Yeah, I can set up some new threads. Exactly what kinds did you want?

[Wolfblade]

By the way Luna, you've repeatadly requested fan fiction. Exactly what
kind where you looking for? Did you want fics specifically about the
Roughnecks, or just anything that's "in universe"?

[Lunaofeve]

i'm a big contuation fan, we have about 3 writers trying to finish the
show but life seems to get in the way. i'm a big Cannon girl myself
but anything other then Yaoi (hurts my poor little head), would be
great i can beta since i have no spelling or grammer skill but i would
be more then happy to talk roughnecks with anyone

[Lunaofeve]

well i am will to help in anyway i can.

[Wolfblade]

Anyway, I'm hoping I didn't appear too wierd with that last post (I
was being sarcastic about the 40K thing). In any case, I was thinking
about maybe doing a prequel fic; about when Razak, Redwing, and Zim
served together. Any suggestions?

[Lunaofeve]

hmm, they are not my deal but it would be intrsting to do them in
boot, and end with pestcontrol.

[Wolfblade]

Yeah, but for that to work Pest Control would have had to taken place
years before the series starts, and Razak and Redwing were just
becoming officers then (it would have taken Redwing years to make
General even on a fast track). Surely the three must have seen combat
service as enlisted men, but where? Trouble spots on Earth perhaps?

> > served together. Any suggestions?- Hide quoted text -

[Lunaofeve]

from my understanding there is a 10 year gap between the 2 wars.
razac became a green lt at the onstart and lost his arm befor creating
the Roughencks as we know it

[Wolfblade]

Do you know how long OPC lasted?

[Lunaofeve]

i think about a year, the show runs for about 2 years

[Wolfblade]

Anybody home?

[Lunaofeve]

yup, but i think the others are sleeping

*cracks an eye open* Well that was a fun nap. Anyone got anything new?

[Lunaofeve]

got told by a guy that used to work on the show that it would take
500k to make one episode, and that we are out of luck

i said, we can still hope and dream, and untill then FANFICTION

[Wolfblade]

Yeah, it sucks. I'd pretty much given up hope of them ever finishing
the series since Sony considers their contract fuffilled. I do have a
scheme that might have a chance of getting us something just as good,
but it's a long shot.

[Lunaofeve]

i would be happy with just knowing what happend, the script or
somthing anything

[Wolfblade]

You and me both. I heard that the voice overs had been recorded, but
were never animated. If sony would just realease the "story boards"
with the audio, then we'd know what happens. Heck, if we had the audio
we could probably recruit a team to animate (cg or 2d) it ourselves.
(Though I imagine Sony would be pretty pissed.)

[Lunaofeve]

i hear lawsut but it might be worth it...mabe not

[Wolfblade]

Well (I'm talking theoretical here) if "we" negotiated (i.e. get a
really good lawyer) with Sony and established the fact we wern't
planning on making any money off of it, they might sanction (or at
least allow) it.

it would cost a lot to just get seen

[Lunaofeve]

i could not think of anything to say so i kirbby danced

[Wolfblade]

LOL

[Wolfblade]

So am I gonna have to put a toe tag on this site and call it dead, or
are we still in buisness? Anyone?

[Lunaofeve]

i'm affraid so, really sucks to :( this had a good thing going

[Wolfblade]

Well hey, we're still here, and in my book that still counts as
activity. I'm not gonna let this site die. I'll try and see what Tphai
is up to. I just sent out two more intivations, so hopefully they
might sign on. There are alot of people out there that like this show,
it's just a matter of publicity for the site. I'll see what I can do
about that. Anyway, as long as you don't plan on bailing on me, we're
still in buisness.

[Lunaofeve]

i'm not sure what Tphai is up to talked to him on Aim the other day,
he has fallen off both sights

> > - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text -

[Wolfblade]

Yeah, he's seems to be pretty busy. Well whatever, we'll still
here. I'd thought I'd go ahead and announce current my fanfic
project(s). The first series I'm working on is called "Roughnecks: A
House Divided". Taking place five years after the show ended, SICON's
officer corps has all but been depleted. In a desperate attempt to
bolster it's ranks, SICON ordered that the most experienced MI squads
be broken up and their members reaasinged as officers; including the
Roughnecks. This was two years after the Battle for Earth. A House
Divided will be a series of short stories chronicling the lives of the
now seperated Roughnecks, called to command troops short on training
and even shorter on hope. In the face of this, some have chosen to
retire, accepting their citizenship and returning home determined to
put the war behind them. Others have risen to the challenge,
commanding their own squads in desperate battles spanning entire
sectors. On the whole these stories while show how the war has changed
the Roughnecks over the years, and the events leading up to their
inevidible reunion.

A second series I'd like to work on is called C.H.A.S.E., a story
about a new experimental CHAS unit that's much more than he seems.
Anyway, let me know what you think. If you like I'd be glad to send
you my drafts whenever they get finished.

[Lunaofeve]

wow sounds really nice, i;'m not much on beta-ing since i cant spell
but i would be honored to help

[Lunaofeve]

oh i forgot to ask, is this going to be rico/dizzy or not deall with
the "relationships" in the show

[Wolfblade]

Oh yeah, they'll definatly be "dealing" with their relationships...

[Lunaofeve]

SMUTTY SMUT SMUT SMUT....IT MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND

> > the "relationships" in the show- Hide quoted text -

[Wolfblade]

LOL...I knew you were going to say that. ;)

Actually, I think we'll have to worry more about them killing each
other than screwing each other.

