edited 13th Mar '13 9:09:14 AM by fillerdude

Norse mythology suddenly got a lot more interesting when a woman came crashing from the sky in the city of Svalbard. This woman, clad in old Norse armor and speaking in a very archaic Norse dialect quickly disappeared following this event.

But with a team of government agents on the look for her and several local farmers trying to aid her quest, will she ever return? Or will she become living proof that the Valkyries were real after all?

Gravehammer Rising

An episode in a show about a heavy metal band which fights supernatural monsters and forces with The Power of Rock. Said episode, featuring the undead necromancer Gravehammer and his legions of undead mooks, was equally praised and criticized for being MUCH darker in tone than the usual goofy, lighthearted fare and for permanently killing the bassist, one of the most beloved characters on the show, inciting a massive fan backlash. In an attempt to address the backlash, the creators of the show brought back the bassist as the band's wacky ghost companion, rock-impaired due to his inability to hold his bass guitar.

Farenheit 451

edited 14th Mar '13 1:19:11 AM by TheManaThief

For thousands and thousands of years, ever since scripture was invented, unbeknownst to humans, Earth has been the scene of a desperate and bitter struggle between two races. There are the Phenices, who take their tremendous power from devouering the potential for inspired thought that is lost to humanity when a book is burned. And there are the Muses, who derive their power from the energy that the collective web of creative thought generates.

For thousands of years, the Phenices and the Muses have warred with one another, one kind inspiring humanity, and the other destroying the fruit of inspiration. Sometimes there was a period when the Muses gained the upper hand over the Phenices, sometimes it was the Phenices who gained the upper hand over the Muses, but on the whole, it balanced out.

But now, the Phenices are putting in motion a plan of such magnitude as never before and the Muses are scrambling to prevent it. Our young protagonist becomes embroiled in their conflict as both sides try to obtain him/her for themselves, because he/she has a rare gift that will decide the outcome of this battle. Suddenly on the run and with no-one to turn to, the protagonist findes him/herself at the centre of a war, with nothing less than the future of the human mind at stake.

Monty Python's Flying Circus

edited 17th Mar '13 3:09:28 PM by LastHussar

An anime about a man-sized talking snake who runs an airborne circus. Unfortunately, his habit of eating the occasional customer (but only one or two!) has attracted the attention of people in the village below. While none of them are ever taken — only ever foreigners — they are afraid that the reputation that his predations bring may drive work from their village.

So a small group of locals gather what weapons and courage they have, buy their tickets, and ascend to the Flying Circus. There they must navigate past gorilla bouncers, man-faced dogs and stranger attractions yet, all the while chasing the elusive Monty towards an inevitable confrontation that will change everything that they thought that they knew about their town- and indeed, their world.
