[Fan Fiction] Big O Parallel Universe

Lady Tesser 09-18-2003 03:52 PM
oh ... my ... god ...

IT'S ROXANNE!!!

*bows to Jingu* We're not worthy! We're not worthy! We're scum!

My only suggestion is making the stockings slightly more sheer, since they kinda blend in with her suit. But - otherwise - SHE'S PERFECT!

I agree with Sixfortyfive's title of 'Reciprocal Paradigm'. Anyone else think it's okay? Or is there something else we haven't thought of?

I doodled out the parallel opening and ending credits after my humanities test today, so I'll be posting them with the stories.

I got act 2 underway at last. I'm taking liberties with the beginning because I don't remember how it starts, but it'll smooth out as the story progresses.

Jingu, I still can't get over that pic of Roxanne ... it's great!
C.R Foxhound 09-18-2003 05:24 PM
Im cool with the title,then again, i dont really care what its called

...........my one shot is done!!!!

who wants to read it?

Its 100% guranteed to suck

I bet my membership on it Big Grin
Lady Tesser 09-18-2003 05:45 PM
*rolls eyes* Anyone who says their stuff sucks gets stomped on by Beck's Super Victory Deluxe - the most embarrassing way to die!

I'm going to be sending act 1 to Sixfortyfive for him to post up at his site to get the ball rolling. CR - you can PM it to me if you want me to look it over first (just offering) before you send it to Sixfortyfive.

I ran into a snag in writing act 2. How did Roger end up at the Nightingale when Dorothy and Wayneright showed up? Did he figure out she was connected to Wayneright before then? How so? I really do not remember the second episode!

*starts gripping hair in frustration*

Jingu!!! That is awesome!!! I love how you color and all

We are soo not worthy!! Big Grin

Like I said before and I'll say it again.

I can't color. I need to learn how to color. Must take Photoshop coloring classes
JinguJ 09-19-2003 02:11 AM
Thank you all T_T but you all worthy!!! I am only worthy for my lousy drawings ._.;

AH and I have sketched another pic.. but... it's seriously not good. It's beth.

Not finished yet Smile

and C.R I wanna see your writings XD
C.R Foxhound 09-19-2003 10:39 AM
I'll pm it to you Jingy,although it would be better if i could email it to you

be warned...

its not poof,poof happy Big Grin

Thats a cool drawing,is that Beth?

(I doubt Roxy would smoke)
David F 09-19-2003 10:51 AM
*Pokes head in the door of the private meeting* Awesome drawing! You know maybe you should do your drawings manga style and like use the colored drawings as your covers. Your manga style is the shiznit.
Lady Tesser 09-19-2003 02:38 PM
Funky-looking Beth. ^_^

Beth: You have NO idea what's in this cigarette! Hee-hee-hee-hee!

Actually, David has a good idea there: illos b/w and one pic for each episode in color, like a cover pic. That way you won't be driven crazy with coloring everything you draw.

(As a side note, I finished 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' last night. Editing begins soon.)

I decided I'm going to include the opening and ending credits in the text, but I'm going to change the songs on the ending credits (CR just PM'ed me the lyrics to a really good Depeche Mode song). Artists, this would be an extra credit in creating opening/ending pics. Just an idea, we'll drop it if no one wants the credits.

* * *

Here's the opening description for the series -

[We see black silhouettes of the Griffon, Big O (female outline), the Prairie Dog, the watch, and Roxanne Smith against a background of pulsing 'mod' colors and German newspapers. As well as the blatant Queen music rip-off playing ... but it's excused because Queen is popular in Japan and Queen rules.]

Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!

