MTMTE/LL script project.

I am reposting an updated person of this post so I can maintag it for visibility!

tl;dr: I am attempting to digitize the MTMTE/LL scripts that exist for archival purposes to prevent any of them becoming lost media in the future. And I am looking for help in this!

The long version:

I am trying to get scans or clear, readable photographs of all the MTMTE/LL scripts that exist for the sake of digitizing them and making sure they don’t wind up lost media. (Needless to say, me currently trying to get ahold of fandom stuff from 20-30 years ago and constantly running into brick walls because nobody has scanned their copies of things got me thinking about this, haha.)

These scripts are, in a lot of cases, literally just printer paper stapled together and sold at cons to a very few people. I would hate to see these disappear in a decade or two because we all wound up forgetting where we left them, or stuck them in the attic and damp got them, or whatever.

Roberts has been selling nothing but spares/leftovers of these for a while now, including at this year's TFN, where he had very few left and none of them were new prints as far as I could tell. (Rusty staples!) In addition, he's said he does not expect to be doing more cons for some time. The one time he sold them online in 2020 or so, it was explicitly just old stock. So at this point, getting my hands on more for this project means either getting folks to kindly contribute scans or sell me their copies on.

(Sidenote: at the moment I'm not 100% sure if JRo has finished up selling these forever, though it seems likely for the forseeable given the above. Even so, I’m a little leery of making this stuff super public until such a time as he confirms he's got no future plans, because I hate to eat into a potential way for creators to make some well earned money off their own work if it turns out he’s gonna sell more later. This project is to make sure an archive exists as futureproofing, but I don't currently plan to immediately make this a massive public repository. But obviously, anyone kind enough to contribute can have access to the drive.)

Below the cut is a list of a) what I currently have, b) what I expect to have soon and c) what I know exists and do not have. If you have anything I don't, and would be willing to scan or photograph it to contribute, please let me know. Alternatively, if anyone has scripts I don’t already own which rather than scan they’re interested in selling on, hit me up. I am not made of money, but I’m willing to pay a fair price to get my hands on them if needed. Just be aware I’m UK based.

Unscanned, for me to do: Lost Light #6, This Machine Kills Fascists (standard)

Unscanned, being scanned by others: Chaos Theory

Scanned or photographed: More Than Meets The Eye #6, Interiors (annotated) More Than Meets The Eye #9, Shadowplay Part One: Post Hoc More Than Meets The Eye #12, Before and After (standard) More Than Meets The Eye #16, The Gloaming (standard) More Than Meets The Eye #22, Little Victories (annotated) More Than Meets The Eye #28, World Shut Your Mouth: Towards Peace (annotated) More Than Meets The Eye #31, Twenty Plus One (standard) More Than Meets The Eye #35, The Custom Made Now (standard) More Than Meets The Eye #38, Elegant Chaos: Predestination, an Expert's Guide (annotated) More Than Meets The Eye #39, The Permanent Revolution (annotated) More than Meets The Eye #40, Our Steps Will Always Rhyme (standard and annotated) More Than Meets The Eye #47, The Lopsided Triangle (standard) Lost Light #6, This Machine Kills Fascists (annotated) More Than Meets The Eye #50, How Bright Their Frail Deeds (annotated) Lost Light #13, Sardines (annotated) Lost Light #25, How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2 (annotated) The Transformers Holiday Special, Silent Light/MTMTE #50 backup script (annotated)

Ones I am looking for and know exist: More Than Meets The Eye #4 (labelled #3), Life After The Big Bang (standard) More Than Meets The Eye #5, How Ratchet Got His Hands Back More Than Meets The Eye #14, Remembrance Day More Than Meets The Eye #21, Remain in Light: This Calamitous Life More Than Meets The Eye #35, The Custom Made Now (annotated) More Than Meets The Eye #43, The One Where They Go To Earth (annotated) More Than Meets The Eye #55, The Dying of the Light: Do Not Go Gentle

(Note: the scripts often have preliminary titles that differ from those above that were used for final issues. Also, for earlier issues, sometimes numbering is off by one, because projected issue counts shifted. The above is mostly guesses based on numbers JRo mentioned for scripts on Twitter and final issue names.)

You can contact me either here or on Twitter. And if you could let anyone know who you think could help and signal boost, I would appreciate it.

Thank you!

