Summary

Each chapter is an outline or idea for episodes or expansions I'd add if I got to reboot the show.

This is working under the assumption that the miniseries would take place over seven months rather than seven days, and that it would be comprised of about 24 episodes, around 40 minutes each. Some of the ideas would be set post-canon, though, for later 'seasons'.

(Number of fics until I reach 300: 8...)

Chapter 1: Basic Notes


I'm adding this piece of AI art here because I can. It came out really well, I think, though not quite perfect.

Each episode would have a cold open of DG's life in Kansas, with a loose and light plotline between them. The cold open for the last episode of 'season one' would be set just before the start of the pilot, to bring things full circle.

 

Each episode would end with a short, funny and/or fluffy 'after-credits' scene. That way I can have my softer ideas without interfering too much with the tone of the series.

 

The chapters are sorted into four categories:

• GI — General Ideas, edits or additions that would affect multiple episodes or a character in general and be woven in throughout the story.

• F/B — Flashbacks/Backstories, things that affect the characters or world before canon.

• MC — Mid Canon, specific episode ideas and such that would take place during the miniseries' original journey.

• LS — Later Seasons, things that take place after canon. This is where some of the lightest ideas live, because everyone deserves happiness and fun times after 15 annuals of hardship, but isn't entirely angst-free. This is still Tin Man, after all.

 

I hope you enjoy 😊

"...a crow that really likes stealing things, mostly shiny things and buttons — but that's okay because so does Ambrose, and they like trading between their respective hoards" 😂😂😂 🐦‍⬛✨

I think this one could work in canon best out of all these (amazing ideas) so far! It could fit right in!
