My fanscript season preview...

StellaMagic · Martian

Cool. What is "Til Death Do Us Part" going to be about? Is Mallory going to be in your fanscript somewhere?

Martiangirl · Loonatic

Okay, I'll take a wack at it.

1. "A Fresh Start"-another brief look at a part of the Loonatics origin.
2. "Eye of the Storm"- Weather Vane comes back?
3. "Hunting Woonatics"-that's gotta have some Elmer Fudd descendant as a villain. Hehehehehehehe. . .
4. "Till Death Do Us Part"- Sounds like a romantic fic, if only because of the borrowing of wedding vows. Maybe and flashback at the events and eventual disintergration of Tech and Mallory's (potential) doomed love. Or maybe some psycho stalker decides to claim one of the Loonatics as their own. . .
5. "Fear Itself"- I'm a Batman fan, so the title just made me think Scarecrow. Maybe a villain with the power to make people experience their deepest fears to the point of insanity?
6. "A Hare-y Situation"- I know one thing. . . it involves rabbits.

7. "Double Trouble"- Loonatics vs. an updated version of the Wonder Twins.
8. "Shadows of the Rising Sun, Part 1"- Another two parter. That means one thing. This is goinging to have a supervillain. More evil, more destructive, more powerful than the lame run-ins the Loonatics usually go against. Maybe some more hellish powers than what we've seen so far(perhaps by a certain little Martian we all know and love

) .Unless this involves Black Velvet, in which case I'd be wrong (maybe Tech tries to heals and redempts her or something).
9. "Shadows of the Rising Sun, Part 2"- conclusion
10. "Inner Reflections"-Another look inside the motives of the Loonatics. Either that or Mirror Master makes an appearance.
11. "Love Stinks"- Actually I think this was mentioned previously on the tv.com forum. Is this the one where a Pepe Le Pew type bandit commits crimes, but charms the ladies (like Lexi), and Ace gets all jealous?
12. "The Cold, Hard Truth"- I'm guessing a possible betrayal
13. "Homecoming, part I"- Homecomeing refers to a return after being away (either to school or their home). I say it involves the decision of whether Zadavia returns to her home. . .and the return of Optimatus (finally) Muhahahahahaha! Or on the other hand, some future-future ep where the older, retired Loonatics recall their glory days and maybe make one last rescue before passing the torch to the next generation.
14. "Homecoming, part II"- this is a three parter, so it has to be of epic proportions.
15. "Homecoming, part III" conclusion

Those are my guesses.

Actually, I already have one of them posted on TV.com. Read the fan episode topic I started to see which one. You can`t miss it, it`s the first post or so. Oh, by the way, episode 7`s deliberately called "Trouble Double", it`s not a typo. Knowing that, I`ll let you re-evaluate that one.

Also, you`ll get some hints to some of my fanscripts by reading around in the fan episode and fan character topics. Be warned as they may contain a few spoilers I unintentionally put in there, although some of the story`s bound to change eventually.

On one last note, I`ve retconned/removed these following characters and episodes from the lineup:

Larceneko and Cheek - We now know what the desecndants are going to be like, so I`m not going to bother working any further on these two. A shame, really; they were going to be the two most comical villains/anti-heroes in the series, and Duck would have finally found his own underdogs to push around. Oh well, at least it makes room for other characters and episodes.

Kit Reynard - One of my other fan chars has already replaced her as "villainesse with a crush on Ace" so she won`t be featured any further. Her story would have been a little more sympathetic, but let`s just say I still have plans for a fox character...

Lucius Lupin/Loborg - originally intended to be the Loonatics` new arch enemey and possible ultimate enemy, there`s now a strong chance he`ll be cut from the final procession. However, it`s not definite yet.

Lucky Black Cat, Secrets Un-Stolen, Love At First Sight, The Flickering Torch, A New Enemy parts I & II, The City Is Our Enemy parts I-III - These were all episodes I originally intended to place in the lineup, but I cut them as I did their important characters. "A New Enemy" and "The City Is Our Enemy" could still make it into my next season, but again, it`s not a given.

StellaMagic · Martian

I really forgot about that one

Martiangirl · Loonatic

Sorry, I missed that about "Trouble Double". I was kinda in a rush, since at the last minute I realized I had to go to class, so I failed to check everything over carefully. Sorry again.

