Well there's 616 Ben's intense grief at the death of Johnny Storm and then him being turned evil by a primordial Asgardian and the fall out of said possession. It's been more than a year in coming and I do plan on manning up to it but I just don't want to torture Ben that much. However the previews for Fantastic Four 601 hint at a flaming light at the end of the tunnel.

This question was brought to you by something I realised while rereading villains By Necessity: Most of the Six Lands have democracies in place.
...But most of those democracies were pretty heavily engineered by Mizzamir. So while they've had elections, they've been polite, intelligent platform-driven debates, none of the mudslinging and bullshit American elections usually turn into.
But now Mizzamir's dead, so that should be changing soon. Not sure how much I'll poke it, but I do want to at least mention it.

The rest of the world. The canonical Fallout games take place in a handful of places- the California/Oregon/Nevada area, the DC area, the Chicago area if you count Fallout Tactics*. One of the major reasons I was interested in the DLC for Fallout 3 was the opportunity to get an idea about any of the other areas of the Fallout world and what was going on out there, what'd happened to places that weren't major target zones, etc. I'm hoping to play with some of that as Ellen moves along, both the canonical DLC I'm going to have to rewrite to get rid of some idiot balls and offensive material** and other stuff I plan on doing with at least part of the East Coast. And maybe Canada. The very first scene that the player sees when firing up Fallout 1 for the first time is newsreel footage of 'our brave boys keeping the peace in newly annexed Canada'. Which is to say two dudes in power armor executing a bound, kneeling Canadian prisoner of war, and then waving to the camera. There has to be something I can do with that.

And there's the historical stuff, too; I really want to explore what the prewar world was like, and the days just after the war. We've got a handful of canonical historical documents from that time, and we know how history eventually turned out. But that's it, and I'd love to see what can be done with that time frame... probably not through Ellen or Fawkes or Arcade, though. Either through fic, or through bringing someone from that time period into m_m.

*This game is considered semi-canon for various reasons. Fallout Brotherhood of Steel, on the other hand, was a horribly done game that bore almost no resemblance to anything else Fallout and is not considered canon at all. We do not talk about Fallout Brotherhood of Steel, kthx.

**It's one thing to play with popular tropey elements by inserting one or two reasonably well-developed enemy characters, and quite another to go 'We've got a game section set in a rural isolated swamp! Let's make 3/4 of the humanoid enemies you meet in random encounters physically deformed, mentally retarded, inbred violent cannibal rednecks!'

I will eventually take Kirk through the last TOS film, including his days in a Klingon prison camp. Ro, if you are see this, I have some ideas for that that would have to involve McCoy.

I am finally reworking the overall outline of Batman For(no reason whatso)ever into something vaguely useable for a backdrop for Knox.

And sooner or later, I will do something with Gibbs and a bag of ships in bottles.

I am so up for canon-threading. If you ever feel like a tour through any of the TV eps as I (slowly omg) get through them, I'm also up for that, too.

If I hadn't eff'd up the lead in, I'd have love to have run City At War for the Turtles. It's this great 13 part mini-series where Shredder's Elite guard kick the crap out of the remaining Foot Clan and the Turtles are called in to help bring them down by the new leader, a woman named Karai.

But...I started them out living in the NYC sewer system, which is...trust me, it's out of whack with continuity. (Something that I, and maybe like four other people on the internet would care about.)

There's a Milli-Plan I've always wanted to run, but haven't gotten around to scraping together.

Years ago The Oompa's Republic of New Loompaland, which happens to reside deep under Milliways, closed itself off from the surface world. For those that remember the thread where Indiana Jones had been accidentally explorer-napped, and a rescue team of Michaelangelo (then a turtle) and Turtle Wexler (always a little human girl) went in to save him.

Anyway, I wanted to run a plot where the Loompas evolved into this Totalitarian Communist State, and while expanding their empire they dug just a little too deep and unearthed.....a Trogdor.

Basically I'd run a dungeon Crawl through The Oompa's Republic of New Loompaland to defeat the Trogdor, and return the refugee Loompas back to their new homeland.

It never kind of happened, which isn't to say it couldn't, just not yet.

There's a whole three seasons of Avatar that I'd love to play through with Aang, but I don't think I'd do it anywhere near the justice that the previous players of Aang have done. So instead I'm looking forward to new canon.

(which is to say: trogdor-endorsed!)

Torchwood: Children of Earth.

I can't even canon review, it hurts so much.

Playing Sameth is my way of poking canon since he doesn't get a lot of time. I want to look at what being a Wallmaker means and fixing the rather dysfunctional royal family.

William and Yuma, I just want to play more in the West and look at ideas of education and where people fit. It's one reason I love playing Will as well, to see how the different times work.

I love Jane's canon but I'm not looking forward to going through it and have plans to fix it. Fixing it though means poking at what I can do within the societal constraints.

I don't have answers for the others just yet. I know they're there but not coming to mind.

At the end of the credits on Slither a cat has an unfortunate encounter with Needlehead, the cause of the slug/zombie madness in Wheelsy.

There was a time when I thought about doing something with that, perhaps even a barwide slug invasion type deal, but well... barwide plots are scary. I wasn't sure if I could run something that big back then, Bill being one of my first characters in Milliways, and at this point it's probably too late to go back and pick it up.

Plus, it would be all sorts of mean to poor Bill.

Clem: haha - the time she married a dead man. She might enlist some Mili-friends in a desperate scheme to keep the

Dixie: Occurring number two of nun!Dixie.

Juliet: I desperately want/need to play out In for a Penny..
