I'm currently writing some fanfic, sorry I mean fan screeplays which is completely different.

Do any of these sound interesting?  I'm going to try turning the more complete ones into comics at some point.  Which idea sounds like your favourite? 

A Planetary Bromance
Fry makes a new friend, much to Bender's jealousy.  New faces join the PE crew.

Machinegirls
Bender gets into debt with the Robot Mafia, and to raise the funds, he forms a fembot girl group.  A Dreamgirls parody, but I'm also thinking of parodying other favourite music films, like the Commitments and Little Voice. A big tribute to classic 60s girl groups like the Supremes and the Ronettes and Martha and the Vandellas. #

Catastrophe! The Mewsical
The evil Thuban cats return, and this time, it's purrsonal.   A parody of the War of the Worlds musical, but with cats.  Will eventually form a Thuban trilogy, concluding with Escape from the Kitadel, where the crew are captured and taken to the Thuban space fortress, the Kitadel.

Death by Chocolate
The gang enter the Big Milky Way Bake Off, only to find someone is killing off the contestants, one by one.

The Cookieville Cuckoos
Leela's volunteering at the orphinarium goes awry when the orphans get taken over by an evil hivemind alien parasite.

In Other Words
Fry finds himself uncontrollably hopping from parallel universe to parallel universe.

MacFrye
A Macbeth parody.   All's fair in love and regicide.

Return to Cornwoood
The gang return to Cornwood, where an even greater evil then Mommon now threatens the fair kingdom.  Can Titanius reform the Fellowship and save Cornwood from the new shadow that threatens it?

Granarchy in the UK
Mom's status as most huggable tycoon is threatened when a new rival arises. 

The Joy of Decks
The Professor's new VR collectable card game takes the world by storm.

Murder on the Trans Atlantic Express
The gang attend a murder mystery party on the long obsolete Trans Atlantic Tunnel, only to find their fellow guests begin to get murdered for real, and the company that owns the tunnel have been cutting many a corner on safety....

I'm partial to "MacFrye" and "Granarchy in the UK," with an honorable mention to "The Cookieville Cuckoos" because I think the orphanarium is an underutilized setting/plot device beyond the original run (not entirely sold on the alien parasite angle, but "Leela volunteers at her old stomping grounds and hijinks ensue" on its own seems promising).

A Planetary Bromance
I, Roommate was good. This premise is a more direct followup than any existing episode, I think.

Catastrophe! The Mewsical
I never really liked the first Thuban episode, but it's a logical place to take an established part of the universe.

Death by Chocolate (or Murder on the Trans Atlantic Express)
It could work in the Lew Morton style, I think. His are very high on my list of funniest episodes of all time.

In Other Words
Maybe? I think some greater purpose would be needed, universe/time/etc jumping has been done. It makes me think of the Nibblonian storyline, though I don't think time-jumping is already in that one.

Glad you like, Gorky!   McFrye is definitely going to take a while to do, as it's a pretty big play.  So far the only part I've written is the opening, where McFrye and Bendquo meet the three witches.   I'm still figuring out whose going to be who, and how to make it science-fictiony, or if I should do that.    I can see I'm going to have sell you on the alien parasite in the Cookieville Cuckoos, but I'm writing it as a parody of John Wydnham's Midwich Cuckoos/Village of the Damned, so the alien parasite is integral to the premise.  Granarchy in the UK is turning out to be one of my favourites to write, I've figured out the beginning and the ending, and I'm having a lot of fun with Mom's rival.

Yeah, I think I am hitting a lot of similar beats with I.Roomate, so I guess it could work as an unofficial sequel.  It's the one I've made the most progress in.  It's more an introductory piece to everything else, so I would only post it along with another finished ep or two when I'm done, as I think people will think it's the least interesting overall, and I want it for people to read it, then carry on with one of the more...Futuramy concept episodes.   I'm annoyed because I came up with a much better title but forgot it.

I liked the first Thuban episode, but I can see why others don't.  I think the overall concept of the Thubans has a lot of potential, so this is why I want to do a Thuban trilogy of sorts.    I won't be making any Lolcats I can Haz Cheeseburger jokes though. 

In Other Words is going to be the finale, so while I have a general idea, it's going to build off themes and character arcs I'm going to establish and build up with the other episodes   It's going to be similar to the Farnsworth Parabox in exploring parallel puniverses, but it's going to be Fry jumping into the bodies of his otherworld counterparts and inhabiting the universes they live in.   I have to keep an eye out though, as the upcoming Otherwise episode seems to be another episode exploring parrelel universes, and I don't want my episode to be too similar.

Some of these would probably work better as "Anthology of Interest" segments rather than full episodes.

Which ones?  Some of them started off as three partners, yes

Also I finally remember the better title for A Planetary Bromance.   From now on its called Withnail and Fry.

The Macbeth parody, obviously, but also the murder mystery ones.  I'm thinking more because of the subject matter rather than story length.

Clever.

Thanks, I'm extremely proud of that one.    One good thing about the name Fry is how many excellent puns you can make with it.
