You have to metaphorically make a deal with the devil. And by "metaphorically," I mean get your coat

I'm slightly disapointed in Futurama. The fourth season has the best episodes and then, nada. I only hope the tv movies will bring a few plots to conclusion (mostly i'd like Leela to acknowledge Fry loves her. I mean c'mon!? What's a guy to do? He risked his life for her and told her he loved her almost once per episode. Sheesh)

I am, however, totally into Bender. Go Bender.



I drew a few skecthes a while back for a silly love story. Unfortunatly my plot seems to be going nowhere.

The basic story was about a japanese child who's father - a famous tea ceremony expert - had discovered the secret of the tea of immortality. To protect this secret, he wrapped up a pouch of the immortality tea around his son's heart and destroyed the parchemin with the recipe. His son becomes a cool samurai who's wounds heal very quickly due to the tea. An evil sorceress finds out and tries to convince him to give up his heart to her. He says nay (cuz he rocks that way) and she's pissed. She zaps him to a hellish place - which turns out to victorian england. He roams the streets until he meets a young shopkeeper who works in her father's teahouse. She and the samurai work together and the teahouse becomes the toast of london. the sorceress gets angry, zaps to england and menaces the teashop girl. The samurai then wants to save her or something. Gah, my ending is non-existent.



Suggestions?

And yes, the tea can turn people into zombies.

So the (evil?) sorceress wants his heart to gain immortality, right? Is she hoping that if she sends him off to some hellish (alien more likely) place he'll fall into despair since he'd not be able to find love? And then when he does..... Actually, I see a lot of potential with the story but you'd want to detail things out more. It's always best to figure out motivations for characters because then the story just writes itself.

I have all the Futurama movies... Trust me when I say; nothing happens!

Ah, the tea can turn people into zombies. Hmmm. Immortality can come in many forms. One must know the proper procedures to have the results desired. One way preserves eternal youth, beauty and mind; another creates zombie slaves for evil, control freak sorceresses bound by traditions and terrified of encountering change and new experiences. The activation ceremony must be very, very precise and the preparers and drinkers be of a certain states of mind.

I like the story, the tea of immortality is a different idea. (And it's funny that it fits with my latest icon. *points to it*)

I do agree with Diane that figuring out the characters motivations is a good idea because then it's easier to figure out the plot and the ending.

As for other suggestions, hmm...maybe doing a bit of tea ceremony research might stir some ideas and finding the differences with English and Japanese tea?

Bender is ♥


Cute story! I have a hard time finding endings to the stuff I write! I have no suggestions at all, I'm afraid, Anything I'd come up with wouldn't do the sweet story justice.