** Now Taking Pre-Orders **

I’m making Volumes 1 and 2 of the MTMTE Notebooks available worldwide. These unofficial but professionally-designed and -printed, perfect-bound A5 soft backs contain transcripts of my handwritten ‘ideas bible’ that formed the basis of MTMTE and LL

You’ll also find my Season 1 pitch, my note to IDW on TF creation methods, the original character/crew breakdown, and more. Basically, lots of behind-the-scenes process stuff

The books are only available as a set, i.e. you have to get both volumes. I’ll include a random MTMTE badge with each order. (You can buy specific extra badges for £1 a pop until I run out.)

Production costs have increased since TFN as I got a too-good-to-be-true deal last time (the printer quoted too low a price but agreed to honour it). New prices are as follows (all include shipping and a badge):

UK - £38

Europe - £42

Rest of World - £47

I have 35 sets left from the original print run. If orders exceed that amount I will order a second printing. I won’t start fulfilling orders until I have all the required books to hand.

You can order multiple sets, but I’ll need to work out the shipping.

Interested? Send your order to [email protected], telling me your name and address and how many sets you want. I’ll confirm receipt and give you payment details.

That’s it, I think! Thanks!

[taemmin]

ive found a few archives of some groups! momoland, lapillus, and tfn (all being archived on the same website); trendz (op only uploaded them to telegram, so i might try to archive them on youtube and google docs too); ladies code; m.o.n.t (not sure if its up to date tho); weki meki; and theres another archive of exid, including solji's solo stuff!

im going to try and archive some of the groups im most worried about becoming lost media, mainly dkb, brave girls, crayon pop, fanxy red, w24, romeo, and t-ara. once i get them archived, ill let you know! (and if i have the time do archive for more groups, i am open to anyones suggestions!) ill try to post updates on my tumblr blog @bangjaemin

kmn i just made an excel spreadsheet to see what i'd need to procure if i went to australia for a year or two with my citizenship, and funnily enough, it's not even applying for stuff like medicare and tfn i'm worried about - more like what i'd actually do?? i want to go to school, but at the same time, a girl's gotta eat. and pay rent.

#idk tbh #might work at a hotel and then have to bail bc i'm too disabled #then i'd be fucked in what is basically a foreign country #unless my relatives helped out #but i'm a bit old for that #personal #dual citizenship

[dojae-huh]

Do you think Dojaejung was planned? I mean, they didn't even bother to give them an actual unit name, just put the three boys name together and called it a day. Not to mention the logo, which you already talked about. And plus, Doyoung seems to be the only one promoting it, but I guess he's always been like that with NCT stuff.

Yes, for sure. DJJ had been a "maybe" for some time. The three were sent to promote together often or in duos in the past couple of years, they were given bridges in recent songs (JaeWoo in 2 Baddies, DoWoo in Ay-Yo), Doyoung mentioned already in 2021 how he would like to sing with JaeWoo given the opportunity.

Look at the examples of other groups, SM likes to repeat what worked in the past. SJ, GG and EXO all had/have mini sub-units. GG's TTS was formed because three members wanted to sing while other members were busy with their solo careers. You see the same picture right now: Yuta is filming in Japan, MarkHyuk are busy with Dream, Taeyong is preparing for his solo. A mini unit is a way to occupy members and try out a different genre, appeal to the public in another way. Seasoned artists already have a following and experience for a unit to become successful without a lot of investment.

As for last minute preparations, it's how SM works. It's how a lot of things are done in Korea (and in entertainment in general, tbh).

DJJ trended yesterday in Korea and worldwide. Most fans liked the concept. Koreans spend the most on luxury items. Everyone knows Jae and Do are into perfumes. GG released a collection of perfumes for their 15th aniversary, so NCTzens expect the same for DJJ.

As for the name. It is the tradition. All SM sub-units are made of initials: KRY, TTS, SBX, SC. Look at all the groups with samish names: TXT, TNT, TFN, TNX, TST...

🔥 tfa?

TFA should never be officially revived. In any form. I love it, it is and always will be "my" TF as the show that got me into the franchise properly as a teen- but it literally could never be continued in a way that is satisfying and true to the spirit of the original show. Only hardcore fans care enough to want that these days, which means the only way to make any continuation work is to appeal to those hardcore fans and focus in on all the Lore and stuff that adult nerds love… except TFA was great because it wasn't just for nerds obsessed with nostalgia. It was a show that was exactly of and for its time, and now that time has passed, and that's fine.

I'm so glad we got the quasi-official comic "conclusion" as a bonus, I am SO glad beyond words we got the amazing script reading at TFN of the proposed S4 opener and that really was a highlight of my past few years in the fandom, but I think we should let TFA be what it was now and stop insisting we need More. It's over! And it's really good! It's fine!