Harukuro · Beast

Did you post some of these on Fanfiction.net Crossfire? Because I remember seeing (and reading) Love Stinks and maybe Fear Itself on there. If that was you then great job I loved them!

If not then I guess someone took your ideas. Anyway can't wait to see your stories.

Oh, there`s already stories with those names? Sorry, but those people stole nothing. I`ve never actually submitted a story before in my life. Shoot, now I may not even be able to use those titles without being accused of plagiarism! I could always rename "Love Stinks" to "Smells Like Love", but "Fear Itself" is trickier. That, I could rename "Nothing To Fear...", but "Fear Itself" sounds a little more meaningful.

I dunno, would I be allowed to write a story with the same title as someone else`s? I never intended it to be the same name, I tried hard to think up an original name, but that`s hard to do in this day and age.

Well, now that I know there`s a story with that name already, I`ll have to see if I can ask those people permission to use the names for my story. Does anyone know who wrote those two? If so, could they contact them and ask for me? I would myself, but I`ve already joined a good number of communities, and I don`t want to have to log one more username and password into my brain just to talk to these people. Well, now I`m posting an updated list of episodes with names that may need to be changed:

A Fresh Start
Eye Of The Storm
Hunting Woonatics, Owd Chap
Till Death Do Us Part
Fear Itself/Nothing To Fear... (possible rename)
A Hare-y Situation
Trouble Double
Shadows Of The Rising Sun, part I
Shadows Of The Rising Sun, part II
Inner Reflections
Love Stinks/Smells Like Love (possible rename)
The Cold, Hard Truth
Homecoming, part I
Homecoming, part II
Homecoming, part III

I find it rather inconvenient to possibly have to rename two of my episodes, but I`d rather change the names (regardless of how much I liked the first ones) and cover my butt than continue using the current names and risk getting attacked for supposed idea stealing. I mean, they didn`t patent the story or anything, but if they were to think I stole their ideas, they may at least stalk me around the net until I meet whatever demands they have.

Grah, why couldn`t this have been simple?

Harukuro · Beast

Sorry for stressing you Crossfire. I guess people share alot of similar ideas but you can still do you're fanscript. Looking foward to reading it!

Crossfire · Frelengian

Do you think it would be okay if I still used the same names if I made a disclaimer beforehand that any similarities of any kind are merely coincidential, and that I apologize for any such inconveniences? `Cause I`d never want to steal someone else`s work; it wouldn`t feel satisfying to know that I didn`t come up with a sheer stroke of genius all on my own, plus it`s dishonorable.

Harukuro · Beast

I think that's a great idea and I agree with it respecting other writers(sp?) ideas and work.

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Hi guys! Just came across this fanscript topic of yours Crossfire and it sounds promising! And i believe the person who wrote those stories on fanfiction.net entitled "A Living Nightmare" and "Love Stinks" was me! They were part of my new original fan-made season episode ideas. Your fanscript season idea approach is along similar lines to my original season episode stories. The main difference being that you're going to write your stories in script format while i changed my story format to prose (initially i had intended to write all my ep stories in script too, but fanfiction.net doesn't allow that for some reason!). But I don't have a problem with you using similar or identical titles to my stories, and i'm sure you won't be using the same plot ideas that i've used in my stories. If you do use an identical ep title to one of my stories, it would be nice if you could just mention this somewhere in your write-up. And if you feel that maybe some of your plot ideas are very similar to mine, just make a disclaimer note that any similarities between your stories and mine are coincidental and not tied in/linked in any way. That should hopefully prevent confusion and mix ups between our stories! Anyway, i wish you the best with your take on a new LU season!

If you want to take a look at what my stories on fanfiction.net are like, go here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3054056/1/

Crossfire · Frelengian

Thank you! I`d kiss you if I knew I wasn`t going to get the living daylights slapped outta me. Indeed, I`ll write a disclaimer beforehand, now also including that you gave me permission to use similar/same names. And, I`ll do my best to use unique elements that I planned up. Believe me, I`ve got a few unique ideas for episodes that`d be pretty hard to emulate.

