"Mini-Story Coming Attractions"
|
LAST EDITED ON Jan-10-14 AT 00:44 AM (EST) by pjmoyer (moderator) [Fixed a couple of typos; added "Rerezzed". --G. 20110123][Updated "Quarantena" and "One Phone Call" status. Maybe I should make this an anchor thread? --G. 20110222] [Updated "Holiday" status; followed through on above musing re anchor thread. --G. 20110424] [Added "DSM Panic!" --PJM 20110627] [Added † under-construction indicator. --G. 20120217] For your edification and amusement, and the satisfaction of our entirely non-binding curiosity, here are a few Mini-Stories that may or may not be in the works now, and could very well be coming relatively soon to a discussion forum near you.
"Operation Archangel" (UF/EX) [serial]in which the survivors of the WDF Normandy go looking for revenge - and find that there are more important things to do. Done, 2012.11.28.

Done, 2014.01.10. † "Prodigal" (UF/EX) [serial]in which the Mars Division's finest deal with the repercussions of one of GENOM's lesser-known, but bigger, messes.
"Sonata No. 1 ('Quarantena') for Three Parts in C minor, Op. S20a" (UF/S2)in which what was supposed to be a simple social call for Corwin and Utena becomes the diciest day of the Great Summer Road Trip of 2405. [Originally struck because it had evolved beyond the mini-story concept, this has since been completed as part of Symphony No. 5. --G.]
"The Balance" (UF/FI)in which Mr. Edward Hyde, Esq., shows Dr. Robert Bruce Banner how to live at peace with, and obtain practical benefits from, the beast within him. [Done! --G. 2011.10.20] "Her Majesty's Commission" (UF/NF)in which Provisional Lieutenant Utena Tenjou is confirmed permanently in her new rank - and placed in command of the worst ship in the Royal Navy. "No One Left Behind" (UF/FI)in which a deep-cover Autobot IPO agent requires extraction from the Earth Alliance, and receives it from the highest possible level. "That Which Does Not Kill Us: Act II" (UF/FI)in which Kara Zor-El's jitkyundou training reaches a whole new level. "Separation Anxiety" (UF/FI)in which Cassandra Cain's parents discover that their daughter's education has proceeded in unexpected directions since they last saw her. "Chronicles of the Stig: Death Race 10,000" (UF/FI)in which the Stig and his evil counterpart race across a continent to decide the fate of a beleaguered people. Professor Enigma: "Weltanschauung" (meta-UF/FI)being the first episode of Rose Tyler's run on Professor Enigma, presented as a meta-story.
"Kissogram" (UF/GA)in which Gryphon gets stuck in the middle of nowhere on his birthday, and Kei arranges some company for him. Forgot to strike this one when it got finished. --G. "Trainee" (UF/New Albion)in which the Brigadier gets stuck in the middle of nowhere on his birthday, and DI Pond and Rose Mk 2 go to his rescue.
"The Other Side" (UF/FI)in which Annalise Fleming discovers that there was more to the 20th-century disappearance of the Ghostbusters than even the incident's one surviving witness believed. [Done, 2012.11.01. --G.]
"One Phone Call" (UF/FI)in which Geoff Depew gets into a jam on a job in the Corporate Sector. The Espos don't recognize his authority and will only give him one phone call... so he'd better make it a good one. [Done! --G.] "Technical Difficulties" (UF/S5)in which B'Elanna O'Brien demonstrates to her crewmates that she has what it takes to be a Klingon battle engineer.
"Holiday in the Sun" (UF/FI)in which something's wrong with the remote star Dholen, and Tali'Shukra vas Venachar runs the risk of entering geth space to find out who's responsible. [Done! --G.] "Rerezzed" (UF/FI)in which part of Don Griffin's collection of antique computer equipment behaves in unexpected ways. † "DSM Panic!" (UF/S5) [serial]in which various and sundry accidents and incidents occur during the latter half of DSM's 2409-2410 school year, especially to one Kaname Chidori Sterling. [Begun! --PJM]

"You've Had Some Cowboys in Here" (UF/NF?)in which we find out how many Time Lords it takes to change a light bulb. "Laura Kinney and the Llanfair Regiment" (UF/EX)in which Laura discovers that the Girl Guides of New Snowdonia are not quite as mundane as she might have expected. "Old, Unhappy, Far-Off Things" (UF/FI)in which Gryphon reflects on one of the less expected downsides of immortality.
"... But a Fire to be Lighted" (UF/FI)in which two young people from widely different backgrounds find meaning in each other at one of Diqiu's most prestigious schools. Done, 2013.??.??. |