[The following chorus - done in such terrible Engrish that it can't be identified as any relation to English - shows:
Facial shot of Roxanne Smith, her in her black suit, black tie, her black hair pulled up in a pile with whisps of hair falling around her face, a smirk on her lips. Caption says 'Negotiator'.
Facial shot of Dorian Wayneright, he in his black butler's coat and bowtie, an expressionless look on his face, his black headband across his forehead, and his auburn hair in his face.
Caption says 'Android'.
Facial shot of Norma Burg, her black and white striped blouse, black apron, black tie, eyepatch over one eye, her white hair pulled up in a tight bun, and looking quite prim.
Caption says 'Housekeeper'.
Facial shot of Danielle Dastun, her in the Military Police uniform, cap on, her dark brown hair pulled back in a braid, her face serious.
Caption says 'Officer'.]

Cast in the name of God
Ye not the guilty
We have came to terms!
Big-O!

[More black silhouettes of Big O, the Griffon, and Roxanne.]

Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! -O! -O! Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! -O! -O! Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!

[Ends with Roxanne standing before the profile of Big O.]

* * *

And here's the ending with both Roxanne and Dorian -

[Roxanne Smith sitting on top of a large snowglobe with a model of Paradigm City inside the globe. She has her arms folded, one hand raised to her chin as she smirks and raises an eyebrow. Dorian is sitting on the other side, guitar sitting on floor with his hand around the neck, one foot on the floor, the other foot perched on globe, looking at the viewer without expression, and his hair in his face.

Female: Sometimes I feel
so all alone
finding myself calling your name...
Male: When we're apart
so far away
hoping it's me that you're thinking of...
Female: Could it be true? Could it be real?
Both: My heart says that you're the one
Male: There's no one else
you're the only one for me
Both: Yes, this time our love's the real thing!
Never felt that love is so right
the world seemed such an empty place
We need someone we could give our all
Female: Baby it's you
Male: Ooh -
Female: We'll be together
Both: Now and forever
Female: Could it be true?
Male: Yes it's true
Female: Could it be real?
Both: My heart says that you're the one
Male: There's no one else
you're the only one for me
Both: Yes, this time our love's the real thing!
Never felt that love is so right
the world seemed such an empty place
We need someone we could give our all
Female: Baby it's you
Male: It's you
Both: We'll be together now and forever
Never felt that love is so right
the world seemed such an empty place
We need someone we could give our all
Female: Baby it's you
Male: It's you
Both: We'll be together now and forever ... ]

And the next episode teaser -

Shot of phone on desk, snowglobes in the background. The phone rings ... once ... twice ...
Roxanne's gloved hand reaches over and picks up the receiver, the cord dangling.
A woman's voice - abused from years of whiskey drinking and cigarette smoking - says:
[Episode name]
C.R Foxhound 09-19-2003 05:58 PM
I aint neva seen neer credits in nuh fanaa-fic

but it's all good, im ok with it

Question:Is the sand gonna move inside the hourglass(I guess Roxanne and Dorian cant sit on a snowglobe, *imagines the ending sequence as just Roxanne and Dorian falling of a snowglobe and trying to get back on*)

And what will be Norma's hobby? i remember in one epidsode Norman took the day off and wanted to go fishing
Lady Tesser 09-19-2003 06:56 PM
The snowglobe was suggested to me by someone here - God, I forgot who! Was it Sixfortyfive? - for Roxanne's fetish. Roger has his hourglasses, Roxanne has her snowglobes - a symbol of the relative quietness of Paradigm City, punctuated by people 'shaking things up' (like picking up a snowglobe and shaking it around).

I've seen hundreds of different snowglobes - one of them was almost three feet across (it had a crank to turn the globe around for the glitter to move) which is what I based the one Dorian and Roxanne sit on - and their designs can be quite beautiful. I figure they would be Paradigm City (NY), various figures, angels, and mythological beings (signifigance lost). Considering Pero had knocked the hourglasses off Roger's desk, Pera will be knocking Roxanne's snowglobes off her desk - not only glass, but liquid stuff!

The snow and glitter will be whirling around inside during the song. I don't know if it did in season 1, but I know it does in season 2. Can anyone confirm season 1 hourglass sand falling?

