Oh gosh I feel awkward even posting this, but anyway...
How do the members of the marathon board here feel about fan fiction? The reason I ask is that me and a group of ridiculously dedicated Godzilla fanatics have just finished up writing a massive fan fic novel that has been getting pieced together over the last two years called 'WHEN ALIENS ATTACK!'
The premise is this, what if one of the various alien races that plague the Godzilla universe finally succeeded in taking Godzilla out once and for all? Our story adresses this directly as well as the repurcutions as various alien races come out of the wood work to lay claim to the Earth once word spreads that the mighty king of the monsters has at last fallen. The Nebulans(the cochroach aliens from
Godzilla vs. Gigan)are responsible for Godzilla's defeat with the help of Ghidorah and Gigan, but other races including the Kilaaks(
Destroy All Monsters), the Simeons(the Planet of the Apes rejects from
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla), the Planet X Xians(
Monster Zero), the Mysterians(from the film of the same name), the Virans(from the Gamera film
Destroy All Planets)and last but not least, the Gudis(from the series
Ultraman Towards The Future)all want the Earth for themselves now.
With all these respective races come vast amounts of alien weaponry and more monsters than you can shake a stick at. In the meantime the undersea kingdoms of Mu(
Atragon)and Seatopia(
Godzilla vs Megalon) initiate a reunification with the surface world and the human race to help defend the Earth from the alien invaders, but all is not as it seems on both sides of the fence. Secret alliances are forged and treachery abounds all over. We combine characters and kaiju from the Showa era(1954-75), the Heisei era(1984-95) and the Millenium films as well. But our story as a whole is deeply steeped and rooted in the Showa era more than anything else. As a result of this sort of...combining, for lack of a better term, certain events in kaiju history have been either altered slightly, changed completely or totally removed depending, but some things have remained exactly the same.
For this story we have decided to explore and expand on these various aliens which in the films they originally appeared in had little or no character development to speak of. We take a deep look into their political, military and personal lives as we examine the machinations that drive these races to conquer and attempt to understand why they must.
The story also features kaiju from Daiei, Tsuburaya, and other studios along with Toho. Monsters who step up to the plate in Godzilla's absence be it good or evil include Mothra, Gudis, King Kong, King Ghidorah, Gamera, Megalon, Mechagodzila and Titanosaurus. But there are still a ton of other kaiju in this huge close to 400 page book. Like the aliens we try to give the monsters more personality as well as we verbalise their thoughts and implement into our story something that we have come to call kaiju speak, whereas the beasts can actually talk to one another, albeit to any human bystander what they say is unintelligable.
We successfully promoted this story at G-FEST, the world's one and only Godzillla/kaiju convention in Chicago, where we debuted the website which currently has a prologue and the first of what will eventually be 25 chapters that will be added over time. There are also other features that will give you a look into what WAA is about including concept art, hand made posters and interviews as well.
The bottom line is this, none of us ever claimed to be good writers, but that didn't stop us from trying to put together what wil hopefully be a fun and very entertaining story for fans of kaiju and science fiction alike.
