This is a thread for discussions on the Origins of The Bullworth Never Ending Story. :a-cheer:
-
Yeah mate, I've been reading it a lot lately... Although I'm not completely up to date on the story, I'm at Page 29 At the moment, (Always get a computer reminder so I don't forget the page I'm up to)
Need to catch up!
-
Oh, page 29 ? Starting Chapter 4 ?
How'd you like the Bloodbath ?
-
Just got to Chapter 4, that was pretty fuckin' awesome 8)
-
AH, I read it all last summer.
-
You still reading it nowadays, Moski?
-
Yes, I read it all until the last post, and when Chuck posts in it, I read.
-
Nice, I'm trying to catch up, I'm on page 30. :/
-
My name isn't Scum and I have never read the NES.
I plan on starting to read it when I have more time. I haven't started it yet because I feel like, because it's a NES, I wouldn't ever be able to catch up on it. But I'll have plenty of free time during the spring break(starting on the 29th) and I'm actually looking forward to reading it right now.
-
There WILL be an end to it, of sorts.....I've put over 3 years into it already, and I'd like to actually finish. I only planned on 5 chapters, but Chapter 5 got so long I was forced to split it into 2 chapters, 5 & 6. I wrote an Epilogue after 6, and that should have been that, But I guess I couldn't help myself from adding another chapter. And, it's been the toughest, since the main villain was beaten towards the end of Chapter 6. Sooo....Just like Endless Summer, when I play these days, I have to get a little creative, and think, "What If....?"
-
^ Hey, it is the Never Ending Story though, right? I guess that explains it :P
-
Yeah, well, that title was not my choice, really.
But someone else can do NES II.
-
I think there should only be one NES to be honest, no need for a NES II, IMO.
-
It's probably awesome, but realistically, I'll never read it.
But kudos to all who put in so much time to write it.
-
Psh :neen:
You mean Chuck :ajajaxh5:
-
Chuck did a lot, but there were others who helped too.
-
True dat.

<Discussion revival team.>
We've noticed that the current discussion of the NES has been basically terminated with the final post agreeing to the previous one without adding anything else. So we've sent an agent of ours to stop the conversation from dying.
I've never thought about this but. How was the idea of the NES born anyway?
-
It was Mercury's idea to began the story. Tony, Laurent, and Jake were his characters. The first post sat for 3 weeks without a reply, then 'Miss Ordered' (who wasn't around long, shame cuz they was a good writer) replied, then some others did too. I joined in on the third page. Near the end of Chapter 1, I began to see the potential of the story, and Mercury and I exchanged many Emails regarding the direction of the story.
-
It was the birth of the B-B story publishing company.
-
I've read some of the first part. And that's pretty cool.
Thanks for the info, Chuck.
You too, Dave. I guess. P:
-
Parts of Chapter 1 are a disorganized mess. I've re-edited and added about 9,000 words for better story transition in the edited version, which is not posted here (or anywhere).

Slight bump, but this made me laugh.
Anyways, to continue the convo... Chuck, HOW U SO CREATIVE?... Are you ever 'Inspired' by other pieces of work, or is it all just from the big brain you have up there?... And, it's a damn shame that Merc himself is too busy being a 'Workout Freak' to bother going on BB, it'd be interesting for him to look at the story that he was largely responsible for creating... Where is that little french dude nowadays anyhow?
-
I think he left finally because of hormones and a girl....Just a guess. I haven't heard from him in a long time. I wish him well, however, in whatever he's doing now. He should be in a University by now, I'd guess.
Initially, I wasn't going to join in on the story....I saw it as most any other FanFic, that it would peter out in time. But, I put a post in I thought would be funny (about Tony stuffing Kurt into a trash can), and it just kinda went from there.
In Bully though, I had a unique opportunity, as I love the game, and had previously spent a great deal of time scouting out "Where Jimmy Can't Be Busted" as a personal project in the original PS 2 game, making a comprehensive list of such. So, I already had a working knowledge of all the areas of the game, plus most of the characters were already laid out and defined to a certain extent.
My favorite author has always been King, who is a master of multiple character storylines and plots (aka "The Stand", "Under The Dome" and such). I was really fascinated by the prospect of not only the school, but the towns themselves. How does such corruption exist and thrive in a setting such as this ? Isolated as it was, there had to be a deeper story there, some way to explain it. And, some way to bring it all crashing down.

Man, I'm gonna cry.

MERCURY !!!!
Where the Hell you been, Fella ?
[Edit....Welp, he's gone again. I hope he's doing well.]
-
A random Google search remembered me of Bully Board. I'm really happy to see it's still active - and that this game can still motivate so much people.
I've been studying psychology this year. This is something that I really enjoy.
I've been through some of my first NES posts for the sake of nostalgia... And I have to say, whoa, my English skills were terrible !
-
Yes, they were, but I've fixed them in the edited edition, which I'm planning to post over again as Edits.
Drop by more often, read the rest of the story ! See how far Tony and the gang have come.
-
Man, I'm gonna cry.
Ahh, welcome back. (And goodbye as you won't be coming back within 3-6 years anyways)
-
I see you've been busy writing, Chuck !
-
Yeah, well I'm on the final chapter. See what you got me into ?
-
Yeah, i really admire that, Chuck !
-
MERCURY!!!!!!!!!!!
I really wanted to hear from you. You may not know me, I'm new to the board, but I know about you. You're a great person and a genius to come up with the idea of the NES, and Chuck is a genius for completing it. Welcome back! My name is Mohamed, they call me Mo.
-
Actually, I believe Mercury AND Chuck came up with the idea for the NES. So the accolade, 'Genius', can go to both of them. :euro:
-
Oh, I didn't mean to ccompliment Mercury and not compliment Chuck, Chuck is a genius, of course!
-
Of Course. :laugh: :laugh:
-
Hey Mohamed - nice to meet you !
-
Nice to meet you too, Mercury.
I hope you stay in this board and never leave again.
-
Bout time you got back Mo. Got some catching up to do.
-
I have gotten catched up, so far.
-
How about now ? We are entering the final stretch, the last battle is soon to come.
-
Vicious bitches, hahaha.
-
Didn't know she had it in her....Very Artistic, I thought.
-
I just noticed that this is Story Origins, not Comments. Oh well.
-
It's all good....I get the story confused with the real Bullworth quite often. :laugh:
-
Four months down the road.....
Well, I will say this again, and with certainty...This will be the final chapter.
Expect about another 50K words or so, and it will all be over for Tony & the gang.
I will run out of Summer by the close of Chapter 9.
All the Villains have been defeated.
Now to build a safer Bullworth.
-
You know what it would be great Chuck ? Is to have a massive dramatic finale that it will literally hold our breath
-
I'll probably go out with a whimper.....All the big Villains have been defeated.
Lots of small Villains left to clear up though.
Enough for 40k more words ? Maybe.
Only 1 month to go in the Bullworth Summer.
Then, it's done done.
