Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board semi-official LMB Comic writing thread! - now with added crunch -

So we've been going strong these last few weeks and gaining more and more people's involvement on the current roleplay and several longstanding dangling plotlines have now been tied up. We've just about entered the final act, with Phineas B. Fuddle revealed as the major threat to us all.

But now we need a name! So, any ideas for a great name for the roleplay. Preferably without the word 'Saga' in it.

Best one wins! If you don't really know whats going on, I guess keep it general. The theme has been a bit of 'the long road home', 'gradual shift to a LMB united after many months of disunity', while equal parts mystery and space/time sci-fi.

Some of my own nominations:

"This is the Day the Universe Dies"

"The Betrayer from Beyond"

"Live Together, Die Alone"

How about:

a. Cobalt Kid's Megalomania Dooms Legion World!

or

b. The EGO That Would Not Die!


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(I didn't promise to be nice to you...)

well, this is the 2nd story of Phineas B. Fuddle?

so how about "Second Fuddle"

"Fuddler on the Roof"

"A Tale of Two Lardies"

...and next time out, the story could involve isolated-island Scandinavian literature and blue cheese... the Saga Saga Saga!

My best so far is "Sins of the Past" or "Sins Past".

"Days of Fuddle Past"

"Eryk Davis Ester is still a meaniehead"

"Frozen Donkey Wheel"

"Chapter the Last: In Which a Startling Number of Legion Worlders Perish, Their World is Unwritten at a Quantum Level, and Phineas B. Fuddle Reigns Triumphant"

We could do some plays on Justin Thyme:

"Just in Thyme"

"Thyme's Arrow"

"Thyme After Thyme"

"A Matter of Thyme"

I also like "The Puppet Master".

Thyme/Traveller.

Thyme for a Reckoning

Justin Thymeberlake!

Er... whatever that means!

Time After Thyme!

FYI, it was Kent who named "The Good, the Dark and the Dead"!

The Phantom Fuddle

Fuddle House

The Fabulous Facetiousness of the Felonious Fuddle

This is similar to my "Thyme After Thyme" idea and is so far the title idea I'm liking the best. If we do decide to submit this as a possibility, I think the best version might be "Thyme After Time" as it makes the most sense in how this is shaping up.

Other favorites for me so far are "Days of Fuddle Past" and my own "The Puppet Master".

Anyone else have a favorite so far? Any other groovy title ideas?

Presenting, the comic that originated Phineas...that no one's read!



And the solicitation text:

"The time-travel adventures of a brilliant ? but utterly mad ? scientist in Victorian London threaten to unhinge reality in an incredible, whimsical miniseries."

Issue 2:



"The time-travel misadventures of a brilliant ? but utterly mad ? scientist from Victorian London threaten to unhinge reality as the miniseries continues. Angus and McKee's furious search for Professor Fuddle brings them to an indescribably altered ancient Egypt where, during a slave revolt, they are saved from the clutches death by an intelligent Mandrill named Suliman. Meanwhile, the evil high priest Amenhamat still wants them dead. The valiant adventurers must now do battle to stop him from stealing the secret of the Professor's time machine. How will they ever survive?"

Issue 3:



"Angus and McKee, the time-traveling duo, find themselves in a radically altered India of the past, where the city-dwelling warrior King Ashoka and his enormous Dreadnaughts battle the Todas, who devote their lives to maintain the green of the forest. Our heroes must navigate through this war-torn arena in order to pursue Prof. Fuddle in the Hidden City of the Sixth Dalai Lama, so they can stop the timeline from changing before it's too late!"

And, finally, issue 4:



"The race against time gallops to an astonishing finish in the incredible conclusion of this time- traveling adventure. Phineas B. Fuddle leads Angus and McKee to an alternate-reality medieval England ? where demons, angels and saints are all too real and Hell literally exists on Earth. As the countdown to Armageddon ticks away, McKee and Angus must fight their way to the Tower of London, where a corrupt church holds Fuddle captive. Will they save the mad professor ? and the universe ? in time?"

Of course, the REAL origin of the LMB's interest in Phineas was when, on the old DC Boards, some rogue LMBers discovered this low-traffic forum and posted like crazy--some of which was based on our wild speculation on what the comic might have been like (but mostly just wild-ass posting after the DC Board's moderator had cracked down on our "off-topic" activities on the Legionnaires Board.

Ahhh...memories!

Wow, I remember that. Things would have been fine if Kampenhaus had left the Legionnaires board alone but nOOoooo he had to administrate and do his job and stuff and screwed it all up. Yeah, hundreds of posts overnight, every night, thread tag, first post(!), milestone races, etc.
-heh-

Phineas History Facts regarding the LMBP
(1) In the LMB's third year, we battled Phineas B. Fuddle back on the DC Boards. Longtime posters may remember this.

(2) Phineas B. Fuddle was responsible for the Dark Stu Saga on Legion World in LW's first year. Other posters may remember him from this.

This would be the third great Phineas Saga. Words we actively do not want in the title: "Crisis", "Zero Hour", "Saga".
