Ya know, now that I think about it, it does feel like the name change has created a whole new character. At least to me anyway. A "death" to Michaelangelo and then a rebirth of Michelangelo. Guess I'll see how this new infant hold out in the Turtle world.

Sounds like he/she thinks that because they changed the name, the character also changed... :x

Oh so you ment cherubae! I tought you were replying to Donatello's post. You should learn how to quoute.. It's easy juts prest the quote button of the post you want to quote.

Rez you write fanfics? :teek: didn't knew that...

These are my first.

As for titles, I have one called "TMNT 2000". While the number may be outdated and the plot within, let it be known that the idea for this story came about around late 1998 or 1999. I even had dreams of this becoming an arcade game, but doesn't look like that will happen... :roll:

The other was a new idea I thought of only about a month and a half ago. Being the avid Latin student that I am, I decided to make one where Shredder, Krang, and all the foot time travel to the Roman Empire (around the reign of Domitian). The most witty title I could think of is "When In (Technod)Rome".

Well?

I take great offense in that comment.... :x :x :x

Latin is not as boring as you might think it is. I too used to think otherwise, but then when I moved to a new school, it was the only remotely appealing foreign language to take (the choices were Spanish, French, and Latin). You learn a great deal of Roman history while studying, MUCH more than what they teach in you in regular world history. It's also been statitiscally proven that Latin students score the best on verbal portion of the SAT. Hell, I wrote an argumentive (sp?) paper in my English class last year saying how Latin is quite possibly the best foreign language to take in high school, despite the fact that nobody speaks it anymore (I got a perfect 100 on it, no joke...I can scan it for you if you'd like).

TO GET THIS BACK ON A TMNT RELATED TOPIC...I'll say again that my second fanfic idea will involve the Foot taking control of Ancient Rome that time will completely alter itself in Shredder and Krang's favor, thus ruining the Roman influence and causing what we call the present to never happen. Don't worry, I won't make it sound like a textbook; it'll have plenty of action and carnage.

As for the first fanfic idea that I mentioned, I will try as hard as I can to not make it "kiddy" or funny in any way. In fact, I hope to implement a part in the story where Krang dies (literally), the Technodrome is completely destroyed (not just battered like it was in "Divide and Conquer"), and many other twists.

I'm giving away too much; I might have already jeopardized my own creativity by revealing what I have... :sick: :sick: :sick:

Uh... :blanksta:
No comment :sweatdro: but it sounds ok, maybe i'll read it.
So krang dies and the t-drome blows up or whatever...but what about shredder?will he move to france? :D
BTW...the title does seems a bit outdated...but, wtf, you've been like 3 years writing that thing? :P
Maybe you could change it to TMNT 2003 :goofygri: or 2097, and throw some robots in it!'kay ill shut up now.. :P

Karpo_007 12-18-2002 04:44 AM

I know few words inlatin: Televisio and Video :lol:

Fan fics sound good so far, Rez! Readers love teasers. And I love the titles. Especially the TechnodRome one. Sounds like something they'd actually have used on the cartoon.

Whatever, please don't send me the paper, I would fall asleep, and I am saying that not to piss you off, but because it is true... I am surprised you didn't take Spanish, that is a language you can actually use in the world...Latin gives you a boost in verbal big whoop, take an SAT prep class.... :sleep:

Anyway, Fershrazz, you spelled it WRONG! :evil: :wink:

Mr. Snackpants 12-18-2002 02:26 PM

who cares, it's still good 'ol MichELangelo :lol:

Karpo_007 12-18-2002 03:30 PM

Yeah, the character doesn't change. Or maybe he does it is a new cartoon, and it seems that new Mike is combination of Original Mike and Party dude. But the change has nothing to do with the name.

Tokka-B 12-18-2002 04:10 PM

That's what I have been trying to point out to this person for the past 50 posts...... :roll:

Hey, it's not my fault that you don't want to take a really interesting, fun, and beneficial course in the long run. Have you ever stopped to think that some of the most educated people on this planet have learned Latin as one of the many foreign languages they've taken in their life? 9 times out of 10, they have.

...and I am saying that not to piss you off
Well, apparently you did, because that's certainly the result now. Don't open your mouth (figuratively speaking) if you don't have something significant to say. If you wanted to avoid the flaming that I'm giving you right now, then you shouldn't have mentioned everything in the first place. As Apple Cat said, we really didn't need to know what your thoughts were about Latin at the time. By doing so, however, now you've started an argument that's way off the topic. I just made a simple comment about how my 2.5 years of Latin study has given me an inspiration to incorporate something into a fanfic that I want to write. I only mentioned it in one sentence; I was not giving anybody a Latin lesson. Sounds to me like you were just asking for proverbial butt-whooping.

1) I decided not to take Spanish mainly because it wasn't of interest to me. I hear it so damn much in my home town that it makes me sick! (no offense Nicko :roll: ) Plus I don't plan on visiting any Spanish speaking countries in my life nor do I anybody who speaks Spanish as their first language, so why bother? Besides, Spanish is a Romance language anyway, so you might as well say that I'm learning early Spanish (amigo comes from the Latin amicus, which means "friend").

2) I never said I or anybody else in Latin class took it SOLEY for the purpose SAT prep, you moron. I just used an example of how beneficial it was by giving a statistical fact. It does more than just prepare you for a standarized test; in the end it might help you write a better resume, help you understand what the doctor is talking about without having to tell you in layman terms (many medical terms are almost direct Latin and Classical Greek), and in general it can help you write a better English paper. Take me, for example: ever since I started taking Latin my sophomore year, my writing has improved a great deal....and I mean GREAT deal. I've even impressed my English teacher from last year with some Latin (she always used to joke around with me about it). Hell, I just remembered that out CALENDAR is based on the ancient Roman version. Blah blah blah...

Tokka, I can safely deduce you as a mirror image of Stifler from the American Pie movies: doesn't have a clue, only worries about the moment, and has no appreciation for education. Don't even think about comparing me to Finch; I don't think a geek like him would dress the way I do (jeans and polo/t shirts and backwards baseball cap). Besides, I'm not THAT geeky: I don't know advanced physics or do terribly well in math either. Thank you, good night, end of argument.

TO GET THIS ON A TMNT-RELATED NOTE ONCE AGAIN SO THAT I DON'T GET INTO TOO MUCH TROUBLE:

Did I ever mention that my Latin teacher likes TMNT as well? :D :D :D That's what I get for having a teacher who was a teenager in the 80s...
