Quote:Has it? Really? I mean, the "kick the senshi's ass" variant I've seen -- Carrot's "Gaijin" is a great example, especially since his SI character was going out of his way to not tangle with them -- but I don't remember ever seeing any "train the senshi" fics. Could you point me at some, so I can check'em out for cliches to subvert? And most of the other SI SM fics I've seen have generally involved becoming one of the senshi, in one form or another, which certainly doesn't apply here.
I came up with that notion because "new character shows up in the Mooniverse and thanks to their superior grasp of military tactics ... whips the senshi into a lean, mean fighting machine ..." has become such a cliche.
Without having seen others of the "train the senshi" subgenre, I can't say for certain now that what I have planned is unique. But I'd like to think it is... Doug won't just be teaching them tactics...