I'd be happy to read any of these, but if I could pick only three that would definitely get written, I think my preferences would be in no particular order: "Sonata No. 1 ('Quarantena') for Three Parts in C minor, Op. S20a" (UF/S2) "Operation Archangel" (UF/EX) "Kissogram" (UF/FI) -- With great power come great perks. |

Any of these would be good, but my top five would be, from first to last: 1: "Sonata No. 1 ('Quarantena') for Three Parts in C minor, Op. S20a" (UF/S2) 2: "Holiday in the Sun" (UF/FI) 3: "Operation Archangel" (UF/EX) 4: "No One Left Behind" (UF/FI) 5: "One Phone Call" (UF/FI) |

Definitely hard to narrow down the titles to just the top three but...1. "Separation Anxiety" (UF/FI) -Always did have a soft spot for Cassandra. 2. "Weltanschauung" (especially if we could get some of the behind the scenes shenanigans :) 3. "The Other Side" (UF/FI) - Ghostbusters. in UF. Fantastic! with special quirked eyebrow for "That Which Does Not Kill Us: Act II" (UF/FI) ______________________________________________________________ "I recognise my failing and will be sure to correct it." -saying of the Vlka Fenryka |

>3. "The Other Side" (UF/FI) - Ghostbusters. in UF. Fantastic! It's not the first time we've seen them -- a franchise branch in New Avalon once interfered with a date between Raven and, IIRC, Hellboy. And given that Gryphon keeps calling Ido "Egon" in Scrapheap City Shuffle, Part One: Transformation, it seems pretty obvious that he knew the original Ghostbusters team (in their animated incarnations, at least). -- Bob ------------------- My race is pacifist and does not believe in war.

Nothing personal; just wanted to have finally got the answer to an obscure bit of UF trivia right, and now it has happened. ... *Blows noisemaker forlornly and affixes pointy cardboard hat to self.

1)Quarentena (Sonata for et cetera), because even when struck by plague UF!Tali'Zorah is the most adorable thing in the history of ever. 2)Trainee, because I have lusted after and drooled over the New Albion universe ever since its inception 3)Her Majesty's Commission, because there's a small part of me that hopes beyond hope that the 'worst ship in the Royal Navy' is a small, green, bulbous converted surface exploration vehicle bought from the Jupiter Mining Corporation and crewed by a robot, a cat-person, a hologram and a Scouser.A girl can dream, I suppose... --- "Together we will build an empire of a million shining suns." -- Dave, Dictator of Utopia. |

In response to your number three: Dammit, now I've gone and set the first 20 seconds of the Red Dwarf theme as my ringtone. I actually went another direction... The first thing I thought of was a wierd-ass combination of McHale's Navy and The Irresponsible Captain Tylor. ---- Now Playing: The Cat -- Tongue Tied (Single, 1994) When I saw you for the first time My knees began to quiver And I got a funny feeling In my kidneys and my liver... < THIS SPACE FOR RENT > |

LAST EDITED ON Jan-23-11 AT 11:06 PM (EST) >Good Goddess, you people can -choose?!- Can't speak for anyone but myself, but I certainly can. There's 3 or 4 on the list I'd like to see, and about 10 I don't care one way or the other. Personal preference, ymmv. Jeanne

D. All of the Above as a note I first thought "(UF/EX)" meant EF + NG:Exodus which would be awesome (and has been done already, given the Grendel cameo, Rei, Asuka, and Shinji stories) but I could see a DJ or a Jon being somewhat useful to Wedgies during exile...

Really not sure which ones I want to see most, but one did give me a question: > "Separation Anxiety" (UF/FI) > >in which Cassandra Cain's parents discover that their daughter's >education has proceeded in unexpected directions since they last saw >her. >Are Cass's parents in UF the same people they are in DC? They planned their campaigns just as you might make a splendid piece of harness. It looks very well; and answers very well; until it gets broken; and then you are done for. Now I made my campaigns of ropes. If anything went wrong, I tied a knot; and went on. -- Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington |

As far as I know, yes, unless DC's retconned it while I haven't been looking (which has been... heck, several years now). Their ultimate purposes in undertaking the project may have been different, though. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

I secretly pray that somewhere in the hierarchy of Time Lord society, their most gifted engineer is a squat, fat man in greasy overalls called Reg. And his TARDIS' chameleon circuit defaults to a rust-spattered Austin A7 with a chipped windscreen and a sign on the back saying NO TOOLS LEFT INSIDE OVERNIGHT SO PISS OFF YOU SLAAAAAAAGS. And I do not know why. I'm scared. --- "Yeah, I'm definitely going to hell/But I'll have all the best stories to tell" -- Frank Turner, The Ballad of Me and My Friends |
