User:Bill Lumburg/Fan:Sonichu 11
This is a scratchpad for a work in progress. I'm currently a minor contributor but do not personally know the main artist its writers, or other contributors.
Note to self: upload this under new name "Sonichu Remastered" provided the title won't change again.
In the wake of the April 24th CWCipedia vandalizations, some forummers on Asperpedia decided that the version of Sonichu 11 was good, but they could do better. Much better, in fact, as the whole premise behind their new project would be to ultimately reshape the Sonichu continuity into a respectable, enjoyable comic.

Collaberation on the new Sonichu 11 began on this thread on April 27th; shortly thereafter, users were already brainstorming ideas for a reimagined Sonichu. The basic premise is that all previous Sonichu comics are to be considered cannon, but the new comic would add a significant twist: The Idiot Ball.
This magical plot device, borrowed from TV Tropes, is what causes the Sonichu characters to be the Naive jerks that they are. When Count Plot Cohesion deactivates it, the characters are freed from its effects and come to terms with the various atrocities they have committed, reevaluate their past relationships, and begin to search themselves for personalities that they previously were sorely lacking. The majority of the couples break up; at this point it is suggested that a few couples might be created that mess with Chris's original matchmaking. Furthermore, they see Chris for the lunatic that he is, and depose him.
The biggest kicker is that it will include the deposed mayor getting revenge on the traitorous mutineers by - what else? - drawing comics, just like IRL! So effectively the troll comic retcons all future Sonichu comics as being mere slander and butthurt.
The difficult part was creating genuine personalities, where the original characters had none, in a convincing and coherent way. One suggestion followed on popular troll theory that Bubbles is a ditzy airhead. After being liberated from the idiot ball, she is confirmed to have a low IQ, but decides to go to Law School anyway to improve herself and help undo the damage of the mayor's kangaroo courts. She will also be campaigning to repeal all of CWCville's draconian laws, including anti-homo laws.
Sub-episodes will focus on minor characters, and definitely NOT on Chris.
