Sine Wave's Fanfiction

[on:]

I guess I sort of hinted at this story a few months ago, but now, many long nights and four complete plot overhauls later I think I'm turning out something decent. Constructive criticism is appreciated.         

A Soon to be Contradicted View of the Future

Part One
Part Two
Part Three

Also, in the shorter-but-finished department, there's

Biogenesis

Interesting, I wonder whats happen to Leela?

Nice start too, can't wait for more! 

Finally I get to save the earth with deadly lasers instead of deadly slide-shows. 'Al Gore, Bender's Big Score'

Oh ya, Happy Holidays too!

[Reply #2 on:]

Nice start! I'll be sure to keep reading.

[Reply #3 on:]

“This Durans Duran.”

Hahaha! Awesome. I love Duran Duran.

Also, 'the breakfast planet' cracked me up.
Nice references to exotic physics.

[Reply #4 on:]

Nice story.

[Reply #5 on:]

Wow, good start.

[Reply #6 on:]

I spilled water all over my keyboard when you said 'Ice-Ten will make regular water explode'. Although it would have been very slightly funnier if Fry had said 'Will it irreversibly freeze other water?'

It makes the reference a bit clearer...

Ah, very good point. Also, for further clarification, when I said 'more's on the way,' I was referring to the way from my head to my hands. And apologies about your keyboard.

Oh good, I was hoping the upcoming DVDs wouldn't shut down fan fic.

I'm enjoying your quantum references, sine wave.  I see your potential well.

[Reply #9 on:]

You should add a monolith that changes suddenly into an infinite hole filled with stars.

[Reply #10 on:]

Lets all join hands and sing "Hungry Like the Wolf" come on!  Nicely done story....but four plot overhauls? What are you? An extreme perfectionist? I like that. 

[Reply #11 on:]

Do you? 

[Reply #12 on:]

@ Robo D, SonicPanther and FuturamaPac: Glad you're enjoying it so far, hopefully I won't disappoint when I actually get to the plot of the story.

@ Coldangel, Xanfor, and JustNibblin': Not to get emotional, but being a big fan of you guys' work, your comments really mean a lot to me. Thanks.

Possibly much later, maybe.

  Indeed (she's mine, Xanfor, step off). But yes, I guess I could be called a perfectionist. If I'm not doing my best, why do it at all?

Well, thanks to everyone, hopefully the next part will be up tomorrow at the latest.

[Reply #13 on:]

Ooh, a Xanfor/Sine Wave fight! This could get interesting. *gets popcorn*

[Reply #14 on:]

Now, now, violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, and as two perfectionists, I'm sure neither of us wants to go there.

...

[Reply #15 on:]

Then could you fit in an update in that two weeks? Pleeease?

This is a great story, can't wait for more. I love how you come up with all this, like the ice-ten and poodle.com

“Well,” Bender said, reeling into a flashback, or a frame tale, whichever is technically correct, “it all started as I was leaving the quantum casino entirely of my own free will…”

I can so see Bender saying that.  And I like your writing style.

I know how it is with real life, but once you start you gotta finish, right?  At least tell us you know what the finish is...

Thanks, and yes, I know how it ends. Vaguely, however I don't want to have too specific a plan until I write more, so I don't end up having a story that's incompatible with its ending and whatnot.

“There’s a cat in there?” Leela said, shocked. “But it’s completely sealed! How do you know if it’s even alive?”

Hahaha, you nerd!

Ooooh, ESP. Liking this.

[Reply #19 on:]

Great update, can't wait for more.......oh I can.

I am not a perfectionist. Supermodels are perfectionists and I despise them.

 

it says in this Tikipedia article that both of you consumed what is known as the Cocktail of Life, a drink native to Copenhagos h/2pi created from melting a sandslug with ice-ten. Oh lord, it’s LSD all over again. You develop something for science and the next thing you know it’s out on the street and people are singing songs about bearded rainbows.

Ok, this keyboard you owe me!

Smoke me a kipper; I'll be back for breakfast.

[Reply #21 on:]

I just loved the Schrodingers Cat reference.

But there better be a 1:4:2 dimensioned object in this story somewhere.

[Reply #22 on:]

I think Schrodinger would love his cat making an appearance in this fanfic.  Then again, maybe he would hate it.  Actually, it probably would be a linear combination of both states.   

