Your universe is written by some weird creepy loser guy
Posted on February 19, 2012 by TimNo, I did not fall into a black hole, although there are days that I feel like that. Anyway, got to keep it short today, 'cause it's actually tonight where I am and morning will come way too soon.  So here's three more Fan Fictions by Rush. First up is In Spaceship Movie where we find the crew on a long voyage home. They'd like to watch a movie to while away the time, and Bender has lots of them. The problem is, Leela doesn't seem interested in any of them. 
In A Whole Lotta Leelas, a clone of Leela wakes up in the PE building basement, along with a whole bunch of other Leela clones, all of whom are wondering what's going on. This could get ugly fast. 
And then there's Fry The Fan Fiction Writer in which Fry tries his hand at writing some All My Circuits Fan Fiction, and naturally, Bender plays critic, and we find out where today's headline comes from.  |
"Two protons walk into a black hole."
Posted on February 12, 2012 by Tim I promised something with pictures for a change, and here it is. It is an Illustrated Fan Fiction. Gulliver63 wrote it and it's called The Replacements. This is a story in which the crew barely escape death after a brush with a black hole, only to find out how Rip Van Winkle must have felt when they learn that they have been declared officially dead by the Bureaucracy, and then they encounter the crew that replaced them.  For all of you who like your fan fic served canon, this is about as good as it gets.  The pic here is the cover art, and there are two illustrations in the fic. They're all links to the full sized pics, or you can check them out in Gulliver's Fan Art page. 
Oh, and if you get the joke in the head line, you are a true nerdlinger. |
Thrilling tales of robots, eyeballs, and smelly crabs
Posted on February 11, 2012 by TimIt's Saturday night! How about some Fan Fiction?  First up, a new one from Zoey Webber. It's called Robot and The Eyeball, and it has Bender and Leela taking some time off from their jobs to play detective after an accident involving Fry and the PE ship. There's also a look at Leela's dark side and the Professor's tinkering with brain implants. And why does this all seem to spell bad news for a certain delivery boy?
And now we come to the final installments of the ship load of fics that Rush sent in. The penultimate one is The End of All Bends in which Bender's worst fears come to pass,  and lastly but not leastly there's Smelling Zoidberg  which is NEVER a good idea.
Coming up next, stuff with actual pictures! Stay tuned. |
I love being able to pin the blame elsewhere
Posted on February 10, 2012 by Tim Ho Ho Ho! Merry Xmas! Yeah, Ok, I know we're a couple of months late. Don't blame me, blame dinkdrinker. So the reason for the month and a half late Xmas stuff is 'cause he just sent the Comic Transcript for issue #40 which is entitled Robot Santa's Little Helpers. Why he's a little late with it I don't know, but I suspect alcohol was involved.  Or maybe he was just busy, 'cause he also sent #42 Homeward Boned*. In between there, Umbreon slipped in with #41 Soldier Boys. She says “Now, once the flesh grows back over my fingers, I can start working on the next comic. I mean, typing with bone is actually more accurate, but they tend to skid on keys. Oh well, onward!”. Gotta give a big steaming pile of official FM/TLZ kudos to these two for cranking the Bender's share of these transcripts.
 And speaking of big steaming piles of stuff, I'm still shoveling my way through the load that Rush sent flowing our way recently, so here's three more.  - Leela Warrior in which Leela runs into a spot of trouble on her way to work - a girl just isn't safe in the streets of NNY these days.
 - Questions In Space which has Fry and Bender asking Leela some questions while on their way home to Earth (and which reminded me of this frame from on of the episodes). And finally
- Shiny Metal Trip the illustrates how Bender can make watching Everybody Loves Hypnotoad even more enjoyable, with disastrous consequences (I'm pretty sure alcohol was involved here too).
* That fan comic title reminded me of a conversation I had a few years ago with a Fan Fiction writer (who I haven't heard from in quite a while ) who had a fic outlined by the same title.  |
It's only two elevators from bottom to top
Posted on February 7, 2012 by Tim Ever wonder what the inside of the Planet Express building really is like? As in what's where and what are all those floors and subbasements used for, and how do you get from here to there? Well, wonder some more, because we certainly don't have the answer (and obviously the writers and animators of 'rama didn't either). BUT, we do have something that come pretty close. And what that is is a set of plans that Diabedo has been working on. It's still very much a work in progress and he's like your help and comments. We have a thread on the Forum where you can discuss it.
Here's a pop quiz - who's the oldest employee at PE? Well, it's not the Professor, and it's not Fry, so it has to be ... Bender! Yep, because he went back in time so many times and waited it out. In fact, he's so old that he's past PE's mandatory retirement age. Wondering where all this came from? Well, it's called Rust In Peace and it's Futurama Comic #39, as transcribed by Umbreon and filed in our Comic Transcript section.
And I'm still digging out from pile of Fan Fiction that Rush sent in, so here's three more.
- Fry's Sacrifice: This is a twist on The Why of Fry which Rush describes it as “A theory of Nibbler's thoughts towards the Fry who sacrificed himself to save Leela.”. Depending on your take on time travel paradoxes, you may or may not buy into the sacrificed bit, but that's half the fun.
- Hundreds Of Years Backward: What's more dangerous that writing anti-shipper fiction? How about a dip into the dangerous and murky cesspool of political and religious current events? Well, that's where Rush goes in this one when a certain controversial group visits Planet Express, which annoys the staff of Planet Express greatly.
