Episode 241: The Wandering Star Saga, part 2

Enough forced levity, time for forced drama

The incomplete original MSTing of Wandering Star Saga (Not to mention the original fic’s vanishing from the interwebs) left a lot of unanswered questions on the minds of many (Well, maybe some. Maybe), probably chief of which was ‘Who the hell are Minerva and Paladin and why do I even care?’ Well if you’ve lost precious sleep over that for the past years, prepare to be disappointed by the answer you get! That’s right, not only are our two Self Insertions barely in the chapter, there’s not even the slightest appearance by beloved alien warlord Krokojam! So what is there you might ask? The answer is wangst, block exposition and recaps. Disappointed? I know I am and I’ve been working on this.

That’s right, it’s the rebuild that took nine years to get to you, and you’ll realize why!

Episode 240 - The Wandering Star Saga, part 1

Episode 240: The Wandering Star Saga, part 1

I like Krokojam for his subtle, nuanced chracterisation..

Having composed her wangst potry epic My boyfriend was a clone and now he’s dead, Dana Sterling finds herself abducted by a random space thingy and sent to another franchise. Once there, she’s abducted again by the utterly gooney and yet utterly awesome Krokojam! An evil and sinister alien with a voice that is both monotone and full of ham at the same time, this vile overlord has a plan for the floating naked space chick he just found. What is it, you might ask? Well, we don’t actually know because the fic decides to digress into hilarious practical jokes and their near-fatal consequences. Throw in some visiting Mary Sues who can’t quite figure how to take over the fic and gratuitous use of stock footage and blatant author favouritism and you have the first chunk of the Krokojam Saga!

The Episode 240 teaser

Since it's Comicon season, I felt it was fair to hand out a teaser trailer of sorts for the perpetually in-progress Episode 240 (Which, incidentally, is now on the final micro-chunk of riffing before we get to edit, cleanup, host segments and stuff). As such, I can reveal three things about it:

1. It is a rebuild
2. It has a different cast to the original version
3. It reintroduces a character not seen so far in the "modern" Elmer Studios MSTings.

Feel free to speculate wildly and see you soon for Episode 240!

Episode 239 - Macross the Transformers Saga

Episode 239: Macross the Transformers Saga

Well enough hanging around and delivering plot points. Time to go back to killing space robots.

Imagine, if you will, the potential that might be in a Macross/Transformers crossover. Now imagine that said crossover simply consists of crossing out the word “Zentraedi” and writing “Decepticon” over it in crayon. That’s right, while they may be a different type of soldier warlord from deep space, the fic rigidly enforces pre-existing dialogue, scenes and characterization. Sure there might be some small changes like the odd horrific aviation accident or floating hat, but by the time the crossover starts, you’ll be wishing the fic was over! So instead focus on the intense rivalry between Roy Fokker and Axle and ask yourself the big question that comes from it: who is Axle and why do I care anyway?

July Update

As you can tell, there hasn't been much activity for the last few weeks. Unfortunately, ep 239 wound up blowing out and be a lot harder going then expected; as such, it's taking a lot of time to get done. The good news is that it is getting there; the last micro-Chunk is in editing now for compilation and then the final edit and host segments. ETA is later this week, fingers crossed.

On the good news update, Episode 240 is already in the early riffing stage with a good amount of material down so far. Material has been selected for Eps 241-246, with some riffs already in place. So once we get past this, new material should start coming fast.

Episode 238 - Girl on Fire, chapters 6-8

Episode 238: Girl on Fire, chapters 6-8

It seems we only have a half dozen characters. Phoenix, her family, Robin, and the poorly-defined mass that is everyone else.

Girl On Fire! Returning once more with amazing action and unbelievable danger! New villains appear! Watch teen super sensation Phoenix very nearly fight with her very own arch enemies! The Justice League are rendered helpless by a perfectly ordinary door! Witness amazing spectacles of the superhuman world! A secret mountain lair! A tragic past! Magic cure-all lotion! Things that are hotter than lava! Fake replacement parents! A nightmare inducing fireball! Familial relations repeated again and again! Mind-link conversations and people speaking in a foreign language! It’s everything you could want in a superhero fic, without all the inconvenience of having an actual cast or story!

Episode 237 - Showdown in San Riviera, chapters 1-6

Episode 237: Showdown in San Riviera, chapters 1-6

My name is Inigyo Montoya. You killed my donkey. Prepare to die

When revolution comes to the generic fictional South American nation of San Martino, the UN responds in the best way it can. That’s right, sending in a team of generic guys that nobody cares about who all promptly die horribly of their own ineptitude while attempting to fulfil some nebulously defined mission with no discernable goals. But what is the insidious plan of Baron Ironblood and his minions, Renegade Shepard, Colossus and Red Laser (who is Japanese) and why does he want this one non-existent nation? Actually, we have no idea, and the fic doesn’t give us a clue. What it does give us, however, is a strangely compelling video store clerk and the deadliest anti-personnel weapon ever devised: A donkey.
