Quoted from DarrenJamesSeeley


I highlighted that one part Marine, because I do recall that OWC about...two...years...ago I think were there was a 're-imagining' of 70s and 80s TV shows. I chose Thundarr The Barbarian  I don't mind a fan fic no profit short one off, so long as that is the intent. I do frown on feature length fan scripts.

I could be wrong, but one of the options wasn't fan fic, and if you must know, until I read the first page of the thread, it didn't really dawn on me. It wasn't even part of my reaction. I still have the summary on my clipboard (I cut and pasted it there in case the missing thread was an unrelated error on my end)  It was a mixed reaction, but I thought the writing was good overall,


tell ya what.
I'll PM you the review.


Crime was the genre I chose, and it was clearly a crime. There is almost always a sub-genre...this one would be fan fiction.

Like I mentioned...I geek out over certain movies, one of them is Se7en. I glom onto certain characters and want to see more of them...see what they were like in their youth, see traumas and life events that made them who they are...or in this case, actually see how John Doe got into the DA's office and murdered him.  One of my many, "never-to-be-realized" feature ideas is a story called, "Quint". Pretty sure most will know who that is. Anyway, he's a character I've always wanted to know more about.

Kham...fan fiction is when you use an already established world, mostly comic book stuff, and write your own story. Like geeked out Harry Potter fans have written brand new stories using Rowling's already established world and characters to kick start it. It's a great writing exercise also.

e.g. Mandalorian is a Jon Favreou (sp) fan-fiction from Star Wars. He just happens to have the money and connections to make it reality.

Oh yeah! True. And funny...I just added Disney+ today so we could have a Hamilyon watch party tonight. I might keep it for a few months to watch good stuff like Mandalorian.  

Maybe I could get Jon Fav to produce Quint. Lol.

I wake up and it’s 1970 all again when John and Paul went their seperate ways  

Jeff messaged me and it’s cool.  Hopefully he reconsiders.

Marn, Jaws is my favourite film ever and I’ve just finished a feature that pays homage to it. It’s not technically fan fic but I use char names in it. It’s called The Killing Waters and it’s in the Action/adventure thread if you’re interested.  Lol talk about free advertising  

Blondie, let me know what the go is now if my buddy doesn’t lob back

I thought Hamilton was going to be torture @2:45 but it was pretty darn good. Stayed awake and watched in one sitting.

Yeah, Disney+ is worth it.

Blondie, I’m happy for you to randomly delete half of my variables and genres for the sake of fairness.

Just make sure they aren’t the ones I’ve already planning to use lol. I have a couple of good ideas for the next couple of rounds and hopefully the themes will fit Lol!!

PM me

That is the protocol I had decided upon in this event, before the Tournament started. If Jeff is certain about his decision, I'll be messaging you after they're randomized.

Adjustments have been made. Stevie's variables have been adjusted due to Jeff dropping out. The same has also been done for Anthony & Marnie. Hopefully, this doesn't cause anybody undue stress. Everything should now be evened out again.
