Talking about ditched Splatoon Series

I know you might not have opinions on these series, but please, I would like to discuss the other stories I've had in mind. These have kind of been bugging me for a while now, and I'd really like fan opinions on what you think! If you don't have anything to add or just want to say "do what you want to do" (as this does not help me choose) then you don't have to comment, but I'd like some people to at least try if they're interested.

Stuff I've posted but don't plan on continuing unless people want me to:

⭐️Coralseries: Based on Alexis Pflaum/Squeaky's version of splatoon 3. I know CoralBed wasn't the best, especially with the really unoriginal antagonists and such. This story had some great potential, with 3 other arcs that had great title art (at least in my opinion). I wanted to try and continue it to make it better but fell out of it when I had a lot of characters to manage. The plots have been written for the other stories, I'd just require other people's opinions on whether or not I should keep going with it or not.

⭐️Permafrost: Based on Olive Waffles' story Shockwave, I had a LOT planned for this, but put this side by side with the fact I have Kyroad/Corocourse and it just clashes. I've been working on this overnight, and it took me more than a year just to finish arc 1. I planned on making the other arcs way shorter, but I'm just not even sure if people like it that much. Character writing could go way better in my opinion.

Stuff I've started but never bothered with finishing:

⭐️Ightseries: This story centered around a new hero group called the Darknights, and there were around 25 arcs in total, way shorter than Kyroad. It put a new twist on traits, and I started Crystalight (Season 1 Arc 1) but wasn't sure if it was something people would even want to read. The characters in the hero group are characters some of you may be familiar with, though they aren't canon cartoon characters, just OCs.

⭐️A Trace Of Shadow: This story focused on the adventures of Sen Pyras and Stygian Vidos, as well as a new character named Eventide. There were 6 arcs total, all of which would be short but provide lore about Shadowlings. This one I was unsure about because it didn't sound like an interesting enough story. There was consideration, since the villains were unique, but overall it got dropped.

⭐️Silverseries: This is a collab with another person called Rae, and I am currently looking for more writers to help me. You need to have pretty good writing/grammar usage to work with us. It's based on Vermillion Seas' version of Splatoon 3 and follows a female Inkling named Crystal as she fights through 3 arcs with friends. I wanted to try and keep this up for as long as possible, though because of COVID, all of us have been busy.

⭐️Splatourney: This one was based on the thought of if Splatoon was more of a Battle-Royale kind of thing. The main character, Rona, is a male inkling that has a goal of becoming a king. He isn't exactly the ideal hero because of how he treats other people, but over time he would develop relationships and learn more about others. I thought it was interesting since I'd never really put an arrogant character as a main character in a story.

Stuff I haven't even bothered with, just dreaming about:

⭐️TrapSplat: This series was based on Soul Eater because it was about two inklings (Jayblaze and Thundershawk) with elemental powers going after rogue creatures that misused their powers. It was actually one of my earlier stories I made when I started NightRoad, but just never got up off the ground enough to go anywhere.
Elemental creatures included:
Berus, an earth fangtooth
Cairo, a water cuttleling boy
Cumulus, an air crane
And more! I had a reference sheet somewhere...

⭐️Splatoon Odyssey: This is my own version of Splatoon 3, where you start as an octoling and unlock other species as you play and explore. It's more open than the other games, and would come with things like apartments, pets, different cities with different turf stages, clothing, activities, etc. The story centered around the two octolings trying to stop a gharial from generating numerous power outages in the other areas, but it never got anywhere. Several concept things have been drawn for it though.

⭐️Splashroad: This was basically Splatroad's next generation before Olive told me she already had her own idea planned. It took some slight inspiration from Digimon in its own sense, as well as some other show I was informed about called Dinocore or something. The heroes here would have new traits while the old SplatRoad heroes would assist them on missions. It was interesting, but once it was dismissed, I dropped it.

⭐️Foxfire: Once again a series based on Olive's story Shockwave. It follows a sea slug resembling a fox in a way, a humanoid foxfish, and a Pygmy octoling based on a tanuki. There really wasn't a plot, though there was a new Shadowling clan introduced called Kogosclan.

I also have a BUTTLOAD of Splatoon 3-based stories, but those are all on a google doc because god there are too many.
