This is the new thread for all of us that'll get together and come up with new ideas to keep TGAH the way we want it, and try to not let Hollywood bastardize it in any way, shape,or form. This is where we'll post our ideas, and do this together as a whole (and hopefully have a lot more people on this than before).
Thanks
Ted

Don't know if this will start the ball rolling or whatnot, but I wrote a story about a month ago based on a what-if I had where Ralph and Pam have a daughter and pass the suit over to her. It's set in present day, and as such the three have different jobs, etc. Here's the link to it: www.fanfiction.net/s/2914239/1/Hope this helps, if nothing else just as a laugh. Also, there is a way I got around "GAHeroine," but it explains itself in the first chapter.

Your story was good. You see, that's what I need for this to actually work this time. I need people who can tell and write stories, people that can help come up with ideas, people that'll stick with it until it's finished. Let's say that there is about 300 people who are a part of this group. If only ten percent volunteer, that'll be a much bigger start to it than the last one where only 7 people volunteered, and even then they didn't stick with it at all times. I need dedication, I need constant communication for this to really work out. So spread the word... TGAH will be back in some way, shape or form to the specifications that we want and remember. There will be new ideas to make. Now all that I need is some volunteers.... So, as a certain someone said(not GAH..sorry)in ED3..."Now...who's with me? " I can't do this without your help. Thanks Ted

Thanks Ted Thank you for the compliment Ted. It's one of my favorites, but also a challenge to write. I'd be interested in helping you, but it would have to wait until next month as I'm real busy now (not by choice. ) When I'm available, I'll let you know.

Thank-you, that'll be great. It'll probably take ahwile to get some people together and get them all on the same page and ready to get started on something. I'll keep in touch. Thanks again.

I probably won't be super involved, but I usually read over things for people. I am great at poking holes...I mean uh...helping correct things that might not fit right.

Cool. I can always use someone that's good at poking holes...uh I mean reading over stuuf to help correct if necessary. This is a good start. With a list of potential ideas, some direction, and some good volunteers that'll stay til the very end, who knows how far we can go??(hopefully farther than my last attempt). Anyways, thanks all, and talk to you soon!!!

Just a few thoughts for now.... 1)try to re-do GAH for a new generation with current time updates, and remove any silliness that Disney would put in (maybe our own fan film???) 2)still try to do the reunion (as a whole like my idea) or have Ralph still have the suit, and forget about what happened in Heroine like it never happened, and have Ralph do one more mission or something before passing on the suit. 3)a new Heroine done properly this time 4)cartoon with the original actors doing the voices and us writing the episodes and the drawings.
Just a thought to keep it alive. let me know what you think.

I like the setting it up new without the silliness. I also think that it is important to keep HEROINE in mind. I think it should be a progression rather than starting over (like SJC is doing with the A-TEAM). I think it would be great to have the original trio in it somehow, but not with Ralph wearing the suit...not even Pam...I can't believe I typed that. Cartoons might work, but I am less inclined to think those will get much positive reaction. After all, kids nowadays wouldn't understand the importance of the show on a character level and I think it should be kept as close to the original as possible.

Just a thought to keep it alive. let me know what you think. Ted Unfortunately, because it has been shown, there will be people who remember "GAHeroine," so it simply being forgotten would not work. When I wrote "Ties..." I wrote it in a way that I felt was plausible for a reunion of the original trio in present day. It contains the spinoff in a way that would fit for both new viewers and original fans. Those who have been long time fans would be perceive it as Holly being a dream while new fans would see it as a premonition to Aidan's getting the suit. I'm all for them animating it, but there is the care that needs to be done in order for it to work. A lot of people are used to "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," "Futurama," etc., all of which are a bit farce at times and also poke fun at themselves. Having a slightly more serious cartoon is risky, but it could work.

