Rejoice! For bad things are about to happen.
I may have figured out what's wrong with my writing. A bit of fluff wasn't cutting it--I need to go on an out-and-out screaming WTF binge of parody.
That being said, the cast for New Moon Over My Wereheiny only needs two, maybe three more people. We have a Bella and possibly definitely an Alice, wingedrivers has offered to man the sockpuppet version of Edward, the Volucatholic vamps are going to be styrofoam puppets manned by myself & newageamazon, and if zen_of_nihilism won't toe Bella as Charlie then I'll put on his shoes and do it for him. Add in a cameo by Mark, aka Panasonicyouth of Buzznet, aka the poor soul who's breaking down Twilight chapters so you don't have to read them yourself, and all we need is a SMeyer and someone to be Edward for two minutes. Then we can pick a weekend and get to work on filming.
(Ph34r. Lots.)
But I'm not out of OMGWTFcrack yet. Conversations with newageamazon and with the con-co-conspirator (henceforth Ari) have me certain that the world is bereft of something.
Steelers-inspired shonen-ai manga.
Guys, I need an artist. Someone willing and able to draw the sparkly magical catboys Big Ben & Polamalu, their Buddha-like mentor Master Tom Lin, their darling young fanboy Sid (who really wants to be like them but will whiz around hitting things with a stick until he gets a little older), the dubiously evil Lord Cower (who used to be the boys' mentor, but who ran off and abandoned them), and other such WTFeries. I'm serious about this--like, to the point of looking into printing it via Lulu & dragging it to conventions.
If I just stop futzing about with fanfic for a little bit, I could get a working script knocked out in under a week. But that's if I get an artist. I know at least one of you is good &/or crazy enough to help go through with this.
. . . Wonder if DA would be a good place to post this, too. :D
