2008 TTA Fan Fiction Mailers.

* 07) July 2008 Mailer

Hiya, Toonsters, and welcome to the July 20th, 2008 Mailer for the Tiny Toon Adventures Fan Fiction Mailing List!

Yes, your eyes do not decieve you, a new TTA Fanfic Mailer is in your inbox! Before I get into it, let me apologize for the fact that there has not been one in almost 6 month's time. I have been having trouble finding time to devote to putting it all together, and it seems like every time I tried too, something was getting in my way. But, that is finally no longer true. I nice new Mailer is here, with lotsa great new stuff for you to enjoy!

Okay, first, a few announcements. Since it has been so long since the last Mailer, and since we have a few new members that this will be there very first one ever, I'd like to restate the "submissions policy." In a nutshell, new Tiny Toons fanfic, should be e-mailed to me at HKUriah [at] AOL [dot] com. The story should be attached to your e-mail as a plain ascii text format file. (whatever.txt) It should not be a Word .doc, or any other word processor specific format. Please use ordinary ' for apostrophies and " for quotes, not the fancy curley "smart quotes" versions. These have a tendancy to not be viewable by everyone, and can mess up the file. Also, please put a hard line return at the end of each line of text. Again, this is for universality of veiwing by anyone on the net. If you don't submit the stories this way, I have to make all these changes before I can post, and that just eats up more time. Oh, and be sure to include the story's title, and your author credit (name or screename and e-mail) so you can be properly credited. That info should also be in the story itself, just after the title.

For Artwork, if it is based on a fanfic, please say which fanfic it is based on, and who the author is. (Either yourself, or some other author) If it is not fanfic based, please indicate that it is for the Doodle Page. You can submit any artwork you have drawn, of course. For artwork you have not drawn, if it is based on your fanfic, that's okay too. Just be sure to tell me who drew it, and how to contact them. For artwork not based on your fanfic that you did not draw, please include info on how I can contact the artist to make sure it's okay to post it.

In other news, as I am sure everyone knows by now, Tiny Toons will soon be out on DVD! Be sure to pick up your copies as soon as possible once they hit the stores.

On a related topic, the contents of Volume 6 of the Looney Tunes DVD set has been announced, along with the cover art. I have to mention that Bosko is on the cover. :) Word is that this will be the LAST set in this series, but that in 2009, a new series of DVD releases will be started, releasing cartoons that were not released in this first series. Whey they just don't call it volume 7, I do not know. We shall see.

Finally, on a more personal note, I can't make any promises that I'll be able to do these things more regularly like I used to, but I am going to try. All I need is for stuff to be sent to me. I am aware of some things by veteran authors that are nearing completion, and I look forward to seeing them, and sharing them with all of you as soon as I can.

Okay, so much for all of that. Now, onto the things that have brought us all here, the new strories and artwork!

Starting out with new fanfics, we have the following...

Elmyra, the Flying Girl by Rkerekes13 (Rkerekes13 [at] AOL [dot] com)
It seems that even Elmyra's dreams are sorta weird.

The Rat from Perfecto by Acosta Pérez José Ramiro. (tinynicktune [at] hotmail [dot] com)
This is both a follow up and a prequel to his earlier "The New Students" fanfic. In this one, Rhubella tells her new friends/Acme Loo classmates just what happened that caused her to leave Perfecto Prep.

The X-Fowls by A. T. [T2]Barnett (TBARNETT [at] INTERACCESS [dot] COM)
LONG time list members may recognize the author of the early fanfic classic, Terror Toons Adventure, one of the first fanfics to feature Shirley in a staring role. Well, I am happy to say he is back. This time around, things may not be a scary as they were back then, but they sure are funny. Aliens! Dragons! Beautiful Space Babes! All this and more are to be found in this story.

The Fifi LaFume Show Theme Song by Abel DuSable (dusable [at] mts [dot] net)
Technically not a fanfic, per se, but it does answer the question of what would the themesong to Fifi's show have been like.

Okay, moving over to the realm of fanfic based artwork, we have a bunch of drawings by Acosta Pérez José Ramiro. (tinynicktune [at] hotmail [dot] com) for our viewing enjoyment.

Based up The JAM's Jacob Marley's Daughter...

That's it for fanfic based artwork, but there are a whole LOT of non fanfic based pics on the Doodle Page this month, so be sure to check them out as well.

And that's gonna be it for this, long delayed, but hopefully worth it, Mailer. I hope you enjoy it, and that you will take a moment to thank all the artists and authors for making this possible.

So, until next time...

Stay Tooned!

Kevin