- Insane, in which Morbo interviews a woman with some controversial views on men.

Coming soonish to a fan comic section nearest you
Posted on February 5, 2012 by Tim We (and by "we" I mean me) reported a few days ago that !iMmOrTaL! was working on a new Fan Comic and that he'd release a little teaser when he got to page 20. Well, must be he got to page 20 'cause here's the sneak preview. I suspect that it's this particular one because when he mentioned this previously he also said “Let's make it interesting, pick a number between 1 and 10.”. So I picked 2*e, but then I realized he probably meant a plain old boring integer, so I picked six. I suspect by doing so I picked which picture we were going to get. Anyway, here it is, and things we might read into this from the pic - the comic might be called Welcome to the World of Sorrow and that it somehow involves some of the crew getting a nice vacation to someplace called Mom's Friendly Forced Labor Camp.
 Cubert says “And now, the most pointless, stupid Fan Fiction ever!”. And, really, I'm not dissing Rush 'cause that's a (only slightly embellished) line straight out of one of his new fics. There's three of 'em, which is all I had time to do tonight out of the steaming pile of eleven he dumped on me the other day. So these lead off three are:- A Lost Dusty Tale Of Yonder which is a short sequel to a previous fic of his, The Legend Of The One Bender Of Wealth.
- Chicken which features Hyper-Chicken along with other members of his species protesting outside of a fried chicken place. Rush says he came up with this fan fiction while eating a chicken sandwich for lunch a few days ago. You already know what Cubert thinks of it.
- Darn Wormholes in which Fry, Leela, and Bender are dragged into a wormhole on their way back to Earth wherein weird things happen and multiple Benders drop enough bricks for a couple of government buildings.

This is incredibly silly
Posted on February 1, 2012 by Tim But hey, being incredibly silly is part of what Futurama is all about, right? So when the e-mail from Jenny Ngo showed up with that as the subject line, I knew we were in for something special. And by special I mean some new Fan Art in which the queen of two headed Frys doubles her efforts and delivers a couple of pics of four headed Frys.  If she doubles again it's going to get kinda difficult to fit them all in there - Fry might have to get a larger size T-shirt. And there's also a couple of more “conventional” pics of Fry too, just for good measure. |
Calendar girls
Posted on January 30, 2012 by Tim Attention Amy fans - hows about a nice picture of her modeling some Mars U attire, and straight out of the centerfold of Pentiumhouses' February 3012 issue at that? Well here ya go, courtesy of !iMmOrTaL! who was “inspired” by that mag's “chippy of the month” (hint: see the 2012 Futurama calendar). The big ! also reports that he's got 17 pages of a new comic all done and that he'll be releasing a teaser when he gets to 20. 
And now her's a nice little Fan Fiction just in time for Valentines' Day, which is still a couple of weeks away, but as Fry finds out it pays to plan ahead (something he's not very good at ). The story is called Date Night. It's by Missy and it's a tale of Fry and Leela's Valentines Day date.  or maybe |
Daddy hated it whenever I visited Neptune.
Posted on January 28, 2012 by Tim Visiting Neptune - sounds like fun, eh? It's a great place - Methane snow, average temperature of -200 degrees C, 1,200 mph winds, and don't forget about Robot Santa. Yep, sure beats Disneyland. So if that headline sounds like maybe it's an Amy line, there's good reason for that - and that is because it is, and it's in a a new chapter of kaspired's Fan Fiction Santa's Refugee. This being chapter 2 in which the crew gets bored waiting in line, they haul passengers, Fry just might get his old job back, and we find out why Neptunians don't like Omicroanians (as if they really need a reason ). The pic is also some new Fan Art from kaspired and illustrates this chapter.
So that's it for today - I don't want anyone to think I'm such a big nerd that all I have to do on a Saturday night is update a fan site, so just this one quickie and now I'm gonna get back to the D&D game and the Star Trek marathon. |
Back to "normal", eh.
Posted on January 27, 2012 by TimAll right, if you can see this that means we're all settled into our new home in the Great White North, eh and things can get back to "normal" around here, or as normal as they ever get that is. So let's give a big round of Huzzahs! to Leandro and Graham 'cause moving to a new host is never easy (although, sadly, they seem to be getting really good at it). The up side is that things seem to be humming along in good order (knocks on wooden cat statue). The down side is that means it's time for me to get to work and clean out all that stuff that's piled up over the last week or so. So:
 The first cats out of the bag are two new Fan Fics and one new Fan Art by Onuki. The fics are Fry Am The Egg Man 2, in which Fry has to take case of another egg and various other fun stuff happens; and Hold Outer Space Future In Both Hands, which is ... ... well, I'm not entirely sure how to describe it, you'll just have to read it and see for yourself. I'm pretty sure wedgies are involved. The usual warning for hard-core Fry fans about these fics applies. The pic you see here is was inspired by the second fic.
 And there's a new Comic Transcript too! Dinkdrinker knocked out comic #38 - Rumble In The Jungle, which features Leela in a leopard print bikini so that ought to be worth a read or two in and of itself.
Fan art by Lee Roberts
And now that we're back on the air, I've got to go herd those cats I let out of the bag earlier. |