Crossfire · Frelengian

*after looking at the fanfics in the link*

Oh...my...gawd. You`re stories are freaking awesome! That first one beats the pants off what I have planned for my "Fear Itself" episode, and you did excellent with Pepe Lepew`s and Speedy Gonzales`s ancestors as well! 10/10! I can only hope my stories are as good as yours.

I acknowledge you as my superior in fictional writing. Your stories, especially the second one, are just incredible. If I didn`t know better, I`d think you worked for the Warner Bros. themselves! I loved your second story the most, it`s probably even better than the one I have planned. I`ll try hard to write good stories, but nothing I write will probably begin to compare with what you`ve got here.

Once more, 10/10 for an incredible, amazing, beautiful piece of work. Keep me updated on your stories, I`ve just gotta read more of your work in the future!

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Thank you so much for your extremely flattering comments Crossfire! I didn't think my stories were that exceptional, but comments like yours make all the time i put into my writing worthwhile! It certainly looks like you've got good inspirational foundations for your fanscript episodes (judging by the titles you've laid out). If you're really passionate about writing a good story, I'm sure you'll find that your finalised stories will turn out as great as you envisioned them! And from what i read over at TV.com a little while ago, your "Till Death Do Us Part" script, you do have the writing skills to back up your presentation of unique plot ideas! And you don't have to acknowledge me as your "superior in fictional writing". The only one you need to compare yourself to really is yourself. Strive to better and improve your works at every opportunity, and you'll reach high standards most of the time! I'll be interested to see what stories you put out in future!

And me working for Warner Bros.?! How nice that would be.... *dreams away*

Crossfire · Frelengian

To tell the honest truth, a lot of the titles are simply basic ideaqs of what the final thing will be. However, I am working hard on each of the stories (at least in my brain, currently) and rest assured they will all be written with the utmost care to detail and authenticity. A few general things I should mention about the direction of my season:

There will be some tragedies. Nothing unsuitable for the show`s target audience (at least not as far as I know)however.
There will be more development of relationships. I have a few OCs that the main characters know or will know, personally, and at least one of them (the main characters) is going to find a new crush (not gonna spoil it here, though)
There will be some slight jealousy on at least one of the character`s parts.
Several "descendants" of my personel design will be unveiled.

Just a few more tidbits for you guys. I feel a little guilty telling you all this, because you guys are really anticipating all this, and I have no idea when I`ll finish it, but I resolve to finish it all at least for you guys. And rest assured, I`ll try not to disappoint Just know that it`ll probably take time.

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Sounds good! Take all the time you need to write your stories, coz a good story comes not from a rushed job! I've spent the last few weeks trying to think up good plot lines for my stories, and to this day i'm still tweaking with my ideas, trying to fill in gaps in my story planning, changing certain events for something i think may work better etc. It's a good work-out for your creativity!

Okay, I`ve made a big change to "Fear Iyself". I`m now delving into much deeper, more psychological fears of the Loonatics. Since I`m no longer going with the original plot, I might as well tell you what it would have been.

Basically, a villain named Dr. Phobius (good thing I`m ditching this plotline, because that name`s a little lame) would subject the `Tics to a vision of their worse fears, which wouldve been:

Lexi - spiders
Tech - snakes (?)
Rev - ghosts
Slam - tornadoes (for irony)
Duck - the dark (for comedy)

Ace, going by the "nothing to fear but fear itself" creed, would instead end up fighting a combination of his team`s fears; a giant, ghostly spider-snake monster with a tornado for a lower body in the dark. He`d end up convincing his friends to fight and overcome their fears, both to defeat Phobius and save his life.

Yeah, well, anyway, I`m now going with much more deeper, more meaningful fears a few of which actually foreshadow possible future events throughout the season(s). You, Black Oracle, mostly inspired that angle. After reading your fanfiction about the Loonatics` worst fears, I`d discovered one of the great things about the episode is that the fears covered go much deeper than just normal phobias.

WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD! JUST SKIP PAST THIS PART IF YOU WISH TO AVOID SPOILERS!

Er, in case anyone still has to read it, I`m giving a spoiler warning right here to make sure nothing about the story gets, well, spoiled. Read past this part if you wish to discover the fears for yourself. This is your last warning...

