  • Mood:

In non Euro news, I have decided to write a football comic.

And I need your help. We're writing this baby together. It's a team effort. Like CLAMP.

It's still in conceptual stages, but think Dream Team meets Tia Mowry-The Game. The current concept is

this:

After the last manager was sacked last season due to lackluster performance (wasn't everybody this year, I mean, am I right?), Premier league mid table team _________ Football Club took a risk by hiring the dynamic young (like AVB circa Porto young. For the sole reasons that it's easier to draw, and these characters are recycled from old projects so I can't age them too too much) manager Valient ______ , brother of current player ______ _______ (I'm sure this breaks some sort of Premier League law but I don't even care. My World My Rules.) The comic follows the lives of this new manager, his brother, the other players and their WAGS and families as they try to advance in the PL table while managing their personal lives.

It's kind of like Dream Team in that everyone involved in the club is also involved with a player (I don't feel like coming up with all these extra characters), and it's like The Game in that the WAGS have their own other orginization/club. Maybe not as serious as the Sunbeams, but imagine halfway between Arsenal's ABC and the Sunbeams.

Here is what I need help with:

1. NAME THAT FOOTBALL CLUB!!  I want a name that sounds English but is implicit enough that people can assume it's fictional. Current running name is Greenwich Town, named after the New Englandest city in New England, 'cause I'm not actually English but I am from New England so those names are the best I got right now. We need to fill in some of these other blanks, too. The little brother's name in previous projects was Lian, but in this context, as I was typing it I realized how close it was to Liam McKay from actual Dream Team, so that has to be changed. I'll probably take care of character names but I'm open to suggestions too.

2. Kit Design/Kit Colors. If there's an aspect from some kit past or present that you've always liked, I'll take a look at it. Away colors don't matter cause it's black and white and the home kit will be the only one to make it to splash pages.

3. Anything else. Is there something that you really really want to see happen in this comic? (Please leave your fanfic fantasies/yaoi/other weird happenings at home, this is not that kind of comic). But any kind of crazy dramatic scenario will bring me entertainment in reading it, even if it doesn't make it to the comic.

So do any of you have any burning desires or suggestions for this comic?
