Senior Writers chat 3 –- Web Series finale -- 01/09/2011 Jan 9 2011, 6:49 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Back. Jan 9 2011, 6:50 PM RedStar102: front Jan 9 2011, 6:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Ten-hut! Jan 9 2011, 6:50 PM RedStar102: touch down Jan 9 2011, 6:53 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Aha, two lurkers now. Jan 9 2011, 6:53 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Now one. Jan 9 2011, 6:53 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Seems whenever we acknowledge them, they flee. Jan 9 2011, 6:56 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Welcome, Max. Jan 9 2011, 6:56 PM RedStar102: Heya Max Jan 9 2011, 6:56 PM maxpwr (guest): good evening Jan 9 2011, 6:56 PM Kooshmeister (guest): How're you? Jan 9 2011, 6:57 PM maxpwr (guest): Not too shabby. How's everybody doing Jan 9 2011, 6:58 PM maxpwr (guest): Guess tomorrow I'll have to searching for another fan fic site for some other childhood fave haha Jan 9 2011, 6:58 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Pretty good. Munching a burger. Jan 9 2011, 6:58 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Aw, don't fret. Jan 9 2011, 6:58 PM Kooshmeister (guest): We can band together and work on a Web Series Wiki or something. Jan 9 2011, 6:59 PM WatsonSword (guest): I didn't sleep too well last night. I'm just waiting for Rygar to show up. Jan 9 2011, 7:00 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Granted that isn't continueing the story at all, but, eh, maybe I just enjoy cataloguing stuff too much. Jan 9 2011, 7:00 PM WatsonSword (guest): DJ's also *supposed* to show, but that's been iffy from the beginning. Jan 9 2011, 7:00 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yes where is our Fearless Leader. Jan 9 2011, 7:01 PM Rygar: Man, it's a party! Jan 9 2011, 7:01 PM Kooshmeister (guest): There he is. Jan 9 2011, 7:01 PM Kooshmeister (guest): The man of the hour. Jan 9 2011, 7:02 PM WatsonSword (guest): Here I thought you were going to be really late or something. Jan 9 2011, 7:02 PM Rygar: Couldn't have done it without all the rest of you. Jan 9 2011, 7:02 PM Rygar: Just got in from work. Jan 9 2011, 7:02 PM WatsonSword (guest): Ah. Jan 9 2011, 7:02 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well I mostly just was a "backup" writer providing little bits and pieces. Small scenes and extensions/additions of existing ones. Jan 9 2011, 7:02 PM Kooshmeister (guest): My contribution has been kind of smallish. Jan 9 2011, 7:03 PM Rygar: Koosh, you wrote some solid scripts and had great ideas. I was proud to have you on the team. Jan 9 2011, 7:03 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Thanks. Jan 9 2011, 7:03 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Here's one more, albeit a retcon of sorts. Jan 9 2011, 7:03 PM RedStar102: Can't believe its ending, I've been reading them since I found the site after teh second season had been finished Jan 9 2011, 7:04 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I had this random idea of saying Drollard (the real name of the fake Bucky) is Seymour.... making him the toad in that video Toadborg made Felicia watch for the Arnold Wartneggar thing. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:04 PM WatsonSword (guest): Aside from the scripts I wrote--and Rygar can attest to the fact that my middle name is 'Typo'--I mostly scanned through all the scripts and got rid of every unnecessary use of the verb 'to be'. Jan 9 2011, 7:04 PM Kooshmeister (guest): So, Seymour Drollard. Jan 9 2011, 7:04 PM WatsonSword (guest): Huh? Jan 9 2011, 7:05 PM Rygar: Koosh, when's your birthday? Maybe I can change that in a few years Jan 9 2011, 7:05 PM RedStar102: its a shame Felicity got killed off, I saw potential for a Willy and Felicity romance Jan 9 2011, 7:05 PM WatsonSword (guest): You mean Felicia? Jan 9 2011, 7:05 PM Kooshmeister (guest): It can be added to his character bio, if he merits one. Jan 9 2011, 7:05 PM RedStar102: oops Felicia even lol Jan 9 2011, 7:05 PM Rygar: I've gone back once or twice and edited the old scripts to accommodate stuff that had happened since. Jan 9 2011, 7:05 PM Rygar: I felt it was best not to go too far into the concept of a Willy/Felicia romance, for what I hope are obvious reasons. Jan 9 2011, 7:05 PM Rygar: On top of that, DJ was extremely against it. Jan 9 2011, 7:06 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well, "Drollard" was only name dropped once anyway. Jan 9 2011, 7:07 PM WatsonSword (guest): Although I planned from the very beginning that she'd die after suddenly changing sides, and use the bomb from Loss-of- Faith to kill Sarradel. Jan 9 2011, 7:07 PM RedStar102: I wondered if Felicia/wily romance was kinda hinted upon in the second season episode Lost Generations Jan 9 2011, 7:07 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I didn't see much of a problem with it... Jan 9 2011, 7:07 PM WatsonSword (guest): The only problem I had to work out was how. Jan 9 2011, 7:07 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But I guess human/Aniversian is squicky to some. Jan 9 2011, 7:07 PM WatsonSword (guest): That's actually where I came up with the idea myself. Jan 9 2011, 7:07 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Jan 9 2011, 7:07 PM Rygar: There was a different sort of romance hinted at Willy with Lost Generations ... Jan 9 2011, 7:08 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh, right. Jan 9 2011, 7:08 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Gay Jan 9 2011, 7:08 PM RedStar102: LMAO!! Jan 9 2011, 7:08 PM maxpwr (guest): I got a laugh out of that one Jan 9 2011, 7:08 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yeah, although now the series has an official gay couple anyway. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:08 PM Rygar: Wanted to keep it a little subtext-y, but I don't think it's a surprise to anyone who read the script. Jan 9 2011, 7:08 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Nope Jan 9 2011, 7:08 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): it was pretty obvious Jan 9 2011, 7:09 PM WatsonSword (guest): OK, not Lost Generations, but there was some point in either the webseries before Season 5 or the show itself that hinted that Felicia might've had a thing for Willy. Jan 9 2011, 7:09 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Artificers of Aldebaran Jan 9 2011, 7:09 PM RedStar102: okay now that the Buckly O'Hare Web Serioes is concluded perhaps you could all start doing a Sonic the Hedgehog SATAM Web Series Jan 9 2011, 7:09 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I was less subtle. Well, eventually. In Polidori Experiment I never stated it outright. Not until the gay bar scene in Mammal's Clothing did it become blatant. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:09 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Or was that in In Death? Jan 9 2011, 7:09 PM Rygar: I honestly can't recall whether we played up the Felicia/Willy thing before Season Five. Jan 9 2011, 7:10 PM Rygar: Koosh -- I don't remember Jan 9 2011, 7:10 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I remember the bar scene was written FOR Mammal's Clothing but we moved it I think. Jan 9 2011, 7:10 PM Rygar: RedStar -- the first fanfic I ever wrote was Sonic SatAM fanfic. Jan 9 2011, 7:10 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah you did Jan 9 2011, 7:10 PM Rygar: I had a bunch planned but never wrote them. Jan 9 2011, 7:10 PM DJClawson (guest): Hi everybody Jan 9 2011, 7:11 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I plan to eventually do a fanfic going into more detail about the species-reassignment program and what its participants experienced. Jan 9 2011, 7:11 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Hi, DJ. Jan 9 2011, 7:11 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): hello DJ Jan 9 2011, 7:11 PM DJClawson (guest): I bet I have a password. I have no idea what it is, though Jan 9 2011, 7:11 PM RedStar102: Heya DJ oh god of Bucky O'Hare universe Jan 9 2011, 7:11 PM DJClawson (guest): I am a legend in some places, Jan 9 2011, 7:12 PM DJClawson (guest): but more of a retiree than anything else Jan 9 2011, 7:12 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I still remember stumbling across this site through the SWAT Kats fandom of all places. Jan 9 2011, 7:12 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Jan 9 2011, 7:12 PM WatsonSword (guest): Not really. I actually sort of contradicted her Aniverse creation myth in Day of Reckoning 2, and she didn't object to it, or even mention it! Jan 9 2011, 7:12 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh, the good old days. Jan 9 2011, 7:12 PM DJClawson (guest): Yeah, you can find like, my whole psychology from 8th grade on if you search the name DJ Clawson Jan 9 2011, 7:12 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Speaking of contradictions... Jan 9 2011, 7:12 PM Rygar: Hey DJ, thanks for joining us. Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM Rygar: DJ -- luckily, your old GeoCities site got taken down. Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM DJClawson (guest): Hey Watson, guess what? I contradicted my own myth like 8 times Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM DJClawson (guest): Man, that thing got rewritten a lot Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM DJClawson (guest): The SWAT Kat stuff was moved by the current archivists Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM WatsonSword (guest): LOL (literally) Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM RedStar102: /me sobs as he knows its an end to an era Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM Kooshmeister (guest): In Stormbringers when Glutgrave shows the Air Marshall the completed Phase Two it's on the Toad Homeworld... but every other time, GLutgrave's facility is on Punk in a cave. Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM Rygar: I just left the myth alone as much as I could. None of it ever made sense to me. Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM RedStar102: damn poses don't work on here lol Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM DJClawson (guest): It made sense to me in 11th grade Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM Rygar: RedStar -- thanks for being there for so many years! The fans have been great. Jan 9 2011, 7:13 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Unless Glutgrave brought the cylinder to the Homeworld to personally show the Air Marshall. Jan 9 2011, 7:14 PM Rygar: Koosh -- it moved. We'll just go with that. Jan 9 2011, 7:14 PM Rygar: You were so insistent on running with Planet Punk Jan 9 2011, 7:14 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I couldn't let go of the idea of a hidden lab under a casino. