I know the stuff that was posted is going through editing, so I don't know how that's going or not. But I agree with docarrol, we should start posting and having more discussions to generate interest in this again. It's kinda sad to see that it's gone by the wayside.

When someone here gives the A-ok I'll start formatting them for DA and post it.

Gyah! *is massively embarrassed* I … haven't really done more than precursory editing. I've gotten sidetracked with life, and novel. If anyone else wants to take up the bulk of the editing work, they are more than welcome to do so. I even have a document compiling all the first act scenes, if they want it…

With the way things are going it honestly feels like the project is going to fall through due to the lack of interest. :/

I'm simply waiting for things to be together enough for the artists to really get involved.

Tell me what to draw and I'll draw it.
I don't really know what to do O_o;

Which is why what is written so far needs to be finalized before any art is drawn.

Although, I'm taking a hiatus from the DPOC. I need to finish what little commission work I have first and well the lack of interest lately is making it pointless to post here.

I feel a whole boatload of guilty about not doing a better job maintaining the focus and momentum on this project. [hangs head in shame] I'm willing to give it another try if you all are; please post here if you are still on-board for writing some more scenes.

Darth-Frodo · **Posted:** Wed May 21, 2008 9:48 am

I'm on board. I feel bad that I haven't gotten the scene finished that I already have assigned for me, but I'm hoping that as soon as I secure a job for the summer I'll have a more regular schedule, that and after this Saturday my best friend is going off to work at a summer camp where she won't have internet, so we've been online constantly with each other in the hopes of surviving the time apart >.< But after that I should have a lot of free time for getting that scene finished.

But yes, I am still totally interested =D

I've got finals next week, and then a house cleaning frenzy leading up to my Grandma visiting at the beginning of July, but after finals I should be able to devote more time to fan stuffs again!

I don't think it's any one person's fault. We all kinda drifted, here. But I'm still up for it!

Goku-san · **Posted:** Sat Jun 28, 2008 7:54 am

If nothing happens soon, I may just drop out of the project all together...Focus on my comic and my own art.

Goku-san, of course you should pursue whatever interests are calling you! I guess the the question is whether you would even consider returning to the project sometime in the future if something should happen. But if you need a completed, fully-edited story in order to do any artwork at all, then I fear you will be disappointed.

Somehow, I doubt it will ever happen. Y'all feel free to blame me. [hangs head in shame]

Firefury Amahira · **Posted:** Tue Jul 01, 2008 2:55 am

It's not anybody's fault- I fear the project is mostly a victim of the fandom shrinkage. With no new canon material, most of us fans are getting into other stuff, relegating DP to the back burner or less active fannish stuff.

I think the project isn't going to drop completely- it'll just be going very... VERY slowly ^^;

Goku-san · **Posted:** Wed Jul 02, 2008 5:42 am

It's not that I don't have a lack of interest in DP..But what is the point of spending 6 hours doing art for a project that looks like it's going nowhere?

If in the event the project does actually go somewhere, then yes maybe I will return to work on it. But for now..I'm not going to waste my time for nothing. I do that enough as is.

Asatira · **Posted:** Thu Jul 03, 2008 2:35 pm

Alert me when you guys get something concrete that I can help illustrate. That's all I've got to say.

Okay....

Let’s try this over again. I put the first four scenes of Act II up for bidding back in February, but only Kismet managed a draft. So these three are up for bids again, anybody’s welcome to give them a try. Or, we can discuss them anew. I’ll also post an outline of the whole story for those joining us more recently.

Kismet, if you’re out there, do you mind if I do a re-write on your draft of Act II, Scene 1?

Up for Grabs:

Act II, Scene 2
At school, Danny brings Sam & Tucker up to speed about Jack's speech at dinner the night before, plus whatever further weird stuff happened overnight. Dash stuffs Danny into a locker, Danny can’t get out.

Act II, Scene 3
At home, Maddie talks to a police officer about the neighbors’ complaints while Jack fields multiple requests for interviews.

