If you're offended by my comments, you can show your feelings by voting for Unsavory as the most evil board member. Vote now! Torgo: If it sounded like I was calling your scripts stupid, I wasn't. I was just referring to our script writing assignments as stupid. Oh I knew what you meant. I was just poking at how cryptic it was.

Just how long does it take for you to come up with the ideas? I imagine some research is involved. Well, my first story was just me saying to myself "make fun of the Matrix, and make it funny damnit!" I had so much fun writing it that I decided to spoof the sequels too. I ended it all with a humorous tack on ending involving the Sliders. Back then I had no idea I was going to write a continuation. I was lying in bed one day thinking about Sliders and how much it sucked that it ended it's run on a freakin' cliffhanger. I was thinking about writing my own sixth season, but for some reason I shifted my focus toward the ending of the Revelation. I thought about "what would happen if Mike and Joel slid with the Sliders?" and I smiled. One of the first jokes I came up with was the ending with Sam Beckett, and then I thought "what if I continued from there?" I've come up with basic outlines for the rest of my stories, but when I'm actually writing them, I'm pretty much winging it. I know where I start, what I want to do, and my destination. I just make the road up as I go along. And yes, I do plan to end this some day. I got that story cooked up too. But you'll know the final story when it comes. As for how I get my ideas, I'm just a major fan of MST3K, the Matrix trilogy, Sliders (so much that I know a lot of the behind the scenes history), and Quantum Leap. I've seen enough episodes of each to know most of the rules and I'm riding with them.
