[Fan Fiction] Big O Parallel Universe

Lady Tesser 09-14-2003 03:42 PM
LOL

Yeah, that's pretty lame unless the girl has a sense of humor. (Married 3 years this month - dating is a bad nightmare I don't have to deal with anymore). And the idea of a good-looking guy getting away with such stuff - that's why I suggested the tablescraps ... old Muppet Show episode had a French actor guest starring and seducing Miss Piggy by talking in French which translated into 'Please change my car oil.' and 'I want to order a donut and a coffee, please'. ^_^

That's a pretty good suggestion, though. Angel murmurs that to Roxanne, and it drives her crazy she can't figure out what it means until she gets ahold of something to translate it - right in front of Dorian. Roxanne blushes to death and mutters about kicking Angel's ass, while Dorian quietly wonders how to tear Angel's vocal cords out. Norma, overhearing, snickers to herself in the kitchen.

First season is pretty well established, little can be done to alter the storyline considerably. There's little chance our version of season 1 will be finished before the real season 2 is over. We just have to be careful with the 'romantic' parts to make sure it doesn't jump the gun (so to speak) concerning Angel or Dorian. (Although the concept of Alexia lording over Angel appeals to me - nothing overt, just smirking and dry jokes, which Angel dutifully ignores.)

I updated my previous post to reflect the American measurement system.

Also, I don't know if the question's been posed yet, but what exactly are we gonna name this creation? Any thoughts?
C.R Foxhound 09-14-2003 03:47 PM
well Outlaw Skull had in one of his negociation result one liners:

Big O: Parallel Justice

.........or we could just use the symbol that you made 6fo'ty5
Lady Tesser 09-14-2003 04:04 PM
I was waiting for someone to come up with something brilliant for a subtitle. Of course, keep Big O, but since this isn't the normal Big O, we have to have a subtitle.

Parallel Justice sounded nice. Any other suggestions?

hummm this is a little of topic but it works best hear.

why last night dident dorothy take alen gabreal's arm off and beat him with it? i figured he would shoot at her and then she would drop him like a bad habbit, but no! she just got shot, and ran away!

the hole time i was yelling at my T.V. "Come on girl, get up, rip off his arm and drill into his stupid grinning face!" why dident she do it? alen isent reely human. it makes no sence Mad Mad

i reely want to know. is it just the fact that she is japanise, and has to be lady like? but then why dident she just blow up in the other epp? ???? this makes no sence....
Lady Tesser 09-15-2003 04:01 PM
Sounds like it's a legitimate question for the Smith Mansion, you can post it there, Trotsky. (Personally, I'm waiting for her to kick him in the vitals when he gets close enough.)

Anyone else think last night's episode is going to be kick-A to write for this universe?

Question - shall I start act 2?

And are there going to be illos of act 1? (Publisher's slang for 'illustration'.) I'm curious is all.
Rouge 09-15-2003 04:32 PM
Yay male Angel is hispanic Big Grin We all know how girls like the latinoa type (At least me).

About the romantic thing, like I said not necesarily following the season but we would really have to do it carefully. Of course I am all for Roxanne x Dorian (male Angel is to hot to be tied down Tongue ).

By the way Yo Hablo Español

EDIT: Yep you should start Act 2, but do take your time don't rush. About Act 1 Illustrations, can just anyone do it? or do you have someone in charge of it?
Lady Tesser 09-15-2003 04:41 PM
Agreed - Angel flies solo. (Ignore pun.) (And I'm all for Dorian and Roxanne, too, but I have to remain neutral while I write. Pooh.)

I don't have anyone in mind to do illos for act 1, so if anyone wants to do it, they're welcomed to. I don't have any guidelines, either, so you can do however many pics you want for whatever scene you think would be neat to draw. We're just doing this for fun.

I'll start kicking ideas around for act 2 and try to remember how they did it in the anime - I know it's REALLY different from the manga (like Wayneright being killed in his house rather than the Nightingale).

Oh - before I forget - I need some help with the Nightingale bit. For one thing, Dorothy dressed up and sang before people. We had established Dorian plays guitar, so any ideas of how to work with that? Maybe an open mike night or something? I'm also tempted to have him have a favorite guitar, but he's still an android, so it wouldn't matter to him what he played on. Or would it, just to make him different?
C.R Foxhound 09-15-2003 05:31 PM
An open mike night would probably work, and as a small token of appeciation to mummy, he plays her favorite song(it could be her birthday or something during act two)

Dorian probably would have a favorite guitar,it would allow for some interesting moments,especially when Roxanne tries to get rid of it*shrugs*

I wanted to do a one shot for Michelle Seebach, but what happened to Mike?How did he find the truth? did he go underground?
JinguJ 09-15-2003 05:39 PM
hohohohoho, act 20 will be something that I'll look forward to gert alternated Big Grin

