hiimben Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hey guys, as many of you may know I am seriously considering starting a webcomic due to popular demand. However, I have recently discovered, as my signature states, that I need writers, and I figured this was a pretty good place to come to. So here is the challenge. Anyone who wishes to be part of the writing staff must come up with a short plot summary of the series as a whole, and write a few sample episodes, a pilot if you will. Doesn't need to be particularly long, but it does need to create a sense of a format for the comic, as I have the general idea, I am just lacking how that idea comes to fruition. Anyways, things you need to know are :- Comic name is "Undecided",a tagline has not yet been created and all ideas are welcome. - Edit: Need new comic name The story follows General Awesome,a regular guy in a new city, on his quest to become Commander Awesome.How he goes about this is undecided so far. A common enemy is a bear, with no name as of yet, but his relationship to anything is not yet decided apart from being an antagonist. Only one character has been made, other characters will, if you're story is accepted, need detailed character reviews. That's about it for now, here's some sample art for inspiration. And there is a direct link to the active thread regarding the comic in my signature. IF CHOSEN to be a cowriter,You will be working with me and some others, and you accept that I may wish to edit your script in any way in order to enhance it as I see fit, and all opinions will be given the chance to be argued fairly. All writing staff will be credited. Also, there is still the chance that the comic will not go ahead as planned, as it is still in its very early stages. In short: Write a pilot saga for a comic following a guy named General Awesome and I may choose you to be a cowriter of the comic. No deadlines as of yet, try to take your time with them, and if you need help writing the pilot I can give tips and stuff as you write them. Anyways, I'm out for now, hope to get some results from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harakiri Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 GENERAL AWESOME: PLOT: General Awesome is a man of great fame around the area known as the frontier. He has helped stop the mutant bear armies from entering the land and enslaving the people, and has earned his name. But when he is summoned to the capital to face the council of elders, he enters a world of evil. He must fight the evil bear lords as they use the powers of new nanotechnologies to fit in with humans. He must learn of his fathers deeds in the great war for the City of Dead Bodies, and he must also face the greatest enemy of the free world... Mecha Pooh Bear... Just an idea...probably not good enough...but whatever...if you want the script for the first couple, just tell me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiimben Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks for the effort mate. Trying to keep this without many pop culture references. It sounds like it could be a possibility. If you want to go into more depth, feel free. However due to the apparent lack of interest in the project by some, the chances it wont go ahead are getting more likely :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye?Aye? so i herd u liek devarts?If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".[hide=This's why I'm hot]The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".Amen, brother :lol:Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)amen Bruder!

andufusthebronze Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I meant commander awesome. >_< I mis-typed. Sorry guy. BEING COMMANDER AWESOME - Never as easy as it seems General Awesome is an ex-army general who got kicked out for telling people that a nuclear weapon was about to go off in the middle of their camp, causing major panic. His defence was it was funny His brother was the more successful Commander awesome, someone who wasnt too military and was a major celebrity in the city. However, with Commander Awesome having an unfortunate accident, he left quite a bit of his money to his dear brother. General takes this as an opportunity, and decides to try and fool people that he is his brother, as no-one else knows that he is dead. Other than Stacey, the wife, oh and the bear that mauled him to death. Stacey doesnt mind helping General out, seeing as they used to be friends. The bear has somehow learned English and makes several attempts to ruin it for General. How the bear manages to get into the offices and lounges of the city celebrities is never explained. PILOT EPISODE - "Humble" Beginnings I'm not too keen on it, but it was my first idea. I might think of another one if you don't like it. First panel: General Awesome is standing alone in a crappy apartment with a letter in his hand with scribbles all over it. Second panel: General has his wallet out but he is slightly sad. Third panel: General awesome is holding up the piece of paper, and the number 300,000 is on a piece of paper and he is grinning. Fourth panel: General Awesome has a thought bubble showing him rolling around in piles of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragoonson Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Can we like split each scenario into little strips with their own standing jokes like the comic I linked?If so first strip should be something like this. First Panel:~RANK~ Awesome-An introduction Second Panel:Fact X (Rank Awesome repeats fact X) Third Panel:Bear intrusion Fourth Panel:Rank Awesome says witty joke about headlocking the mother bear and lunges into battle. I fail at wit so I leave it to Someone else. so i herd u liek devarts?If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".[hide=This's why I'm hot]The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".Amen, brother :lol:Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)amen Bruder!
