: My inspiration for Ultra Crew?
: It's actually been a long-time project.
: It started with daydreams I used to
: have in elementary school
: about multiple cartoon crossovers such
: as Garfield and Teenage Mutant Ninja
: Turtles and Ghostbusters and
: would eventually include Captain N.
: I used to wonder "what would have happened
: in certain episodes if..." and
: ad-lib stuff in my head.
: I built up these ad-libs into a large
: "world" of crossovers many of which
: I'd make thousands of drawings of.
: (Most of the earlier ones are now gone.)
: I eventually started tried my luck WRITING stories
: (I generally don't consider them fanfics).
: I got around to writing a lousy Captain N
: continuation back when I had a 486 CPU.
: After a very sucky Junior Year of High School,
: I came up with Ultra Crew episode 4.
: Eventually I filled in the other three episodes
: and created several more. (Think I had
: almost ten or more including a
: Sonic issue 50 rewrite Ultra Crew style,
: and an Ultra Crew Doomsday episode ala Mark's
: Captain N64. (Which I thought was the worst
: of my works.) Some of them were pretty
: good, some I thought were great, some
: I thought were okay, some I thought needed
: a lot of work, and some I thought just
: plain sucked. Only a few of my fanfics
: survived the hardrive crash of 1998.
: (Nearly all of the good ones except
: Episode 2.) Captain N 2: Return of the Game Master
: was an CHDC (Casualty of the Hard Drive Crash).
: Since then I've been rebuilding better than ever.
Well..as long as we are talking about inspirations for books...mine began with a love of Link from the legend of Zelda. I wrote about 10 or 15 short stories,got to know the character and started imagining him in various adventures.Guess I really got hooked on Samus too,I loved the idea of a tough girl character being the star of a game.My novel started out as a "Samus Aran meets Link" project and kinda went from there - I added Captain N into the mix once the show had grown on me.Thing reached 2,000 pages before I found I prefered MegaMan (RockMan) and got more interested in redoing it from Rock's viewpoint,focusing on his story instead.
This has been a 10 year project for me consisting of endless notes,at least 5 or more unfinished rough drafts and a soundtrack of music (10 tapes worth so far) used to illustrate various scenes or characters.
Yes,if you are wondering,I do consider myself a serious writing weaving an elaborate fantasy for fans to enjoy ^_^ Been a writer for 18 years and I don't intend to ever stop.