-

Ace`s worst fear is failing his team, causing their deaths. Duck is afraid of being ridiculed, Lexi`s afraid of becoming hideous and deformed, Rev`s afraid of getting trapped with nowhere to run, Slam`s claustrophobic, and Tech is afraid of his inventions turning against him and his team.

-

END SPOILERS

Sorry, had to make sure the spoiler beginning and ending were obvious.

Anyway, those are certainly more psychological than spiders, snakes or even ghosts. So, I`m going to go even deeper, to the darkest fears and worst nightmares the Loonatics could ever know...all courtesy of a literal nightmare of a villain.

Akira_Cat · Your local cat

Interesting idea. That would be really good if they made an episode about that.

Cali-Bunny · Good to be back?

Crossfire, your fears for each of the Loonatics sounds exactly like the ones in the story Black_Oracle submitted to me.

Crossfire · Frelengian

Uh, I was talking about Black Oracle`s story, Cal. That`s why they sound just like her fears, because it is her fears. I have my own deep nightmares planned for the `Tics, plus I`d never give out spoilers to any of my stories prior to their release. I was just giving a spoiler warning to Black Oracle`s story so as not to ruin it for anyone who still has to read it. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh, and congrats for getting the first fanscript in, Black Oracle! Hope I`ll be able to join you in that section soon.

-- Edited by Crossfire at 00:37, 2006-09-17

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Thanks Crossfire! Hope to see your stories joining mine in the new fanscript section soon too! We'll be setting a new standard in LU fan writings! And you're doing a very good job of advertising my stories so far Crossfire! I should be thanking you! Hmm, "Dr Phobius" isn't that lame a name actually in my opinion. But it'll be interesting to see what your new nightmares for the Loonatics are Crossfire.

Currently i'm writing ep 4 of my fan season. Hopefully i'll be finishing it very soon! It's a Duck and Marvin story that links in with the Duck Dodgers series!

Also, thanks once again Cali for putting up my 1st story and for your brill job of script-formating it!

Crossfire · Frelengian

Actually, I myself have plans for the little Martian`s not-so-little representative in my stories. But it`s nothing like what you have planned, Black Oracle. Mine...is a little more "original" shall I say. And by that, I don`t mean it`s more creative than yours either...*being coy*

UPDATE: Now that I know WB already has a Marvin villain planned, I probably won`t be continuing on this angle...or perhaps I will, the villain just won`t be a descendant of Marvin, precisely. The story`s not part of my main season, just so you know. I`ve got another, more important role for this story...

-- Edited by Crossfire at 13:21, 2006-09-24

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

I actually decided to stick with using Marvin himself in my story. I was going to use a son i created for him but then it wouldn't have worked as well i thought.

Crossfire · Frelengian

Well, I certainly won`t get any of my fan episodes posted before the arrival of the 2nd season of the show. I should`ve started this project back during the early summer months, as then I might`ve gotten most of my stories submitted to this site (when it came out).

Oh well, I might be able to inegrate the official second season together with my unofficial first one. (For example, I`ll probably have to involve that Guardian Strike Blade at least in my latter episodes) I might be able to place at least some of my fan episodes before some of the official second season (such as my lighter-hearted episodes like "A Fresh Start" and "Eye Of The Storm").

Hopefully, I`ll complete my fan season before too many of the official episodes air, thus minimizsing intentional conflicting information between my stories and the official ones. (I try to keep my stories as closely related to the official canon as possible; I`m not a big fan of making "alternate timelines" :P)

Crossfire · Frelengian

After giving it some thought, there`s a chance I`m going to change my fanscript list and remove some of the fanscripts and replace them with others. If I do cancel any storylines, I`ll be sure to tell you all what they would have been here. Right now, it`s about 11:20, so if I`m making any changes it`ll be in the morning.

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Wow crossfire!

Get those ideas written, they look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh and something I forgot to add on my review: were you randomly writing words that sounded chinese, or were you writing words with an idea of what they sound like but don't know how to write them, or were you writing something other than Mandrian? Cuz I had trouble understanding some parts.

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

Till Death Do Us Part looks interesting but, I wanna see what happens in Love Stinks. It'll be a classic, seeing Ace so jealous.