Started updating my main blog n my twitter again after years of doing very little with either, will get round to posting tf stuff on twitter now too so feel free to give them a follow if u wanna, link’s on my main blog! ✨

Will also aim to get round to typing up & posting the answers to the questions I managed to ask Jro about drift at TFN soon

[campyvillain]

toon factory now lore is so funny. a power hungry capitalists nephew fell into a vat of the cartoon equivalent of toxic acid and all he did about it was stick him in a dog cone. betty crocker has been rendered immortal and lives on in a cartoon goat woman that has a cooking show by day and stars in hyper violent horror movies at night. a character that is just shadow the hedgehog abandons their partner to get a cool tumblr tv head circa 2012 and gets anything they want because the people experimenting on them don’t want to be sued for permanent irreversible physical and mental damage. walt disney killed max headroom/danny elfman vocaloid’s computer mom right in front of him and left him with lifelong grief just to see what would happen. for the shits and giggles. there’s a for-hire killer that kills people by putting them in pokémon cards and everyone treats them like the grim reaper and is narratively treated like a slasher villain. an ambitious animator died and got turned into a corporate art style ghost that has the power to turn anything minimalistic and they hate their powers so much it’s unreal. all of these are actual characters and stories in-universe this all happens

#feel free to ask me to elaborate on ANY of these because it’s the wildest stuff. #tfn is my Living Cartoon ocverse btw #death m

‘It’ll probably stop once one of them ends up in the hospital’ for a second there i thought that was foreshadowing, but i guess it was only said to follow up with Amber’s plan,,, but still it’d be cool if they go down that road

I really like that theyre showing the entire girl squad knowing something’s up with Amber, the looks they all exchanged in the last clip felt so real! Like especially for her it feels like a 180 turn

Also the soundtrack yet again at the ending lf the first clip! ‘If you’re leaving let me down slowly’ being sung while she watches the guy she likes cozy up with some girl after all that happened saturday and then the screen going black... big yes

#wtfock #here i am again with my useless opinions about stuff #am i still going on abt the soundtrack? why yes #yes i am #wtfock has the best soundtrack and that’s the tea #i feel like one day im going to delve deeper in to why i think the soundtrack is so good #bc i talked abt it with a friend and she didn’t notice #anyway yea goodbye #my post #tfn

[incorrect-vrains-quotes]

good news! there are a lot of quotes in the queue right now cuz I spent the afternoon finding them.

bad news! they’re all from the same source (texts from last night) so uh enjoy a lot of everyone being disasters of every kind. mostly the sexual or drunken kind.

strange news! I recommend visiting the “A Series of Unfortunate Texts” tumblr because the person who runs it is fucking hilarious.

A bit of Plo Koon

This is for a friend​ who has fallen into The Clone Wars cartoon and entered the hell of stanning a minor PT-era Jedi.  So here’s a little bit of extra Plo Koon content for you.

(And if anyone wants to jump in with canon or fanfic recs for Plo Koon, I thoroughly invite it.)

First of all, I’m sorry to tell you this but a lot of Plo Koon’s most prominent modern content is from The Clone Wars cartoon, in part because Dave Filoni was a huge fan of the character.  

And by a “huge fan” I mean that he actually cosplayed Plo Koon to the premiere of ROTS. (Sidenote: That’s Giancarlo Volpe on the right as Kit Fisto who was also a director on TCW, as well as ATLA and GLTAS.)

Dave also apparently campaigned various “Plo Lives” stories to George Lucas:

TFN: Do you have a plan for why Ahsoka doesn’t appear in Revenge of the Sith?

Henry: Hmmm. Are you asking about the ‘theatrical’ version of Revenge of the Sith or the ‘Special Complete Perfect “Plo Doesn’t Die” Edition’ Revenge of the Sith? Psssst... You guys have no idea how powerful Filoni is getting at the Ranch.

Dave: There is some truth to what Henry is saying. I once pitched George the idea that Plo had a parachute and that he bailed out of his fighter before it crashed. Then George said he would only continue the scene and make Plo’s death more painful, I think his parachute was going to catch fire and he falls on something sharp. I even pitched Plo being added at the end of Return of the Jedi as a Blue Ghost but that didn’t go over either. As for Ahsoka’s future... I have ideas, even outlines that answer your question very specifically.

But yeah, multiple people have joked that he’d try to sneak Plo into an episode any time he could.

