MEME: Create Your Own TV Show Meme

[caffienekitty]

Okay. This meme is evil. Because first it's all "*brain goes totally blank*" and then it's all "Well, I'll pick some actors and a concept and just do it" and all of a sudden it's twelve fifteen pages of political background, culture design, character backstory, mini-scenes and notes on location scouting and budget concerns, and, and gaaaaaah!! No

Oooh. That looks like fun. Also, thank you for teaching me a new word; I had never heard the term "redact" before

What she said. Also

Kai+Kiki= ♥ and ARE THERE PIRATES? Are they crack!fic pirates like Cpt Jack Sparrow? When the pirates finally are gone does Kai look at the rest of them and say "Ok, the CEA might have a point about Rum."

Kai+Kiki= ♥

Hee! I know. They're too damn adorable not to have scenes together. Future seasons they'd get to be closer friends and some kind of big brother-baby sister relationship, except it'd be weird because of the differences in their cultures. I might have Kiki start to relax on the asteroid culture and just be a kid once in a while, but that would be weird and a source of strife between Kai and the Captain... hmmm.... Also if there wasn't crack-fic about Kiki getting imperiled, Kai freaking out and racing off to rescue her only to find she'd rescued herself, Kai getting caught in the process and subsequently she has to rescue him, I'd write it.

ARE THERE PIRATES?

Hell yeah there's pirates! Half the outer-world economy started out as piracy of one kind or another.

Are they crack!fic pirates like Cpt Jack Sparrow? When the pirates finally are gone does Kai look at the rest of them and say "Ok, the CEA might have a point about Rum."

Those are the ones who kidnapped Kiki. *nods*

Panel Questions

[caffienekitty]

First things first.

I had never heard the term "redact" before.

It's one of those nifty words that shows up every so often in life and isn't used as frequently as it should be.

As for the series, it has intrigued me and made me full of questions (my normal response to most things).

Hee! Cool! This is like a convention panel! XD

(Hehe. Part ONE...)

Are you going to take relativity into account with the Gen ships?

The Gen ships would be slow-boats; probably no faster than .25 c and designed more for endurance over a long life than speed in reaching a destination. There may have been some fudging around with nigh-relativistic speeds as the tech developed, but I figure they found short-hop jump drives more practical and an easier tech to develop when breaching light-speed turned out to be more dangerous than anticipated. No saying it's not being worked on in the Outer worlds though.

What is the difference between Generation ships and Life ships?

Lazy proofreading. Uhhhh... I mean, Generation ships were the earliest ones, and

You have way too much time. Or brain.

[caffienekitty]

Actually I have very little time, which is one of the main reasons this took five months to post. :-P

[aescu]

Then it must be brain :)

[gigglingkat]

MUAHAHAHAHAHAA.

The madness spreads!!!!

Dude. You made an ENTIRE TV SEASON out of people jonesing for COFFEE. YOU ARE A GOD.

There was more but LJ ate my first comment apparently. *sadface*

But I will tell you from experience. Posting this? Won't stop you from writing scenes or scouting locations or envisioning sets. Nope.

Also, we totally steal David Tennant's passport and he has to stay. It's an imaginary TV Show! THERE IS NO BUDGET!

God, that prompt I was all "Coffee. How the hell do I do a show about coffee??" And there was research, and some interesting things about coffee and politics, caffeine as a banned substance, and then idea of coffee needing rediscovered in the far future, then the Purge and then the political stuff, and... yeah. *headshake*

There was more but LJ ate my first comment apparently. *sadface*

Naughty LJ. *smacks*

But I will tell you from experience. Posting this? Won't stop you from writing scenes or scouting locations or envisioning sets. Nope.

Yeah, geez. I just posted another couple thousand words in answer to whistler_wren's questions up above. It's like a convention panel. XD

Also, we totally steal David Tennant's passport and he has to stay. It's an imaginary TV Show! THERE IS NO BUDGET!

I know. Due to an overabundance of bookkeeping in my life, even my imagination has a budget. So sad. *pouts*

[luu_alita]

I will regret it but I'll do it.

I do already have plans for a book once I leave my current job though. :p

Here you go:

Good luck with the book!

[delphinapterus]

This is awesome! I would love to watch this show you've created. It's got everything I want in a show. Awesome female characters, neat setting, fun plot, and diverse range of character types. Also I love the coffee plot and the side notes about casting costs etc.

[caffienekitty]

Thanks! It was a challenging meme.
