Those Chosen Introductory Chapter

Title: Those Chosen, part One: Enter the Unknown

Author: same as always

Rating: PG-13

setting: Varies: New York City, Summer 2004, Our World Universe; Buffyverse, 2004; Duniverse, whenever; Middle-Earth, during movie-time

Warnings: uh, violence, possible swearing, eventual possibility of sexuality

Notes: This is about the 7th rewrite this frelling concept has undergone. This idea is based on the movie versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. That was all that the original concept had contained within it. Through the past two years, it has undergone multiple revamps and the idea now also contains Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Children of Dune, and possibly Peter Pan (unclear at this time how firm that will be). The original characters and concepts that come along with them are taken from The Hurston Game: a kind of pretend/RPG that my friends and I started when we were in elementary school and never really stopped doing. The Hurston Game turns 11 years old October 17th (which is also the day that the Farscape Mini-Series premieres on Sci-Fi. Watch it!!!) SO consequently, with so much background information to work with, the original characters already have a great deal of depth to them. And that was how they were originally intended to be written.

However the current incarnation of this idea is based of our new concept. My friends and I are working on adapting The Hurston Game into a TV series format that spans seven seasons and movies and mini-series. This concept would be a Mini-Series event that takes place during the 6th and 7th/final seasons. So therefore in this current version, six years worth of plot lines and such have already occurred and will be referenced within the story. I will do my best to explain them all, but if I miss anything or you wish to have something explained deeper, just let me know, and I will do my best to accommodate.

Dedication: To Gen, my P.i.C., and to the most inspiring inspirations: DM & JM. Damn them both to hell.

Disclaimer: A Large overall Disclaimer will appear in its entirety at the end of each bit. Each chapter will begin with a mini blurb that applies to whatever is contained within that may need disclaiming. I only claim the characters that Gen, Astro, Neo and I made up on our own.
