Scruffy's dream of his own snuff-porn have died yet again...
Posted on May 15, 2012 by Tim Poor Scruffy.  Well, we've got a whole steamin' pile of Fan Fiction and so we'll lead off with this new one by dinkdrinker 'cause it as steamin' as they come.  It's called Let Me Call You Sweat-Heart, and in it things get a little steamy when the Prof invents a new pheromone booster and goes looking for a couple to test it on. Naturally there are some unintended consequences, especially when Bender adds his own unique touch to the experiment. A minor warning - this one has a couple of mildly sexually suggestive scenes. 
Fan art by Javier Sánchez/The Futurama Point
The next fic is by Lauren Smiles with part 3 of Love At Long Last. This one is sub-titled “A Problem With Fry”. It seems that Fry and Leela have finally found some common ground, until one day when Fry just suddenly collapses and even the mighty Dr. Zoidberg can't figure out what's wrong with him. 
And back from a brief hiatus is Zoey Webber with a story entitled Do You Come From A Land Downunda?. It's the tale of how Zoidberg saved Fry, Bender, and Leela from being stranded. But afterward he still isn't feeling appreciated so he runs away and joins the Space Corps. He ends up on a planet called Downunda where he is beloved!  Especially by the Mayor there who's a man in a dog suit named Wilford (who's based on the character from the FX show Wilfred). Everyone loves Zoidberg, that is until Bender shows up. This could only end badly.
 Well, things have been humming along real nice at the Madhouse here recently with contributions pouring in as fast (or faster) as I can get them put up and daily updates being belched out like Bender in a beer warehouse. Yep, things are running real smooth. So, now that everything is purring like a well fed Nibbloanian it's time to screw with it.  And if I'm trotting out the beach picture it can only mean one thing - and that's that I'm going on a little vacation, so things is going to be a little quiet here for a few days. There's still a few things waiting to be delivered so if you haven't seen your stuff yet, look for it next week. See ya! |
Six heads are better than one, right?
Posted on May 14, 2012 by Tim So yesterday I mentioned that Fan Art was in short supply these days, and I also mentioned “memes”. Well lookie what showed up in my mailbox - three new pics from Jenny Ngo and as usual that means at least six Fry heads.  The meme part, me thinks that's obvious. You probably thinks I have no clue what a “memes” really is and I'm just saying that to sound smart. Can't imagine where you'd get a silly idea like that. Oh, and due to the vagaries of the way the fan fic pages are laid out, one of her pics ended up on her first page, and the other two on her second, so make sure you check both.
Now here's a surprise - more Fan Fiction. It's really coming in fast and furious recently, but that's a good thing. So first is a fic by Lamusiqe13 called Kif Gets Knocked Up Another Notch. It's a story of Amy and Kif awkwardly reuniting when the Planet Express crew has a meeting with the crew of the Nimbus. The big L sez “Unlike my other episodes, this episode is in the form of a correct TV script” and Tim sez “and boy was that a pain in the shiny metal to get formatted anywhere near correctly”. 
And there is also a couple of new ones from that prolific teller of tall (but short) tales, Rush. First, we've got Caffinated Bacon in which there are some weird goings on at Planet Express; and then there's Space Cow-O-Rama in which Rush tries to predict the future, and by future I mean the upcoming episode from the new season A Farewell to Arms. Rush wants present and future, and by future he means possibly long after he's dead that he wrote this long before AF2A ever aired and that he scraped together bits and pieces of info from video previews and news info. It's always a dangerous thing, trying to predict what Futurama is going to do. We'll just have to wait and see how close he gets it (and by close I mean how hard we can laugh at him). |
Mega birthday
Posted on May 13, 2012 by Tim What day is today?
It's Freako's birthday!
What a day for a birthday,
Let's all have some cake! 
Yes indeed, not only is today (also known as yesterday in some parts of the world) Futurama_Freak1's birthday, but he also sent us a new bit of Fan Art (something we haven't had much of lately). Now, lest you think this is just another run of the mill Futurama delivery themed pic where Fry is slacking off somewhere and leaving Leela to carry the load, it's actually based on the Mega Milk meme that popped up a couple of years back. Happy Birthday Freako, welcome to the world of tomorrow (also known as today in some parts of the world).
You Want Some Fry With That?
I hope so, 'cause you're gonna get it whether you want it or not.  Mostly 'cause that's the title of one of two new Comic Transcripts that Umbreon has just finished. They are #55, The Trouble With Trilogies (can't guess what they're spoofing in that title ) and #56 Do You Want Fry With That?.
