Awesome Women of PR Ficathon


Introducing the Awesome Women of Power Rangers ficathon-- celebrating the awesome ladies of Power Rangers. (Many thanks to artsy_chef for the banner!)
Full details are available on the AO3 site. This ficathon is for stories about our favorite women (or characters referred to by female pronouns) from Power Rangers, including supporting characters and villains. I don't promise I have everyone, so if you want someone who's a minor character, please check the tag set to be sure that she's in there! If she's not, please leave a comment or PM me and I'll add her.
Stories must be at least 750 words. Sign ups open April 18 and close May 2. Assignments will go out that weekend, and stories are due July 6 (AKA the end of a long weekend in the US).
Feel free to put questions in the comments or my private messages!

Dan Ewing

OK, let's get this on the actual discussion/news community and this time with prior permission from the mods:
I don't know how many of you are following Dan Ewing on Twitter, but apparently his wife had a miscarriage. As if that weren't bad enough, one of the Australian tabloids (I'm not justifying their existence by naming names, but Dan is on his twitter) has posted a horrible story about Marni (his wife) today.

So here's the thing: I'd like to do something. I obviously suck at organizing fannish auctions as the last one I volunteered to help with never happened, but that seems like a good option.

Also picking a charity is tough. They're Australian. Is March of Dimes international? (Do they even deal with miscarriages or just birth defects. Though most miscarriages are actually because the fetus isn't viable.) Can someone suggest a better one?

I'm willing to put in work, but I'm not sure of the how. Does anyone have ideas or have experience with fannish auctions and want to help?

Because Ranger Fandom isn't as cohesive in these sorts of things as I feel we should be. (I mean, if it were AJJ or Mrs. JDF maybe.) And I just...

We can't all go give them hugs (and it would creep them out more than help them), but maybe we can do something so that people don't have to go through what they're going through right now, even without the Aussie Tabloid.

Alternately, I might research a charity and set up a just giving page, would folks be interested in that? Brain storming is much appreciated.

Update: The Ewings have requested donations to the St. Thomas hospital in London, and said hospital has a relationship with ukvirgingiving, which is like justgiving. It would be easy enough to set up a page. Would people be interested in either doing this directly or participating (and again, HELPING ME ORGANIZE) a fanworks auction?

Multi-Fandom Challenge: Tag Frenzy

There's a new all-fandom, all-fanworks challenge called Tag Frenzy. The purpose is to nominate and vote for your favorite underused tags on AO3, and then create fanworks for them!

There's no time limit, no length requirements, no limits on ratings or pairings or anything else. You can nominate and vote and not create fanworks, so if there's that one tag that you've been burning to see used more often, feel free to nominate it!

You can find more information on the official tumblr page.

Come play!

Power Features Database

gDocs table of all Ranger powers and relates features to date, as prepared by [personal profile] sailorsol and myself. Including animal companions, secondary powers, battlized states and - where relevant - formal command order.

The table is filterable by... pretty much any attribute. Some choices regarding terminology were made with that in mind.

The filterability was one of our primary motivations in preparing this - all this information is available elsewhere, but the table view has its uses. (Secondary animals! They're fascinating.)

Have fun with this and, of course, insights, suggestions and corrections welcome!

Power Ranger Love

Here's a little vid I found of someone who loves power rangers as much or possibly even more than we do.

Workin' for a living...

So I've been rewatching Lost Galaxy lately and I've been wondering. We know that Kai, Kendrix and Mike all work with the GSA, Damon's a mechanic, but what about Leo, Maya and Karone?

We've seen Maya handling horses once, and Leo's been seen a few times playing with kids - one time with Karone too, and Leo's been snuck on to a few official rescue missions thanks to Mike. But there's no mention of what they generally do to pass the time.

What do you guys think?

Evil Villains and their wacky side kicks...

So, I've been doing a re-watch of RPM and one thing that struck me was that here's a huge bad ass like Venjix, lethal, un-caring and out to exterminate all life. And then here are his top two generals, Shifter and Crunch. Granted, Shifter's had his moments, but Crunch is set up as your standard air-headed side kick.

Which got me wondering. Why do you think bad guys keep these silly guys around? I mean, sure there's a few you have possible explanations for, like Elgar only staying around because he's Divatox's nephew. But then you see things like Flurious and Norg.

So, what are your theories?

Power Rangers Samurai: The Team Unites


SPOILERS POSSIBLE



It is hopeful that a good number of us actually did see the first episode of PR: Samurai. If you haven't, don't read any more unless you want to have it spoiled.

Happy News

Given that this community is meant to share PR News, I wanted to post this here.


IT IS CONFIRMED

Disney sold Power Rangers back to Saban and Saban will present new episodes in 2011 on Nickelodeon. There are twenty confirmed episodes and I've heard rumors of a movie as well.


What have you heard?

Hey ya'll, maybe some help?

So I have this story about black rangers, where they're about two things, the road not taken and being unnoticed. They do their job, they lead when the leaders can't, they moderate, they guide, but they don't step in and do it, they hide their true selves so that they are underestimated.

I've been recently inspired to do a fanvid for them, or to be specific: Zack, Adam, Carlos, Danny, Tommy and Will.***

So, I have imagies in my mind of what I want to see their clips be, however, what I need from you lovely peoples a song. Preferably one. Something other than the song Men In Black. About the black's two sides and making hard choices. I come up with nothing. So I ask you guys to help, please.
Please.
Please help.


***Yes, I am aware that there are other Black Rangers and black collored allies (Phantom Ranger, and Magna Defender, come specifically to mind) but they were, well, Black Alien/Aquitar, fought for his home and was only helping. Dillon was RPM, which was clearly a completely different part of the multiverse, and the allies weren't really part of the team as team. (Shadow was SPD and except for the nightmare-epidode where nobody could remember anything by the end of it, they didn't show up during the "present" continuity of the universe. Except for Once a Ranger but that's a different color) They just weren't a part of this story.

New Poll

I just thought I'd try to stir up some interest here, after all, what's the point in having a place to talk Rangers if nobody uses it. I was getting ready to go to town and see a movie when I started thinking about the end of Power Rangers and what I was going to do next, and I decided to see what everyone else had to say.

Life After Power Rangers, does it exist?
