Right now, getting the word out is imperitive. Mentalguru, you're an Ace writer, as are others here. IF you have time, how 'bout a one-shot, something creative that will tell readers about the campaign and still be considered a story? Maybe...I dunno, a hypothetical conversation between Randall and Sulley in which they are BOTH ticked off about how their characters have been portrayed, one as Evil Incarnate(and STUPID at the same time)and the other as being equally incapable of remorse, both simply driven by hate for each other. The more people we can inform as to what is going on, the better. I've hesitated posting anything on that bastion of Randall-haters, IMDb.com, but I guess I'll have to, since I know that there are a lot of fans there, too, who aren't here.

Finally finished my job for good, so soon as I get home, I will be able to do almost anything you need, pitbulllady. That is, assuming summer homework doesn't get in the way. Anyway, I'll download your art when I get home (which will be in a few hours, thank goodness), and I'll start working on (or rather, revising) the video. Anything else I'll post in relation to that I'll put in my campaign video thread.

Also, a heads up: when I work on the video, I'm thinking of adding all of my own (as well as pitbulllady's) ideas posted on this thread. Unless, of course, I hear otherwise regarding my own? Within this post I'm putting special emphasis on the contact-within-a-few-days idea.

What this entails DinoGirl...is that this comic is NOT canon at all...just an abbrehension to it...the fact that this Randall has NO marks or scars at ALL...and the fact that his exhile is never mentioned...and that the C.D.A. have the gull to put up Wanted Posters (I suspect it's them considering they are now a crime agency).......that these stories entail that this Randall wasn't even banished...that this Randall somehow MADE IT on the run, and that what actually happened to him didn't happen.
Don't worry, I'll be making some scans, most likely the ones featuring him, soon. And I described them as well as possible, as my observancy for this was on key. -------------------- EVERY TIME it's viewed? That is certainly r....wrong 0_-
*taps fingers* I'm already in plans to increase the notice, or at least Ran's support. *looks up* In fact the recent comic spurred some of my creativness on the writing side... ---------------- *blinks* Hmm...that would be interesting Sgtyayap....*looks up* That would give the impression...truthful actually...we have info they don't...which would make them curious...hmm...you may not want to say "recent"...cause people may search for info....it may be fine to say that or "lastest"... ---------------- Probably so Pitbulllady...unless, doubtfully, they'll give him the change in the last book. *puts up hand* Yes I know, but work with info here too. *folds arms* At least they made Sullivan be stressed on his job, and a saving grace they did for this Randall...is that he seems to have no intent of ill-harm toward Boo. And think about it everyone...remember the pic of #3? A human walking in on Boo from the monster-side...not this Randall, not Waternoose...so may this mean that someone ELSE is concentrating on Boo? And surely this Randall and Waternoose (despite the complete discrace of them being together) wouldn't work with a human. *sighs* Naming the comics NOW without grabbing what info surrounding them will only give nay-sayers a word up on US. We'll have the attraction of more of them, even if it was our intent to promote fellow fans to the task. I KNOW you want this soon, but we need to play our cards right.
Don't worry Pitbulllady...about recognizing a loyal fanbase, you know I'm already working on that end.
Seems you noticed what I did Pitbulllady, important info that we can USE in the support. Yes immunity from pain seems to cheapen (though the reciever is probably thankful) the reality of it... ----------------- There are many differences here...this Randall DOES at least have some planning sense...but when this one got caught.....something just seemed.....off...."even if you don't go to jail"...that line just....huh... ------------------- *shakes head* Sullivan is in character at first...the work of CEO is taking a toll on him...he is unable to spend time with friends, and Boo...AND he realizes (at least briefly) that Wazowski USES him to inflate his ego.....but....as for remorse for Randall...no. The ONE THING missing that would make Sullivan completely in-character...is gone. Heck...first moment they re-meet, Sullivan attacks straight out, no hesitation.
I pretty much know HOW it should end....
Even people with comps across the sea can see something if it's noticeable... -------- Others? Who? 0_- I know there are, just want to know heh ^_^ ----------------- Pitbulllady, you might want to get some of your New Orleans works...maybe working them into a film will gain some sympathy. It won't neccesarily garner info on the champaign, but it will garner sympathy and get some fans out of the wood work (though CAN add a referrance, if it's in a video, at the end linking to the champaign video).
Well this thread was for the comic...but in general, sure, post info for the vid here as well, I got some analyzations to work with in different posts.... *looks up* The second comic is in release sometime in September, the third in October...I'll be sure to get copies when I can.