But wait! There's more! For more fried Fry action, check out the latest in Dwayne Anderson's Matters of Life and Death series. This one is the 9th installment called Tonight's Menu: Deep Fry in which Fry finally gets Leela to agree to have dinner with him by uttering those three words women love to hear from their partner - “I'll make dinner!”. Might make a nice shippy Fan Fiction, except this isn't how this series goes and in Morbo's words “Gruesome death awaits us all!”. You've been warned. |
Creative titles and other stuph
Posted on May 12, 2012 by TimGot a bunch of Fan Fiction today.  First is two new chapters (or Episodes) of Jewelvine's fic Revenge. They are Episode IV: A New Chance and Episode Episode V For Vendetta: The Callanian Strikes Back. If you've been following along, you'll have undoubtedly noticed that J gets a little creative with episode names and chapter titles.
Another creative title author is Onuki, who has two new ones. In Enveloped by love & the sun the Brain Spawn send Leela into a Family Guy book, and Shunsuke, Fry, and Bender into Kickin' It Old School (comic #16). This is based on a idea by Trenton Sands. Onuki's second fic is Tears from smiling face ~ Circle of friends ~ where Fry returns to Universe-1 and finds out Fry-1 is single so he brings him and Bender-1 back to Universe-A to move in with himself, Shunsuke, & Bender-A. If you happen to be a math major you'll quickly see that number of combinations for wedgies has gone up dramatically. Regulars here sholud know the drill by now, but in case you're new, Onuki's fics feature Fry in a relationship with the author. |
Only supported at her scrunchie?
Posted on May 9, 2012 by Tim So I get this e-mail the other day from kaspired (the guy with the coolest bike on Madhouse) who says he's been really busy lately, and has suffered some serious trauma from getting a haircut, but now that he's out of therapy he's back to creating cool stuff. The first is a concept sketch. He sez he wanted to draw something that was very solid, and granite is just about as solid as you can get. <-- see, my head proves that. The next two photos are of a plasticine head and shoulders thingie that he made, about which he says “The plasticine is the reclaimed unused remains of the first sculpture that was so bad I don't want to show it, so the colors aren't super clean, but oh well. I built her head first, from the neck up, but it looked strange so I faked in her shoulders. Did you notice that her pony tail is only supported at her scrunchie? Overall height is just under six inches (15 cm), and the total time I spent on this was about three hours. Taking a decent photo was harder than building the thing.“.
Ok, now here's something we haven't had in a long time, and we need to have more of (hint hint). It's, at long last, a new Episode Transcript:  6acv02 In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela, and we have Lamusiqe13 to thank for the effort. 
 And lastly but not leastly (I use that at least once a month, don't I?) a new chapter in a Fan Fiction: It's Episode 2 of LaurenSmiles1 fic Love At Long Last. This chapter is sub-titled Flyback, which I think is very clever because of what's going on in it (and also maybe because I suggested it ). This pic is some cover art she created for the series.  |
Golden goodie blasts from the pasts
Posted on May 7, 2012 by Tim All right, girls, put on those Poodle skirts and saddle shows; guys, slick back your hair and roll up a pack of cigarettes in the sleeve of your t-shirt; and everybody hop in the pink and black car with the big tail fins head for the sock hop. Or, maybe we could just play some Elvis records like Jenny here in this Fan Art from Jennifer Morton. Jenny is an OC created by Jennifer.
