Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Burter - 02-27-2007
I'm thinking about doing a side project based off the popular and awesome reality show, Heroes.
The premise is a bunch of people begin to discover they have powers. Extraordinary powers. This all collides into a bunch of mini-storylines where everyone weaves in and out of each other's lives.
Here's the catch: This would not an RPG, but rather an exclusive writing "club." A handful of main characters would be alternating writing storylines and chapters based on information I give.
For example, let's say it's a Spiderman story and Bobby is playing. I'd tell Bobby that in his chapter, his character gets the ability to walk on walls, but doing so in public causes another character (who would also be informed) to see him and follow him.
Chapters would be approximately 300-500 words. No novel posts. There would be "side characters" who would make cameos and stuff.
Now, here's the deal. If I did this, which I'm heavily leaning on doing, would you be interested and would you be active?

How often would we be writing.
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Burter - 02-27-2007
It would depend on your schedule. Someone who can write every few days would get a bigger role, and be expected to do so. Someone who can only write once a week would have a smaller role, but with more time to write
Just like a television show, if nessecary I can scrap characters if someone has to take a break or come with something new. It's all for the sake of fun, I don't want it to turn into a job. Hence why I only expect 300-500 words.
Obviously, if you can't write often at all, I'll just ask you to be a minor, temporary character

I'm interested and I could post often. Sounds cool, and knowing that Burter is planning this, it's almost a given(damn near is) that it will be fun.
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Burter - 02-27-2007
So long as people will be active. This isn't a side RPG, this is a full on project I would look back on a year from now and say "damn, we're still doing this"
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Grandpa Gohan - 02-27-2007
That'd be awesome honestly.
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Burter - 02-27-2007
If you are interested, please post such. Suggestions welcome.
Totally serious about this
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Blind Man - 02-27-2007
Heroes is ridiculously awesome. Especially tonight's episode, ish went DOWN!!!
I actually might be interested, but I know I would either lose the ability to stay active or would from the start not be able to be super active, but I'd still be interested.
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Hellfighter 17 - 02-27-2007
We'll see. If I am goign to commit, I want to seriously commit. i've been writing again - I even started a story idea for myself, that I want to be a novel, but that is just a dream. I have figured out a trick to get me started writing.
I take it if I offered my hat a few weeks from now you would tip it?
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Burter - 02-27-2007
@Blind Man
People like that would be minor characters, temporary or recurring. Everyone is welcome, from those who want to do a little at a time to those who want to write constantly. From those who want to play different characters every few months to those who keep the same character

Yes. I'll welcome everyone, just the type of character would change between those who can commit and those who can't. If you can, you'd start out minor and eventually end up as a lead role.
Like I said, if you can write, you're good, regardless of how often. But don't tell me you can write three times a week and fail to. That's the only rule. Commit with what you say you'll do.
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Toshiro - 02-27-2007
Book me in. Could do with actully writing something diffrent.
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Blind Man - 02-27-2007
Depending on when we start, I'm willing to pitch in as a sort of minor character, maybe like something parallel to the Haitian's role (not to say he's not integral cuz he is, but he's not around super often). Then hopefully I can move on up to something bigger.
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Nappa - 02-27-2007
I'm in.
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Aero - 02-27-2007
I'd be willing to do this, at any level really.
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Old Zangya - 02-27-2007
I am the most obsessed person on Earth with this show. I know every bit of lore, every bit of power, I understand some things that haven't been fully answered yet, and my favorite characters are Hiro, Claude, H.R.G, Hana, and Claire. Just to prove my awesome in-the-know ness:
Peter - Power Absorber
Hiro - Space/Time Manipulation
Nathan - Flight
Nikki - Duality
Jessica - Super Strength
D.L. - Phaser
Sylar - Many Powers
Claire - Tissue Regeneration
Hana - Picks Up Wireless Signals
Ted - Radioactive
Candace (New Hero Introduced in Ep. 18) - Unknown, possibly something to counteract Haitian's power
Isaac - Preminition
Dale (DEAD) - Super Sonic Hearing
Charlie (DEAD) - Eidetic Memory
Micah - Technopath
Matt - Mind Reader
Claude - Invisibility
Eden (DEAD) - Persuasion
Haitian - Memory Wipe, possibly blocks powers
Meredith - Pyrokinesis
Sanjog - Dream Invader
Company Man = the best episode yet. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW. I'm so in. My character's power is going to be telekinesis please, and if you ever need any behind the scenes help, I will. I AM THE MOST OBSESSED PERSON EVER!!!!!!
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Spencinator - 02-27-2007
I'd be active, but like two post every two weeks kind of active.
Personally, my hero would have the ability to control his body mass. =D
I also had a suggestion about which kind of abilities our heroes could have. We could get a list of abilities, and then do something similar to Chubbs Roulette where people pick a number and they get any ability at random. I'd think it really make the experience seem more realistic, kind of like you if you were in the same situation and you weren't even sure what your ability was.
Well, anyway, I'd totally do this thing.
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Grandpa Gohan - 02-27-2007
Burter, about how many people are you looking for? ^_-
Heroes Fanficion/Side Project - Burter - 02-28-2007
At least twice a week would be the regular poster. I plan on doing 2-3 a week.
I think Rad wants me to hold off on the forum while we're doing development for the reset, so I'll probably try to start it up in a thread.
Majin Buu, way to totally not answer my question. Good job. Enjoy watching us.
