heroes and villains. There will obviously be spoilers involved, so I'll make it clear which story or version of a character we're talking about. These will be fictional obituaries. This is more like a playful idea that I wanted to kind of play around with. I haven't worked out every detail of how I want these to look yet, but I want to try a couple and see how they turn out.
