Wagner & Waggoner
Going through my writing folder, I came across the finished version of the Wag & Wagg tv show episode guide that I did a few years ago (with help from Ms McGuire) and whilst the essential concept started out as a spoof of crap 'buddy' detective shows, by the time I finished off the episodes, it had become this hugely mad, insane, high concept fourth wall breaking piece of meta-fiction that not only rewrote itself regularly, commented on it's own textual inanities but decided to take in several different universes as well.
Here's one episode from the run into the series finale.
I'm trying to decide whether or not to put it into 'Romantic stories for vampires' in some kind of adapted form.
Episode twelve)
Prelude to a closure II : Two dice walked into a bar

Summary : A history of all the games playing, games master, games pawn, games rule keepers groups- set at the dawn of time and following their influence all the way up to modern day. Yolanda is on the run from alternate universe versions of W& W in a blaxploitation reality, the UGGE are all burned and only the emergence from a trashy eyeliner street culture of the God of Mischief, Loki hotpants himself can save the reality as we know it. The two female wagg& wag’s are hot on the trail of Yolanda as well and it’s only when Loki delays them with a mass street rally of his gothic followers that Yolanda has a chance to escape into another tv set where she meets an alternate version of herself (very gay pretty girl) who escapes with her to the ‘unseen realms’ of television, where ditched pilots live and concepts for brave new shows never make it past basic scripting. It is there that the Eternity Bailiffs show up and take Yolanda and her alternate counterpart into custody as material witnesses to the trial of Waggoner & Wagner. They are taken to the central court and to the specific court-room where W& W are about to be tried for crimes against fiction.
It is there that they discover the real Waggoner & Wagner who are about to be put on trial for crimes against tv realities and the breaching of fourth wall laws of entertainment. This is a court of multiple realities with several different versions of the boys from diff realities: the girls, the gay detectives, the manga version, the 1940’s guys, the mime version, the musical version, the 19th century detectives, the Disney cartoon versions, the native American duo plus wolf version. All of the W& W’s from various realities have been cut off from other realities they might ‘infect’ and their respective universes put on PAUSE whilst the trial proceeds. The show ends with the Prosecution ( also played by RJ Wagner) attorney listing the charges and reminding the court of the gravity of the charges and that if found guilty, that the principals will be wiped out of existence forever.
