Fanfiction Going to do a new Transformers 2099 fan-series, called "Transformers 2099: Revised", looking for co-workers on it

I know at least some of you were there from around then, on the old ATT, but, still, back then in the 90's, I did a successful online fanfic, and my first fanfic, called "Transformers 2099". I recall people reading it and telling me things such as, "Transformers sucks, 2099 sucks, but this doesn't suck," and "Would you ever consider going pro?"

This fanfic started as a series proposal for the fanfiction group called the "2099 UG" (UG meaning UnderGround), which was dedicated towards fans continuing the official/original Marvel 2099 graphic novels stories from 1992-1996, and also ignoring the not-so-great stories that came after Marvel's bankruptcy in 1996, where the 2099 imprint EIC Joey Cavalieri had been fired, then other stuff happened, later leading to 2099 to be finally "put down mercifully" with a one-shot in 1998 by Marvel's Ghost Rider 2099 writer Mark Buckingham, that gave it a mercy-killing, but also a grand end. As for the 2099 UG again, my proposal was turned down (can't blame them, when you think about it), so I just wrote it independently, even though it was still written to work within the established canon the UG had at the time. But like I said, people liked it. I wrote the first six issues by myself, and then a friend of mine from the UG, also a writer on their staff, came in and co-wrote the rest of the issues with me, with me doing the Autobot stories, and him the Decepticon ones, back and forth. It got to #24, and I think we were running out of ideas, so we just ended it. It had also become a weekly-released comic, which worked fine for me at the time, but not for my co-writer friend, who wanted once every 3 weeks. And his stories were usually just Ok or kinda good, with his 2099 Decepticons being unthinking bootlickers. He later disappeared, and never heard from him again.

As for the The Transformers Marvel comic, done in both US and U.K. as we all know, or most of us, it was at first meant to be in Earth-616, with Nick Fury, Spider-Man, and others making appearances or mentions, with (symbiote costume) Spidey teaming up with Gears (who was one of the first G1 toys I ever had as a kid, maybe why I got him from my parents) to rescue Sparkplug from the Decepticons (U.S. issue #3). Also, later, Ratchet when to the Savage Land to find and bring back the lost Dinobots (U.S. issue #8), said in the opening panel to "preceding Avengers #257" (I think it said that). Some time after the Savage Land thing, there were other references (Roxxon Oil and was G.B. Blackrock maybe Tony Stark originally?), then Marvel decided to change their stance, told us to "forget issue #3" a long time later in a Transmission letters' page", and then moved it into the G.I. Joe ARAH continuity (as The Transformers and G.I. Joe cartoons were in-continuity with each other, I'm guessing), which Larry Hama hated, saying the first crossover was the G.I. Joe of their continuity, not his (at least that's what I was told, may be wrong). Then finally Generation 2 stuff started happening, and Hama had to, or someone else instead wrote the stories in G.I. Joe about the G2 TFs and all that, and the book had to just "go on from there." The G2 book continued on from that, and had the world falling apart by the Swarm and G2 Decepticons, while in the G.I. Joe books, no more TFs, no world destruction or anything from the G2 book.

My proposal for this project is to do some kind of remake/recreation of the TF 2099 series concept, as "Transformers 2099: Revised", and hopefully making it into a fan-comic, or at least a fanfic with covers, and make it good from the start to till all the way we take it through to the eventual end in the Staff Group, with help from each other there, with members who can guest write, and/or guest draw, etc. It would be decided by the group.

2099 UnderGround Community:

This is a place for anyone to come and talk about the 90's classic Marvel 2099 cyberpunk graphic novels from Marvel Comics, with the original line released from 1992-1996, then with Marvel's bankruptcy and what came from that, then the finale one-shot, and then other kinds of 2099 graphic novels after that, and anything related to 2099 in general (toys, apparel, models, statues, art, mugen, official video games, anything), or similarly cyberpunk material. We accept anyone...die hard fans, casual fans, those who are curious and want to learn from those who know; anyone. All are welcome.

Also let it be known if you'd like to see the 2099 UG/UGR (UnderGround, then later the UnderGround Revised) fanfiction group return, which was where fans wrote fanfiction continuations from some point of the original stories, back in the day, after the bankruptcy happened, with it's stories). There have been new and official stories from continuing the original era since 2013, with the bankruptcy-caused stories moved to another reality at that same time also, together; but don't let that stop you if you want to be creative and do some 2099-related writing/art/whatever and share it with the group.
