A childish scrawl

To get the taste of my last post out of my mouth, here's a question for a) writers/readers, b) Phantom fans, and c) any for whom those intersect. I think it would be a good idea to get myself writing more, even if it's not linear, that I will eventually use. I also need to build some kind of portfolio. So I have two plans:

1. Write an article for one of the cinema/horror magazines and attempt to get a byline.

and

2. Write more here for the Phantom community for my exercise and everyone's discussion.

My question for you is: What do you think might be good subjects to tackle for either? For 1, what's an angle that hasn't been taken before that I can tackle in a concise fashion? An overview of the History of POTO will only work if I can find a nice hook, and can limit it to a certain theme. For 2, what would you be interested in reading/discussing?

I haven't dropped by in a while so first I just want to say Hi and I'm glad I find you and your husband in good health in the new year.

My opinion is probably worth about as much as a toenail clipping and a broken monocle but I wanted to throw my own writing suggestion out there.

Pre-Script
I know nothing about the Phantom communities maybe this has already been done or is just stupid.

I wanted to suggest an account created on Twitter for the main character you select and written in real time as a real Twitter user. Also being forced to write such short pieces will sharpen your writing and tighten up your word usage I would suspect.

Just a silly idea,
have a great weekend!