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:14 PM DJClawson (guest): I just want to say that I'm really, really proud of all the senior writers for picking up season 5 Jan 9 2011, 7:14 PM RedStar102: Why does it have to end?! (sob) I mean you could pass the type writers over to a new batch of writers who could reboot teh series and bring in new villians (sob) Jan 9 2011, 7:15 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): BOH IN THE FUTURE! Jan 9 2011, 7:15 PM WatsonSword (guest): I had an idea about that myself, but I simply don't have the time. Jan 9 2011, 7:15 PM DJClawson (guest): after I completely abandoned it. I burned out pretty hard after I ran a BoH LARP in college Jan 9 2011, 7:15 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Bucky O'Hare: The Next Generation. Jan 9 2011, 7:15 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): In a Galaxy Far Far away Jan 9 2011, 7:15 PM Kooshmeister (guest): To boldly go where no hare has gone before... Jan 9 2011, 7:15 PM Rygar: RedStar -- I figured ending it on a high note was better than just dragging it out. It took me four years even to get Season Five together. Jan 9 2011, 7:16 PM maxpwr (guest): Bah, I'm just glad I found the site 6 months ago when I did. Better late Jan 9 2011, 7:16 PM maxpwr (guest): than after Jan 9 2011, 7:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Indeed. Jan 9 2011, 7:16 PM RedStar102: I propose we get out there to teh Cartoon networks and demand they bring teh Web Series to the Cartoon screens! Jan 9 2011, 7:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Even I felt I was late to the party. Jan 9 2011, 7:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But fortunately I got in on the ground floor of Season 5 at least. Jan 9 2011, 7:16 PM DJClawson (guest): Only after we've had a chance to rewrite it Jan 9 2011, 7:16 PM WatsonSword (guest): That might be a good idea, except for the whole part about both sides getting into serious legal problems over it. Jan 9 2011, 7:16 PM DJClawson (guest): Looking back, most of season 2 is just embarrassing. The stuff I wrote anyway Jan 9 2011, 7:17 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Who even owns the rights to the cartoon anyway? Jan 9 2011, 7:17 PM WatsonSword (guest): I'm not sure. Jan 9 2011, 7:17 PM DJClawson (guest): Michael Golden, I think Jan 9 2011, 7:17 PM DJClawson (guest): Neal Adams Jan 9 2011, 7:17 PM RedStar102: Season 2 was cool, yeah I think the episode with Wiolly dreaming he was a james bond type character was a bit corney Jan 9 2011, 7:17 PM DJClawson (guest): It's probably Neal Adams. Jan 9 2011, 7:17 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Whenever I write a fanfic or so fanart I always say Copyright Sunbow Entertainment since that's what was on the scripts. *Shrugs* Jan 9 2011, 7:17 PM Rygar: Yeah, Neal Adams owns the BOH property. I imagine he'd have rights if a new cartoon show popped up. Jan 9 2011, 7:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Ah. Jan 9 2011, 7:18 PM DJClawson (guest): Man, I thought I was so clever when I was 17 years old. Jan 9 2011, 7:18 PM RedStar102: send your scripts to Neal Adams, he might buy them off you lol Jan 9 2011, 7:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh, we all did. Jan 9 2011, 7:18 PM Rygar: I almost got to interview him in person about BOH last year, but his agent stopped returning my e-mails a month before I would have been able to meet him. Oh well. Jan 9 2011, 7:18 PM maxpwr (guest): curses Jan 9 2011, 7:18 PM DJClawson (guest): I talked to him over the phone a couple of times. Jan 9 2011, 7:18 PM Rygar: I figure if Neal Adams doesn't care about us, then it's not much of a good sign. Jan 9 2011, 7:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): They'd probably bowlderize the heck out of it. Jan 9 2011, 7:18 PM WatsonSword (guest): bowlderize? Jan 9 2011, 7:19 PM DJClawson (guest): Honestly, no offense to any other writers, but I would redo it from scratch. Reuse a lot of stuff, but have it planned out from the beginning Jan 9 2011, 7:19 PM Rygar: I believe the folks at Continuity Studios want to emphasize the "no death" concept in BOH, which is at odds with the Web Series. Jan 9 2011, 7:19 PM Rygar: Bowdlerize, he meant. Jan 9 2011, 7:19 PM WatsonSword (guest): I still don't know what that means. Jan 9 2011, 7:19 PM DJClawson (guest): We didn't start killing people off for awhile though Jan 9 2011, 7:19 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Named for Thomas Bowlder who republished Shakespeare's stuff with all the "bad" stuff edited out. Jan 9 2011, 7:19 PM DJClawson (guest): I instituted that policy very early on. Jan 9 2011, 7:19 PM Rygar: Yeah, DJ, if you could start all over, how would you have done it differently? Jan 9 2011, 7:19 PM DJClawson (guest): I think this was before Rygar's time Jan 9 2011, 7:20 PM Rygar: I joined a few scripts into Season Three. Jan 9 2011, 7:20 PM RedStar102: I do get teh feeling you guys saved killing off the worst character off to last lol Bruiser Jan 9 2011, 7:20 PM DJClawson (guest): Every once in a while a writer would float a script that involved killing off a character, and I would say, "No, they're more interesting alive." Jan 9 2011, 7:20 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I just hope my contributions would remain in the rewritten version... I'm pretty proud of something I wrote/thought up being accepted into a larger continuity. Jan 9 2011, 7:20 PM DJClawson (guest): Not killing anyone off was the spoken/unspoken rule for seasons 2/3 Jan 9 2011, 7:21 PM WatsonSword (guest): The opposite was true of Season 5 simply because it would be the last. Jan 9 2011, 7:21 PM DJClawson (guest): Yeah, by season 4 it became acceptable to kill people, though initially I was against killing Dogstar, out of habit more than anything else Jan 9 2011, 7:21 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But a rewritten version could, say, introduce Renfield sooner and better establish him. Same with Strackwitts who I sort of set up as the only toad officer Toadborg trusts at all. Jan 9 2011, 7:21 PM Rygar: Killing Dogstar was tough. Until a few months before the script ran, I planned just to have him get really wounded. Jan 9 2011, 7:22 PM Rygar: But I ultimately felt the story would be stronger if he died. Jan 9 2011, 7:22 PM maxpwr (guest): You guys did a good job that episode. Really got me when he died. Wanted to punch my computer when I read that Jan 9 2011, 7:22 PM RedStar102: Dogstar death was the death that surprised me since I though Bruiser would be teh one to first get killed since he was a disliked character Jan 9 2011, 7:22 PM DJClawson (guest): Rewritten, I would just set down what arcs we wanted to do with characters and set them up from the beginning. Jan 9 2011, 7:22 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I loved killing off characters willy nilly, myself. Jan 9 2011, 7:22 PM WatsonSword (guest): Actually *I* felt the story would be stronger if he died. I had to goad Rygar into killing him. Jan 9 2011, 7:22 PM Rygar: Yeah, I wish I had more of a "Web Series" bible. Sometimes, we were really winging it or trying to remember what had happened before. Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Although I showed some restraint in Mammal's Clothing Part 1; I let almost all the toad scientists get away. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM Madcat2K: yo, im back Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM RedStar102: You killed of the characters willy nilly?! I know Willy is still alive but who's nilly? Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM DJClawson (guest): The way I've always felt was, if you're killing a character for emotional impact, that can be cheap, especially if the character is still usuable Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM Rygar: I wish I'd, I dunno, kept a list of what sector each planet was in. Continuity-wise stuff like that. Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Willy nilly means carelessly or recklessly. Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM RedStar102: i know, I'm joking Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Heh. Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM RedStar102: lol Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM DJClawson (guest): I would much rather have usuable characters around than have them killed up. Jan 9 2011, 7:23 PM DJClawson (guest): killed off Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM DJClawson (guest): And I also set down that we couldn't mess with the main Righteous crew, which is why Bruiser's death was saved until the end Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well I tended to fix the problem by introducing characters whose sole purpose was to die. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM Rygar: The only big people we killed were Dogstar, Rumblebee, and Bruiser. Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM DJClawson (guest): because seriously, I was talking about killing him off in season 3 Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM Rygar: Man, we talked about killing Bruiser for *years*. Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM Rygar: Yep. Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM Rygar: He was so hard to work with. Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM DJClawson (guest): Frankly I don't remember when we weren't openly discussing killing Bruiser Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM RedStar102: Rumblebee? Remind me when was he killed off? Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Bruiser Must Die Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM Rygar: "I punch stuff and I miss my brother." OK. Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM Madcat2K: lol Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Always did love tossing in minor characters with names to give the aniverse a larger feel to it. Jan 9 2011, 7:24 PM WatsonSword (guest): Finale of Season 4 Jan 9 2011, 7:25 PM Rygar: He was not rebuilt after being destroyed at the end of Season Four. Jan 9 2011, 7:25 PM maxpwr (guest): lol poor monkey. always liked him for some reason Jan 9 2011, 7:25 PM DJClawson (guest): Bruiser was a good visual character for a cartoon show Jan 9 2011, 7:25 PM DJClawson (guest): but he was terrible in a script Jan 9 2011, 7:25 PM Madcat2K: indeed Jan 9 2011, 7:25 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): The accent Jan 9 2011, 7:25 PM Kooshmeister (guest): As far as a series bible is concerned, I, earlier, suggested a Web Series Wiki to catalogue characters and planets and tidbits that can't all be squeezed onto the site. Jan 9 2011, 7:25 PM Rygar: I did what I could -- have him get into explosives, team him up with Bruce -- but he was fairly one-note. Jan 9 2011, 7:25 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): dis banana blah blah Jan 9 2011, 7:25 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): ayoogah Jan 9 2011, 7:26 PM DJClawson (guest): Deadeye's accent was also pretty bad. I had it down at one point but I still didn't give him a ton of dialogue Jan 9 2011, 7:26 PM Rygar: I think Fero's "Poisoned" was the best use of Bruiser we ever had. Jan 9 2011, 7:26 PM WatsonSword (guest): I have to agree with that one. Jan 9 2011, 7:26 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Deadeye began sounding Texan then inexplicably switched to "generic pirate" in the first episode. Jan 9 2011, 7:26 PM DJClawson (guest): I want to see the Wiki where someone tries to make sense of my creation myth Jan 9 2011, 7:26 PM RedStar102: I've not seen much of Deadeye this season Jan 9 2011, 7:26 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I developed an entire backstory for the Fara Foundation. That should go somewhere. Jan 9 2011, 7:27 PM DJClawson (guest): What you could do with him was basically covered in the show Jan 9 2011, 7:27 PM Kooshmeister (guest): What it is, what it does, its role and connection to the U.A.C., etc. Jan 9 2011, 7:27 PM DJClawson (guest): The most I used him was in that flashback script where he first met Bucky and Jenny Jan 9 2011, 7:28 PM DJClawson (guest): I am actually proud of that one Jan 9 2011, 7:28 PM Kooshmeister (guest): One off the wall idea I had for Fara was that they invented the teleporter the toads use in Search For Bruce, outright saying the toads stole it instead of inventing it themselves. Jan 9 2011, 7:28 PM Rygar: If Koosh, WS, or anyone else wants to write 'Web Series-universe fanfic' for the site's fanfic page, I am more than happy to post it there. Jan 9 2011, 7:29 PM Rygar: It just won't be official Web Series stuff. Jan 9 2011, 7:29 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well the Fara Foundation history thing is mostly just an outline; there's no real way to attach a story to it. Jan 9 2011, 7:29 PM WatsonSword (guest): I'll probably be doing a couple of those. Though the timeline of submission will be unpredictable. Jan 9 2011, 7:29 PM Madcat2K: yeah i hope there would be more Jan 9 2011, 7:29 PM Rygar: I may write up an epilogue at some point. No time soon, though. Jan 9 2011, 7:29 PM DJClawson (guest): It's a big universe/aniverse. There's a lot to play around with Jan 9 2011, 7:29 PM RedStar102: 30 mins to go before the end of an era Jan 9 2011, 7:29 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But as I said I did want to do a story following Zaysen and his entry into species-reassignment, and how he gets to Warren. Jan 9 2011, 7:30 PM Rygar: Almost too much. I never created a single "important" character, and I always tried to give nearly everyone at least a little cameo in each season. Jan 9 2011, 7:30 PM WatsonSword (guest): That's right! What ever happened to that idea of a epilogue episode anyway!? Jan 9 2011, 7:30 PM Rygar: Cameleous -- he was hard to work with, too. Thanks, DJ. Jan 9 2011, 7:30 PM Rygar: I am happy to do an epilogue script, maybe 6-9 months from now. We could all chip in a bit. Jan 9 2011, 7:30 PM Rygar: But I want to give it a bit of a rest first. Jan 9 2011, 7:30 PM RedStar102: perhaps an multi part epiliogue series each dedicated to each member of crew of teh Righteous Indignation Jan 9 2011, 7:30 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Creelevard came and went, poor guy. Jan 9 2011, 7:30 PM WatsonSword (guest): Sure. Jan 9 2011, 7:31 PM WatsonSword (guest): Actually, we never did see what happened to him in the end. Jan 9 2011, 7:31 PM Kooshmeister (guest): He asked for a ship and got one. Jan 9 2011, 7:31 PM Kooshmeister (guest): He might still be out there. Jan 9 2011, 7:31 PM Rygar: Probably. Jan 9 2011, 7:31 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): It blew up 3 seconds later Jan 9 2011, 7:31 PM Madcat2K: lol Jan 9 2011, 7:31 PM Rygar: Smata is actually dead, though. So OK, that's one more cartoon character we did kill. Jan 9 2011, 7:32 PM DJClawson (guest): I didn't have a huge emotional investment in Smata Jan 9 2011, 7:32 PM DJClawson (guest): No problem, Rygar Jan 9 2011, 7:32 PM Kooshmeister (guest): More random tidbits that were never worked in or discussed is I wanted Strackwitts and Creelevard to have an unspoken rivalry, with Strackwitts considering Creelevard a grandstander only interested in his own self-promotion. Jan 9 2011, 7:32 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I loved Smada. Jan 9 2011, 7:32 PM WatsonSword (guest): Speaking of which. The reason I killed so many characters in my Aldebaran finale-arc was because I also introduced so many characters, and I didn't want to the finale-arc to get overpopulated. Jan 9 2011, 7:32 PM DJClawson (guest): I mean, I didn't have a huge emotional investment in him living or dying. on the show he was AMAZING Jan 9 2011, 7:33 PM DJClawson (guest): That was one huge stoner joke on the writers' part Jan 9 2011, 7:33 PM RedStar102: What I found interesting in teh last season was teh Aldebaran stuff particulary Willy's magic origin being revealed Jan 9 2011, 7:33 PM Madcat2K: yeah that was unexpected Jan 9 2011, 7:33 PM DJClawson (guest): What was the finale call on that? Jan 9 2011, 7:33 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Aldebarans... Jan 9 2011, 7:33 PM DJClawson (guest): I only read it in progres Jan 9 2011, 7:34 PM Kooshmeister (guest): They all look like glam rockers. Jan 9 2011, 7:34 PM Madcat2K: lol Jan 9 2011, 7:34 PM Rygar: The final call on the finale? Well, it airs in 25 minutes ... Jan 9 2011, 7:34 PM DJClawson (guest): No, how Willy got his magic Jan 9 2011, 7:34 PM Kooshmeister (guest): My specialty has always been the political intrigue stuff. Jan 9 2011, 7:34 PM Rygar: How he got his magic in the first place, or got it back, or what? Jan 9 2011, 7:35 PM RedStar102: I don't suippose Willy will develope the magics the dragon and angel in this last part Jan 9 2011, 7:35 PM DJClawson (guest): whatever they were talking about a couple lines up Jan 9 2011, 7:35 PM Rygar: Oh, right. Jan 9 2011, 7:35 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Sorry, I was rambling. Jan 9 2011, 7:35 PM Rygar: Sorry, this chat is going fast, and every minute or so I have to copy it so it doesn't all go away and we'll have a log. Jan 9 2011, 7:35 PM Rygar: That stuff was all WS. Jan 9 2011, 7:35 PM WatsonSword (guest): Wait, I was copying! Jan 9 2011, 7:35 PM Rygar: I used it a bit in the finale but didn't really add to it. Jan 9 2011, 7:35 PM Rygar: WS -- let's both copy. Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM Rygar: Just in case something still gets lost. Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM DJClawson (guest): So, what was the original of Willy's magic? Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM Madcat2K: well apparently willy is half angel and half dragon in terms of creation Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM DJClawson (guest): Huh. OK. I'll roll with that Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM maxpwr (guest): thought it was the generator explosion in season 2 Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Are Mr. and Mrs. DuWitt aware of this? I smell a soap opera subplot... Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM WatsonSword (guest): Not in terms of creation, just in terms of the powers he has. Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM Rygar: I think what basically happened was that Willy got Aldebaran magic, but humans are special, so something strange happened. Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM Rygar: I mean, does magic really need rules? Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM Madcat2K: no Jan 9 2011, 7:36 PM Kooshmeister (guest): "David, honey, I saw someone while you were in New York... an angel and a dragon." Jan 9 2011, 7:37 PM DJClawson (guest): I gave Willy teleportation powers because I wanted to give him something that wasn't Aldeberan magic Jan 9 2011, 7:37 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): It's magic. I don't have to explain how it works! Jan 9 2011, 7:37 PM DJClawson (guest): Because he's not a cat. He's a human. Jan 9 2011, 7:37 PM WatsonSword (guest): I added the part about Angel powers because that's what the Regens use, and *they* can teleport. Jan 9 2011, 7:37 PM Rygar: And those teleportation powers came in handy. Jan 9 2011, 7:37 PM DJClawson (guest): Ah, I see where you got that Jan 9 2011, 7:38 PM Rygar: That makes sense. Jan 9 2011, 7:38 PM DJClawson (guest): So, anyone who's not a senior writer: You guys have no idea how many times over the years I was asked to clarify the whole angel plotline. Jan 9 2011, 7:38 PM DJClawson (guest): And how many times I tried to but failed Jan 9 2011, 7:38 PM Rygar: WS was really good at picking up little details and developing them farther. Jan 9 2011, 7:38 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I'm a senior writer and I didn't know, DJ. Jan 9 2011, 7:38 PM Rygar: I *still* don't understand it. Jan 9 2011, 7:38 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Jan 9 2011, 7:38 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But then I'm narrowminded and mostly focus on just my own parts/ Jan 9 2011, 7:38 PM DJClawson (guest): It's been rewritten too many times to make sense. Jan 9 2011, 7:38 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Like Polidori Experiment. Jan 9 2011, 7:39 PM WatsonSword (guest): That's actually what I'm best at, is finishing stories rather than conceiving them. Jan 9 2011, 7:39 PM DJClawson (guest): You shouldn't develop an idea over 12 years. You should think it out before you use it. That's what the web series taught me Jan 9 2011, 7:39 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I said above before the log began the final draft of Polidori only slightly resembles the original '04 version I wrote. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:39 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Jan 9 2011, 7:39 PM Kooshmeister (guest): A weird case of telling the same story a completely different way. Jan 9 2011, 7:39 PM RedStar102: 20 minutes to go Jan 9 2011, 7:39 PM DJClawson (guest): I tried to clear things up in season 5 but really that was just an excuse for me to have an entire script of Kadaf smoking Jan 9 2011, 7:40 PM maxpwr (guest): eh, that one worked i thought Jan 9 2011, 7:40 PM Rygar: Yeah, I was hoping for more answers from that one, DJ, but it was still a fun script. Jan 9 2011, 7:40 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): The ending was good Jan 9 2011, 7:40 PM Rygar: And thanks again for contributing to the season. Jan 9 2011, 7:40 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): But not may answers Jan 9 2011, 7:40 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): many* Jan 9 2011, 7:40 PM Rygar: It was easier than getting something from Fero "vanished into thin air" McPiglet. Jan 9 2011, 7:41 PM DJClawson (guest): At some point it was too convoluted for me to answer it without saying, "OK, let's go back over some stuff I wrote and declare it wrong." You can't do that in an active plotline. Jan 9 2011, 7:41 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Good thing we never went with my proposal for a fourth episode penned by me... involving Cryer returning and getting a body swapping device and changing bodies with President Moreland to discredit Bucky. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:41 PM DJClawson (guest): So it became an amalgamation of stuff I had already said by accident Jan 9 2011, 7:41 PM Rygar: Koosh -- you never even mentioned that one to me. Good call Jan 9 2011, 7:41 PM Madcat2K: that would have been interesting koosh Jan 9 2011, 7:42 PM DJClawson (guest): Are we talking about stuff we never did? I had the idea for a soul quest for Willy Jan 9 2011, 7:42 PM WatsonSword (guest): That's why I explicitely detailed your original creation myth before saying that was all the result of a misunderstanding. Jan 9 2011, 7:42 PM DJClawson (guest): But by the time I thought about mentioning it he'd already had one Jan 9 2011, 7:42 PM DJClawson (guest): You did a good job at that Jan 9 2011, 7:42 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I wrote the first part, with Cryer's hired goons stealing the machine, but never continued because I couldn't think of a way for Cryer to get near Moreland to use it. I thought, Warren Jan 9 2011, 7:42 PM Rygar: I always wanted to do a full episode of Bucky/Sonic crossover, but it never happened. Jan 9 2011, 7:42 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): oh dear Jan 9 2011, 7:42 PM DJClawson (guest): I feel like something I would have shot down Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM Kooshmeister (guest): 's president has security and Cryer is a known traitor; how could he do it? Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Darn enter key. Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM Rygar: Yeah, you did. Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM DJClawson (guest): Why? I don't remember the reason. Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM Kooshmeister (guest): So I just gave up and decided it was too gimmicky. Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM Rygar: You didn't like crossovers, as I recall. Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM WatsonSword (guest): I despise crossovers. Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM DJClawson (guest): Crossover Convention didn't go over incredibly well Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): He didn't want Sonic/Bucky fanart Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM DJClawson (guest): or, that was my impression. So I said, "Well, we got that out of our system." Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM WatsonSword (guest): I consider them 'surrogate creativity'. Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM Rygar: True, but I sure enjoyed it personally. Jan 9 2011, 7:43 PM Kooshmeister (guest): WHo added the SWAT Kats epilogue to Polidori? Jan 9 2011, 7:44 PM DJClawson (guest): Believe or not, not me Jan 9 2011, 7:44 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Jan 9 2011, 7:44 PM Rygar: Was that one of the Cyberstorm setup scenes? Jan 9 2011, 7:44 PM Kooshmeister (guest): That kind of bugged me, I admit. Jan 9 2011, 7:44 PM DJClawson (guest): Yeah, we all did stuff we really wanted to write Jan 9 2011, 7:44 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh indeed. Jan 9 2011, 7:44 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): ... Jan 9 2011, 7:44 PM DJClawson (guest): "Screw it, I wrote 30 damn scripts, I'll do whatever the hell I want with this character." Jan 9 2011, 7:44 PM Rygar: We had established the SwatKATS as in the aniverse with Senator Nuras. Jan 9 2011, 7:44 PM Rygar: And I guess we just ran with it a bit more. Jan 9 2011, 7:45 PM DJClawson (guest): I don't think we actually ever said Jonathan Weissman was Underdog, but we did come close Jan 9 2011, 7:45 PM WatsonSword (guest): I still like to think of that merely as an ode. Jan 9 2011, 7:45 PM Madcat2K: lol Jan 9 2011, 7:45 PM Rygar: You edited out a part where I gave him a little Shoeshine Boy reference. Jan 9 2011, 7:45 PM maxpwr (guest): oh cripes now i get it lol Jan 9 2011, 7:45 PM DJClawson (guest): Yes, I remember that. Jan 9 2011, 7:45 PM Rygar: I showed him eating his power pill at one point. Jan 9 2011, 7:46 PM Kooshmeister (guest): XD Jan 9 2011, 7:46 PM Rygar: And I think I tried to work in a Polly reference that never happened. Jan 9 2011, 7:46 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I'm glad my Indiana Jones gag stayed. Jan 9 2011, 7:46 PM DJClawson (guest): Yeah that was a character I was roleplaying at the time that I started writing the web series, and I never really found much for him to do in the web series Jan 9 2011, 7:46 PM Kooshmeister (guest): "Indiana who and the Temple of WHAT?" Jan 9 2011, 7:46 PM Rygar: Hey, Mimi needed a crew. Jan 9 2011, 7:46 PM DJClawson (guest): When you start painting, you work with the canvas you have. Jan 9 2011, 7:46 PM WatsonSword (guest): Although that got edited to "Who Jones and the What?" Jan 9 2011, 7:47 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yeah. Jan 9 2011, 7:47 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Bucky wouldn't know what "Indiana" was. Jan 9 2011, 7:47 PM Rygar: Now, as for the biggest mistake I made this season ... Jan 9 2011, 7:47 PM DJClawson (guest): Remember when we found out that Harry was really Larry? Classic Jan 9 2011, 7:47 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I was INSISTENT we go back and change it all. Jan 9 2011, 7:47 PM Rygar: Having the Fake Bucky ask Dogstar's guard to open the door for him. Jan 9 2011, 7:47 PM Kooshmeister (guest): XD Jan 9 2011, 7:47 PM DJClawson (guest): The subtitles to the cartoon show misled me Jan 9 2011, 7:47 PM DJClawson (guest): And they were all I had to work with Jan 9 2011, 7:47 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But it clearly had an "L" sound. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM Rygar: Fake Bucky had the password from Renfield. It just slipped my mind, and I wrote him as a bit of a jerk, so he told the guy to open the door for him. Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM Rygar: It was too obvious, in retrospect. Too much of a red flag. Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM DJClawson (guest): But it had an H spelling. So I went with it. That's how Mimi's last name got its spelling Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yeah. Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM Rygar: One of the questions in the Season Five survey is "should the writers go back and fix the discrepancies"? Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM Rygar: We'll see what the response is to that. Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM DJClawson (guest): No. We shouldn't. Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I believe so, yes. Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM RedStar102: Hmm I thought the idea of Willy being 007 in the episode Shaken not stirred was corney but the idea of Bucky is Indiana Jones would be even cornier Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Like what "Wolf's" actual name is. Jan 9 2011, 7:48 PM Rygar: Unless it's like 90% or more "yes," I doubt I will bother. Jan 9 2011, 7:49 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Although to be fair, that was only in an unmade sequel. Jan 9 2011, 7:49 PM DJClawson (guest): I spent too much of my time editing my novels, which is not only way harder but also a horrifying process that drains the life and soul out of my writing Jan 9 2011, 7:49 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Or whatever Counterattack was. Jan 9 2011, 7:49 PM Kooshmeister (guest): On the Multiversal Omnipedia I call him Calvin Lupus Smythe, however. Jan 9 2011, 7:49 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): ... Jan 9 2011, 7:49 PM DJClawson (guest): I have more of a "Well, I tried my best" attitude about the web series. Or my part in it Jan 9 2011, 7:49 PM Rygar: I am pretty sure Counter Attack was Neal Adams's company trying to pitch the BOH property to investors. Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And I identify Bucky's mentor as Damaron Jabok, too, as per Counterattack. Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM DJClawson (guest): They have failed to sell BoH Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM DJClawson (guest): so many times Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM Rygar: Koosh -- I didn't even notice that thing about The Mentor. Yeesh, what a name. Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): BoH really is kinda dated Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): It's mentioned in one of the proposed episode summaries. Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM Rygar: I would love to see BOH officially resurrected, but really, it's not going to happen. Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): It seems old Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM DJClawson (guest): I think it's sort of timeless Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM DJClawson (guest): The references to Willy on earth are dated, but could be easily updated Jan 9 2011, 7:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): It looks 80's, despite being 90's. Jan 9 2011, 7:51 PM Kooshmeister (guest): So it was dated even when it aired. Jan 9 2011, 7:51 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yeah Jan 9 2011, 7:51 PM maxpwr (guest): all childhood faves are timeless Jan 9 2011, 7:51 PM Madcat2K: aye Jan 9 2011, 7:51 PM DJClawson (guest): It's furry animals in space. There's not really a "date" to that Jan 9 2011, 7:51 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): They need a rewrite Jan 9 2011, 7:51 PM Rygar: You ended up setting Season One in what, DJ, 1998? Jan 9 2011, 7:51 PM RedStar102: 5 mins to go Jan 9 2011, 7:51 PM DJClawson (guest): I tried not to set it in any particular year, but I might have pinned myself down to like 1999 Jan 9 2011, 7:52 PM Rygar: The later seasons were set in the early 2000s. Jan 9 2011, 7:52 PM DJClawson (guest): just like JK Rowling pinned herself down in like HP book 2 Jan 9 2011, 7:52 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): hmm Jan 9 2011, 7:52 PM Kooshmeister (guest): If we'd had the scripts way back when, I guess Harry would be Larry... Jan 9 2011, 7:52 PM Rygar: Hence the references to Harry Potter and whatnot. Jan 9 2011, 7:52 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And the other two Creators would be Dr. Wartimer and Dr. Croakley. Jan 9 2011, 7:52 PM DJClawson (guest): She accidentally put a date in, and suddenly it became canon, and she was like, "Oh fuck" Jan 9 2011, 7:52 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Willy Potter Jan 9 2011, 7:52 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): and the green hare of space Jan 9 2011, 7:52 PM Kooshmeister (guest): XD Jan 9 2011, 7:53 PM Madcat2K: lol Jan 9 2011, 7:53 PM Kooshmeister (guest): The Computer Which Must Not Be Named. Jan 9 2011, 7:53 PM Rygar: Clearly we missed out on a gold mine. Jan 9 2011, 7:53 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Banana Eaters Jan 9 2011, 7:53 PM RedStar102: Willy: (Pointing a Wand at Toadborg) Avada Kadava Jan 9 2011, 7:53 PM DJClawson (guest): I was really, really into HP for a couple years in college, ran some LARPs, burned out Jan 9 2011, 7:53 PM WatsonSword (guest): Oh I think I made up for that with "Giant Enemy Crab" and "Will it Blend?" Jan 9 2011, 7:53 PM DJClawson (guest): have had almost nothing to do with it since Jan 9 2011, 7:53 PM Rygar: Do any of you have friends in real life who remember BOH? I sure don't. Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): nope Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM DJClawson (guest): Someone in my gaming group does Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM WatsonSword (guest): My brother vaguely remembers the show. Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM Madcat2K: only one Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I should've had giant crabs in Glutgrave's Punk lab instead of that acid pool. Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Feed the corpses to giant crabs. Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM DJClawson (guest): The first time I actually learned of the show was through a commercial for their toys Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM Rygar: Whenever someone asks me what I'm writing, my response is some variation on "uh ... stuff." Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM Madcat2K: and he has like somekind of shrine Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM DJClawson (guest): And I had to go look up when it was on. Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM Rygar: I watched the show as a kid at like 7 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Horrible time slot. Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And when Bucky knocks that scientist in he doesn't dissolve he gets eaten by giant enemy crabs. Jan 9 2011, 7:54 PM DJClawson (guest): "Well they have really cool toys so it must be a cool show." Jan 9 2011, 7:55 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): The show was pretty good, but very easy to make fun of Jan 9 2011, 7:55 PM DJClawson (guest): I always tell people what I'm writing. Usually a good conversation stopper Jan 9 2011, 7:55 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Speaking of stuff never done, originally, the acid was gonna overflow and start absorbing and melting everything including lots of Stormtoads rushing in as reinforcements. It was really chaotic. Jan 9 2011, 7:55 PM DJClawson (guest): "So what are you working on?" "Metalocalypse fanfic." Jan 9 2011, 7:55 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I decided that the fire was enough. Jan 9 2011, 7:56 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Stormtoad soup? Jan 9 2011, 7:56 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): aww Jan 9 2011, 7:56 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well, one guy fell in, so it did get used to dissolve someone. Jan 9 2011, 7:56 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Should have someone get acid thrown on their face Jan 9 2011, 7:56 PM DJClawson (guest): We got a lot gorier as we went along Jan 9 2011, 7:57 PM DJClawson (guest): Also more sex, then we dialed it back Jan 9 2011, 7:57 PM Rygar: I was never sure exactly what level of gore was the right one. Jan 9 2011, 7:57 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Esp Aldebaran Jan 9 2011, 7:57 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I doubt they'd have beakers of acid in a lab designed for genetic and surgical alteration. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:57 PM Rygar: And how involved to show Bucky and Jenny. Jan 9 2011, 7:57 PM Kooshmeister (guest): The pool of acid was for disposing of failed test subjects. Jan 9 2011, 7:57 PM DJClawson (guest): That was easy. Bucky and Jenny had no idea what the status of their relationship was at any time Jan 9 2011, 7:57 PM DJClawson (guest): You just go with that. Jan 9 2011, 7:58 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Bucky and Jenny Jan 9 2011, 7:58 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): eh Jan 9 2011, 7:58 PM Rygar: Having them yell at each other was fun, though. Jan 9 2011, 7:58 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I always favored Bucky/Mimi more, myself, as I felt Bucky and Jenny never had any real chemistry on the show beyond superior and subordinate in a military. Jan 9 2011, 7:58 PM DJClawson (guest): Yes. Jan 9 2011, 7:58 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Never really cared for that couple Jan 9 2011, 7:58 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But that was how I read into it, anyway. Obviously others felt different. Jan 9 2011, 7:58 PM DJClawson (guest): THen Bucky and Mimi got together, and it was like, "Oh, I guess I was in a relationship with Jenny, because I think I just cheated onher." Jan 9 2011, 7:58 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Well the show only hinted at Jenny Bucky Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM Kooshmeister (guest): How? Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I never got any hints. Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM DJClawson (guest): Jenny kisses him in one episode Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Jenny's jealously at Mimi Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM DJClawson (guest): That's cartoon show for "they like each other" Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM Kooshmeister (guest): People just assume since they're opposite genders and together a lot they MUST be involved. XD Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM DJClawson (guest): Well, Mimi was pretty aggressively into Bucky. Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM DJClawson (guest): We didn't need to make that up for a web series. That was just there Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM Rygar: Bucky/Mimi was SO much fun to write. Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Jenny just seemed to consider Mimi too zealous in her amorous attention. Jan 9 2011, 7:59 PM Rygar: Really, anybody/Mimi is fun, because she is a great character. Jan 9 2011, 8:00 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Clearly, Jenny was a prude. Jan 9 2011, 8:00 PM DJClawson (guest): You knew it wasn't going to last, but man was it fun to watch Jan 9 2011, 8:00 PM Rygar: "Tactics" is still my favorite script I wrote. Jan 9 2011, 8:00 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Mimi spin off series Jan 9 2011, 8:00 PM DJClawson (guest): I didn't like Mimi at all in the beginning, then she became like my favorite character Jan 9 2011, 8:00 PM DJClawson (guest): Who does she end up with? Roedecker? Jan 9 2011, 8:00 PM Rygar: I wish I'd had more time to plan "Old Habits." I wanted to give Mimi a solo-ish adventure but had to write it in a hurry to fill a gap in the time slot. Jan 9 2011, 8:00 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Mine is Mammal's Clothing 1 & 2. Everything I worked to build up came to a head there, and I was even able to intermingle it with WS' black gem plot. Jan 9 2011, 8:00 PM DJClawson (guest): That was somehow her most stable relationship Jan 9 2011, 8:01 PM Rygar: She ends up not attached to anyone. Jan 9 2011, 8:01 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well, there's Jimmy the hare... Jan 9 2011, 8:01 PM Madcat2K: imagine if bucky was left alone with mimi in the cartoon show...it would have gotten ratings and probably a bitchfest from every mom in the country towards the cartoon Jan 9 2011, 8:01 PM Kooshmeister (guest): He has nobody. XD Jan 9 2011, 8:01 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Incidentally I never did explain what he was doing at Renfield's office. It wasn't to give him his blood since that was BEFORE the blood screening decree. Jan 9 2011, 8:02 PM DJClawson (guest): Mimi just ended up being a lot of fun to work with, because she was so volatile, but somehow more sane than everyone else Jan 9 2011, 8:02 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But the dialog in the abandoned subway ("Not the weirdest thing you paid me to do") was meant to imply... uh, something not family friendly. Jan 9 2011, 8:02 PM Rygar: It's up! Jan 9 2011, 8:02 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Jan 9 2011, 8:02 PM maxpwr (guest): huzzah! Jan 9 2011, 8:02 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yay! Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM WatsonSword (guest): So does that mean the chat's over? Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM WatsonSword (guest): OR not? Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Go, ye faithful, and read. Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM Rygar: Nope. Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): So what we leave chat to go read it? Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM Madcat2K: * leaves a dummie agreeing with everything* Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM DJClawson (guest): I'm still around Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well I'd like people to comment as they read. Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM Rygar: I am here until 9 p.m. (so one more hour). Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM Rygar: And you guys can all stay as long as you like. Jan 9 2011, 8:03 PM DJClawson (guest): you can continue to watch us second guess ourselves and not remember important stuff Jan 9 2011, 8:04 PM Madcat2K: im planning on returning with fic writing...my only concern is that they might get adult oriented themes... Jan 9 2011, 8:04 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Jan 9 2011, 8:04 PM Rygar: "Oh crap, we killed that character last episode and gave him lines this episode. Not again!" Jan 9 2011, 8:04 PM Rygar: Madcat -- if it's BOH-related, I will post it. Jan 9 2011, 8:04 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Btw Rygar I loved your scene with Renfield and Dawson. Without spoiling anything I just wanna say boy, did you get their characters spot on. Jan 9 2011, 8:04 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Jan 9 2011, 8:04 PM DJClawson (guest): "Wait, is this guy good or evil? I didn't read anyone else's scripts." Jan 9 2011, 8:04 PM Rygar: If a disclaimer is in order, then include it. Jan 9 2011, 8:04 PM Rygar: Thanks, Koosh. Jan 9 2011, 8:05 PM Madcat2K: understood Jan 9 2011, 8:05 PM WatsonSword (guest): You know, Rygar is definitely not going to like what I'm about to say, but since the series is over, I figured it's no longer important to keep it under wraps. Jan 9 2011, 8:05 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And thank you, as well, for being so supportive of a gay relationship in the series. Jan 9 2011, 8:05 PM Kooshmeister (guest): It meant a lot to me. Jan 9 2011, 8:05 PM DJClawson (guest): Hey, I called the first gay relationship in the web series Jan 9 2011, 8:05 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yes but mine had a gay bar. XD Jan 9 2011, 8:05 PM Rygar: But not the first openly gay one Jan 9 2011, 8:05 PM DJClawson (guest): But man, you could really run with that Aldeberan stuff Jan 9 2011, 8:05 PM DJClawson (guest): Yes, that's true Jan 9 2011, 8:06 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Heck, they were naked in bed together in one scene. XD Jan 9 2011, 8:06 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Less said the better. Jan 9 2011, 8:06 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Onward with this, the final adventure. Jan 9 2011, 8:07 PM Rygar: Yesterday, I was thinking, "Man, I should have written a finale script where the other side one." Jan 9 2011, 8:07 PM Rygar: Oh well. Jan 9 2011, 8:07 PM WatsonSword (guest): But, continuing my last post, we were at each others' throats almost half the time we were writing, fighting tooth & nail over what should or shouldn't be published. Jan 9 2011, 8:07 PM Rygar: one = won Jan 9 2011, 8:07 PM Rygar: D'oh. Jan 9 2011, 8:08 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well there's always going to be bickering. Jan 9 2011, 8:08 PM Rygar: WS -- considering that we all had different concepts of the aniverse and the Web Series, I think we did a good job putting a cohesive whole together. Jan 9 2011, 8:08 PM WatsonSword (guest): Although that fighting did cool down quite a bit toward the end. Jan 9 2011, 8:08 PM DJClawson (guest): I preferred not to bicker. I preferred to rule from on high Jan 9 2011, 8:08 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I am pleased with how we combined our two previously uninvolved plotlines, though, WS. Jan 9 2011, 8:08 PM Rygar: Everyone contributed. I admit I had to use the "I'm the boss" card a few times, which I hate doing, but you have to have one person guiding everything. Jan 9 2011, 8:09 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Or one computer program. Jan 9 2011, 8:09 PM DJClawson (guest): I played it whenever anyone tried to get it on with Willy who was not human Jan 9 2011, 8:09 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Oh, no, the horrible truth... Jan 9 2011, 8:09 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Rygar is Komplex! Jan 9 2011, 8:10 PM Madcat2K: lol Jan 9 2011, 8:10 PM maxpwr (guest): rofl Jan 9 2011, 8:10 PM Madcat2K: ok im reading brb n.n Jan 9 2011, 8:10 PM Rygar: BWHAHAHAHAHAHA NOW YOU KNOW THE TRUTH Jan 9 2011, 8:10 PM Rygar: ;p Jan 9 2011, 8:10 PM maxpwr (guest): can i have ship? Kooshmeister (guest): No. Creelvard took it. Jan 9 2011, 8:10 PM maxpwr (guest): bastard! Jan 9 2011, 8:11 PM WatsonSword (guest): You have something against furries DJ? Jan 9 2011, 8:11 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Wall to fall asskicking this episode. Jan 9 2011, 8:11 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Like explosions? Read this. Jan 9 2011, 8:11 PM DJClawson (guest): No, I just kinda made a call and stuck with it Jan 9 2011, 8:12 PM Kooshmeister (guest): It isn't just an interspecies thing. It's an interdimensional thing. Jan 9 2011, 8:12 PM DJClawson (guest): Yeah, that Jan 9 2011, 8:12 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Technically speaking Willy shouldn't even exist in the Aniverse at all. Jan 9 2011, 8:12 PM Rygar: IMO, even though Willy thought of the crew as his friends, he was fully aware they were animals. Jan 9 2011, 8:12 PM WatsonSword (guest): Actually, as much as I hated your insistence initially, it now makes sense to me, but not for any reason you stated. Jan 9 2011, 8:13 PM WatsonSword (guest): But simply beacause Willy is probably 5'9" while Felicia is likely a little over three feet. Jan 9 2011, 8:13 PM Rygar: In that case, it all worked out. Jan 9 2011, 8:13 PM DJClawson (guest): yes! Also a good reason Jan 9 2011, 8:13 PM Rygar: That would be one of a few mechanical problems, I'm sure. Jan 9 2011, 8:13 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Hmm... in On the Blink, they could've escaped flying into the sun by going through Willy's door. Would've been trapped on Earth forever, but still. Random musing. Jan 9 2011, 8:13 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Stormtoad 26...named Tom Jan 9 2011, 8:14 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Also what would happen if the Righteous got destroyed while Willy was away and then he activated his door and introduced San Francisco to the vacuum of space? Jan 9 2011, 8:14 PM Rygar: I never wanted to explore the concept of the toads invading Earth, though I think that was where the original comic book was supposed to go. Jan 9 2011, 8:14 PM DJClawson (guest): Man, that comic was messed up Jan 9 2011, 8:14 PM WatsonSword (guest): Actually that's what Neal Adams wanted to do in *his* season 2. Jan 9 2011, 8:15 PM Kooshmeister (guest): That isn't what I meant, I was just musing on the random pitfalls of an interdimensional doorway aboard a space ship. Jan 9 2011, 8:15 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol interesting concept Jan 9 2011, 8:15 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Invading Earth Jan 9 2011, 8:15 PM WatsonSword (guest): BRB Jan 9 2011, 8:15 PM Kooshmeister (guest): So would Earth implode if Willy's door opened after the Righteous was destroyed and it opened into Aniversian space? Jan 9 2011, 8:15 PM Rygar: I would like to take a moment to thank Powree, who has contributed consistently amazing art to us for many years. Jan 9 2011, 8:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Ah yes, I love her stuff. Jan 9 2011, 8:16 PM Rygar: Koosh -- I imagine if the aniversian photon accelerator were destroyed, then no connection would be established. Jan 9 2011, 8:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): True. Jan 9 2011, 8:16 PM Rygar: So Willy's accelerator wouldn't do anything. Jan 9 2011, 8:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I hadn't though of that. Jan 9 2011, 8:16 PM WatsonSword (guest): Back! Jan 9 2011, 8:16 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But still it's darkly amusing to think of our universe imploding because of that. Jan 9 2011, 8:17 PM Rygar: Sounds like a short fanfic. Jan 9 2011, 8:17 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I'll get on it later. Jan 9 2011, 8:17 PM Rygar: The next time you have 5 minutes? Jan 9 2011, 8:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Also, the crew escaping into Willy's world and getting trapped during the events of On the Blink would veer too much into Howard the Duck territory I think. Jan 9 2011, 8:18 PM DJClawson (guest): I was tempted to do that a couple times Jan 9 2011, 8:18 PM WatsonSword (guest): Please don't mention the H word! I cringe whenever I hear it! Jan 9 2011, 8:18 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Bucky and co. could form a rock band and later stave off invasion by a bunch of a giant scorpion things. Jan 9 2011, 8:18 PM Rygar: Never did see that movie. I'm OK with this. Jan 9 2011, 8:19 PM WatsonSword (guest): Consider yourself lucky you didn't. Jan 9 2011, 8:19 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Jenny already has the hair for it. Jan 9 2011, 8:19 PM Kooshmeister (guest): It isn't that bad. Jan 9 2011, 8:19 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I loved the Dark Overlord. Jan 9 2011, 8:19 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Awesome monster. Jan 9 2011, 8:19 PM WatsonSword (guest): He looked like a sock puppet! Jan 9 2011, 8:19 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Howard or the Dark Overlord? Jan 9 2011, 8:19 PM WatsonSword (guest): The Dark Overlord. Jan 9 2011, 8:20 PM Kooshmeister (guest): 'Cause the Dark Overlord was a stop-motion puppet by Phil Tippet. Jan 9 2011, 8:20 PM Kooshmeister (guest): He also did the Imperial walkers in Star Wars, the dragon in Willow, etc. Jan 9 2011, 8:20 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But anyway... Jan 9 2011, 8:20 PM Rygar: I guess the fans are all reading the script. So that's good. Jan 9 2011, 8:21 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Seems that way. Jan 9 2011, 8:21 PM WatsonSword (guest): Yeah, but in Star Wars and Willow he had a bigger budget to work with, so they looked better. Jan 9 2011, 8:21 PM Kooshmeister (guest): True. Jan 9 2011, 8:22 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Although all three movies were done by Lucas. Jan 9 2011, 8:22 PM Rygar: So do any of you guys have other fanfic projects you'll continue to work on? Jan 9 2011, 8:22 PM Rygar: I am done. Jan 9 2011, 8:23 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I have some ideas. Jan 9 2011, 8:23 PM WatsonSword (guest): So we seem to be straying. Anyone whose not a writer have any more questions about the webseries? Jan 9 2011, 8:23 PM WatsonSword (guest): What, you mean strictly BoH fanfics or any fanfic? Jan 9 2011, 8:23 PM Rygar: I think they're all reading the script. Jan 9 2011, 8:23 PM DJClawson (guest): I'm always writing fanfic. The difference is whether it gets published or not Jan 9 2011, 8:23 PM Rygar: WS -- any. Jan 9 2011, 8:23 PM maxpwr (guest): "The Lost Adventures of Frix and Frax" come to mind Jan 9 2011, 8:23 PM DJClawson (guest): currently I am really involved in Metalocalypse fandom Jan 9 2011, 8:23 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I have one exploring what happens