Actually, returning to the concept of Plo Koon and Kit Fisto working together, that’s actually an established thing that has happened a couple times, and it does show up in TCW as well. (And yes, they are shipped.)

There’s also a tie-in for the 2003 Genndy Tartakovsky series, Clone Wars Adventures, which has a teamup with these two in issue #6 that is about Kit and Plo dealing with a prison riot.  The characterization of Plo is a bit more violent and angry than in TCW, with Kit having to talk him into giving one of the prisoners a second chance, but he is pretty badass.  (Also, I like the Saesee Tiin story in that volume in particular, to rep another minor Jedi character.)

If you want good, extended TCW Plo and Kit content though, what you really want is the Clone Wars: In Service of the Republic comic, and I can easily say that it’s my #1 recommendation to you as a fan of TCW and Plo Koon since it is a tie-in story to the cartoon.

No, seriously, if you want more TCW!Plo Koon content, you want to read this comic.  There’s a running gag about Kit and the clones trying to guess Plo’s age.  I feel like I don’t need to say anything else about the story.

However, Kit Fisto is not his only Jedi Bromance.

In Jedi Council: Acts of War we get his friendship with a Jedi named Micah Giiett.

This one may be an odd one for you coming from TCW though because it was released in 2000, which was after TPM but before AOTC/ROTS, and some of what is presented in this comic (as well as some of the other comics from the period which I share) doesn’t quite mesh up with what we see in the rest of the prequels regarding the worldbuilding.  I wouldn’t put it as a must-read for the story either, but there are some sweet moments between Plo and Micah and it’s an interesting read to see how they extrapolated the universe out from only what we see in TPM.

Which also leads me to another point, which is that after Micah died, Plo Koon stepped in and helped finish training his padawan-- Bultar Swan.  Who is a huge badass herself and I am Forever Haunted by the fact there seems to be no actual content of the two interacting because this fact seems to have been the product of retcons but PLEASE, I NEED IT.  (There is exactly one fanfic in the universe about these two grieving Micah and it’s less than 500 words but I owe this author my life just for it existing.)

She’s also listed as his padawan in the most reliable of canon sources: Gurihiru’s illustrations for the Star Wars English-Japanese Dictionary

Now here’s where I admit that my reading of the Republic comics is a bit fuzzy because of having limited access to them and reading the series in bits and parts over the years.

With that said, on the subject of masters and padawans, I don’t think current canon/TCW has established any clear lineage for him but in legends continuity Plo was trained by a wookiee named Tyvokka.  Some of that relationship is in the focus of the “Stark Hyperspace War” story in Star Wars (1997) #36-39. (Also, baby Obi-wan and Quinlan is nice too.)

Plo also has a bit of a role in the “Emissaries to Malastare” story in  Star Wars (1997) #13-16, in which they give him Special Font to make him really cool and mysterious.  (Also, a fun Depa & Mace teamup in that story and A’Sharad Hett, the Tusken Jedi.)

In more modern comics, there’s some nice little appearances in the Clone Wars- Battle Tales, especially issue #2 which has him rescue the Wolfpack.

Beyond this, he absolutely shows up in the background of a lot of things because he’s a cool and recognizable alien, as well as part of the Jedi Council, but he doesn’t really have much of a role beyond exposition.

This is focused on the comics, but that’s the part of the EU (outside of TCW) where he’s gotten the most chance to shine.  He hasn’t played any substantial role in any of the PT-era books I’ve read, let alone video games or other media. (Playing as him in Lego Star Wars doesn’t count, although I do appreciate it.)

He does show up in a couple of James Luceno’s books in particular, but not in a particular substantial role. I saw Cloak of Deception mentioned when I was poking around to see if I was wrong about this, but that really does seem to be about it when it comes to his book appearances.

(They also visit his homeworld, Dorin, in the first Fate of the Jedi book: Outcast, and while that’s Post-ROTJ EU and while I can’t recommend the series as a whole, the first book does have some sort of interesting stuff about his species/planet.)

I’m also sadly short on fanfic recs since I don’t regularly read a lot of Star Wars fanfic except for when I’m needing a very specific niche filled and I haven’t really gone looking for a lot of Plo fic.  (Outside of the time I scoured the internet for Bultar & Plo content.)

I’ll end by making sure that you know about the existence of the “Plo’s Bro’s” gunship.

As well as the fact he adds the Wolfpack symbol to his gauntlets later in the war.

BUT ANYWAYS.  WELCOME TO MINOR JEDI FANDOM HELL.
