I have been working diligently on the redux version of my first fanfic, originally titled "Curse of the One-Eyed Jacks". I started from scratch, which left me with a shorter script. It also let me fill in the major plotholes created by the last two seasons of the series with thick, black storytelling asphalt. This also came with the benefit of not creating more plotholes while trying to patch others like a child trying to stretch retesh dough.
That being said, a few of the last scenes in the final act are not coming along well, and I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to end it. Also, I'm changing the title to something less lame and more applicable. All in all, it's 98% done but its release is indefinitely postponed.

Sounds like a cool story you're working on there, DrThunder. Anyway, "The Road to Fanzipar" is coming very soon. Plus, I have some other fanfic ideas I would like to share:
Forrest Dumps: The Professor has a nervous breakdown. So Fry, Leela, Bender, and Zoidberg plan on taking him to the planet RedWood 77 for R&R. Which they do, but unfortunately, it doesn't turn out that way.
Fry Gets Knocked Up a Notch: Fry saves Zoidberg's life from choking via CPR. Then later he finds out he's pregnant by Zoidberg! Leela vowes to stay by Fry's side as Fry decides he wants to have the baby, but Bender is against Fry's situation as well as his decision.
Hey, we've all seen Bender and Kiff pregnant. Let me know what you think of these ideas.

I'm glad you're interested, Kurt, but I don't think I ever explained it. Besides, it turns out it's as big a failure now as it was four years ago. I'm in quasi-agreement with Venus about the Fry pregnancy-thing. If you made the theme of the story different than that of KGKUAN, you might be okay. It's hard to determine where you were going to take the story from the blurb you have. If, for example, you write a story about Fry wanting to keep the kid/squid/whatever (despite his near-total lack of responsibility and higher cognitive faculties) while the rest of the crew wants to see the Small Fry placed in a foster home or some other, more appropriate child-rearing setting, you'd have quite a story. Of course, you'd have to comedy* it up pretty well to keep it from being a taut, legal drama. There are a number of different routes you can take to make it a different story than KGKUAN, you just have to know which ones are too close to the episode. * "Comedy" is a verb. Who said it isn't?

I've started work on a new solo fic called "Burning Heart". My first in a little while. The current plotline is very fluidic at the moment, so what has happened in the early works I've sent to a couple of PEELers (they know who they are ) might change in time. Anyway, here's a little taster/teaser of what might/might not happen! Burning HeartThe Planet Express ship sat serenely on the burning hot beach, the waves of the Atlantic Ocean washing gently against its landing legs. The entrance hatchway is open and on the roof there are 3 deckchairs that until recently appeared to have been used, but there are no signs of life. After flying around the ship a few times, Amy decided it was time to land and find out what had happened to Leela, Bender and Fry. She carefully aimed her jet-pac controls, so that she came down on the top step, unfortunately as she landed, she lost her footing and fell down them to the beach. “Liu mang, you’re such a klutz, Amy” she yelled at herself, as she stood up and wiped the sand off of her sweatsuit and then carefully removed the jet-pac. Laying it neatly on the sand, she set off up the stairs. “LEEEELAAAA, BENNNDDDEER, FRRRRRY, why are you hiding?” she shouted numerous times down empty corridors and into empty rooms, before finally ending up outside the Engine Room. “What are the chances of them being in here?” she asked herself, as she tentatively pushed the door open. Before she had chance to react a faint humming sound she’d failed to notice suddenly got very loud, there was a blinding flash, followed by a brief spinning sensation, a strange feeling of being herself and then not being herself, then everything went black.

I guess I should note that while I'm in the process of releasing the rewritten version of my first fic, Curse of the One-Eyed Jacks, I'm beginning work on the next piece that has been festering in my mind. It uses the same drama/mystery format of my last two. It also focuses on religion the same way that my second fic, The Social Order, focused on race. The gossamer peace between three major religious forces in the Universe has been broken. The Space Pope calls the faithful to arms against their theological and territorial rivals. The other two major factions scramble to choose sides or meet the challenege. Soon, Fry, Leela, and Bender find the Universe embroiled in a largely non-governmental holy war that threatens life (and simulated life) as they know it. The only way to stop the fighting is to learn more about the mysterious history of the reptillian planet and track down a missing artifact. What they find, however, is not what they expect.Due out this fall, I imagine.

That's not a plot twist, that's symbolism!

Venus: It's symbolism apparently. But it's hard to explain my idea without saying that. Thunder: I know. I'm sure everyone is tired of reading about Fry or Leela in a coma. By which I'm still working on finishing reading Layla's stories. It's coming along nicely. But rest assure Dr, I don't intend Fry to be in the coma the entire time. JBERGES:...sorry. But I am still questioning, do you guys like this idea or not? And if so who would you recommend to help me write this. Because if I go through with it, I'm taking someone with me this time. Whoever that poor bastard may be .

Must...resist...breaking into...song...
Coma coma coma coma coma chameleon! It's a fanfic Where someone's sick. Literary skills showing through in a darkened mood. You know it's blue. You know it's blue.
Every fic is like an idol. But it reads just like the Bible. Every fic is like an idol. But it reads just like the Bible.
I'm a man who likes fanfiction. I'm a man who is well-read. For Fry and Leela, I have conniptions. When they're in bed. And they're half-dead.
[Chorus]
