<<SECURE TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL: 'SEE NO EVIL... WELL, MAYBE A LITTLE>>
As I was sitting idle in my Management Information Systems class,
I came up with an idea for the format of the counter-revengefics
and epilogue, based on what I know (probably outdated by now).
It is assumed that all the authors will write a suitable prologue
to this, defining their abilities/limitations and present status
at the time of the counterstrike. I will most likely lead this
off. Feel free to beat me stupid (well, stupidER) if I get
anything grossly wrong.
Known Pocket Dimensions:
Middle Of Nowhere: Created by Wyrm
Fred: Created by Frosty
Boogle: Created by JesX?
It works like this. First all the authors, teams or authors,
duplicated authors (You KNOW who I'm talking about!) begin with
prologues to this whole deal which take place before Mike
Loader's little betrayal (I would suggest Mike revise and repost
this one). This is to lock down their present status and location
(are they in Fred, Boogle, MON or the 'real' world? Are they
still human?). Then Fred is assaulted by an advance anime force
led by Mike Loader and the Otaku-Prime, Eddie, created by a
gross misuse of a Plot Hole. Wyrm and his team (including me!)
do their best to screw things up on the Plot Hole end. The battle
seems pretty even, since the Otaku-Prime Eddie and Loader are
kept out of the fight by Washuu, who confronts them demanding
the Plot Hole for analysis. Wyrm and co. finally manage to
collapse the Plot Hole, trapping all the Animates in Fred (And
getting Washuu really po'ed at Loader). Unfortunately, the
Authors are still in Fred, and are in for a bit of a fight.
Other authors, groups, etc. in Fred head out to exact their
revenge. It's a good fight, stretching over most of Fred's
terrain (about the size of Texas), and the authors are winning
some victories, but overall we're losing (This is where authors
get to write individual fics). Then Washuu manages to tap into
Fred's interdimensional signature (Thanks to a tracer she stuck
on Ryouko) and open a portal. Eddie leads the charge, and is
basically trouncing us, despite our inventive, ridiculously
overpowered and generally nonsensical attacks (He IS an
Otaku-Prime, after all). Wyrm and I are scrambling to figure
out why Eddie hasn't collapsed under his massive ego yet, and
we discover an external force is supporting him. This force
also has lesser tendrils touching ALL the anime characters.
We struggle to find a way to cut it off, when WASHUU does it
for us, collapsing Eddie, closing the portal and resequencing
Fred's interdimensional signature. What happens to Loader,
Kun-chan and any other turncoats is up to them (Do they stick
with the Animates? Do they throw in with (?)?). Unfortunately,
this cuts off those of us in MON and Boogle from our comrades
temporarily, until Durandal (the MON main computer system) can
relocate Fred. Someone else will have to write about what happens
in Fred while this is going on, but basically Washuu calls a
truce, and reveals to the Fredites the existence of (?). (?)
has been controlling the animates, although Washuu is able to
resist it to a degree (allowing her to close the portal). Luckily
due to Fred's nature, once she closed the portal the signal
was blocked, and everyone was freed from (?)'s control. The
backstory is that (?) approached the animates in various forms
(usually dreams), offering them the idea of a little harmless
revenge on us fanfic authors. He/she/it/(?) exerted a little
empathic pressure to get them to agree, then from then on slowly
increased his control, until they were virtual slaves (although
they didn't know it). In fact, Washuu was the only one who knew
(?) even existed, as he/she/it/(?) simply implanted the idea,
then provided the means for interdimensional transport (i.e.
Hammerspace). This also had the effect of bleeding the anime
universes into our own, altering reality, and more importantly,
altering US (This explains some of the changes, such as Wyrm's
multiplication, Plot Holes, pocket universes, etc.). It seems
(?)'s overall plan is to prevent us from writing any more fics,
of ANY type. However, even Washuu doesn't know what (?) is.
She DOES, however, know WHERE (?) is, in a custom tailored
dimension he had her create for him.
Washuu proposes a truce, and now both the animates and the
authors in Fred want revenge. But (?) still controls all the
mindless baddies of the anime universes, such as hordes of
Zentradi, Boomers, the Kunou family, Zoanoids, various mechs,
etc. Essentially the entire crew of animates and authors blip
out of Fred (courtesy of a Washuu provided portal), after
figuring out how to block (?)'s control, leaving a note saying:
Sorry, we can't come to the interdimensional portal right
now. We're all out trouncing some goober named (?) who is
supposedly responsible for all this. Oh, and we made up with
the Animates, who are helping us. Seems (?) was controlling
them. Kisses and Hugs.
