I'm doing some groundwork planning for chapter 5/6 of my fanfic right
now.

What I want to do is basically show a standard mission for the KS,
with Meg as a participant, and also forward a few of the background
elements of the story. One thing I want to do is include as many
subtle and not-so-subtle fandom references...

Especially to a few of the fics that sort of inspired my own.

But anyway, if anyone out there wants a small part in my fanfic,
either as a redshirt, a combat boomer that gets trashed, or just
someone wandering by on the street in the middle of a rampage, just
let me know.

Name, a quick description of who you/what you want to be, and maybe a
few lines of dialogue you might normally say, assuming you came across
a hardsuited vigilanté in the street. And maybe how you want your
avatar to die, if you're that way inclined.

Just note, I cannot guarantee an accurate description of character,
survival uninjured, or with dignity intact

Basic story of part 6 would be that the KS are hired to rescue the
mother and son of a Megatokyo industrialist. They've been kidnapped by
GENOM to leverage him towards selling up. Instead, he calls for help
and gets it. Want to show all the work that goes into a full blown KS
mission....

Also, any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated.

-Ian.

Wait.... you can recruit people in fanfics? When did this happen?

I want a part. The name would be under Dustin K, and i would be the
first person in the story to get killed, and my line would be "OHHHH
CRAPPP" BLEH, and i die.

Thats Oscar winning fanfic acting right there LOL :).

If by "Oscar" you mean the guy who wrote "Artemis' Lover"... ^_____^

(Dartz, if you meant "borrow characters from other BGC fanfics", then
I'm out of luck. I only used the canonical characters in my BGC 'fic.)

EU regulations changed about 6 months ago.... anyway.

Nah, I meant people from the fandom.... mostly because I thought a few
name-drops, maybe with references to fanfics almogside, would just
plain be a fun thing to do inside the story.

Only way you'd be allowed to do it is to allow that other people co-
write your story. Last thing people want is that someone else writes
about them without their control.

Who the hell is one-starring all the posts that disagree with Alemann?

Anyway, that's why I wanted to ask for people's permissions.... rather
than just outright doing it and irritating the hell out of people. I
have a couple of emails to send, aswell, but that's for another day.

What is this "one-starring" you speak of? (notices that both Dartz and
Alemann are using the Google front-end to Usenet) Ah, something that's
local to Google, I assume. The rest of Usenet doesn't do that.

As for who's one-starring posts that disagree with Alemann... it appears
that only you, he and Dustin use that front-end here. That gives us
three possible people, and I'm assuming since you asked that it's not
you.

Yeah.... Googlegroups. Unfortunately my ISP doesn't have a decent News
server.And I'm too cheap to pay for another one. Groups works fine
enough., only problem being it doesn't have a killfile And since I
normally use gmail anyway,...shrug.

Still, it remains an ongoing mystery, and one that I fear shall go
unsolved.