to Cryer after Battle Fronts and after he gets out of prison and goes to Sludge, and it doesn't involve body swapping. It does however have him marrying a female Sleazasaur. Jan 9 2011, 8:23 PM DJClawson (guest): while book 4 is being edited Jan 9 2011, 8:24 PM Rygar: With Frix and Frax getting stuck in a food cabinet? Jan 9 2011, 8:24 PM WatsonSword (guest): Oh, well I'm writing a Redwall fanfic right now called Hazard. Jan 9 2011, 8:24 PM maxpwr (guest): a classic Jan 9 2011, 8:24 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I always loved Frix and Frax's theme in the show. Jan 9 2011, 8:24 PM WatsonSword (guest): The great thing about that is it's one of the few franchises where you can regularly find fanfic better than the source material. Jan 9 2011, 8:24 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Redwall? Jan 9 2011, 8:24 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Ah yeah my boyfriend is huge into that fandom. Jan 9 2011, 8:25 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I find them tiresome. The books, anyway. The cartoon impressed me though. Jan 9 2011, 8:25 PM WatsonSword (guest): Hence my previous statement. Jan 9 2011, 8:26 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I had an idea involving non-evil rats visiting Redwall and helping the abbey dwellers fend off an evil weasel general and his army. Never did anything with it, though. Jan 9 2011, 8:26 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): pretty good episode so far Jan 9 2011, 8:26 PM Rygar: On a whole, guys, are you happy with how the Web Series turned out? Jan 9 2011, 8:26 PM Rygar: Thanks, Sonic! Jan 9 2011, 8:26 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yes I am. I achieved almost everything I set out to do. Jan 9 2011, 8:27 PM maxpwr (guest): yeppers Jan 9 2011, 8:27 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I got my hare traitor with a hate-on for Bucky, a toad-turned-mammal used as more than a plot device, bone-eating monsters, a secret lab under a casino, etc. Jan 9 2011, 8:27 PM DJClawson (guest): Yeah, I think it ended well. Jan 9 2011, 8:28 PM Rygar: I wish I'd had more time to work on it and more time to develop the underlying themes, but I am very pleased with how Season Five turned out. Jan 9 2011, 8:28 PM RedStar102: wow what a finale, great ending, it did teh series proud Jan 9 2011, 8:28 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Basically everything I originally proposed as random ideas when first selected as a guest author way back in Season 4, I managed to do. Jan 9 2011, 8:28 PM Rygar: I think I liked Season Four more, though. Not sure exactly why. Jan 9 2011, 8:28 PM Rygar: RedStar -- thank you! Glad you liked the ending. Jan 9 2011, 8:29 PM Rygar: Koosh -- I am still amused that we independently had "toads that look like hares" ideas. Jan 9 2011, 8:29 PM RedStar102: anyway, I have to head for bed, going to miss staying up till 1am waiting for the scripts to be posted Jan 9 2011, 8:29 PM WatsonSword (guest): To me, The Beginning seemed I don't know. Just a tad bit anticlimactic. But considering everything that came before, it couldn't be helped. Jan 9 2011, 8:29 PM WatsonSword (guest): It Jan 9 2011, 8:29 PM WatsonSword (guest): It's as good as it could've been. Jan 9 2011, 8:29 PM Rygar: It's 1 am where you are, RedStar? Jan 9 2011, 8:29 PM Rygar: Wow, that is dedication! Thank you! Jan 9 2011, 8:29 PM RedStar102: 1:33am now Jan 9 2011, 8:30 PM Rygar: Dang. Yeah, get some rest! Jan 9 2011, 8:30 PM Kooshmeister (guest): My only contribution was Strackwitts taking a double bubble in the face. Just let that be stated for the record. Jan 9 2011, 8:30 PM RedStar102: night all Jan 9 2011, 8:30 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Goodnight. Jan 9 2011, 8:31 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And yeah Rygar, it seemed to me at the time a novel idea and I'm glad and grateful you let me use it to explore what that sort of character would go through. Jan 9 2011, 8:31 PM Rygar: Glad we were able to sort things out. Jan 9 2011, 8:31 PM Rygar: WS -- the finale turned out less flashy than I'd pictured it in my mind. Jan 9 2011, 8:31 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Renfield handled it better psychologically than Drollard did, although to be fair, he'd been in place as a mammal longer. XD Jan 9 2011, 8:31 PM Rygar: Having the toads overrun the aniverse with Aldebaran magic was a fun idea, but I don't feel like I got the urgency and the threat down on paper quite right. Jan 9 2011, 8:32 PM Rygar: Hey, negima! Jan 9 2011, 8:32 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I also liked how you did an ending that involved "saving" the toads, as they were just as much victims as those they victimized. Without Komplex they never would've hurt anyone, arguably. Jan 9 2011, 8:32 PM Kooshmeister (guest): So as a longtime fan who always felt sorry for the poor brainwashed bastards it was nice seeing them freed. Jan 9 2011, 8:33 PM Rygar: What's left of the toads, anyway. I did have them get un- brainwashed while all being shot at Jan 9 2011, 8:33 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well there's still a lot of them. Jan 9 2011, 8:33 PM Rygar: Yes, plenty. Jan 9 2011, 8:33 PM Kooshmeister (guest): The question is, how accountable can they be held for everything they did? Jan 9 2011, 8:34 PM Rygar: That's a question for the aniversian ethicists. Jan 9 2011, 8:34 PM Kooshmeister (guest): True. Jan 9 2011, 8:34 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I just often explore the moral implications of things. Jan 9 2011, 8:34 PM Rygar: The Nurempad Trials? Jan 9 2011, 8:34 PM Rygar: I dunno. Jan 9 2011, 8:34 PM WatsonSword (guest): It must also be considered that most of them don't remember anything they did. And those who do remember it as if it were a dream. Jan 9 2011, 8:34 PM negima5 (guest): Hi I just found the webserise a few day ago and got to know whats going to happen to the website when the webserise is completed? Jan 9 2011, 8:35 PM Kooshmeister (guest): One could argue their entire planet being metal and their name forever to be synonymous with slavery and genocide could be punishment enough; their children's children's children will live under that shadow. Jan 9 2011, 8:35 PM WatsonSword (guest): The website will keep going for at least a year. There will be more artwork uploaded, the the Aniverse subsection will be completed and expanded. Jan 9 2011, 8:36 PM Rygar: Negima -- the website will stay up. Jan 9 2011, 8:36 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Hopefully some of mine. I did a lot of character references for the nothing minor characters. XD Jan 9 2011, 8:36 PM Rygar: There will still be updates to it, but not to the Web Series. Jan 9 2011, 8:36 PM Rygar: I have assignments for all the writers Jan 9 2011, 8:36 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And Rygar what did you think of my proposal for a Wiki? Jan 9 2011, 8:37 PM Rygar: Go for it, my friend. Jan 9 2011, 8:37 PM WatsonSword (guest): Even if it does go down at some point, it's final form will go into web.archive.org Jan 9 2011, 8:37 PM negima5 (guest): oh well that's good Jan 9 2011, 8:37 PM Kooshmeister (guest): It's just an off the wall idea. Jan 9 2011, 8:37 PM Rygar: I will keep the site up as long as I can. It costs me money, but not too much. Jan 9 2011, 8:37 PM DJClawson (guest): I can donate Jan 9 2011, 8:37 PM Kooshmeister (guest): If anything untoward happens, we can always save the scripts as text files at least. Jan 9 2011, 8:38 PM Rygar: It's like $4.50 a month plus an additional $15 payment every year. Jan 9 2011, 8:38 PM Kooshmeister (guest): That's not bad. Jan 9 2011, 8:38 PM WatsonSword (guest): That Jan 9 2011, 8:38 PM Rygar: Koosh -- I have the whole thing backed up on my computer, trust me. Jan 9 2011, 8:38 PM WatsonSword (guest): That's nothing! Jan 9 2011, 8:38 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Okay, just saying. Jan 9 2011, 8:38 PM Rygar: Thanks Jan 9 2011, 8:39 PM WatsonSword (guest): I'm signing off. I've copied everything said so far. Someone else will have to copy whatever comes after. Jan 9 2011, 8:39 PM Rygar: Thanks, WS. Have a good night, and thanks for everything! Jan 9 2011, 8:40 PM negima5 (guest): I do have to say you put in a lot of thought in to this project. Jan 9 2011, 8:40 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Anyway I know it's on the survey but before I go (I have to go and join some other friends elsewhere; we're gonna watch Harrison Ford kill bad guys in Air Force One) who was your favorite and least favorite character I introduced? XD Jan 9 2011, 8:40 PM Rygar: A lot of thought, and a lot of time when I should have been doing actual work, but it's all been worth it. Jan 9 2011, 8:41 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I'm amazed I got anything done. Incidentally, I should get cracking on the summary of Home, Swampy, Home soon. Jan 9 2011, 8:41 PM Rygar: It's all good, Koosh. I will probably start uploading them in another month or two. Jan 9 2011, 8:41 PM negima5 (guest): Yes and thank you for anwsering my quistion. Jan 9 2011, 8:42 PM Rygar: Of course. Any other questions? That's what we're here for. Jan 9 2011, 8:42 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yes, ask us. I'm loose-lipped. I'll spill anything. Jan 9 2011, 8:44 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well it got off to a smashing start but has sort of wound down, now. Jan 9 2011, 8:44 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And boy did they burn through that script fast. Jan 9 2011, 8:44 PM Rygar: Maybe for the best. I have to run in 15 minutes. Jan 9 2011, 8:44 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Phooey. Jan 9 2011, 8:44 PM Rygar: This script was a quick read. Jan 9 2011, 8:44 PM maxpwr (guest): Have about another 1/5 of it to go Jan 9 2011, 8:44 PM Kooshmeister (guest): True, it was almost all action. Jan 9 2011, 8:44 PM Rygar: And I still managed to cram in every minor Web Series character I could think of! Jan 9 2011, 8:45 PM negima5 (guest): Well I do want to know what gave you the Idea to cuntenu(sorry bad spelling) the story of Buck O'Hare? Jan 9 2011, 8:45 PM Rygar: DJ Clawson is the one who started it. I joined mid-stream. Jan 9 2011, 8:45 PM Rygar: DJ, you still here? Jan 9 2011, 8:45 PM Kooshmeister (guest): That's a question for DJ. Jan 9 2011, 8:45 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Come back down from upon thy throne of gold, oh creator. Jan 9 2011, 8:46 PM Rygar: I can say why joined on. Jan 9 2011, 8:46 PM Rygar: I was a big fan of the cartoon -- watched it when I was a kid, even though it was never very popular. Jan 9 2011, 8:46 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I