Act II, Scene 4
34 beakers are left in the lab, 34 beakers in the lab; if Danny goes intangible and drops one down, 33 beakers are left in the lab....

Here’s the outline of the complete episode, from my notes. It’s been a few months, so please feel free to correct me if I’ve missed anything. Completed scenes are in italics.

####

Teaser: Vlad sabotages the public debut of the Fenton Ghost Portal.

Opening Credits

Act I, Scene 1a – Immediate aftermath of the accident, still in the lab.

Scene 1b Meanwhile, upstairs, Jack and Maddie try to mollify their financial backer. Tucker or Sam come up to alert them to the accident.

Scene 2 Jack and Maddie determine that Danny may have some sort of contamination, take him upstairs to the Ops Center to be examined.

Scene 3a The next morning, a neighbor just misses seeing a ghost destroy her flower garden.

Scene 3b Danny discovers that he’s invisible as he doesn’t see himself in the bathroom mirror. He barely avoids being discovered by Jazz.

Scene 4 Downstairs in the kitchen, Maddie and Jack fend off angry neighbors who learned about the Portal from the morning news. In addition to the damaged garden, we learn about several other minor ghost problems.

Scenes 5: Danny, Sam and Tucker see a ghost (the Box Ghost) for the very first time. He doesn’t yet make the connection between the blue breath and the arrival of the ghost. Danny transforms again, back and forth, and resolves to ask his parents about what is happening to him at dinner that night.

Scene 6: Danny waits for his opportunity to bring up the subject at the dinner table, but Jack makes a speech about how much he wants to dissect a ghost, scaring Danny into silence. (Possible distraction of Danny struggling not to float away from the table while Jack is speaking.)

Commercial Break

Act II, Scene 1 On the way to school, Danny sees several ghosts doing minor mischief, as his ghost sense goes off again and again.

Scene 2 At school, Danny brings Sam & Tucker up to speed w/ exposition, Dash stuffs Danny into a locker. Danny can’t get out.

Scene 3 At home, Maddie talks to a police officer about the neighbors’ complaints while Jack fields multiple requests for interviews.

Scene 4 34 beakers are left in the lab, 34 beakers in the lab; if Danny goes intangible and drops one down, 33 beakers are left in the lab....

Scene 5 Parent-teacher conference (Jack and Maddie with science teacher). Danny watches the cuts on his hands heal before his eyes. Jazz eavesdrops in the hallway, perhaps on her way out of the library with psych books.

Scene 6 Jack and Maddie can’t take Danny home, they have to head to the TV station. Jazz offers to take Danny home, but takes him to a psych clinic instead. They argue in the car, while Danny has intermittent invisibility problems— which ultimately get Danny stranded outside the clinic.

Scene 7 While walking home, Danny calls Sam & Tucker and arranges to meet them. Then he is attacked by Dash, accidentally escapes by floating. Eventually transforms in mid-air and takes first tentative flight.

Scene 8a: Jack and Maddie’s TV interview. Continues as voice-over for attack scene.

Scene 8b: Danny is attacked by a ghost weasel and eventually is thrown to the ground, where he transforms back to human. The weasel loses interest and flies away. Sam and Tucker find Danny where he fell.

Denouement: Do we need one? Most DP episodes end with some sort of lighthearted/funny moment.

Well, I don't know if this one's up for grabs, but I'd be interested in writing Act I, Scene 6. I kinda think that one's a bit necessary to write before writing Act II, Scene 2 since Danny talks to Sam and Tucker about the dinner conversation that happens in Act I, Scene 6...>.> That's the trouble I was finding when I chose to write II-2, since I started it but really couldn't figure out what to write because I didn't know the details that were going to happen in I-6. So, if I could, I'd like to request I-6 since I kinda had some thoughts about it from thinking about writing II-2.

Now just a warning, I'm soon going to be without internet until the end of August, but I'll have my computer with me so I can still write, I just won't be able to put it up until I get back =D

Tell you what, Darth-- would you be willing to do both?