I have sketch out few scenes BUT I have to ink it and color it first ok? ^^;
Lady Tesser 09-15-2003 06:18 PM
CR - Yeah, we'll got for open mike. And since Tina Wayneright based Dorian on her own son, that meant the original Dorian was just a teenage boy who liked his rock music. Besides, I'm pretty sure old lady Wayneright was quite a rebel in her youth. *goes to look up lyrics to Queen's 'Tie Your Mother Down'*

(Frankly, I'm looking forward to finding all those hard rock songs with rancous guitar parts ... Oh, yeah, Dorian also sings along, so it's a double-whammy against Roxanne in the mornings.)

I do like the idea of a favorite guitar. It was a gift from mum so it's the only sentimental thing he has - probably even named it Athena (Teena, Tina, etc). And a delicious line popped into my head!

Roxanne: 'Touch that guitar, Dorian, and I'll break it in half and garrot you with the E-string."

Mike Seebach had indeed gone underground to find the Truth. Evidently, he found Archetype down there and decided to make people listen by getting their attention with Archetype (he went on a rampage with Archetype in volume two of the manga). In the anime, he put Roger on a wild goosechase and stuff before Roger finally went underground.

I'm going to wait for the rest of the episodes on the DVD (pre-ordered it yesterday!) before I write more. 'Electric City' didn't even happen in the manga, and I'd like to do it, since it introduces Angel (of which I know Rouge is looking forward to ^_^).

Jingu - take your time, hon, don't rush. We still need to figure out where we're going to put these stories. Although I am immensely excited about seeing your work!
Sixfortyfive 09-15-2003 06:53 PM
Well shucks, I feel useless right about now. Can I make the layout and HTML for the final product? I *do* have a website that I'm not exactly using if you're interested.
C.R Foxhound 09-15-2003 07:20 PM
huh, so thats what happened,thanks tess.If im lucky,i'll have the one-shot done by Friday, i just wanted to keep it acurate

All right people: for a possible hosting thing: I have asked Krang if he would be able to help us, and if you people send the text to Shredder, they will post it up! Also, if you have pictures to go with it...I think someway you guys can let them know that these pictures go with this story. I might make an artist thread in the next few days, or something. So, from now on, please send the stories to Shredder.

(Unless someone is hooking us up with a web site. Confused )

I will have my one-shot one of these days...probably not for another three months...but I can't wait to do mine.

And who says we can't just stick to the stories? I think we could have some off the wall ones like "Chocolate..." or something. (Chocolate is MINE! ALL MINE! *ahem*)

Well, hope this helps,
Pen1300

P.S.~Please, Let's be careful with some of the posts. Some border the thin line of spam or not. Thanks.

I think it's simply "The Paradigm Press." That's the one Seebach worked for, anyway.
Lady Tesser 09-15-2003 08:13 PM
Thanks, pen. *hug* I'll go through and do some more editing, as I realized some parts were kinda off in act 1. I would like to send it as a 'package' to whoever is hosting it - both story (writer sends) and artwork (artist sends) so they can be posted at the same time.

I offered to do the main story-arcs. One-shots can be slipped in anywhere. Season one was pretty loose and allows time for one-shots to be done, so no problem in that respect. (You all heard that - the 'chocolate shot' is pen's baby! ^_^)

CR - Don't post anything here. I'm going to get the ball rolling this week by finding out who's going to host it - Paradigm City or Sixfortyfive's site.

Sixfortyfive - You sure you want to host on your site? I'm afraid I'm terrible at uploading anything like you suggested in your PM, so could I just email it to you? And, yeah, we still need a name ...

Hmm ... now that I think about it, it may be better if Sixfortyfive hosted it, just set up a link on the links page here.

O_O() I don't know, I just write the stuff!!
Sixfortyfive 09-15-2003 08:46 PM
Either way's fine by me. I've got a lot of free time and a web domain that's not getting any use outside of just hosting files I don't want to keep on my computer. If you want to send anything to me, check my profile for my e-mail or AIM SN if you don't want to FTP.

I'm just waiting for Jingu's illustrations in anticipation. Big Grin
Redd 09-15-2003 09:26 PM
Just wondering... Is Pero going to be switched also? I might draw Pero as a girl if you want. What would her name be? Pera? Maybe she could have a little pink bow on her head. Smile
Rouge 09-16-2003 02:13 AM
Jingu, what kind of scanner do you have? and what kind of pen do you use for inking? (is it a normal pen or an artist pen?).

I want to have my own domain, but I am pennyless and I know I am lazy when it comes to layouts.

Um I'll try to draw something too, even if it is crappy lol!
