The_Scream_Man Title: FF Chapter Rep: New South Wales AU Registered: May '00	Date Posted: 8/4/02 8:08pm Subject: The Fanforce comic...or the lack of it.
	OK, so I figured I should let u guys all know this, since a few people seem to still be waiting for it. I have decided not to continue with the Fanforce NSW comic. Now the reasons for this are many, and Ill try n explain myself since I feel pretty bad about it. firstly Im not really happy with it. With the exception of the 1st and 5th parts, I think that there are to many characters around and that just annoys me. I was starting to kill people off, but a storyline I wanted over in 5 parts was looking like it was gonna be 7 or 8. As well as that, as new people join Fanforce, I was more inclined to bring them in somehow, since it wasnt fair to leave some people out. it was all a bit to much. Also I was losing interest in it, which was making the quality drop. I just wanted the damn story to be OVER to be honest! It was going on, and it was getting dragged out. The next factor is more of a professional one I guess. I couldnt really ever DO anything with this story. I need something that I can eventually show off to a company and get em to let me do it for real, u know? FFNSWTC is like a fanfilm; I cant ever sell it. So I figured u should all know this. And because u wont ever SEE it, I should tell u what was going to happen in the comic. I had it mapped out for some time. Dark Sun Rising: Concluded with several major changes. Haliya tried to posess Oz, who had to much mental discipline for her, and shoved a feedback at her that put her in a coma. Sam and Josh had a battle, where we learnt that Sam had been exposed to an experimental drug that took away his personality and replaced it with another. Josh forced his way into Sam through the Force, and managed to bring the Sam personality back. Unfortunately this left Sam with 2 personalities, one good, one evil. He fled the scene. Kalor Vow Survived, but would be ina wheelchair from then onwards, and he only lived because Maes saved him. Kieca managed to undo the mental block that had been placed on the Shara who then had full access to the most powerful jedi powers anyone had ever seen. She managed to get rid of the Black Sun troops. At the end of DSR (in what was gonna be a prologue) the status quo ended like this: Josh left Fanforce in order to chase after Sam. Sara ends up being assigned to go with him. Haliya is left in a Coma, and Kalor is confined to a wheelchair. Laura leaves FF to become a full time doctor at Lightblade industries (The Jedi cover business) Craig wakes up, but feels deflated because he was beaten so completely. He eventually leaves without telling anyone, except to leave a note attached to his hat for Linda which says "Dont come after me, Ill come back someday" Paul takes command of a more streamlined FF group: Linda, Pigalek, Keith, Caz, Shara, D and Tek. Phil still works as the command liason. The next storyarc: Myself; Josh and Sara travel to England after Sam, where they meet Dagsy and Brett, to European Jedi who are assigned to them. Syrix Kahl and Gecko are also sent after Sam. They race to get to him, while Sam battles against himself to gain control of his mind. The next 2 bits were really vague. That pretty much it. Anyway, i just wanted to say a big thanx to all of you who read an enjoyed the comic. The comments and suggestions and support were greatly appreciated, and i really feel like i have learnt heaps just from having some people READ one of my comics. Im currently hard at work on a comic called "Before the Dawn" which i hope to have online very soon. SHara, Simon and Paul are all helping me with the title, and I aim to make it somethign that I can be proud of, and people will enjoy So thanx again, and sorry for not finishing the book.

	Okay, Craig. Understood. Your deserve props for a few things: 1) Doing it. Most people never even get pen to paper. They just talk about it and it never happens. You took it one step futher. 2) It rocked. People were genuinely interested in it and were waiting for the next episode to come out. And not just one or two people...... 3) You did it. You made it last for 4 or 5 issues. Even professional people like Todd McFarlaine have ideas that only last 2 issues. For these three reasons alone (even though there are millions of others) that makes you very successful. And aside from the fact that you have respect among your peers as a Comic book creator (which I think is the best) you also have the experience from actually doing it. You, as most people, have noticed the improvements in style, art and story from the first issue to the most recent. That will help you in your pursuit. Keep creating comics......it is your des-tiny. -----signature----- Chief Evil Overlord (CEO) of www.EmporiumOfEvil.com Keef's Koffee Shop (topic=7813533) Honorary FF-UKer (topic=4432550&page=32)

	....and how cool is it that you have an audience waiting for the next thing you do. Usually that only happens with huge stars !! Seriously. -----signature----- Chief Evil Overlord (CEO) of www.EmporiumOfEvil.com Keef's Koffee Shop (topic=7813533) Honorary FF-UKer (topic=4432550&page=32)