Mm ... okay, maybe the opening/ending idea was silly.
Shady Dark Lady 09-19-2003 08:10 PM
Lady Tesser, I can't wait to read it, along with the Mr. & Mrs. Smith, of course. I printed The Blossoming Rose out and put it in a binder with a picture of Dorothy on it. That way I can read it over and over! JinguJ should hopefully do some picures for those stories too.
Lady Tesser 09-19-2003 08:20 PM
Ego-boo - thanks, Shady Dark Lady!

You'll have to ask Jingu or maybe even Rouge for illos to any of my work. I always wanted illos, but I didn't want to ask lest I sound too egocentric (but I am).

Act two is coming steadily along, although I am missing massive amounts of anime plot. The manga follows the general direction, but some things are different. Right now I'm at the point of Beth kidnapping Dorian again at the Nightingale. Need to find a segue into the resurrected Dorian I attacking the mint again ...

Woo-hoo! Friday Night Eighties on Mix 105.1 is playing 'Centerfold' by J. Giles Band! *dances in chair and goes back to fanfic writing* The only way to spend Friday night - 80's pop and writing!
Shady Dark Lady 09-19-2003 09:05 PM
Lady Tesser,
I had to laugh. I grew up in the 80's and I remember that song well. After I read the Blossoming Rose and listened to some Pat Benatar, I got inspired to write one as well. I still have alot of editing, but I never wrote one so I'm kind of afraid to post it...Maybe after I finish editing and all, I'll get up the courage to do it. It's funny how when you are really into music you can find so many songs that fit anime characters perfectly...
NVWC2006 09-19-2003 11:06 PM
:-D I like, i like.
Both the story, and the drawings.
Roxanne is hot! In both the pics here and at the Reciprical Paradigm site.

I can't wait for more acts! And pics! Super hot girls!
righto...

But I know this one is bad... Frown any thoughts?


I love that pic of Roxanne in the suit! She looks so cute.


Well this idea is really taking off I can't wait to read it. Big Grin
Sixfortyfive 09-20-2003 10:52 PM
I think I'm going to wait until Jingu has all the pictures that she wants drawn out, and I'll set it up with text and pictures laid out on images that represent pages of the story.

How's it coming along, Jingu? Don't overwork yourself now. Wink
Lady Tesser 09-20-2003 11:05 PM
*snaps whip* Draw, slave! You're my illo do-girl! ^_^

Just kidding, really. Act 2 hit another snag, but I mentioned it already somewhere or to someone (reality blurrs). I need to start writing it again instead of finding excuses to work on my Roger+Dorothy fics.

Well, maybe act 2 can wait until act 1 is completely up, it'll give time for Jingu to finish. (You don't have to animate the new series, honey.)

Then it's back to work to editing 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' and kicking around ideas for 'Past of Tomorrow'.

CR's been working on some great ideas for one-shots, by the way. I really encourage the writing of one-shots to flesh the universe out.

Hmm ... you know, Sixfortyfive, you mentioning about laying it out as a story ... I know it's a bit late, but an interesting layout would be like a report that Roxanne would have typed up with pics attached like in crime scene reports. Maybe one of the one-shots or something can be done that way.

Just a thought to kick around.

*raises hand*

Ooooo ooooooo ooooooooo!!!! I know!!

Something like that can be done for Dani*writes down in notebook*

*a giant gong sounds in the bakground and CR is yanked off stage*

AAAhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Sixfortyfive 09-20-2003 11:58 PM
Hey Tess...

If you ever run into a snag with the current act, just go ahead and jot down some scenes for the big finale that we've talked about. I've got an idea for the title of the second to last act.

I'm also not exactly sure what you guys mean by a report, but I'll do one page of the story when Jingu has the pics ready and you guys can tell me what you think about it.
C.R Foxhound 09-21-2003 12:08 AM
Hey sixty,what finale?

cmon tell me,please pm me, throw a dog a bone here, i may not be a "main" writer, but im still writing

pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee!