did it simply because I had ideas I felt could be used and wanted to see those ideas be part of something larger. Jan 9 2011, 8:46 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Finished it Jan 9 2011, 8:46 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Sadness Jan 9 2011, 8:46 PM Rygar: When I found the Web Series, I was absolutely thrilled. I wanted to join in and help because I loved the show so much, and I got my wish after a few years. Jan 9 2011, 8:46 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): But yeah very good Jan 9 2011, 8:46 PM Rygar: Never thought I'd end up running the thing, but maybe I'd always secretly hoped. Jan 9 2011, 8:46 PM Rygar: Thanks, Sonic! Jan 9 2011, 8:47 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I'm still unsure why I was chosen as a writer. Were my suggestions for stories that good? XD Jan 9 2011, 8:47 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): The cape joke was funny near the end Jan 9 2011, 8:47 PM negima5 (guest): I see Jan 9 2011, 8:47 PM negima5 (guest): Thank you Jan 9 2011, 8:47 PM Rygar: Koosh, you had good ideas and a solid writing style. Jan 9 2011, 8:48 PM Kooshmeister (guest): When I got off my butt and wrote, anyway. Jan 9 2011, 8:48 PM Rygar: I try to always put a little humor in my scripts. Sometimes it works better than others. Jan 9 2011, 8:48 PM Rygar: Well, there's that Jan 9 2011, 8:48 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Would like to see an epilogue if you write it Jan 9 2011, 8:48 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I like adding humor, albeit dark humor. Jan 9 2011, 8:48 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Like Bucky repeatedly slamming the Stormtoad's head against the bars to escape by reaching through the food slot. Jan 9 2011, 8:48 PM Kooshmeister (guest): That was meant to be funny. Jan 9 2011, 8:49 PM Rygar: Sonic -- maybe someday. Jan 9 2011, 8:49 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): cool Jan 9 2011, 8:49 PM Rygar: Koosh -- I think some things work better in pictures than in words, but it was an amusing moment. Jan 9 2011, 8:49 PM Kooshmeister (guest): True which was always a hurdle for me. Jan 9 2011, 8:49 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Koosh was the toads head making squeaking sounds? Jan 9 2011, 8:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Something looks great in your mind but getting it written down to specifically convey what you want is difficult. Jan 9 2011, 8:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And no, a clanging noise. Jan 9 2011, 8:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): He had a Stormtoad helmet on. Jan 9 2011, 8:50 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): aww Jan 9 2011, 8:50 PM Rygar: Aw, I was picturing the squeaking noise. Jan 9 2011, 8:50 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I thought it specifically said it banged. Oh well. Jan 9 2011, 8:51 PM Rygar: It probably did. Jan 9 2011, 8:51 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yep Jan 9 2011, 8:51 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): But in the cartoon it would have been squeaking Jan 9 2011, 8:51 PM Kooshmeister (guest): That was one example of an idea applied to BOH originally meant for something else. Jan 9 2011, 8:51 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): or bonking Jan 9 2011, 8:52 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): O Really Koosh? Jan 9 2011, 8:52 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I always had in mind a scene where a hero escapes and gets the keys by grabbing a guard through a slot in the door and just pulling them against the door until they knock them out. Jan 9 2011, 8:52 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I just never had anything to put in it until BOH. Jan 9 2011, 8:52 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): They did tat in Digimon Jan 9 2011, 8:52 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I never watched Digimon. Jan 9 2011, 8:52 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): lol Jan 9 2011, 8:52 PM Madcat2K: awesome script O.O Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM maxpwr (guest): finished Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM maxpwr (guest): /applause Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Yay. Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM Rygar: Thanks, Max! Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): yep twas good Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Now Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM Kooshmeister (guest): SO what's the total series body count now? Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): darn enter button! Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM Rygar: Koosh -- that's a question for the wiki! Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): millions Jan 9 2011, 8:53 PM Kooshmeister (guest): XD Jan 9 2011, 8:54 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Btw Rygar also in Overrun, the Watkins guy, I meant to imply he was the squirrel detective from Phase Two. Jan 9 2011, 8:54 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): BOH WEB SERIES. Body count. than Star Wars Jan 9 2011, 8:54 PM Rygar: I realized that. Other folks probably will, too. Jan 9 2011, 8:55 PM Rygar: Five more minutes and I've got to run. Jan 9 2011, 8:55 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Figured he'd be the most prone to wanting to axe the remaining faux mammal after how cold he was with Drollard. Jan 9 2011, 8:55 PM Rygar: So you liked the finale, Max? Jan 9 2011, 8:55 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Especially after his wife, daughter, mother in law and father in law were killed by toads. Boy I'm mean sometimes. Jan 9 2011, 8:56 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yes you are Jan 9 2011, 8:56 PM Kooshmeister (guest): But it makes good drama. Jan 9 2011, 8:56 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): But it makes an interesting story Jan 9 2011, 8:56 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): oops Jan 9 2011, 8:56 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Beat you to it. > Jan 9 2011, 8:57 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Good one Jan 9 2011, 8:57 PM maxpwr (guest): Yup. I've said it before and everyone else has, but I've really enjoyed the series. I'm not a fan fic kinda guy, I just blundered onto the site last May by accident. But you all did a cracker jack job Jan 9 2011, 8:57 PM Rygar: Much appreciated! I'm glad we were able to write something that we enjoyed and that other fans also enjoyed. Jan 9 2011, 8:57 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yep, fine job! Jan 9 2011, 8:57 PM Kooshmeister (guest): And they all lived happily ever after. Jan 9 2011, 8:57 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Cept Toadborg Jan 9 2011, 8:57 PM maxpwr (guest): Though I will criticize you guys for the lack of Frix and Frax in the ending Jan 9 2011, 8:58 PM Rygar: Shoot, I thought I got everyone in there! Oh, well. Jan 9 2011, 8:58 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I thought about putting them on Strackwitts' ship. Jan 9 2011, 8:58 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): That's another story Jan 9 2011, 8:58 PM maxpwr (guest): well theres that epilogue you were talking about haha Jan 9 2011, 8:58 PM Kooshmeister (guest): This was before I decided it was gonna get destroyed. Jan 9 2011, 8:58 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Yay Star Wars Jan 9 2011, 8:58 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Not wanting to off them, I wrote them out of that scene. XD Jan 9 2011, 8:59 PM Madcat2K: i like how toadborg was delt with Jan 9 2011, 8:59 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Toadborg was a pompous jerk but fun to write when I got to. Jan 9 2011, 8:59 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): yeah Jan 9 2011, 8:59 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): Guy was a creep Jan 9 2011, 9:00 PM DJClawson (guest): I loved Toadborg Jan 9 2011, 9:00 PM DJClawson (guest): anyway, um, I feel miserable. Coming down with something. I'm going to pop out now Jan 9 2011, 9:00 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): He was a good villain Jan 9 2011, 9:00 PM DJClawson (guest): Nice talking to all of you, and someone send me a log Jan 9 2011, 9:00 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): see ya DJ Jan 9 2011, 9:00 PM maxpwr (guest): ah good night Jan 9 2011, 9:00 PM Kooshmeister (guest): I liked how he really wasn't as smart as he was made out to be; it was a dumb move sticking the only copy of the codes into himself and not the mothership computer. When the *Air Marshall* calls you on a goof up, you know you goofed. Jan 9 2011, 9:00 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Goodnight DJ. Get well. Jan 9 2011, 9:00 PM Rygar: I enjoyed writing Toadborg. Killing him was fun, too. Jan 9 2011, 9:01 PM Rygar: I originally wanted to launch him into the nearest star, but I couldn't figure out a good way to write that, and I like what I came up with. Jan 9 2011, 9:01 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): With magical sabers Jan 9 2011, 9:01 PM Rygar: See ya, DJ. Jan 9 2011, 9:01 PM Madcat2K: good luck Jan 9 2011, 9:01 PM DJClawson (guest): Good night! Jan 9 2011, 9:01 PM Rygar: Feel better, and thanks for coming by! Jan 9 2011, 9:01 PM Rygar: I actually need to run too, I'm afraid. Jan 9 2011, 9:01 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): So, Willy is gonna be teleporting everywhere now Jan 9 2011, 9:02 PM Rygar: This has been a lot of fun. Thank you all for coming by! Jan 9 2011, 9:02 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Well I'm off to watch Harrison Ford kill bad guys. I'll see you guys around. Jan 9 2011, 9:02 PM Kooshmeister (guest): Night! Jan 9 2011, 9:02 PM Madcat2K: night dude Jan 9 2011, 9:02 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): See ya Rygar Jan 9 2011, 9:02 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): See ya Koosh Jan 9 2011, 9:02 PM Madcat2K: oh my god that scrpt was awesome Jan 9 2011, 9:03 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): yep Jan 9 2011, 9:03 PM Rygar: Feel free to stay and chat as long as you like. Jan 9 2011, 9:03 PM Madcat2K: but i wanted to see komplex doing some kind of "swan song' before dying Jan 9 2011, 9:03 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): brb Jan 9 2011, 9:03 PM maxpwr (guest): ergh...like finishing a good book. enjoy but like saying goodbye to a friend. not to get all sentimental on everyone Jan 9 2011, 9:18 PM sonicheroes4ever (guest): see ya everybody
