Fanfic release dates

[Reply #80 on:]

Chapter 9 of "Futurama: Universe of Malice" is near completion, and should be available before the end of May. Beware though, this Chapter alone is bigger than any others so far. Over 23,000 words just so far. Stay tuned.

Yes, I know. I DO work for TLZ, you know 

[Reply #85 on:]

Just an update.

No Compromises II - will be about hopefully this year.

Minds Apart III - same as above.

[Reply #86 on:]

Flight Of The Valkyries may just make it this year too  Hopefully out by the summer in fact.

Whether I go on with "Retry? Abort? Fail?" - which I'm think of recalling "The dynamic duo of Liebe und Leben" - depends on how The Sting turns out, since I've recently discovered that the storylines are fairly similar, only reversed slightly. While not completely the same as The Sting looks like being, and with it's own original plot takes, it may be seen as being to similar anyway so I may give up on it to favour "The Red Planet".

[Reply #87 on:]

It's gonna be a while, but I'm planning a MEGA fic.  It's gonna revolve around Leela/Fry, but there are gonna be many parts to it.  However, I'm not the greatest at putting funny things into stories(unlike reality).  Any ideas for me?  I'd be very grateful.  Plus, if you want me to review your fics, ask.  I'm very good at that.  Hope you all are gonna read my fic when it's out...

[Reply #88 on:]

i'll read it! i promise! When's it gonna come out?

[Reply #89 on:]

coment on my fan fics, futurama_Hil. i will be making a version 2.0 to send to some other web sites, and will need to input.

also, looks like TLZ is kinda still in business. just read universe of malice part nine, and i say i LOVE it. the Alesia character development along with the memory loss, and how Fry and Alesia seem to be coming together. it all is genius really. teh other parts with what happenens on the ship, or with that meeting thing between the powers of the universe, is rather boring. also, the ending is really good, i can't wait to see what happenes in part ten, keep up the good work.

to Zed 85: go ahead and make your fic, we will see how similar it is or not.

[Reply #90 on:]

Sorry it's been a while all!

I'm not sure when it's coming out, Venus, but I promise I won't quit making it.  If you'd like, you could edit it.  Still, it may not be a while.  I still have very broad ideas that I need to narrow down.

And getak, just e-mail your fics to hilanimal@yahoo.com and I'll prooferead them for you.

[Reply #91 on:]

edit? sure i could give that a go.

[Reply #92 on:]

sounds good........... i cant wait..... yet i think i will have to.......

[Reply #93 on:]

maybe I'll break it up into parts so it will be out faster. I'm not very experienced, so do you think that's a better approach?

[Reply #94 on:]

breaking it into parts is acceptable, as long as you don't make the parts too small, that just gets annoying like that one fic 'Time Runs Short'
it feels like that thing is released one paragraph at a time.

[Reply #95 on:]

On the contrary, Time Runs Short is best in small bites. It keeps up the suspense. It just wouldn't have the same feel if you could read it all at one time.

Also, I'm looking forward to your fanfic, Futurama_Hil.

[Reply #96 on:]

Cool!  The parts will be medium sized, I think.  I'll send it to TLZ or CGEF soon

unless any of you want to edit it... just tell and I'll e-mail it to you.

[Reply #97 on:]

Don't forget FSAC takes fics as well 

[Reply #98 on:]

Sure!

[Reply #99 on:]

Well, if you don't mind, please review mine. I'm always eager to hear opinions on it, good or bad. 

[Reply #100 on:]

Just e-mail it to me at hilanimal@yahoo.com.  I'd be glad to. 

[Reply #101 on:]

I sat and read the entire Universe of Malice in one sitting the other night, and damn, well, color me impressed.

The characters aren't exactly straight off the show, but that's ok, they seem much more novel-ized, and that's fine by me.  The original characters are fairly interesting, though not exactly Futurama-esque due their missing of quirks or character flaws, but once again, that's ok because of the previous reasoning.

There's something about Zapp that leaves me unsatisfied though... can't quite put my finger on it yet, I'll have to think about it more.

Well....... it's got 9 huge parts, so it might be easier to go to http://www.leelazone.com.ar  and look in the fanfiction section there. Look for the name 'Kenneth White' and there they are. Of course, if you still prefer them sent, just say so 

[Reply #103 on:]

Sure, i don't care.  Do whatever works for you.