[Reply #23 on:]

Nice update Sine. It still left me guessing what'll happen next. Too bad about college. But to me, you could just skip studying some nights and write instead, or do double ups with study for so long and then writing or vice versa. Good luck with both the story and college. What do you want to major in anyways?

My own feelings on the joke were quite superpositioned when I wrote it, as I was afraid it would be too cliche, but it formed sort of a key storytelling element. I'm glad it was a hit.

I guess whenever I get writer's block I can just think of someone creepily watching me through my bedroom window. Thanks.

You might want to invest in lidded beverage containers, a sippy cup perhaps. This may end expensively, for me, if I continue to hold myself liable.

Still guessing, huh? Who knows, I might manage to make it to the actual plot eventually. I'll still write at school, I assure you (damn the creative writing class needing instructor permission), just understand it won't be as much.

Unsurprisingly, I'm planning to be a physics major.

The water gets on the board after it's been in my mouth. That's why my posts have been writing themselves lately.

[Reply #26 on:]

Ah, very well. I guess it's just the price to pay then.

[Reply #27 on:]

Physics is a nice thing to major in. Of course I myself would never be able to do that. If it involves difficult math, I count myself out. However, it's your choice, and so I claim you smarter than I in that department. Maybe you'll become a scientist that can actually do something more than hate what another scientist's opinion is about a subject. 

[Reply #28 on:]

Hopefully so. Finding a Theory of Everything would be nice, as well as a loophole for faster-than-light travel.

[Reply #29 on:]

Good stuff.

I direct you to this article on the military's interest and involvement in precognitive study: http://www.qedcorp.com/pcr/pcr/emay.html

[Reply #30 on:]

Uh oh....Fry's in deep crap now if Nixon gets him. No telling what kinda horrible things he'd do...

[Reply #31 on:]

Nice fic, I completely agree with what Zoidy is saying...

[Reply #32 on:]

That proves Fry's knowledge of the future isn't complete. After all, he didn't know that by going to the Nimbus he was going to alert Nixon to his powers.

[Reply #33 on:]

Awesome you were able to fit Nixon in too, not a lot of Fanfics use him.

Also, I'm really liking this fic. Great work.

As interesting as it may seem, I'd hesitate to call any of that proven science. I mean, it depends on a "pilot brain wave" which is only defined as something that carries qualia, which are very nebulous and immaterial themselves. Also, in my opinion, postmodernism shouldn't touch science with a ten foot pole. Well, anything really, but science especially.

And, probably more pertinent to your intentions, the government only contributed $250,000 to a $20,000,000 study, or so they claim. I've seen stuff on their involvement with similar projects though.

Well, no telling for you, I sort of have to tell you guys things or it won't be much of a story.

Or did he?

Nixon is a must, one of my favorite characters.

[Reply #35 on:]

Of course, there's more info to be had on the Soviet Union's fervent pursuit of a similar program during the Cold War.

Originally posted by Sine Wave:

I'd rather if he didn't. It's going to be hardpressed if youre trying to make a story about someone who can see all of the future.

You could say that he could only see a few hours ahead or something.

[Reply #37 on:]

STELLAR. Lovin' it. I especially liked:

Originally posted by Sine Wave:
The delivery boy’s companions watched as the man rolled past them down the hill, followed shortly by a skidding fireball. Technically, it was a firecube, but the observers weren’t that concerned with formalities at the time. The woman and robot froze as they realized what was at the bottom of the hill: a river. By the time they could move to chase the block, it was in the water, and the movie screen was filled by a blinding light. “And that’s how Copenhagos h/2pi became a desert planet.”.....

...  a farmer’s market with fresh quark in all six flavors,.....

General Parking (Pauli Excluded).......

“Bon Appetite.” He said, setting them down in front of Fry and Leela.

“I’ll never understand what these guys are saying.”

...And a lot more.
Are you Danish, or do you just know the language?

Any sort of nefarious activity gets +50 bad-ass points when communism's involved.

It's explained further on in the story and that's all I'm saying to keep from spoiling stuff.

No, oh heavens no. The Danish came from a translator, tweaked with my knowledge of German into something I hoped was passably correct. I guess it is!

[Reply #39 on:]

I would read this but I'm really tired. I got to sleep at about 4.00 am last night. I'll defibitely read it some other time though!
