What's next for MuppetWriter's Fanfics?

[The Count]

Sounds great Sean... If you can keep it all straight with no problems. Maybe making a neat little list/chart type deal in your PC's files would help.
BTW: The first ten of the castle are finished... Want to see if some friends from here who are also on Facebook can assist in creating a Countdown List application, where I have all the beings in my demon's chest listed with the total of how many I have to be reduced one by one as I create the corresponding character and add the matching page in the fic before moving on with CCH #11 onwards. On that note, Hayley's scheduled for CCH #37, when I get there I'll let you know.

Thanks, Count. And I'll be sure to mention that to her once you tell me.

Funny you should mention that, 'cause I have been keeping up with a bit of a list/chart to see who I have scheduled to write into my stories for some time now.

Hey, everybody.

I want to apologize for all these constant changes and cutbacks I've been making lately and posting them on the thread. I decided it would be best to silently make whatever changes and cutbacks I have in the future and use this thread for just new ideas that I'd like to share rather than announcements on random changes.

Apparently I was unhappy with a lot of choices I made for my stories, as I went back and made the alterations. So if a lot of stuff seem different from what I'd originally anticipated, it's just part of getting used to my new gimmick of basing characters off real friends.

In the meantime, I'm really anxious about going back to working on my second F4/Muppets story soon.

I've been mentioning this friend as "GelflingGirl92" as of late, but her actual name is Sarah. These are her pics:

This is when she was younger.

So is this one.

And this is her today.

Sarah's character (who will often be referred to as "Kala") will make her first "Sesame, DC" appearance in the Dark Knight/Sesame Street crossover next year as the cousin, fellow detective, and mentor to my character.

She's a member of the Muppet Central forum now and has been visiting every now and then, so leave her a message sometime.

 

[The Count]

Heh... So long as she's not in with the mob or one of the four clowns killed during the Gotham Bank robbery.
Actually, I like the updates you've posted here in the past Sean. Gives us a behind-the-scenes feel and chance to meet your friends before reading the vonderful fics.

 

[muppetwriter]

Really?

Well, I'm not going to completely stop updating. Just maybe limit my announcements on changes I've made.

But since you put it that way, I do have some announcements to make on what I've decided to change for my stories next year.

I've removed my friends Cory, Shellie, Wendy Rider, Miranda, and Melissa Ann from any future plans that I had for them or their characters in my stories. This pretty much minimizes my number of friends for characters to ten, and here's how the list goes:

Alissa Brown:
“Marvelous Muppets” – Sister to my character / Reporter
“Legends of Disney” – Sister to my character
“Sesame, DC” – Sister to my character / Reporter

Larissa Brown:
“Sesame, DC” – Sister to my character / Reporter

Terah:
“Marvelous Muppets” – Sister / Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Sarah (“Kala”):
“Sesame, DC” – Cousin / Detective

Christina Renee:
“Sesame, DC” – Friend

Hayley Michaels:
“Marvelous Muppets” – NYPD Detective / Cousin
“Ghostbusters” Story – Egon Spengler Counterpart

Stephanie Zimmermann:
“Ghostbusters” Story – Ray Stantz Counterpart
“Sesame, DC” – Cousin / Detective

“Japanese” Jen Natsumi:
“Legends of Disney” – Disney Fanatic / Possible Love Interest
“Marvelous Muppets” – Definite Love Interest / Reporter

Jessica Lauren:
“Ghostbusters” Story – Peter Venkman Counterpart

Maria:
“Ghostbusters” Story – She’ll join me as Winston Zeddemore's counterpart


This list might change, but seeing as how I'm coming close to working on that Ghostbusters/Muppets story, most of the friends who are going to be members of my version of the team will be the ones you see on this list. Any other changes will be solely for character roles and series placements, not replacements by different friends.

 

[The Count]

Hey Sean... Sent you an email with some fanfic characters, hope it helps.

 

[muppetwriter]

It helps out greatly, Count. Thanks.

An update for the Sesame Street/Teen Titans story that I'm writing simultaneously with the Muppets/Ghostbusters one....

Although the Teen Titans are the main focus of the tale, Superman will be featured in the story in a sub-plot that references the storyline of Superman II. The story will also feature Bruce Wayne or Batman (I'm still deciding on one of the two) and serve as a "prequel" to the Dark Knight story.

The story will mark the first appearance of Alissa and Larissa's characters, who are both reporters working for The Daily Planet alongside Bob, Ernie, and Bert. I'm deciding right now on having Stephanie Zimmermann (whose character role I've changed from cousin to sister) in the story also, as well as Kiera Sky (originally planned for the Ghostbusters story), who is replacing Stephanie as my character's cousin.

That's all I have for now.

EDIT: It's also becoming a decision of mine to introduce Dan Turpin and Harvey Bullock--both men are detectives in the DC Universe that work with Superman and Batman respectively--in the two stories that I have lined up for next year. If I use Turpin and Bullock, then I'll be basing their appearances off the two animated series.

An update for "Nights of the Knights" (The Dark Knight/Sesame Street story):

I'd omitted one additional franchise from my plans for the tale, leaving only Scooby-Doo, Darkwing Duck, and Gargoyles to be the main ones I'll be using.

In case anyone is wondering which franchise I'd omitted, it was The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. I want this story to take a much more serious tone than I had with the first Batman/SS crossover, and the "Billy and Mandy" characters might bring more comic relief than actually needed with characters from Scooby-Doo and Darkwing involved.

But don't fret--for some of you who are fans of the show--I still have them planned for the Ghostbusters/Muppets crossover coming in March.

 

[muppetwriter]

Well, I know I made a promise not to replace any of the friends who I'm developing characters for, but when friends start to lose contact with me and even their MySpace accounts get removed, it makes it a little hard to stick to my plans to have them in the stories because they are the ones whose feedback I depend on the most--because it's their characters.

What I mean by this is that I'll have to unfortunately replace Hayley Michaels (who I've been planning to write into both the "MARVELOUS Muppets" series and the Ghostbusters/Muppets story) with someone else for her roles, because I no longer have any connection to her online since her MySpace page has been removed.

I'm replacing her role as the counterpart to Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters with my friend Christina Renee, who's still planned to make her character appearance in "Sesame, DC" with the Teen Titans/Sesame Street story.

And Hayley's role as the NYPD Detective cousin of my character in "The MARVELOUS Muppets" will go to my friend Miranda.

But in brighter news....

Our own BeakerSqueedom (Claudia) will be in the Ghostbusters/Muppets story as the "fifth Ghostbuster" replacing my MySpace friend Maria for the role. Her involvement in the story now has inspired me to include Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker into the Muppet-side of the Ghostbusters team.

Tonight, I'll be working on that story, and I promise that I will have some "sneak peeks" for everyone during the upcoming weeks leading to its premiere on the boards in March.
