jle is a lesbian? (Or bisexual?)
Was this already common knowledge?

Common enough, and it's bisexual Josh, I don't believe in limiting my choices.

She only likes humans, eh?
Well I guess that gets rid of any chance I had.

Yeah, I kinda guessed that.

But the stuff I said about you and Zapp are true and I have the photos to prove it!

So his work is cut out for him then isn't it?

 

I thought that you thought that Fry had a great chance with Leela after TDHAIP.

Oh he definitely had a great chance with Leela after TDHAIP. 

And shippy pic:

By Becky from the Leela Zone

I said he had MORE chance, so even if Fry does date Leela, I will not go out with Zapp. That was your last chance up in flames Deca.

Fry's Choice by Layla.  It's an unfinished work we hope will one day be finished.  Be prepared - it's long and very involved.  It is also very well written.

Enjoy.

I'll help Ralph with this,  here you go.    Highlights are Layla's rocket skate story and Shiny's review of Layla.  Sadly  Layla never finished her main story, and was starting to struggle at the end.

As an aside, I've been looking for this thread for ages and just found it via Layla's thread.  In terms of solid fanfic advice and insight into F+L relationship it is one of the best. 

Ah, to have been in PEEL in 2004/2005...

Key word being did, you lost your chance.

Than was before he lost his chance, duh!

Geez WAV, put me in a potential flame position here...but I know what you mean.

I'd say all three of Layla's short fanfics in that thread are DEFINITELY worth the time (be sure to read the version of the skating story that has the epilouge).

"Fry's Choice" IMHO is one of top five best fanfictions on all Futurama boards.  I'd say the part up to where Leela decides to break Fry out of the hospital is nearly flawless (i.e. is a model for vivid and engaging prose), and then after that there were a few plot twists that struck a false note with me, but some sections are still incredible.  Once Munda is injured a deux ex machina appears and the story stops in a bit of a cliffhanger (these are only mild spoilers). 

But even if unfinished, I think you should read as much of it as you can.  Even the awkward parts are better than a lot of fanfics out there.  And then join the crowd waiting for her return!

Another great story is Background Noise, a story written by a Harley-riding brother of mine (not blood brother, just a Harley riding one).  He stated in an e-mail a few months ago taht he was going to try to wrap it up by August of this year, but real life concerns seem to have slowed him down.

Hey! That's good news!
I thought that he had abandon it all together. I really like the way he writes Background Noise and I was somewhat disappointed when there wasn't anymore updates after Part 15.

I ask this question because I dont want to get involved with a fanfic that, at the last part, leaves a bunch of unanswered questions. That drives me out of my mind, and I hate it. Absolutely hate it. I did that with Rye Guy's fanfic "The Other", which may I say is a VERY brilliant fanfic and definitely worth reading, but at the end of the last part, still leaves so many unanswered questions. I know it isnt finished and Im sure Rye Guy is working on it still, but ROFL, I hate waiting    I guess what I'm saying is that I hate reading drama that cuts itself off, know what I mean? Now, my favorite fanfic I've ever read, in my own humble honest opinion, is Krieb's "The Best of Times and Worst of Times". It's realistic, funny, and makes the most sense out of mostly anything else I have read. I recommend it to every shipper out there. Ok. These are my thoughts and feelings, and my sermon is done now   
(( P.S. All the fanfics I have mentioned can be found from The Leela Zone website ))

 Ralph,

Over the past month I've seen your posts quoting "a source" in Rough Draft Studios, and now you mention you're in contact with famous historical figures like Layla and Dave Vincent.    I think you are the best-connected PEELER around.  Will you say hi to David X when you have coffee with him?     

Haha.  There's only one PEEL'er who has direct connections to DXC, and that's our benelovent dictator, mArc.

As for connections, I just took the initative to e-mail them and tell them how great I thought their stories and/or art contributions are.  As for Layla, I haven't heard from her in almost a year, but I did send her an e-mail two days ago.  Dave Vincent and I both love riding Harleys and plan to meet at Sturgis one day.  When his mother died last year, I was one of the first to send him a sympathy card via snail mail.  Little things like that will make friends with people very quickly.

You can make a lot of cyber-friends if you just drop them a personal e-mail and tell them how much you appreciate their contibutions.  I can count having e-mail conversations with people like Venus, El-Man (mainly an adult-material artist), Marcus, coldangel, PCC Fred, FemJesse, Layla, Dave Vincent, tnuk, Spacedal, SpaceCase, The Lesbian Leela, jle1993, and even a full-blown pissing match with Nerd-O-Rama.  There are others that I've had phone conversations with, but I won't include them because some of the topics can be personal info that they may not want getting out.

As for my 'source' to the revived Futurama, so much information about 'The Simpsons' movie is bogus, so I would have to guess that some of my info is questionable.  I do have it on good authority that Groening has retained complete control of Futurama and even though the themes and jokes will be for a more mature audience, it will not go the way of Family Guy and become vulgar.

The main thing is to extend the hand of cyber-friendship - you would be surprised how often it gets recipocated.

If my alzhiemers hasn't kicked in again today, if I remember correctly Layla is now teaching in some remote area of Canada and may not have active or reliable internet access.  Don't take it personally if you don't get an immediate response.  She's a real lady and decentg person - I've not known her to not respond - it just takes some time.

Does anyone think Fry might be developing technophilia?

I mean, he made out with a robot and in Love and Rocket he looked slightly turned on when he saw Bender 'playing around' with the ship's control panel.

Seemed the right thread to share that in.

Gee... uh... thanks for sharing?

You'd think so, but no.
 

And across the land of Gondor flames were lit, spreading the news, and causing much global warming. Blizzards and snowstorms started materializing across the planet. People huddled inside their warm houses and around their fireplaces, snuggling with their lovers. And music played for them...

Oceans apart, day after day...
And I slowly go insane.
I hear your voice, on the line...
But it doesn't stop the pain...

If I see you next to never,
How can we say forever?...

Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you...
Whatever it takes,
Or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you...

I took for granted, all the times,
That I thought would last somehow.
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears...
But I can't get near you now.

Oh, can't you see it, baby?
You've got me goin' crazy...

Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you...
Whatever it takes,
Or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you...

I wonder how, we can survive,
This romance...
But in the end, if I'm with you,
I'll take the chance...

Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
I will be right here waiting for you...
Whatever it takes,
Or how my heart breaks,
I will be right here waiting for you...
Waiting for you...
