Quote:Except for the Gainax jokes. When I can work up the nerve for them.
I suspect that this point is one where we're just not going to be able to reach agreement. You like the slapstick-style comedy - that's wonderful. But it isn't the be-all and end-all of the setting, and it wasn't the be-all and end-all of the setting even before I started writing in it. (If I recall correctly, most of what Feinan and Valles have written is lacking in broad humour.)
Hrm. Maybe we should try character writeups? Get things clear and in the open, like.
Natalie Baker
Primary Writer: Valles
Notable Mundane Attributes:
* Hey, I've Heard of Her: 'First Fan'
* The Woman From UNCLE: CIA... Agent? Front? Analyst? All of the above?
'Wavium Abilities:
* Okay, Who Spiked the Punch?: Pretty girl with huge... tracts of land.
Quirks:
* Case of the Blahs: Goes into funks when asked to self-motivate
* Not Quite Ben Stein: Doesn't do very well setting up 'wavium systems.
* Where'd I Put My Glasses?: Nearsighted
* Stupid Tall People: Short (5' 1")
* Shameless Pinko: Favors Social Democratic politics. Vocally, and sometimes at length.
* Gravity is Not my Friend: 42-24-33
* Sshh: CIA alliegance.
And, in my mind, Natalie does have a comedic role besides fanservice: She's [url=http://allthetropes.org/wiki/Unfunny[/url].
