True, but I do like the minute reference to Danny being a superhero, probably just in jest, and then having Danny refute it by just wanting the powers to go away or just go back to pretending to be normal. It fits in nicely with the whole pre-MM situation while also providing Danny with a superhero name for when he finally decides to do it.

Hear, hear, I second that. A passing reference to one or both would be great if the writers could work it in. Good set-up for later, good in-jokes, good times… ;)

lol It should be really simple to work in, especially during one of the last couple of scenes in Act II.

yeah that sounds good to me, just a quick reference. Any thing more would take away from the current state danny is in. Hes not a superhero yet, hes just a scared kid who wants to be normal.

Okay. I've let this thing languish long enough. Kismet, if you're still interested, take scene #1. Darth-Frodo, take scene #2. I'll work on #3. We'll put off the big beaker scene for the time being.

the enthusiam for this has really dropped.

I f i was a better writer i'd help, but i terrible at writing, which i why i'll stick to my stronger points. Critique and art.

Sorry. I am working, slowly, on editing what we've got so far. I've just been busy with life.

Hopefully the lull in the project is due to Life and will improve in a few weeks. I'm sure a lot of the uni-aged members have midterms right about now.

The lull in the project is probably also for the fact that Marmel hasn't joined in quite yet =\ I'm sure that he will eventually, but the momentum we started with has definitely faded.

On it, Blue! =D

Yeah..which probably explains the lack of artists on my end. So far only two people aside from Feri and myself have said they're still interested in it. If no one else comes forward I'll have to divide the scenes you guys write between the four of us to storyboard and illustrate (possibly animate if we get that far).

I'll totally get on it ASAP! I just finished my midterms so I've got the time now, but I know the other two state universities here have midterms next week, so that could explain a lot. Like Kali said, life's just getting in the way for most people right now =(

um where has everyone gone? No ones posting anything anymore. did the enthusiasm die so much that we are giving up?

Darth-Frodo · **Posted:** Thu Apr 03, 2008 11:26 pm

I really hope not. I love this project and all that it's doing. I'll admit that I haven't had much time to work on my assigned scene and I assume that's what's happening to everyone else. That's probably what's got the hold up right now.

It's chugging along slowly.

Guys, I know life gets in the way, but even a quick mockup of a scene would be helpful. I sat down a few weeks ago for five minutes and chugged one out without really stopping to think... anything that could be altered WILL be picked up by the editors and fellow writers, rest assured ^_~ So any time you can contribute would be massively helpful.

Are some of us going to have to double up on jobs if only a few of us are actually still working on the project?

I'd pitch in on some writing but I'm not sure how good my writing is.

Kismet · Moderator

Eh, I dunno about working in both writing AND art... I'm willing to adopt another scene if it's necessary, or work with someone else. If you'd like to try out a scene, Goku-san, by all means go for it! But don't feel compelled to if you're not comfortable with it.

Asatira · **Posted:** Sat Apr 05, 2008 3:51 am

I'm simply waiting to get my assignment as an artist.

vaporeone · **Posted:** Sat Apr 05, 2008 5:13 am

I can help out by throwing suggestions, comments, notes, etc....
I'm willing to do a scene or two I guess... I'd really like to throw in some ideas for Act II, scene vi (whichever scene had Jazz driving Danny home) if not write it myself...
I can switch between artist and writer if you're lacking people... I actually enjoy storyboarding... I can animate, but I don't know if we'll get as far as that yet.

I've got a few suggestions, but I think I'll talk about the most important ones you guys might want to hear...

When I read over the outline for Acts I and II, I saw that Act II was missing scenes i-iii...
My idea... maybe give Danny a dream sequence? We know that he's pretty darn afraid of ghosts, maybe turning into one is going to haunt his dreams? Yes, forgive me for the pun, but the "haunt" was necessary.

Another random idea that I juggled around with Goku-san... Although it might conflict with an idea I posted in Act I, Scene iii, but maybe we should introduce the reason why Dash started picking on Danny in the first place? Maybe he had one of his mishaps involve Dash?

(I haven't skimmed through the entire thread yet, so forgive me if someone's already suggested these)

Darth-Frodo · **Posted:** Sat Apr 05, 2008 8:29 am

I don't know about everyone else, but I had always seen the trouble with Dash something that had been long in the making. It looked like a rivalry that had been set up in junior high or maybe even elementary school depending on how soon Dash assumed his bullying role. It just seemed to severe a hatred and too regular a punishment for it to have been newly formed, but that was just always my opinion *shrug*

Goku-san · **Posted:** Sat Apr 26, 2008 10:07 pm

Is everything that has been written so far in their final form? If so I can start uploading the written stuff onto the DA account.

My personal vote, unless someone has a serious objection, would be to start posting now, maybe generate some additional interest/enthusiasm both here and in the larger fandom outside DPOC.

Then, if any major changes do come up later, we can always release the revised work as v1.0.

('Course I'm not actually one of the authors, so it's not my work going up in front of the eyes of the world. If it were, I doubt I'd be so cavalier about rushing things ;) )