Thanks for the input, RandallBoggs. Still, What do you all think of the few-days-of-contact idea? Not to sound impatient, but, to me, it's very crucial for me to know (especially for the video) whether we are going to incorporate this idea, which I hope so.

I wrote about it on a previous reply (I admit that that might be a bad name for it ), but I'll write it again anyway: "One final thought regarding the campaign, or, as pitbulllady called it on her LiveJournal page, the Randall Revolution: As a member of the United States Association of Reptile Keepers (USARK), I would strongly recommend everyone (including those who already contacted Pixar) to contact Pixar within a certain amount of time, preferably a few consecutive days, as this is USARK's method to get heard by politicians. Which days in particular we can spend a little while deciding."

Ahh...for that we may need to wait till we get support out there...the more people we have doing this within the span would increase our chances.

I admit that we're going to need to get organized. Therefore, I was thinking of saying that in my video, then saying at the end, "For more information, such as when to contact Pixar, visit boggsboard.proboards.com." Is this all right?

Hmm...that might inadvertibly attract haters....hmm.....I know...direct it Pixar Planet....you see Youtube does have many viewers, and many can be negative...Pixar Planet has many mods so they can deal with them... And one of us will make a post which we can direct to on the video that has info regarding the champaign....*rubs temple* I know we want to get rolling people...but a little patience, I'm juggling allot here and weighing the options of what directions and backups to take...

That IS a better idea, linking to Pixar Planet. After all, we don't want this board to be corrupted by haters, do we?

*nods* Exactly. All those who actually DO care for support will be posting in general. *shrugs* Besides even if they're just fans of the film, they'll sign up if they haven't heard of it and post.

This campaign sounds like an awesome idea to me! I support it wholeheartedly! Of course, I'll be passing the info on to some of my friends. They'd help out, I'm sure! ^_^

A campaign hmm? Sounds interesting! I pass it along =D
For the Comic itself:
Suckpunching? When exactly did Randall sucker-punch anyone? ((laughs)) That's like "murder, arson and jaywalking".
At least comic!Randall seems to have some brains. Making out that the boss is going crazy from stress is actually pretty clever for a "kiddie" villain.
and... some... rather surprising muscles it seems. Whatever. They are comic-book writers, they're used to drawing in super-strength, eh? Good move on Sulley during the fight, grabbing by the nape and tail- grabbing the nape is a muscle relaxant for most young mammals, and the tail thing is a snake wrestling move isn't it? Water (and fog and dirt) would reveal an invisible character (invisible doesn't equal intangible).
Curious. That doesn't seem... right. Like... like his cover's been blown, but it's not the important thing. And the CDA doesn't scare him? Curiouser and curiousier...
((thoughtful)) All together, not a bad first comic... not a gushing tribute to the film, but a workable extension... fairly decent setup... Interesting about the CDA... the time-line seems a bit distrubed...

Just published it too! www.fanfiction.net/s/5362464/1/ExplainIt's not exactly the same. I tried your idea, but my inspiration dried up, so instead of delving into the actor's universe, I delved into the actual movie one. It's mainly Sulley talking, in a letter, to Randall, trying to make sense of what happened and explaining himself and his own actions and guilt. It also touches on the fact Sulley now realises Randall didn't KNOW humans were sentient. I placed the address and campaign letter thing at the bottom of it. Hope you like it!
