...But... But... I've got tons of new ideas. I'm thinking a whole new approach, a fresh direction... New Costumes, New Codenames, New Characters, a whole different type of storyline... I'm thinking like "LMB on the Run!" or something...
Oh, okay...

We'll start a new one soon enough... sooner or later our creative juices will grow from trickle to flood and everyone will be excited and slapping out new chapters like mad!
My only request is that the Light Brigade be in the new story.
I've grown fond of Dormant Damsel, Nobody, Antler Lass and Robotwoman.
We didn't see too much of the others in action, though, did we???

Sorry I dropped off the map, guys! EDE and I were manufacturing about one chapter a day until last week. But I had a really murderous work schedule for a stretch that made it hard to get any online time at all. So I feel very responsible for this monster fizzling out.
Tellya what...we rest and recharge for about another week or so, then we pick up this same story where it left off! Except maybe we'll start a new thread to kick it off---maybe DOOM of the super heroes II"? EDE should start this one off with one of his patented 'story so far...' pieces. We'll certainly need it cuz this puppy has a lot of dangling and simeultaneous storylines going on (remember when I turned Omega Man back into France?)!!
If you agree to do this, EDE, it'll have to be a doozy of a summary! If you want to, you can use the last universal catastrophy as an excuse to clean it up a bit---I'm thinkin' the Dopple-LMBers might be casualties, for example...
So if everyone's okay with this (particularly EDE), we'll meet back here in...a week or so? Is that groovy with everyone? Don't take my word as gospel though guys---if y'all have a better idea of what to do next, I'm all ears! Just don't let the dream die!!!!

It sounds AWESOME if Eryk is willing to do the work!
If he's not, someone can just post a BRAND-NEW scenario to get things rolling on a new story!
Optimus-- As far as I'm concerned, you're LMB. True, Capt. Lightbulb was TRYING to sway you with his speedo-thingie-whatever, but you never switched over. (Unless, of course, you WANT to be in the Light Brigade... in which case, your LMB buddies will misss you muchly...)

Sounds like a reasonable idea to me! I'd gotten pretty burnt out on the story anyway, but I'm starting to come up with a few new ideas. We really do need to have regular contributions from folks other than me and Lardy, though. We both have our particular stregths, but it does seem to fall into a fairly predicatable pattern when its just the two of writing for a long stretch. I'm pretty good at imposing order on chaos, but I need people creating the chaos in order to make it a challenge.
And Quislet, btw, always creates the best characters. Non-Sequitor! Nobody! They were both instant classics!
Okay, so I'll start a DOOM of the super heroes , Part II thread in a week or so, and we'll continue from there.

We all created some genuinely fun characters and concepts. I guess my major contributions throughout Hot Summer Nights & DOOM have been Captain Lightbulb, the Flasher, Pornis and its associates Khan and Felice, and the kickass power of pulling things out of people's asses! Oh yeah...and I probably sexed the story up more than anybody else! Think so?
Funny thing is, Captain Lightbulb was just meant to be a throwaway character. I just made him up when someone ended the previous post with a line like, "anyone have any ideas?" and I ran with it. Slowly, I added new elements like his being the sole survivor of his universe and how he realised he was gay alluva sudden. People really seemed to like writing about him, and I found myself enjoying him as well! At one point, I thought I might kill him off. But I can't imagine doing so now. Funny, huh?
