Im writing a fin-fiction where after 'Love & Rockets' and 'Leela's Homeworld', Fry and Leela have been "together" tho in secret.  :love:
Leela is the one that wants the secrecy, tho I haven't figured exactly why yet... Partly because she doesn't what the rest of the crew to gawk, and bother her about it. But I need another reason. Any ideas?

I also need help writing Amy's part(As she isn't my favorite charactor and I don't know enough about her   :p ) She is on a family cruise and thus isn't directly tied to the first half of the story. Tho she uses a VidPhone to call Leela from the Cruise ship. Leela, is in the middle of a delivery with Fry, Bender, and Zoidberg(Zoiberg or Zoidberg? ). So far she asks if Leela is busy, and Leela says no more than usual, then Amy's Parents show up. I don't like it cause its short and isn't really funny So I need help for fillers jokes ect... Also she is suppose to drop a hint on what'll happen later in the fic... Also catch phrases she normaly says would be nice   ;)

Thnx in advance.   :)

Erd, if you don't think the Amy bit works, you don't have to use it...

Yea, things flow better when they are natural, not forced.  If you can include amy in a meaningful way great, but if not leave it out because it could feel forced, thus lessing the quality of the fic.

Its Zoidberg, there is a "d". Also, I wrote about 1/36th of a fic then gave up when I learned that the topic is going to be an actual episode... however, the stuff I wrote could work for what you are doing... its the opening and it is setting up for a delivery... you can take it if you want. (I love the Scary Door part):
My partial fic:

Opening Some assembly required

Begins, Bender and Fry sitting in their familiar positions on the couch watching TV. It zooms to the screen. They are watching another installment of “The Scary Door”.
Narrator: You are entering a place where ordinary people, do extraordinary things. Where people’s worst fears are brought to life, and where ketchup bottles don’t get that hard black ring around the top. You’re about to enter: The Scary Door. (Main logo) A glance to your right reveals one Elizabeth Powell. He day begins as it usually does, but with a sudden twist… (She buts a cup of coffee, and tosses a coin to pay for it. The coin begins to inexplicably hover. She is jittered and continues to walk down the street. She gets to the bus stop and is the last one to board, as she does, she looks up at the driver, who smiles with his mouth closed, but she clearly hears his say: “Room for one more”. She screams and rushes out of the bus, where she is snatched up by a giant hand. The driver adjusts his hat revealing a third eye, smiles, and drives off.

Scene changes back to Fry and Bender on the couch.

Bender: Boring!

Leela enters the room.

Leela: What are you guys doing? I told you we had a meeting at 10, and its 10 right now!

Fry: (Glancing at wrist) 9:59 by my watch.

Leela: Fry that’s not a real watch. It’s a picture you drew on your wrist in pen.

Fry: That doesn’t make it any less accurate than my other watches.

Leela: (sighs) Come on, let’s go.

The scene changes to the crew seated at the boardroom table. The professor is addressing the crew.

Professor: Good news everyone! Today you’ll be performing a suicidal mission that’s never been successfully attempted by man!

Leela: Why would that be good?

Hermes: (Showing off three envelopes) You life insurance policies have been cleared.

End

I'd also like to see someone write a fic about one of the crew doing something like destroying a priceless religious artifact and having to seek the forgiveness of the space pope.

By all means. I actually thought I had deleted it... (i had meant to :P) but at least it can be of some use.

It was going to continue and be about the parallel universe, and they had to make a delivery there (a supply of cowboy hats, they had a severe shortage) and they couldn't just blast it through on an unmanned rocket because the prof. refused to pay transdimentional postage.

ok I finished modifying the 'ScaryDoor' part
how's this?

--
Bender and Fry sit slumped on the couch watching TV.
The screen shows that they are watching another installment of ‘The Scary Door’.

TV Show>>

TVNarrator:   You are entering a place where ordinary people, do extraordinary things.
Where people’s worst fears are brought to life, and where ketchup bottles don’t get that hard black ring around the top. You’re about to enter: The Scary Door.

The shows Main logo appears, then fades to a small town.

TVNarrator:   The rising sun brings forth the new day, but the town is quiet still.
A glance to your right reveals one Elizabeth Powell.
Her day begins as it usually does, waking early in the morn, whilst everyone else sleeps.
But today, is different…

Elizabeth Powell buys a cup of coffee, and tosses the Robot Merchant a coin to pay for it.
She turns to walk away, but the coin begins to inexplicably hover.
She is shaken, and stares at it for a minute, then slowly backs away before turning and continuing to walk down the street. She goes to the bus stop and notices that there is a line of people.

Powell:      (Thinking) Strange. Usually no one but Robots are up at this hour.