Diz has it in for Rico, it'll be explained. :P

[Lunaofeve]

NOOOOOO!!!!!!! can i get mabe one tinny winnny little
lemon....PLEASE :)

[Wolfblade]

(amused chuckle) I'll see what I can do... ;)

[Lunaofeve]

what there are only 2 roughnecks lemons rico/higgins and dizzy/carmen
(from the moive)..........were in the world are all the perverted fan
writers

[Wolfblade]

Woops, misread you there, LOL. (Haven't heard that term "lemon" used
in awhile, *smacks forehead*) In that case, sorry, no lemons. I think
alot of potential perverted fanwriters never learned to write, as they
were too busy watching porn vids. Personally it's not my style. While
I'm as much of a fan of flagrant sexuality as the next straight male,
I personally don't feel it does all that much to advance a storyline.
I always felt suggestion and implication were more artistic (and
frankly, less time consuming).

[Wolfblade]

Anyway, now that I've made myself sound like a babbeling idiot...

[Lunaofeve]

............wow, i think that just summed up most of my love of
fanfiction......and mabe my life......werid

lol oh well i am happy in my little world of pervertion and wow
playing.

and as long as it is roughnecks i will be happy, i can get my smut fix
from the Inuyasha fangirls

[Wolfblade]

LOL, hey, as long as you're content right?

Anyway, here's a sample from one of the House Divided stories I'm
writing. I'm really my own worst critic, but I'm reasonbly satisfied
with this paragraph.

Roughnecks: A House Divived - A Fury's Tale (EXCERPT)

"Lieutenant Isabelle Flores stood propped up against a tree, taking
a draw off a cigarette that refused to stay lit in the humid jungle
air. Cursing under her breath, she drew a lighter from the pocket of
her fatigues and attempted to relight the smoldering butt. As usual,
no matter how many times she struck the pin, it refused to ignite.
"Damn thing" she swore quietly to herself. Suddenly a golden flame
flickered into existence as the dysfunctional lighter finally
relented. Having relit her cigarette she snapped the lid shut,
pausing for a moment to read the engraving on the nickel case:...)

As you can see, the Roughnecks have gotten rougher in the past few
years...

[Lunaofeve]

i can tell, sounds awsome though...going to be a ride that is for sure

i'm really bad at reviewing bits of storys, but i really like the
tone

> > from the Inuyasha fangirls- Hide quoted text -

[Wolfblade]

It's going to be a ride just writing it. Right now I'm trying to iron
out a chronology from the original series up to my stories five years
later. That's alot of design work!

A quick diversion off topic: I imagine you've had a chance to look
around the site. Is there anything you think could be changed or
added?

> > - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text -

[Lunaofeve]

nothing thaat i can think of at the moment, i will let you know though

[Wolfblade]

Have you ever tried writing Roughnecks fics?

[Lunaofeve]

i cant write, i'm LD like that, i just have a problem geting things
out of my head

[Wolfblade]

I know how you feel. I just recently found the courage to pick up the
pen. I found the best way to learn how to write is to read other
authors' work. If you want to write sci fi short stories, then read
sci fi short stories. Note how they write, how they develope dialogue,
how they switch views between characters, everything. That's how I
started to understand how to write. Another thing I'd reccomend, read
"How To Write Science Fiction That Sells" by Ben Bova. That book has
alot of great info and tips, not just on sci fi but on writing in
general. It's really easy to understand, and it helped me alot.
Learning it ain't easy, but if you put your mind to it, eventually it
starts to make sense.

In any case, writing Roughnecks sequels might not be nessacery. I just
had an epiphany: Mongoose Publishing, the company that makes the
Roughnecks role playing game and miniatures game, bought the rights to
Roughnecks if I'm not mistaken. THEY own it now, not Sony. Which means
if their Roughnecks games and comic books continue to be a commercial
success (as they have been), then Mongoose might feel complled to
release some direct-to-dvd sequels. :)

There may yet be hope!

[Lunaofeve]

ALL PRASE MONGOOSE!!!!

i read tons of fanfic from all genras, a lot of what keep me from
writing is from when i was a kid....it just was not safe to write
things down so i have everything in my mind, i could tell you storys
and plots but puting on paper is just not going to happen right now

[Wolfblade]

Yay! I finally succeded in deleting that damn spam comment. Now I have
to approve all noobie members before they can post, so that shouldn't
happen again.

[Lunaofeve]

[Wolfblade]

Hey Tphai, glad to have ya back. (to answer your question, acutally I
don't have AIM, I use Yahoo). Glad to see everyone's keeping the
discussion "interesting", LOL. I have a proposal for yall. Seeing as
we're breaking into the new year I'm looking to start work on a
Roughnecks promotion project on YouTube. I plan on making trailers for
each campaign, followed by a megatrailer. Any more ideas on how we can
spread the Roughnecks madness?

[Lunaofeve]

other then tie people to chairs and force them to watch the show ( i
do this to my freinds...w/o the rope) we have to find away to orgaize
the people who are out there

[Wolfblade]

Well the problem isn't that there isn't enough fans, it's that the
fans that are already out there (and there's alot of 'em) think
they're the only ones. We're scattered all over the place without a
central hub to gather. That's why I created this site. We might just
have to start spamming the Roughnecks vids on youtube so to speak.
Placing a message in the commments "that if you want a place to chat
Roughnecks and help revive the show, message me (ie whoever placed the
comment) and I'll send you the link." I did that with one of the
Homefront segments, and it's responsible for almost half the members
on here.

Think: How many people did Sony want on that petition the finish the
show? 40,000? And how many people log on to YouTube EVERY DAY? Think
about it.

We can do this, we just have to get creative (and annoyingly
persistant).

[Lunaofeve]

well sounds like you have thought this out :), i will add messages to
my vids
