Kirby's Chat Thing
Episode 2 – Spin-off's.
You may have noticed that once a certain series, be it T.V., books or even a toy range, gets popular enough, some people group together to make a sort of alternation to it. Something that wanders from the plot, and is made for comical purposes only. (As well as making a quick buck.) These bits of 'genius' are all put under the same category – spin-off's.
Yes, every series that's been around to see the birth of the Dreamcast probably has about 5 spin-off's made about it, and those children's tales who've been around to be made into terrible movies all have spin-off's too.
So I was wondering how long it would be before I was mocked endlessly. I probably have about 7 spin-off's, but I was waiting for something even more humiliating to a series of books/games/toys. The parody.
You may now be thinking, 'Oh for heaven's sake Kirby, parodies are only a little fun and a quick buck-scheme, I thought you'd already done a few yourself.' And I may have. Sure, when it's on a wiz-kid's or an angry tortoise collection's head, I'm alright with it. But when it's on me, it's personal. My friends (or indeed enemies. Or indeed, fan-boys/girls), I fear the vast majority of other semi-fictional characters will laugh forever after. And that, just that by itself, would be enough to de-motivate me from making games ever again.
Of course, on the other hand, it may be an absolute popularity boost! That is also an option. I mean, it worked for Harry Potter now, didn't it? It's a very significant option, and one that may happen. Although, it's a very doubtful option for me right now. I'm struggling to see a good side to my dilemma. I really am.
LegoMink wanders in and says to Kirby, "But it could happen, all the same, Kirby. Don't let go to that last hope you have of continuing your games and adding to your, probably, vast fanbase all over the world!"
When did I allow you to come in here?
Oh, sorry.
No 'sorry's, when did you get permission to be here?
...I didn't.
That's right.
I'll be quiet now.
Yeah, you better be. Anyway, that's probably the end of this episode. I don't think I could bear to talk about this subject any longer. Hope you enjoyed it! PM LegoMink your episode ideas, and please comment on how you thought this one was. Was it funny? Boring? Interesting? Dull? Please share so we can (hopefully) make these better!
Please do so!
Quiet, LegoMink! This is MY time now!
...sorry...
QUIET! So, bye for now!
Right, so these are probably up and running for a while now. At least until about 12 or so episodes, then that might be the end of the series. So, if you have any ideas, or want a character of your's (also named an OC) in to give their chat about a topic, PM me.
If it's an idea, just put something like, 'I think a good idea for Kirby's Chat Thing would be...'.
If it's a guest appearance, send me the chat from your character, and I'll publish it alongside Kirby's views on the topic.
Bye then!
