My Turn for My Story

Status - Level 9, 29% (expect reviews soon), 560 approx posts, nothing new. Few notes before I say anything. Apparently, the off-air status of Krypto is temporary for a week or too. Thanks to catfan1 for pointing this out. My fan fiction should get started this weekend (no promises, but I think I can actually make some headway here). I'm ordering new shirts from www.jinx.com (clothing for gamers, geeks, and hackers ;)). With any luck, I'll get them in a few days. OK, since passiton did a story of how he came to TV.com, it's my turn :) - April, 2005. I managed to see the very end of my first Krypto episode, Krypto's Scrypto. I wondered exactly what the show was, never seeing it before. Yes, I figured out it was Krypto the Superdog, and quickly tried to find a time to watch one of its episodes. As I began to watch the show more, it became more of a cult following to me, and I quickly scoured the internet for ways to learn more about the show. In May, I grew more attached, and finally located the Superman Homepage, where not even they had much to say about the show (more than anywhere else, though). I asked a few questions of some people there (Felix Vasquez Jr., author of the KtS reviews, and Steve Younis, owner of the site), and this eventually gave me access to TV.com, where I quickly located the Krypto forums. That...was the easy parts. Yes, the next month I made a frantic effort to contact WBA (yes, I suppose this is month by month for you ;)). I searched all over after seeing the amazing ideas that the boards "inhabitants" had created, trying to give these episode ideas for Krypto to the production team. Finally, a breakthrough. Contact the president of Cartoon Network. Hmmmmm...? He's at a conference? OK...it's redirected me to another e-mail adress if it's urgent. Next e-mail I get was forwarded to the leader of Customer Services at WB, Rita Cooper. I asked her for help a few times. After the first few e-mails, I didn't get any response, and I sent another one which more clearly stated what I want. "OK, give me the info you want forwarded and I'll give it to production." Score ;) Next...telling everyone that I'd delivered the ideas. Sure, easy enough, you'd think...not when I don't use IM and I don't know the e-mail adresses of everyone. Ouch...what? I look inside a single lone profile and find a website adress (Isaac6356). I go there, and finally see what I have to do. Duel Monsters Expert (DME) was a Yu-Gi-Oh! forum (I was previously into YGO, so I knew what to expect). I had to sign up (easy) to send a PM to Isaac. Once I finally finished the PM, it gave me an error message (given if you've been on the site too long without any activity, which was essentially what sending the PM was). I thought I might have done something wrong, so a few days later, I send another one, which makes it through. A few hours later, I see the topic about it on the Krypto forums. Score 2 ;) The reason I didn't just get on and say anything myself was that, for some reason which is now known, after signing up for TV.com, it wouldn't log me in. Apparently, some software we once used called GhostSurf was blocking access. When turned off, it would let me on, which is when I finally logged into the site: July. But before that, I had felt an unusual attachment to the DME boards. It had a fan fiction section, where Isaac had his Krypto fan fic. I decided to let my imagination wander, and thus made Chaos Chronicles. At first, I thought it seemed good, being naive to the fact that the story as a whole sucked. But, now, I finally understand everything I did wrong, and so I'm gonna go back and fix everything about it, storyline and concept. Today, Chaos Chronicles is now completely fixed within my own mind, and I know just what I need to do in order to make it successful. I found a site that excepts script format, www.ficwad.com, and now I've pretty much completely turned my back on www.fanfiction.net. After arriving to TV.com, I was finally able to introduce myself to everyone that had heard of me. If you can remember my name, then that's good. If you don't know it, and you're a Krypto fan (like myself, hence the name), then listen good. I've gone where many fans can't venture, which makes me one of the show's most dedicated members. I look forward to the future of Krypto :) - James Owens - Alias: Aeonis, kryptofreak120
