Working on a fanfic . . .

[ShadowWolf75]

Considering there's a serious shortage of good fics in this fandom, I decided to start one. It's mostly about NOS-4-A2. Zurg has this new cyborg he wants to test the combat abilities of, and as the Hornets are their usual cannon fodder selves, he has the energy vampire rebuilt to give the cyborg something that will actually give her a decent fight.

I know what you're probably thinking: 'NOS-4-A2 would rebel and/or try to kill Zurg!' But Zurg's taken precautions by installing a loyalty chip that can override the vampire's actions should he decide to get rebellious. NOS-4-A2 would know what was happening, he just can't do anything about it. And the chip has the added bonus of a punishment device linked to a remote control; all Zurg has to do is press a button and his minion will be writhing in agony at his feet.

Can you say potential for angst? I see NOS-4-A2 as someone who wants to be in control of himself and his environment at all times, and this little development totally screws that up. He wouldn't be all weepy about it, but he would be pretty angry, at Zurg and at himself. Hell, the vampire tried to take over the universe but only wound up destroyed and then rebuilt as Zurg's slave.

The cyborg, named Lyssa, makes this a bit more tolerable for the energy vampire. No, they DON'T fall in love, she's still semi-organic and he's a robot so I don't see that working out. At first they kind of tolerate each other, and eventually become friends as they're kindred spirits in a way. They both hate Zurg, and would like nothing more than to be free from him. As for what happens afterwards, who knows? (I can see them as being bounty hunters, though . . .)

So, what do you think? Does it sound good to you?

Interesting concept. There's much nothing out there about NOS-4-A2, thus he's a rather unexplored character. Interesting to see him being heaved up from the oblivion.
Also, an original point of view considering that the vampire is both a villain and a robot. Majorly the existing BLoSC stories concentrate on Mira, Buzz, or Warp. Not that the latter would be a bad thing, nonetheless it brings some freshness to the ficverse when a minor character is brought up. Myself decided to resurrect Evil Buzz a while ago, since I couldn't find even half a story involving him in his full potential.

Considering there's a serious shortage of good fics in this fandom--

Ditto, and a huge shortage of fics in overall. There's like what-- four to six active writers out there any more? That's hideously too little.

[Buzz Lightyear]

Yeah there aren't a lot of writers still writeing for the BLoSC sections any longer. And what ones are only a small few are any good.
I myself have been burried under work for the past year or so, so my writing has stopped.
I think on FF.net only about 7 or 8 people did outstanding jobs. Moslty because we were (are) HS students and older and have had some experience in writing and so on and the rest just seem to be smaller kids. But everyone has their own tastes an styles, I rather see a bunch of children writing fics that make no sense then them turning into drug dealers. Frankly as long as it doesn't get nasty I don't care what they do.

But that does sound like an interesting plot. Haven't seen much of anything concerning Nos-4-A2 really. Go for it .

[Spaz Ranger]

Pretty much ditto what everyone else said. Haven't seen too many good fics on FF.net concerning that section, just about a few new ones are good. Not as many writers as there used to be and I think I can count the number of decent writers on two hands.
But like many of use we just have work and school to attend to. So writing takes a back seat to my grades and jobs. But that's why I picked up fan art, I can do that in school, just CGing might take a while lol.

But yeah might be interesting to see a fic about someone other then Buzz Lightyear, not many out there about an alternate character.
