To those of you who have enjoyed this little fiction of mine I would like to say thank you, and that unfortunately I will not be able to finish it as I am no longer comfortable writing and/or glorifying the subjects of ghost, demons, and positions. So as to walk away without leaving the followers of this story hanging I've decided to just answer a few questions I believe you might have. (As a side note even though I no longer wish to write this tale if someone would like to finish it they have my blessing and an offer to beta read just to give feed back.)
Who was responsible for the ghosts in Jump City?
Slade, who else would it be? He's the biggest villain the titans have and he has knowledge of trigon's army, curses, portholes, ECT... he also is almost impossible to beat when under the power of dark magic
How was this all going to end?
The Titans and Ghostbusters reach the Jump City Tower a huge building similar to the new one world trade building. Slade would be reviled as the mastermind of unleashing ghost to destroy the titans and that Beast Boy and Starfire have been possessed by ghost thus bringing Star's fears to pass. Robin, Raven, & Cyborg battle Slade and their fellow Titans while the Ghostbusters fight off the remaining creatures in trigon's army before sending Slade and whatever ghost remain back to the underworld. Titans & Busters part on good terms, Robin and Star share a kiss, Raven and Egon shake hands. The end.
Why doesn't (insert character) have a bigger role in this story?
Mostly because it's hard to give nine characters equal importance in a story that was only going to be 5 or 6 chapters. I tried to give whatever I could to whoever I could but in some cases you can only do so much and remain true to the characters I.E. Venkman is the de facto leader of the Ghostbusters but has little to do solving why ghost show up and more just makes a decision on what plan to use, hence more of the focus goes to Ray and Egon
Why doesn't (insert villain) appear?
Good question, I wanted to show how much a Villain who has been taken over by a ghost is tougher to beat. For this I used villains who did not have magical properties (For the most part) it's a short list of Titan enemies who fit this bill and are able to be interesting in a fight (I.E. Mad Mod doesn't really have much to go on other hypnotism)
WH
Why are there so many sentences that look unfinished?
That has to do with the fact that my laptop likes to move where/delete what I'm writing when I'm using MS word.
What's Egon's deal with Raven?
Really this is just dramatic tension something to drive a wedge between the teams but if you want more it's this. Egon makes a living dealing with ghost, all of which would try to kill him and his friends, Raven in this case is more a victim of a sort of racial profiling (a commentary I didn't even realize I had made) and so the teams on kind of on uneasy ground with each other .
Why does Peter give Cyborg Ghostbuster blueprints?
I went in to this story knowing at some point the Titans would need equipment to fight off ghost, I was running late in the story when I figured it could be another point of tension, from a story stand point Venkman feels sorry for Starfire and Robin and decides to hands over some blueprints for Cy to figure out, Peter being Peter he of course doesn't say anything during the argument in chapter 4
What's the deal with Starfire?
From a story stand point she's simply overcome with fear. Star is a hard character to beat physically; she can however be overcome emotionally and mentally so I chose to do both. Having a deep seeded childhood fear along with the natural worry over Robin now that their officially dating is enough to throw her off her game. As stated before this would all pay off with Star being taken over by a ghost and battling with Robin during the last chapter
Where did you come up with the word Kurfkah?
This is just my little tribute to the late Andy Kaufman who of course played Latka on the show Taxi
Why was this story going to be so short?
5 or 6 chapters was all I really had in mind for this one, it wasn't meant to be an epic story that spans 20 chapters (Not that I don't enjoy reading those) in the process of writing I could have had one more chapter but It wouldn't have added anything to the overall story and would have been another fight scene. In the interest of good story telling I decided to cut it and go for the ending.
What version of the Ghostbusters &Titans are you using/ what universe does it take place in?
My own little odd universe where the live action GBs crossover to the Teen Titans animated show (the one from the mid 2000's) somehow this happens not to long after GB2 and Tokyo . This is also why Peter doesn't hit on any chicks (there not even 18 yet!)
If anyone has any other questions comment them and I'll comment back. Till then thanks for reading and god bless.
