This is only slightly related to this, but I wanted to mention it. At some point when I was poking around this past month, I stumbled on your thread about wanting help on colleges and fraternities, but didn't reply because it was old and you've probably either long finished or long abandoned the story in question. Just wanted to say that I would have loved to have helped you and if you (or anybody) ever needs research help with anything I have first hand experience with, I'm happy to help and let you pick my brain. I saw my name get mentioned a few times and I kind of wish they'd reached out on your behalf. I probably would have helped back then too.

Four to five years? That's a pretty good run for a collaboration. I guess the nice thing about either of those are that they're only vaguely episode to episode plot so if the urge to jump back in ever struck, it wouldn't be too hard. I say that not knowing how many chapters 00Carter ended up with.
Didn't he add a bunch of weird CGI to the originals too? I always liked Return of the Jedi.

LOL It took a bit of convincing for Rose to rope me into 00Carter. Originally I was just like, "Ooh, I'll help make graphics and a Flash animation, but I don't want to write." But that was more about the genre than the fact that it was a collaboration. Rose was one of the people who joined the Code Blue rewrite project, so I kinda owed her. Plus, it hadn't totally fallen apart yet at that point.
Yeah, technically it ran for five years, but not consecutively because I wrote Broken during that period and then started BMS and was pretty much obsessed with those stories. I'm not sure what made me want to come back to Code Blue in the middle of BMS.
That is the nice thing about 00Carter - even if we never update it again, it at least has some closure because all the existing episodes are complete.
Yeah, there's a CGI Jabba in A New Hope now, and they replaced the original singer and song in Jabba's palace in RotJ with an annoying CGI alien singer and song. I'm sure there are more examples, but those are the ones that stand out to me.

Was there more convincing that I did not see, because I remember her pulling all her tricks out of her box! haha I loved your flash animations. I wish I could still see them. I don't know if it's a flash thing or a my computer thing, but they didn't work for me yesterday when I tried clicking.
What medical shenanigans were you on that point that Code Blue also included?
And if someone really wanted 00Carter to continue, they would just need to write a new episode. A fanfic for a fanfic, ha!
I hate pointless CGI. I don't think it made it better. I think I read/heard a joke about it once that "All the characters now have a digital twinkle added to their eye!" or something and I laughed so hard.
