K2P2 is a new member who introduced herself via a post in one of the Bradbury's Jar challenges. Tell us a little about yourself, K2P2! How did you come to Gatchaman? Many of us here started with BOTP, but there are others who saw Gatchaman first, or were introduced through G-Force, or even Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Who is your favorite character(s)? What's your favorite incarnation? Pull up a chair at the Snack J and fill us in!

Once again Welcome K2P2. I would love to know what your name is in reference to. Or am I being particularly dumb in not understanding the reference?

Glad you've joined! You're going to have fun here!

I'm guessing your name's a reference to knitting? Welcome!

ooooh, you could be right LB. And here I claim to be a knitter.

I don't knit at all, but my mother does.

Greeting! Sorry so late to the party after the hurried rush to get things down from the prompt jar, but when the muse bit that hard, I just had to listen...that and I am experimenting with some new ways of writing just to be able to get things down and then worrying about connecting the whole thing later. I came to Gatchamania through some google searches I believe, but originally saw the show as Battle of the Planets in the late '70's. It was later in college in the eighties, I believe, that I heard about how the series was redone from the original Gatch...and after reading all the WONDERFUL episodes posted in the archives, I hav-ta say that the original is my favorite, sorry Kasey Kasem, but I knew you from America's Top 40's first... Favorite character? Can't really say. I like them all, but I also like to tinker with them. In the fic I posted, Jinpei is 13 so that would put the rest of the team in their twenties, I believe. And yes, Clouddancer, K2p2 is in reference to knitting, a nice stable Knit two, purl two rib, like what you would find on a mitten cuff.

Thank you k2p2. I COULD claim that I didn't get the reference because I have been crocheting recently rather than knitting. But my mind was trying to make links to K2 mountain references.

K2P2, your story is so similar to mine. I grew up with BOTP, then learned about Gatchaman as an adult. Suddenly it all made sense! While BOTP has a sentimental place in my heart, Gatchaman is number one for me. I agree, it's good to just be able to get your ideas down. It's so much easier to work with them when they're already on paper/computer file. Once that's done you can start editing.

Welcome, K2P2!!

Hi k2p2, glad you found us! hope to see you joining in with the other threads too, we certainly have lots of fun.

K2P2! It's great to have you here! My story is the opposite, since I've known the original Gatchaman during my childhood and it's only now that I'm becoming a bit acquainted with BotP through this site! What's on your same lines, and of many others, is that I still prefer Gatchaman from BotP, hopefully without offending anyone! Again, lovely that you've joined us and please don't hesitate to enter more into the ongoing discussions!
