... Since my last period of regular posting on the Parodyverse. Work has been fruitful. I've stepped into the shoes of acting editor on a number of occasions now, and this past year our two papers won 13 state journalism awards, of which I was personally responsible for earning eight of them. It's been a while since I've written about CrazySugarFreakBoy!, but I'm glad to see him still doing well under Ian's pen, and I wonder if spending some time apart might help me see him in clearer focus. I've actually managed to incorporate the lessons of the Parodyverse into a new project, enlisting a few Facebook friends in a manner not unlike the old Parodyverse days to create a new shared universe. It started, oddly enough, in the wake of the Ferguson riots, when I was pretty much done with humanity, and a friend posted a compilation video of cheesy one-season sci-fi TV shows from the 1980s. I studied the video, and became convinced that I could create an archetypal failed '80s genre show out of all the tropes I saw in those intros, from the Moonlighting-style sexual tension between the leads to the gruff police detective who doesn't want any vigilantes in his city, dammit! Our own Ham-Boy has been following this on Facebook, and even made a few contributions of his own to the mythos. If anyone is interested, I could post about my cast of characters and their adventures, in a city that I've aspired to make as fully realized as Parodiopolis or Gotham, but in the meantime, I'll leave you with this cast pic from "Austin Kingsley: Star Prodigy." | |||