On the Fan Fiction front, we have two new items, both by Lamusiqe13. The first one is How to Write a Fan Fiction: Adventures in Sarcasm and the author describes it thusly: “Have you ever watched an episode of Futurama and thought “I could write this crap!”? Well, you can't. Not without my genius tutorial on how to write a “good” fan fiction. Okay, I was being really sarcastic back there. This is actually a very sarcastic fan fiction writing tutorial. But it's funny. Read it.” (webmaster's note: If one were to root around in the fan fic arkive, one might find another how-to article that might have inspired this). And, taking his own advice, he went on to write a short fan-fic based on the above How-To called Fry and Leela Love Each Other. Lamusiqe13 did mention that he forgot to instruct us in how to write the all-important synopsis, which is not something you want to leave to your local webmasters, those idiots will screw that up every time. No, it's best to do it yourself, and L's advices on that, when all else fails, is to go “You are getting sleepy. You are getting very sleepy. When I snap my fingers, you will read this fan fiction and think it was very good.”.  |
Better than brain slugs
Posted on May 4, 2012 by Tim Ok, we got us a two-fer here today which illustrates the benefit of being able to illustrate your own Fan Fiction. In this case, the fic is a new one by Gulliver63 and it's called Hop In and Drive; and the pic is cover art for same. Gulliver63 describes the story thusly: “our Futurama friends find out what happens when a group of aliens use their bodies to have a night on the town. The ringleader of these aliens finds out that he has his "hands" full with our favorite mutant Leela. Will all this end well? Will Zapp Brannigan and Bender become fabulously wealthy in the process? Read on and find out what happens when the aliens hop in for a drive.“
And now her Ladyship, Umbry, Lord High Master of the Comic Transcribing Arts... Esquire has deemed it appropriate to present us with a transcript of #54 How Much Is That Mutant In The Window?, which also includes an extra bit, Captain Zapp Brannigan in Rank Call!. PS - she told me to say that. Well, some of it anyway.
 And lastly today, a look at what might happen if Bender had an addictive personality ... oh, wait. But that's about the size of it, as Rush has a Fan Fiction in three parts that looks at what would happen if Bender got addicted to a MMORPG.  It's called World of Ramacraft. That's a link to part 1, you'll have to find the other two parts on your own. |
In outer space, no one can see your tan lines
Posted on May 2, 2012 by Tim Ahoy mates, yesterday I said we'd have some new frames for Pieter Antonissen's Four Better or For Worse Fan Comic, and here they are. Ten new pages of plot advancing goodness, all with a “surprise end” starting on page 54.
And now for some Fan Fiction. This one is by Lamusiqe13 and it's called Mutany. It seems there's another war on and everyone has been drafted again, except that when Leela finds out there's a rule against mutants serving in the military, she leads a mutiny of mutants, takes over the Nimbus, and tries to convince Earth president Nixon to rescind the rule.
And just to round out todays hit parade of updates, here's a new Comic Transcript. Umbreon is typing her fingers to the bone to bring you the words of wisdom from comic #53 A Bump in the Flight. |
A catchy headline is the hardest part ...
Posted on May 1, 2012 by Tim Which is why I usually save it for last, when the creative juices are all dried up.  Fortunately, I wrote all of this first: Good news everybody, you may recall Pieter Antonissen's Fan Comic Four Better or Four Worse that has been tantalizing and titillating us for some time now, well, I'm told we'll have some new frames real soon now.  Meanwhile, Pieter has sent this sketch as a sneak preview from a little further down the road.
Now, in the kidnapping, ransom, alien invasion, and amnesia department, we have the promised Part 3 of Jewelvine's Fan Fiction Revenge. This episode is called The True Identity of Leela. This is the part that I thought was broken a few days ago. It isn't, but if something looks a little odd or out of place, you might try a mouseover and see if anything interesting shows up.
And there's one more Fan Fiction today - the latest in Dwayne Anderson's series of blood, guts, and gore fics Matters of Life And Death. Part 8 is called Scruffed Off and if that don't tell you who gets offed in this one, nothin' will. I am required by the brass to includes a warning about this fic that it includes graphic descriptions of death and the management of FM-TLZ is not responsible of you loose your lunch or poison your pet brain slug in an ill-conceived chemistry experiment. |
Fiction of seeing lottery entering cookie
Posted on April 30, 2012 by Tim I think this is the first time that I've been able to do a headline in Engrish, but I was sorta inspired to that by the title of one of today's Fan Fictions. You see, there's two new ones from Onuki. The first has the relatively “normal” sounding title of Beat The Clock which features the Robot Mafia wanting to rule the universe so they kidnap Shunsuke, Fry, Amy, Hermes, Farnsworth, and Zoidberg and tie them to a bomb. This of course leaves Bender and Leela to save them before time runs out. This fic is based on a idea by Trenton Sands. Now the other fic is called *deep breath* Good fortune and happiness will come to the home of those who smile, which is I think the second longest title in the fan fic archive, and the inspiration for today's headline should now be obvious, even though it's sort of a clash of cultures.  Anyway, this fic features a PE crew in a rock band theme and hijinks by Fry and Bender. And, as usual, a warning to the overly protective of Fry, Onuki's fics feature himself in a “relationship” with Fry. Oh, and I should also mention the Fan Art; two of them, both of Onuki (who apparently looks very much like Fry). A mouse over the thumbnails on his fan art page will give you the details.
