Hey guys, back from limbo yet again.
This thread made me sad. Paradigm-City was my home away from home for two or three years. I loved the writing and RPing, and miss Phoenix a lot, but back then he was suffering life issues. Unfortunately, a number of really vibrant members which would liven the place up are absent, or just don't know the place exists. On top of all that, there's the deal that the many,
many issues within Big O have been mulled to death, and no one has come along to bring a fresh perspective on all that. Or even newbs wanting to know if Big O is like The Truman Show. No one has started threads wanting to chat about the insane threads of mystery Chiaki J Konaka wove though his masterful plot.
I think the first step in that direction would be to see if we can schedule a campout here on the boards, trying to drag back in for the night, weekend, whatever, us current fans, old friends from PCF, and anyone else who has an interest in Big O, and just chat. Maybe do it in real time on IRC or something. And then there's this:
...As for what could be done - there are now the New Voyages of Star Trek - a private non-profit endeavor that has actually earned Paramount's approval and admiration. Perhaps the same could be done for Big O, utilizing some sort of animation software (as Stan Lee did with his 7th Portal webseries)?
This interests me a great deal. I think enough talent exists in the community to see about some groundwork on this. There is at least one script based plot for a Big O season 3, done by 6moondance and R Daniel, which I read and have the files on somewhere, but sadly, it kind of fizzled after ep 4. It did capture something of the original flavor, and it did chart it's own course. I'd love to see some new discussion on the subject of either creating a new plotline, or finishing what was started previously here.
