So, recently I had very little time to sit down and write. That left many of my stories dead – which makes me sad. So I decided to try something else – a multi-author comedy quest game. The story would follow an evil mastermind trying to conquer/destroy the world, but always failing miserably due to the interference of heroes, the stupidity of minions or Murphy's laws. I would start and update the quest when it would be possible. But knowing my track record, I will manage to write only a few chapters at the beginning - that's why I wonder if there is somebody who would like to be a co-author in the project. Basically, I'm searching for authors who would add a chapter or two from time to time, to keep the story going. Example of introduction. * * * So here [A1]he [A2]she was – the evil mastermind. Bend on world domination. “Finally, after all of the time waiting and preparing, I'm ready to plot the takeover of the city – and then, THE WORLD! Mwhahahaha!” The silhouette laughed the evil laugh sitting in... not too comfy chair [due to lack of money], of newly acquired secret base [B1]rented warehouse, in the docks. Little ruined with a leaking roof but in the docks! Quite close to the centre of the city. [B2]abbandomed manor in the suburbs. Not in too good condition and one wall is missing, but far from human eyes. [B*]write in In front of mastermind, four young good looking women stood at attention- newly hired loyal minions. The beginning of the mastermind's evil army! Mwhahaha! OK, so they might be dropouts from a local college who took the job because they didn't have any other prospects for work... and the other evil villains had too high requirements for them to take the job, but still! Soldiers, and soon, An Army! After some deliberations, the evil mastermind choose a theme for the fledging evil army - [C1]Uniforms! Military-like uniforms! Black! White! Green and Grey! Yellow and Pink- Ok, maybe not pink. Ehm! Skirts! Black High-heels and stockings! And berets! A sign of order – the evil order that is to come! Sure, it might be a little Nazi, but it does proclaim the superiority - of Mastermind above all others! Mwhahaha! [C2]Ninja! High-neck one-piece swimsuits, thigh-high high-heels, arm and shin guards and face masks! A modern-day Ninja! A sign that your organisation will rule from the shadow! Casu Ninja! And no- it's not Naruto's influence... and there is absolutely no inspiration from that bat-guys origin villain organisation. None. [C*]write in The first mission of loyal minions would be quite important! [D1]gathering cash! [working as maids in maid cafe] [D2]hireing more minions! [putting an adds in local college] [D3]hiring a dangerous hench babe! [a forest guard fired for being overzealous in protecting squirells] [D4]hiring a mad scientist! [a teacher fired from the university for drug/alcohol addiction problems] [D*]write in The first stage of the evil master plan is [E1]to set up a constant flow of cash! [set a maid cafe, without the need of using active minions - this will give a nice cash injection] [E2]to set up an information network! [create a pizza delivery shop – the minion-spies will know about basics of what's going on in the city] [E*]write in * * * Places for inspirations Delmo Corps from Agent Aika Villians from Bond movies Doctor Evil from Austin Power series Mastermind world conqueror [game and movies by Michael Swain] Evil Genius - the game TVtopes Spaceballs! Marvel and DC universes Your thoughts? Is there anyone interested in being a co-author?
I'd be willing to give this a try, with the typical caveats about consent of course, though as this is to be filed under "Humor and Satire" I think that isn't much of a concession, as Rape is extremely unfunny.
Um, bump? Are you still onboard with this idea, and if not, mind if I take a run at it with you in the co-author chair instead?
Ok, gotcha, well, now that this thread is in the right forum maybe we will get some more interest and people willing to play along...
