There is a hidden forum here called "The Copper Room," where 6moondance and I have slowly produced a fan-made Season 3. We've been at it for over a year. I've given it on-and-off attention with major contributions of plot and story; 6moondance has always provided analysis and assumed the role of the editor.
We did this to answer the questions left after Act 26 and to simply enjoy the Big O universe for just a little longer. For me, this meant introducing some new characters, extrapolating how some characters might change after Act 26, and figuring out how to answer the big questions in proper Big O style, all without straying from the source material. It taught me a lot, not just about telling stories but also about myself.
I've generally plugged away with mindless determination, but a few weeks ago, my motivation finally dried up. I've nurtured this pet in the dark. Now it's coming out, hopefully to inspire a finished product.
We have six finished scripts with working titles. Each script is about 24 pages long, around the proper length for a 22-minute episode.
The remaining seven episodes are as detailed summaries--not anything to show.
Starting October 5, I will upload one script every Sunday at 11PM, in PDF format.
Alright, guys, this is it. If you want more, I'll gladly finish. If your encouragement is especially strong, I'll even make some art, or even better... a little animation.
I'm open to suggestions, not just about the story but also about better ways to upload or release the scripts. For example, I could use "Script Buddy" instead of "filesanywhere.com," if it makes any difference.
I'm glad that you guys are still around and that a semblance of our sites still exist. Maybe this project will have some effect. We'll see.
