New Collaborative Fiction Effort: Channel Surfing (open to all)

by Chaz Hamilton

As superhero comic fans, I am sure that most players of Heroes Rising have seen, heard of, or watched content from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) There current effort, WandaVision, has done its storytelling with a fun twist. The characters have been living their lives inside of different television programs. 

This isn't a unique spin. Heroes have been tossed into different themed dimensions for years. Flash and Supergirl were pulled into a musical by Music Meister in "Duet". Sam and Dean were pulled into multiple TV programs (most notably the Scooby-natural episode). Buffy, Benjamin Sisko, and the Charmed Ones were both forced into believing their entire lives were a lie.

Let's have fun with that premise.

Write a snippet of a day in your characters or leagues daily life as if they were living it in a popular television drama of the past or present. Give us the title of the show and then delve into their new world.

Some initial ideas could be:

Your league as characters in a medical or police drama: St. Knowhere; New Amsterdam, New Amsterdam; Law and Order: Super-Powered Unit...

Classic Comedy: I Love X; Two Heroes, A Villain, and a Coffee Shop; Antarctic B&G(Cheers); Leave it to Midgardsormr...

A game show: Nova's Shuffle, The Price is Morphons, Fearless Factor...

A reality show. A science fiction space drama. A self-help program. The stage is yours.

No need to be perfect, just have fun with creating and describing your characters in a new, and hopefully, entertaining way.

(Please use good taste. Be funny but not unkind.)

Here is the link if you would like to participate. Tri-Blade, Highlander, and Silver Paladin have already added some humorous sketches into the effort.