Shrugging she gets in line and waits as the bus pulls up and people start boarding.
She is the last one to board, as she does, she looks up at the driver, who smiles with his mouth closed.

BusDriver:   Room for one more.

The bus driver’s mouth never opens, yet the words are clear and audible.
She gasps and rushes out of the bus.
She stops suddenly as a giant hand reaches down out of nowhere grabs her, and pulls her up and off screen.
The driver adjusts his hat revealing a third eye, smiles, and drives off.

TV Show<<

Bender pulls out a beer from his chest compartment and takes a swig.

Bender: What a load of crap!

Leela enters the room.

Leela: What are you guys doing? I told you we had a meeting at 11, and its 11 right now!
Fry: (Glancing at wrist) 10:35 by my watch.
Leela: Fry that&#8217;s not a real watch. It&#8217;s a picture you drew on your wrist with a pen.
Fry: That doesn&#8217;t make it any less accurate than my other watches.
Leela: (sighs) Come on, let&#8217;s go.

In the Fic 'Dr.' Zoidberg has examined Hermes, and when asked about it states that he couldn't find his...

so, what kind of 'unknown alien organ' should it be?

Person: So whats wrong with Hermes?
DZ: His gas bladder is highly inflammed! This is often I sign of fin-rot... I'm afraid we'll have to put him down. (He sighs and reaches for a needle that reads: St. John's Arsenic for Children)
Others: NO!
Bender: Moron!

ok Im aaaaalmost ready to post what I got so far.
I just have a question:
I have Fry shower, and clean up for once, and the rest of the crew had bet on how long it would take before he finaly does. the bet was three years ago, around the begining of the show, but I have only seen 1 season 1 eps...
I want a flash back to show the bet, but I can't think of how it'll play out... any ideas?

oh Leela wins it btw..    :p

First here is a list of ideas, and such that Ive been thinking about doing in other FanFics(I especially like the last one with the Evil Worms).   :laff:
 http://www.planetunreal.com/ucz/files/FutScraps.txt 

and the Fic itself(note there is a scrap/idea at the top, it has nothing to do with the fic).    :p
 http://www.planetunreal.com/ucz/files/FuturamaFanFic.txt 

Tell me what you think, k?

yes. its currently just a quick draft, and there are parts I intend to 'beef up'. its not complete yet, I just thought id post it and see what you guys thought of it so far...

One thing Im curious about is if the characters are accurate? If you catch any parts where the characters react differently than they should, ect...

That would be really hard to explain since we've already seen the flashback of her birth and she was definately the only baby there. But maybe she has younger sisters or something that her parents also gave up for a better life.
The teamwork siminar idea sounds awsome!

The last time i tried to kill myself was an hour ago, i jumped off this really tall building. But i ended up accidently doing a triple backflip and landing on my feet. No one saw it except for two little kittens and one kitten turned to the other and said "See, that's how you do that."

Me too.  Heck, I'd read anything by Kryten.

Oh, and Erdrik, I REALLY like it!  Sounds so far.  I just have a couple questions.  I didn't thoroughly read it, so where exactly is it going?  I know, a rude question, but hey, I, like Life, am a bitch.  ;)   Also, I'm guessing you plan on the crew finding out about L&F, so do you also plan on someone (i.e. Bender) finding out and then telling everybody?  I'm just axeing.  I think having someone walk in on them is a good way for it to spread.  That's how I thought Buffy and Spike would work out, but she told Tara instead.  Anyway, I think it's great and I look forward to reading more!  :)

immidiatly after the Delivery. or after a second delivery...  :p

mkay. I did more work on it. I moved it into Word, as a .doc file so that I could orginize it better, and then colored the Narrative text to be green, and slightly smaller.
As for the plot, I have finished working it all out. I have even written abit of the ending. Also Ive added about 3 pages, and reworked/worded some of the existing text.
I'll send it in to TLZ, FSAC, and CGEF(and maybe others) when it is done.

hmmm... I wanna post but I also don't wanna post... If I post more Ill no longer be a 'delivery boy'... Arrrrrg... decisions, ohhh the stress!

___
Later. The door to the bridge slowly creeps open
and a shadowed head with one-eye peeks out.
After looking around Leela steps off the bridge
and quietly takes a few steps to the other end
of the hall.
Her hair is messed, her tank top is un-tucked,
and one of the shoulder straps is hanging loosely
over her upper arm.
She looks back and motions to the still opened
door, then notices the strap and quickly pulls
it back up over her shoulder. Fry walks out,
his jacket flung over his shoulder, and his
hair also in a mess.
Fry:   (Quietly but Sly) You dropped this, ma&#8217;am.
Fry holds out his hand revealing Leela&#8217;s bra.
Leela&#8217;s eye widens, and she quickly snatches it
out of his hand.

Hee hee, enjoy.  :)
