Do believe enough folks to warrant the OOC. Still uncertain how positions will shake out, though if worst comes to worst, I'll put myself in a spot of need.

I just finished The Secret History, a very Gen X book. Never Let Me Go before that, which I'd recommend to any writer outside the MFA atmosphere who wants to know emotonal restraint.

did someone say star trek?
Yep. ^_^
<Snipped quote> <Snipped quote>Oh, so. What my original plan for Helena was. ^_^ One of two 'faces' of the neo-Mafia movement in Gotham along with Rupert Thorne's son. Sound okay?
I'll put up an OOC soon. Let me know what role you might want out of the starship list. And for those that don't know it off the top their heads:
Captain
Executive Officer
Helm Officer
Operations Chief
Security/Tactical Chief
Chief of Engineering
Chief Medical Officer
Bertinelli family is still around...How involved in crime do you want her?
Well, I want to bring the Mafia back into Gotham City. Though I need to readjust my plans for that. Could be a good place for Jason.
I stop writing.
Stupid, maybe, but effective. Eventually I'll recharge my literary batteries, and be back at it.
If that's no option, just continue to write a little bit each day, forced or not. Just limit how much you write--you'll make up for it by writing SOMETHING every single day.
<Snipped quote by Ruby> Lex underestimates the power of the Bat-Bank Account! Wayne for Mayor, 2015. (I swear I'm only half-joking with that.) As for exactly what Jason will be up to, I imagine he'll be generally messing with the Mutants and other such ne'er-do-wells' plans, after he gets all his things moved back into the Manor, of course. He could possibly enroll at Steph's campus for something to do outside of brooding in the Cave? That or I'll just go ahead and have him start his whole Matches Malone gimmick, if that would even come in handy for Lex/Joker's plot? Hmm. Lots of possibilities regarding what Jason does out of costume.What sort of Matches stuff would he be getting into?
Okay, so we'll try to stay within the framework of what's already going on.
That in mind...
Lex Luthor paid the Joker to kidnap the Mayor, and hand the body over to a new criminal gang in Gotham named the Mutants. (Yes, from The Dark Knight Returns.) What Luthor had to give the Joker to get him to play along might terrify you. Lex does this to cause a special election for Gotham's Mayor, and to cause headlines that Batman is turning Gotham into a war zone---not a safe city. The Mutants' play along to gain instant infamy, and because their secret master wanted bait. The secret master, the vampire known simply as the Monk when he's around (and the Mad Monk when he's not), KNEW Batman wouldn't be around with Freeze's actions. He wanted Batgirl and Robin. Damian lives because the Mad Monk willed it; he wanted an explosion big enough to incapacitate...not kill.
He underestimated Batsuits.
Luthor attempts to make Gotham's elite and political powers his proxy after realizing he fights a two fronted war with Superman and Batman teaming up so frequently to foil him. Luthor plans to have his candidate, Hamilton Hill, win the special election. Luthor seems to have allies within Gotham elite, but so far they're staying mysterious.
The Mad Monk, in true classic vampire horror fashion, begins snatching girls from Steph's campus. Batgirl's going to notice, and eventually get herself kidnapped. Meanwhile the Mutants begin to rebel against the control exerted from the vampiric Monk, or maybe just from the awful things he's done to them.
Two story threads that begin together but stray off in separate directions so people can go between the two, or stick with one if they get an idea for it, etc. This was the story plan after the 'Night Out' mini-episode.
So, tell me: how's your character fit into the above? That is, how do you WANT them to fit into the above? Surely we can spin some plates and make everyone happy.
I'm leaning toward the Reboot version due to the fact that it is so open that we can basically take the storyline and make it the way we want it to go instead of feeling like we have to follow a preset storyline... Just my two cents worth...
<Snipped quote by Elvenoff> Um... where does it say we're going to have canon events as anything more than a backdrop?After three shows, novels, movies, games, etc, I can understand Elvenoff's point of view. But I'm a pretty good storyteller, and I know the Trek universe really well, so I'm confident we can do a canon-verse modern story and it not feel like re-tread to anyone.
