Okay. I'm giving this story one last chance.

It's gotten me attention by the thousands when I didn't expect to get more than six reviews. Looking back and reading it, I kind of cringe at how ineffective my writing used to be, but apparently it was effective enough for you guys, so here's the deal.

There's a new movie by DreamWorks out called Rise of the Guardians.

I don't really care that much for cursing, but it is the best fucking movie I have ever seen. The animation is so life-like, and absolutely breathtaking in 3D. The storyline comes at you from out of nowhere, and makes your heart truly ache with empathy for the colorful assortment of characters. And Jack Frost. Do not get me started. He's a stunning lead with so many sides to him, the most dimensional character to ever come out of a DreamWorks' film, I'd say, and his troubles and faults and worries are so foreign, but in this ninety-seven minute time frame they're made so real and familiar. There are so many things he has to offer as a lead, there's something relatable for everyone.

It's just a really great movie, and to get in depth on why, I would probably end up spoiling it, so I'm going to stop now.

Unfortunately, because of a terrible advertisement job and premiere date on DreamWorks' part, this movie isn't doing so well in the box office. And that's all DreamWorks really cares about. This information tells them that we don't want to see plot-and-character-driven, heart-wrenching movies, rather Madagascar add-ons and fart jokes. Because of this, there also won't be a sequel. And I know what you're thinking, Vantilene, sequels are never better than the original! Yes, that is true, but I trust the director (who I actually happen to know through some friends) and the animators who helped develop this film never to betray it for the sake of cranking out another cheap money-maker. I know everyone who worked on it adored every character and plot twist immensely, and that for some animators, it was the first time they had ever really gotten into what they were helping create. And for me, on top of it being such a fantastic movie, is what really makes it worthwhile to support something like this. Think of the animators chained to desks having to draw millions of Marty's and Alex's day in and day out, without ever really caring.

Also think about this. If at least five of you go to see the movie, I will start this story back up again. If you five get friends and family to go along with you, that will secure its continuation until it gets a proper funeral with the heart-warming ending that sparked this monstrosity in the first place. And for every person, I will give a oneshot of whatever they want, regardless of this project's success. Last time, we didn't reach our goal, so I didn't write any. But if you at least participate, you are automatically guaranteed something of 1,000 words or more. And even if five people and their families make sure this story goes out like I've always wanted it to, if you contribute, you still get a oneshot. And an irrevocable friendship with me. Not that that's worth much, but whatever.

Now, how will I know if you actually go see the movie? Submit a picture of your (or family/friend's) ticket stub to the url myvantilene on tumblr, and leave a description of what you want in a oneshot, and what fandom. You get extra pages if you go see it in 3D.

If you don't have a tumblr account, you can email it to me at wayne dot bruce at asia dot com.

Please, guys. I'm kind of metaphorically on my knees here. This happened to Treasure Planet and I cannot bear for it to happen to another movie I love. It means so much to me, you have no idea.