[Reply #104 on:]

well, im not sure if you will do this, but if i can get an advanced copy of universe of malice ten, i would be most grateful. even if unfinished still, i would love the chance to see what may be the final copy. if you are willing that is.

you can mail it to getak2003@hotmail.com
please

LOL    Nice try! Sorry, but I only give pre-release chapters to a few select friends when I need their help or opinions with things. Anybody else gets it when it's up, same as everybody else. The most I can do is give spoilers for what's in store for Chapter 10.

The staff that landed on Earth millions of years ago has something to do with the fall of Atlantis. Fry and Alesia confront the creature they have found. The DOOP and other fleets reach the planet eater in an attempt to destroy it. The Nimbus crew confront the bounty hunter, Outlaw. And more Zapp and Baldur related happenances aboard the machine.

I presume the fic becomes more widely available after the last chapter?

Depends what you mean. The story is currently only at two locations: TLZ and Fanfiction.net (the latter only being up to Chapter 8 so far), and can NOT be put up at any other sites without my permission. If somebody wants it on their site, they have to ask first. However, when the whole saga is complete, I will then distribute it around other websites myself. The simple reason behind this is because it's too much effort to update the story at 10 different sites every time a chapter is issued. Better to do it in one large swoop later on. However, as I stated, if somebody were to request the story for their site, then I would most likely accept.

[Reply #108 on:]

I think I asked in an earlier post, and got told it'll be sent when finished.

[Reply #109 on:]

Here's a teaser promo image for Chapter 10  (SPOILER)   

 http://www.americajunior.com/~imagehosting/kwhite/malice10.jpg

It's nowhere near as good as the original promo image, but this was a 'whip-up-in-a-few-hours' job rather than a 'weeks-worth-of-work-one'   

[Reply #110 on:]

that's not a knife, (pulls out longsword) THAT is a knife!

either way, things look pretty bad in that pic. still better than anything i can draw in a few hours though. i wonder how fry will get out of that one, just have to wait i guess.....

[Reply #111 on:]

I've got my first story ever up at Fanfiction.net. It's a pretty shippy story, but it's hard for me to write out and out comedy.  I hope that as I go along, that I can develop my writing skills and be a lot better.

[Reply #112 on:]

yeah, that's the main reason i never wrote a fic. Even though i got a great sense of humor (more like an easy sense of humor i find EVERYTHING funny)i can't come up with comedy to write. Anything i produced would come off like a drama from the lifetime channel.

[Reply #113 on:]

Me too.  And because of that, I've decided to make a practice fic before my big one(as you all have heard about).  So, for this one, i'd like to know if anyone would like to see a certain thing (i.e. Leela gets fired).  SO, basically, I want to know if there's something you'd like to see for my practice fic.  So, suggest away!

(BTW, my shippy big fic may not be nessacery after seeing The Sting...)

[Reply #114 on:]

Venus: Just write it! For personal enjoyment, first and foremost. (That is, if you would enjoy writing it, of course.)
It doesn't matter if it will come out "good" or not, or if others will like it or not. It's not real literature - it's fanfiction; and we all write it for the same reason.

[Reply #115 on:]

Yeah, Venus!  I'd love to hear your work (mainly cause you're a shipper like me).  I could help you out if you'd like...

Out of all my friends at peel,

you're the first.

[Reply #116 on:]

im thinking about it. i'd have to wait for a break in my schedule, which i guess gives me a lot of time for previsialization. i may do it just to get it out of my system but i'd probably be to chicken to post it.

[Reply #117 on:]

I am scared too, in case people hate it, but life is about taking chances, right?  I figure if I have people review it beforehand, it won't come out horrible. 

Oh, and sorry if I'm annoying you.  God, I hate that I have to be so friendly so I can be liked and welcomed!

[Reply #118 on:]

To both of you, and whoever else may be "scared" about posting fanfiction: IT'S FANFICTION. Fanfiction != Literature. It's amateur work in every way. We're all amateurs! Some are better than others, but errors are forgivable, and even if someone dislikes your work, it's not like you'll be losing a contract or a job or be assassinated. Don't worry about it!

[Reply #119 on:]

I agree with you Anarchist. I remember reading fanfics and thinking "Hey it'd be neat to try my hand at this." So I did. I was kinda surprised though. I expected to get some criticism from people, but nothing came. Pretty soon I learned to write criticism or no criticism. It's fun! So don't worry, be happy. Write a fic and post it. I'll read it
