ULTIMATE Secret Wars *CLOSED*

[Kevin Perrine]

< long form> Too tell you the truth when I first was reading it, I didnt like the comic panel descriptions but as I went on it really gave me a whole comic book feel and helped me jump from team to team, I also like the style of writing that you are using.

<short form> Me like!

A quick suggestion, don't use ooc when you start your descriptions, it breaks up the flow of the story, use a different font or colour to indicate ooc stuff. I realise that its a minor thing but hey, you asked...

nice feedback - I really appreciate it... keep it coming as needed.
I like hearing ideas and things you'd rather have different (ie. problems) BUT I also like hearing good stuff too if you have it to offer.

Good suggestion on the OOC... I've been sticking with changing color/size/italics - generally my idea is:


1. main default text = stuff that would be written in the panels of a comic for descrption.

2. dark grey text = out of character info describing the way the comic would be set up... describing panels, splash pages, pans, zooms, etc...

3. silver bold text = In-Character NPCs dialogue

4. silver italic text = In-Character NPCs thoughts

5. quote blocks = pulled out quotes or idioms that reflect the story (like the quote on war at the beginning.


make sense?

on the comic panel descriptions...
if people enjoy it a little I'm happy with everyone describing panels, pages and even covers eventually in this manor.
My thought is that comics are SUCH a visual illustrated medium that I'd like to "show" people what I'd be envisioning if it WHERE a comic you'd buy on the rack...

the writing style... I don't really have a "style" I just write.
I hope that I can emulate that Mighty Marvel flavor a little with the Ultimate touches (ie. the location, date, time stamps and such).

I also hope that I can write the dialogue a little different, fun and appropriate for NPCs.

I like it

Though I am a bit confused. Who, exactly, said the "jackpot-tiger" comment? I assumed it was Fury, but it seems uncharacteristical for him.

heheh...
YES - that was Col. Fury saying it.

Yeah - here's my thought on that......
The idea was that MJ was coming over (for their first "intimate" encounter). With opening the door up to Nick Fury I thought it would:
1. be funny
2. be ironic in a way
Because THAT is the same line that MJ first said when her and Pete met the first time in the original storyline long ago.

How/why would you explain it.
It might seem uncharacteristic (it is) BUT to explain it, BEYOND the "easter egg in-joke" from the original MJ meeting - you could assume that Nick knows pretty much EVERYTHING about Peter (Spiderman).
So if/when MJ said that to him you can bet Nick was watching it on tape getting a laugh... HECK he COULD have been goofing around with Cap or Tony and TOLD them he was planning on using the line on Parker when he went to get him!
So Fury said it to be - funny and ironic, since he was also SURE to know what Pete and MJ planned for the night alone.

but mostly I wrote it for the Easter Egg In-Joke factor, like many writers do. ;-)

make sense?

I was thinking it might be something like that. It just really confused me as that is (pretty much) trademarked MJ, and she was being harrassed by S.H.I.E.L.D agents at the moment.

OKAY...
here are some little questions/thoughts for the current PC posts.......


Mr. Raven:
What's your thought behind the video tape? I'm assuming it's possibly a movie deal thing? Just a minor question I had about it...
-kev-

Its an extension of the Xtreme Sports stuff Warren has been producing before he joined the X-Teams.

Its sort of whenever he can he will produce a video for the websites and distribution just to keep his hand in for the fans...

Gross!!

But some might ask - why not just roll in with a little less attraction...
Perhaps a black Hummer, maybe even just a stretch limo, or a cab??
Why?

'cause, dat ain't the Fury style 'sucka!!
as the Colonel smirks....

"...Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot..."

Okay, that's just wrong. The reason "Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot" is such an awesome, memorable line is because it's freakin sexy! When Fury says it, it's kinda gross.

 

[Bihlbo]

To everyone

Hey, just a reminder, please put your character's name in the subject line. I have a really hard time remembering who's playing who. Please.

It's IRONIC yah numbskulls (said in a happy fun way)...
and
I'd imagine SOME people would like if a big guy like Fury said that to them... it could be freakin sexy. ;-)
Not me...
Not that there's anything wrong with that......... ;-)

PLEASE Police Your OWN...
We STILL need the following folks to get me character sheet Stats.
(If you've sent them to me and I've misplaced them I apoligize, lots of heroes to manage)

Please mail them to: kperrine@aii.edu
No exceptions - I manage the Secret Wars from THAT email address alone.

We also need to get each character introduced in their mundane situation, whatever that is... If you OR one of your teammates (ie. Ultimate, FF, X-men) are listed below, please rally the troop and get going.
I hope to start the WAR by the end of the week!

CAPTIAN AMERICA - the Ultimates

Hey - EVERYONE has been doing a great job so far posting in the story thread...
Little reminders.

Since there are SO MANY characters to keep track of, try and remember to post your Hero's NAME & Team (if you have one) in the "TITLE" of the post. (see my example title above)
Examples:
CAPTIAN AMERICA - the Ultimates
the THING - the Fantastic Four
COLOSSUS - the X-MEN
SPIDERMAN


also try to watch about color, italics, bolding, etc...
It just makes it quicker/easier to read if we all have a similar standard.

thanks

I will try and remember to do that.

What would you like us to use?