The Fredites.
By about this point, those of us aboard MON refind Fred, only
to discover it abandoned (And nobody fed the fish!). We find
the note, but unfortunately the dimmies forgot to tell us WHERE
this little dimensional pocket is. Me and Durandal (notice how
I'm giving myself a BIG part here?) go back to tracking the
residue of that original energy signature that was supporting
Eddie (remember that?). Meanwhile Wyrm and his various
incarnations go zipping around to Boogle and the real world
picking up the remaining authors, including those who didn't
want to hurt the animates (They're on our side now, remember?).
Such as the Revengefic Ruiners. We also scoop any animates left
behind (After we figure out how to break (?)'s control over
them). Durandal cracks the signature, and MON goes zipping off
to help our friends. (Insert appropriate theme from Star Wars
here)
Meanwhile the Fredites are ensconced in a psychotic battle with
the forces of (?). His fortress is basically a really big
mechanical planet, although parts of it are forest, desert,
some bits don't exist, some are ocean... basically, its pretty
undefined (Just like (?)), but each level down is different.
According to Washuu, (?) is at the planet's core. At this point
MON arrives on the opposite side of the planet, and according
to Durandal, the energy signature is eminating from the planet's
core. So we begin fighting our way down too. We don't know about
(?), though, so we have no idea what we're up against. The
Fredites DO know about (?), but they STILL don't know what
they're up against, except that it doesn't like them much
(He/she/it/(?)'s undefined, remember?). This is where each
author/group can write about their own fight down to the core.
We define the planet as we go, so anything goes, and by defining
it we weaken (?). Obviously there are still going to be some
sore points between the authors and animates (and the authors
and the turncoats), so there will be some friction.
At some point groups from Fred will meet up with us MONsters,
and eventually we all reach the core.
The core is basically a large rock chamber, filled with (?)
who comes across a a large, undefined cloud. We begin by
attacking (?) with out Ridiculously Powerful Yet Humourous
Attacks(tm), and do absolutely zilch. After trashing us a little,
(?) reveals that he is all the undefined, unfinished junk that
we authors have floating around in our heads or hard drives
or paper. He is the summation of all our unfinished stories,
undefined characters and unvoiced ideas, and that is where his
power is (Thereby fulfilling the requirement that all Big Baddies
blow their entire plan/purpose to the heros during the climatic
battle). Washuu and the other big brains put their heads together
and figure out that if we DEFINE (?), we can perhaps weaken
him enough to defeat him. So we start defining him, turning
him into a true bad-ass bad guy, but a DEFINED (and therefore
defeatable) one. Then we get to vent our frustrations on him,
beating/hacking/slicing/blasting/zapping/pummeling/tearing/
crushing him into a puddle of very DEAD goo. Then celebrate,
knowing that we must be careful to finish our fics, lest (?)
rears his/her/its/(?)'s ugly head (or whatever he ends up with).
(Insert The Ending Theme from the first Star Wars movie here)
At this point each of us writes an epilogue, tying up the loose
ends, and explaining any residual effects (i.e. curses, multiple
copies of ourselves, perpetual bad hair, anime characters
refusing to leave, the eventual fate of Mike Loader and other
traitors, etc.). For instance, what will the fate be of the
joined lifeform Alpha Centauri? Will his human half cure his
curse? Will his AI component get a date with Leela? Will Leela
be able to restrain herself from frying the Centauri AI crispy?
Will Adam be able to explain to his parents where the hell he's
been during this? Will he ever move out and get a real job?
Does anyone really care?
If this idea seems a little weird, then you obviously haven't
been reading the revengefics long enough. I developed this idea
to mesh as much a possible with the existing storylines, while still
allowing each author the maximum flexibility to write their own
destinies (you can kill yourself off if you really want. I think Frosty
is offering a discount on cloned replacements). This means this story
could cover a LOT of branch plotlines, and the eventual assembled story
is gonna be MASSIVE (That is, the original revengefics, the training
fics, the FredWar fics and the eventual (?)World fics).
Whaddaya think?
