Selected Champion is a spamfic mostly because I don't want to expand
into these directions.
Such a storyline would grow into a grand space opera, which UY does not
lend itself to. (Though I will be somewhat like that with Rumic Dwarf,
one of these days, at least then the Red Dwarf campiness will keep it
away from TSY)
I perfer to stay in the spectrum of Ambassador Lum to AA Oni. (Even in
Rumic Dwarf, Lum will be a comedic figure (think of a cross between Oni,
Space Princess and Minmei))
I don't doubt that, with some adjustment, UY can be used for a grand
Space Opera, but I'm not the author for it. (Hmmm... Ataru as Kirk,
Shutaro as Riker, an ensign in tiger-striped diapers, the gang of four
as...) I'll be happy to help, in whatever way I can, but I'm not the
one for this.
Rather than write an essay on Ataru's leadership qualities, I threw
together a story to present the evidence, without any thought for the
consequences of my actions and then I plastered the Spamfic label on it
to provide plausible deniablity.