I still think a new regime should be built in...maybe a movie episode similar to DON'T MESS AROUND WITH JIM which would star the old trio interacting with a new team. That way everyone gets something they want out of it. I just don't think that a reunion movie with Ralph in the suit would be that successful. DUKES OF HAZZARD reunion was one thing because the concept didn't change...HEROINE changed GAH enough to make a reunion hard to do...even the way MelMac wrote it...some people would never accpet it as a dream...and I doubt SJC would allow it.

That's why I said that it's the way I saw it, not soliciting it (And... a girl can dream can't she? ) I'm saying it's possible to have a proper handover with the original characters and start a new series that's a proper continuation. Besides, it was something I saw as a great challenge, and based on the comments I received, it was well worth it (and it was fun regardless). But, as far as a movie, in this case as an example, if they did something along those lines, that dream bit would be trashed anyway as it was set in 1986. Because of the actor's ages, especially Culp's, they'd have to have it where Bill mentions it in passing at the school or something, not actually film it. Would slow down the pace too. And... that's if they did use it at all. (Bear with me too, I've got a bad turkey (polite) sunburn on the back of my neck only and it's really buggin' me. )

Thanks for the input. Let's find a way to get people together on this and start bouncing ideas off each other and try to get something started with this. We could do it similar to the game thread that was on here, or something like it. anyways, let me know. (especially your ideas on how to get people on here involved).
Thanks again
Ted

I am not for sure what to tell you on getting people involved. People say things like that and then get busy or stay off the boards for a while, etc. It is hard to keep people involved because of life. Then, everyone has different ideas. For example, I have always hated the "give the suit to Kevin with Tony as his partner" idea because it is too convenient and unrealistic for me. People also try to ignore HEROINE, so that would make working with some people even harder. As for the game thread, if you read the two completed ones and the current one in progress, you will see how everyone comes from different approaches and how that can make the game harder to tell a complete plot or story. I think you would be better off to find one or two very involved people and work on writing ideas or getting a major focus for the movie, and then come to the board as a unified front asking for ideas or critiques on it. Then, once you get it, taking those into consideration and working with your team to write it with that input...and every now and then coming back to let us know what you are doing and get our input. Otherwise, I think you could wait forever to do it. As I said, people are busy and come from different concepts about what should take place, IF it should take place at all. I would be willing to lend a hand as I said, but I would want an idea of where you wanted to go with it...because I can't stand Tony to be the new Maxwell or Kevin the new Ralph. Good luck though and keep us posted. I would still read the previous two game threads and the current one. I would suggest joining the game thread in progress for a week or two and see what I mean by how hard it is to write like that. Just a thought, but I think a good one if you are going to write something like what you are planning. Also, go to the fanfiction sites and read that stuff. I know that MelMac has put a story on the Pam board you can read. And Lauren has a Katt site that you can connect to from the KATT FORUM and she has a lot of fanfiction there. The more you read...the more you are supposed to know after all. PM me or leave me a note here if you have more questions I can be long-winded in answering.

I'm just as bad too HD, given that 4,343 last post in the first one. I do agree with you, however, as having several people can be a benefit/disadvantage. The first game thread finished up better than the second simply because there were only two of us finishing out, one who had written in it from the get-go (me) then one who joined in seven months later (HD). Second one went all over the place and wasn't quite as good (well... in addition to some other things that didn't go write. ) In addition to the stories on the sites HD's listed, you can also find GAH stories on the fanfiction.net site. All of the ones I've written that I've published so far are on that site (I'm TigreMalabarista there). Lauren's (LoneWolfette) and msboku's are also good stories to read on that site as well, as are all of them.

Okay. so how about this? I'll put a new thread out for volunteers to join up to help with writing, and after getting a few volunteers that can write, and can stay with it for the entire duration(even though if you can donate at least an hour a day for writing etc), then we'll go from there.
Thanks again gang.
I'll be back
Ted

That will probably work. You might have to wait a while though for people who are interested and able to help. Hope you brought a large case of patience with you.

Don't worry, I have. especially with the last go-around that I attempted to bring together. I'll give it awhile and see what happens. wish me luck

Good luck. You still might be better off just writing on your own and having people critique it rather than waiting for partners.
