I'm not a writer so i cannot collaborate, but i was quite surprised by your idea! I think it's very original for sure, and that you want to get Hibbert in too could make for some surely interesting reading... er.. i don't have much things to say as you noticed, hehe.
Just wanted to congratulate you on willing to search for some different things to write about in the simpsonic world!

Sorry. Here's my double post (I ran out of post space) emoticon...
Same deal with Gary's MT2, though no comments on it yet (picture-wise).

*celebrates*
Welcome to LTS, Vanguard!
(I hope your disagreements with a few members in the other thread hasn't soured the experience for you.)
I'm still fastidiously trying to wrap up my other project, DoaS, but there is only one chapter left to write.
I'll contact you through PM soon and see about coordinating with you somehow if you're still interested. Probably next week or the one after as I may need some down time to collect myself.
Writing is very draining...

Im up for a bit of reading and critique if needed . Not so good on the writing side so i'll leave that to the pros!

Early days of Armin Tamzarian huh? Nice idea. As long as he ends up in front of a judge by running him over with his motorcycle.

To be honest, and you can all beat me later, I have totally forgotten who Armin is. I feel slightly ashamed but not in the least bit surprised

Not sure this qualifies as FanFiction and it's not worth a new thread, but I wrote a freestyle poem today at work. It's a part of the process of getting into the subject matter for this story, I suppose.

This short piece is done from the perspective of Bleeding Gums Murphy that night in 'Moanin Lisa' and the last few stanza's are from the moment in the episode where Lisa first sees her idol and introduces herself.
Anyways, sorry for the quality. I sucked at poems in school...

"Not a Hero"

I am not a hero.
I never changed the world,
Saved a life, healed a friend.
I never hoped for more,
Wished for better, set a trend.

I am a fool,
Not a hero.

The life I've led,
The paths I've fled,
All for naught.
Be worth more dead.

No, I am not a hero,
Certainly not a saint.

Age and sex,
Color or creed.
Deep down inside,
We all still bleed!

I ask you now,
O Lord, my God, the Father,
Hear my prayer,
Upon this starlit bridge,
My heart filled bursting with despair.
I never begged for blood,
So, please, stop this flood!
It's too much, and much too fast to bear!

Am I so vain,
That I'd steal your pain,
For a chance at honest feeling?

It's numbing now,
The window closing.
My time is near,
No need
To fear
The reaper...

...

What's this?
Redemption, you say?
Salvation in the eyes of a child?

Perhaps God has a plan,
For this old man,
To rise above his station.

I am not a hero, no...
But maybe there's still time,
For hope.

Thanks, Laguna.
I did send you that info last night and am just now remembering your earlier remark. You mentioned something about a possible idea for the story?

Well, I'm still hammering out some details with Vanguard, so I'm not sure when the first chapters will appear. It's slow going at the moment because of timezone differences, but the PM's give a pretty good sense of where I'd like to see the story go.
