Some words from the Typewriter: Nineteen is such an odd number to end with. Twenty is just naturally, a better odd number...I mean even...yeah, even.
Omake part 1
It had been nearly half an hour since the doors were opened to the public, about ten minutes earlier than that for those who paid extra for their seats. In any case, the majority of people have now been finding their seats, according to what their ticket had assigned them to, and chatted amongst themselves from the building excitement. A man comes running from the floor for all the people sitting in the bleachers to see, a head set and clipboard in hand to display his employment with the studio.
"Alright people, the show's going to start in five minutes. Remember, all cell phones off; we don't care if you can put them on silent, or vibrating…we want them off. Second, only applaud or laugh or make any noise…when the prompter tells you to." The man pointed towards the ceiling, indicating a box that currently said quiet.
Understanding their role, the people sitting in the bleachers sat in wait, slightly more hushed than before, but still excited nevertheless. Soon, a cameraman starts a countdown at ten, and the lights begin to dim. At the count of one, the main lights turn on, revealing a very professional looking desk set up in front of a green screen. There is a young man sitting at the desk, dressed sharply in a suit and tie; he couldn't be older than eighteen.
As the music begins to play, the prompter turns to 'Applaud', granting the audience members permission to clap and cheer until it changed to 'Light Applause', and then to 'Quiet' in the span of five seconds.
"Welcome to the Fanfiction News Network, or the FNN. I'm your anchor, Teddy Mayer. And yes…my mother did name me that…she should know now, why she's in a Home...Anyways, here are today's top stories:
Fanfictions…false, or true?
Several new ways to turn 'flames', into a source of heat for those cold winter days,
And Spelling errors…is it 'your', or 'you're'? But first, we'll go to our field reporter…Robert Porter…Rob?"
As the studio cameraman signaled turning off his camera, the anchor breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took a sip of his coffee mug. "Geez…do all of our parents hate us or something?" Shaking his head in frustration, he took a glance at the live-feed monitor as he took a second sip.
Rob: Thanks, TM! Just recently, a story had reached its completion, closing its weaving and intricate tale, for those less than five people, who were just bored enough to read it…the story is within the Bleach fanbase, which I assume is about a young teenaged boy with oddly colored hair, who learns to destroy his enemies though the power…of rap battles…
I'm just kidding…It's about Hollows and junk…Heheh…
With the completion of this story, "My Life as a Shinigami", many readers feel betrayed, and slightly annoyed. No one else was harder hit, than those who played roles in this story. I've managed to get an insight from these actors themselves, but because of concurring projects from other fanfictions and shows, I was only able to get interviews from the losers…the extras…
Interview with Chin and Ping
Rob: I'd like to thank you both very much for making it here for an interview.
Chin: Oh, no problem.
Ping: Yeah, we have a little free time, heheh…just a wee bit…
Rob: Hmmmm…right…anyways, could you explain what roles you played for this story? Your characters I mean…
Ping: Well, yeah, it's not like we helped write this story, you know? Haha…
Chin: Yeah, we just play two roles, uh, who are actually named Chin and Ping, respectively, and…to be honest, that was just…a weird coincidental fluke for us.
Ping: Yeah, I mean…what are the chances?
Rob: Hahah, right…anyways, how were your characters influential to this story, as you played them?
Chin: Well uh, I actually don't want to spoil too much, but, let's just say that I play as a baddie, who has an ulterior motive when it comes to the…uh…entirety of the plot…
Ping: I uh…
Rob: Actually, Ping…I actually know that you were killed off in the prequel, Tide, so you can just ignore that question.
Ping: Well to be honest, I wasn't really "killed off" per se; I was just exploring other venues for my…acting while MLAATS was in production.
Chin: Which is code for "I was killed off", hahah…
Rob: Nice one. Anyways you guys have actually done, uh, fanfiction work before. What was that like?
Chin: Yeah, uh…it's a funny story, because Typewriterman—the director—is actually the same director who made a few Avatar the Last Airbender fanfics…
Ping: We're actually the Main Characters in that story.
Chin: We're sort of on hiatus right now, which is why we're doing more, supporting roles right now.
Rob: I see, so you guys have always been doing fanfictions then?
Ping: Well, we actually got our start as reviewers, and the way we reviewed, would be to kind of uh…make up skits
Chin: Heheh, we'd make up skits that would seem really non-sequitor, but it took a lot of writing to make good scripts for those.
Ping: I remember, we got our first big break, reviewing an anti-Mary Sue fic…we really just did like an improv thing, and it was just…hilarious…
Chin: Yeah…
Rob: Well, what I'd really like to hear is…what's going to happen in the next sequel? Maybe some tidbits? Maybe even a title for it?
Chin: Oh, uh…we really have no info to pass on…if we did, we would definitely give some info!
Ping: Yeah, but what we do know, is that a lot of the casting negotiations have been finished, but we're still going over some contracts for other characters that we're not at liberty to discuss…
Chin: Yeah…
Ping: But, some of us might be making a cameo in uh, RadiantBeam's stuff. Like, Ichigo and Rukia are definitely leading roles in one of….actually, they're really busy, right?
Chin: I was sure that Aiko is actually doing a sequel to her first premier fanfic, called, uh, "Over and Over again"… There's actually been this weird collab'ing thing going on between the two directors—RadiantBeam and Typewriterman. Another story you should look out for, staring Katara and Hitsyuga…
Ping: Yeah, it's actually an Avatar fic, but it has a lot of Bleach elements in it too. She's really a very versatile actress, Katara. I think that's Bronx Shogun's fic.
Chin: And uh, there's always MitsukaiMizuno, and aznjtgirl…Yoruichi.101, Viashino wizard, TFKeyes, daydreamer97, carmelcat12313, Zin-Zin…
Rob: I'm sorry, I'm going to have to stop you there Chin…
Ping: Sorry that we couldn't tell you too much about our own fic, hahah…
Rob: That's ok, although we only had a short amount of time, I'd really like to thank you guys for taking the time to come down here. Good luck with whatever you do, and we'll definitely be looking out for your sequel, and the other directors and writers that you've mentioned.
Ping: Thanks
Chin: Definitely
Back at the studio, the well dressed anchor was busily eating a sandwich, as a cameraman counted down to returning to live feed.
"Hey, Teddy, we're back on!"
"Hmm? What was that?"
