Well if you read my first fanfic "First Fanfic for Me", then you'll know what I am talking... er... typing about.

THEME PLAYS
*Zoidberg riding on sperm on screen that Leela crashes into*

PART ONE
DECAPOD 10
*Amazing Grace playing in background*
LOBSTER PRIEST We are gathered here today to mourn the death of Dr. John Zoidberg, M.D. He died trying to get a real medical degree *shoots bad look at PE crew*
LEELA *sobs* poor Zoidberg. I... almost sorta miss him!
LOBSTER PRIEST John was the one who stopped our invasion force by... ironically... burning a flag...
FRY I bet Hermes is happy!
HERMES You bet! I'm as happy as a green snake in a sugarcane field! *leaves*
Hermes Waaaaaaaaah! *cries uncontrollably* I always acted like I hated him, but I really just wanted him to be my friend!
BENDER Heeheeheee! We can hear you!
*Fry and Leela's jaws both drop*
PE MAIN ROOM
PROFESSOR Good news everyone! Zoidberg's office has now been turned into a closet! Also, I may be able to bring him back to life!
HERMES Yaaaay! Thank Jah!
PROFESSOR If I can aquire Zoidberg's DNA, I can clone him using the clone-o-mat! But, it is not currently able to clone Decapodians. You will need to split into two teams: One to aquire Zoidberg's DNA, anf One to steal an upgrade for the clone-o-mat. Good luck!
LEELA But we'll need 2 ships!
PROFESSOR No problem! *presses button under table and a red ship shaped exactly like the old one* Fry, you can pilot the ship too, so you will need to lead team One, to get Zoidberg's DNA. Leela, you lead team Two, to get the clone-o-mat upgrade. So long!
IN RED PE SHIP- NAMED: U.S.S. ZOIDBERG
BENDER Why did you name the ship for Zoidberg? To remember him?
FRY Uh, no. It was because it is red.
BENDER Good. I hated Zoidberg.
COMPUTER Approaching Decapod 10. Activating hologram disguse system.
*ship now looks like a Decapodian Fighter*
BENDER Neat! *takes photo*
NORMAL PE SHIP
LEELA OK, Hermes. Stop obsessing over cloning  Zoidberg and get ready. We are approaching the cooridinates.
COMPUTER We are now appraoching cooridinates.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

REGULAR PE SHIP
LEELA Tractor beam fully functional. Now, If I can pinpoint it to pick up just one 1 meter diameter upgrade disc, I'll need to sacrifice  main engine power.
HERMES Why did I need to know dat?
LEELA You didn't. I said for no region
HERMES Sweet Lunatic of Lapeer! You're insane!
*Leela takes Hermes' glasses off ang destroys them with laser*
HERMES Great Bob Marley's ghost! You've turned evil! What is wrong wit' ya?
LEELA I... It's my fault Zoidberg's dead! It was the one who came up with the plan! And I calibrated the Reverse Memoray Chamber! I killed Zoidberg!
U.S.S. ZOIDBERG
FRY Well, we've landed in his cemetary!
BENDER Ah, graverobbing. My favorite Passtime.
FRY *reading Tombstone* R.I.P. Doctor      Johnathan Zoidberg, II
"A curious, lovable, lobster hobo. He died among his friends, who were his muderers. My they burn in Hell while Zoidberg feasts in Heaven. God rest his pennyless soul"
BENDER Now that is a good epitath!
END OF PART ONE
Didja like it? The Second part will be up either tomorrow or the day after.

U.S.S. ZOIDBERG

DECAPODIAN COP ON TRANSCIEVER The price is 100 Decapodian Dollars, or $1,000 of your dollars.
LEELA But I spent the last of my money on that bill!
FRY ON TRANSCEIVER Hermes?
HERMES! I'll gladly spend $1,000 to revive Zoidberg, but I'm flat broke!
BENDER We're boned.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

DECAPODIAN JAIL
BENDER (very softly) I've got an escape plan. Since I cook a lot, I always have lots of butter. I'll melt it, then use it to scare those lobsters just like we did Zoidberg.
FRY All without killing anyone? Whoa.
BENDER Oh, didn't I mention I was going to cook them afterwards?

Well, I've been cut off. Part 2b will be posted soon. Hail_futurama out!

There are a few things to remember while you're sunning yourself down in Florida and pondering which direction to take the story (and I know you will, you lucky dog).  The "something" and the "some place" is Hermes' catchphrase rhyme, they are not necessarily alliterations.  Also, they are fairly well-known places, not obscure cities nobody but local yokels like me could identify.  Consider "gret pest of Petosky".  "Great Trotski of Petosky" would have worked much better, but people would still be confused as to what the hell Petoskey is.  "Great great dane of Maine" or "Holy ants of France" or "Sweet Hokey-pokey of the Okeefenokee" (not really an animal, but not much rhymes with Okeefenokee) would have worked even better.

While this story makes more sense than the one about the medical school, it is very rough.  It seems more like an outline of a story than the story itself.  The characters lack refinement as well.  The broader underpinnings of their most prevalent traits are there, but they just don't feel fleshed out (also, as TL points out, catchphrases are insufficient remedies for bad characterization).

The Leela obsessing over a death she holds herself responsible for is a little tired at this point.  Transplanting a critical element of one of the best Futurama stories ever ("The Sting" ) to a form like this is tantamount to scraping gold from King Tut's death mask to make a filling.  You're not going to make it into anything better than what it was and you've chipped away at the integrity of the original.

If you haven't already, read Tongue Luck's anti-fanfic.  Anything I could say about fanfics, she has done fifty-three times more eloquently and with stinging barbs of sarcasm that would make Nix cry like an even bigger baby.
