I'm pretty sure Proton User said he was a “Winston”. :s
While I'm mentioning Proton User, I just went by the GBWC site and it's off to a great start. Thanks for the link, Robert–and it's no problem. I plan to have a link to the GBWC site, along with the banner/signature line some of us are using, later tonight or tommorow morning (like I said, the Lycos server's been…mischievous with me the last couple days)
Once we get our origin established and become an Official GB Inc. Division, I will submit the Prolog to Dr. Belmont for posting on GBN, if that's all right with everybody.
I'm Dr. Fritz V. Baugh, and yeah, I'm one of the Egons, though not as smart (who is, after all?) but less spaced out in some ways, I would say (believe me, if a classy redheaded secretary hits on
me, I'd do something about it!) I haven't determined yet what my Doctorate is yet–as we have other PhDs in the team, I'd like to find out before I choose to maximize our potential. I lean toward Chemistry (my Major during my abbrieviated Real World college carreer), some kind of History/Folklore or Anthropology specialty (Ancient Religions or Tribal Cults or something potentially useful like that), or even something wackier like Temporal Physics, as a time travel story is part of our Grand Design (for the Southern Team if I remember right, while I'm on the North Team but that still might be useful). Maybe I can be a little less Egon a little more Doc Brown :d
Ray Parker Jr.: Welcome back, and it's great to be working with you. Your idea about being a latecomer has some potential, especially if we play it up for some “these guys were bonded together by something big and supernatural and I wasn't so sometimes I don't really feel like one of them” subplots, though that's up to you. And what is your name? Actually saying your character's name just happens to be Ray Parker Jr. is fine with me, just expect that the fact that your name is Ray Parker Jr. and you're a Ghostbuster to probably be used for some comedy :s
:d
Peter Kong: Hey, I won't be the only Hoosier on the team! But as for your family, that's quite a can of worms you're potentially opening there…there are lots of FGB haters in this board (I've been one of them–there are two FGB crossovers, one with RGB, once with XGB, sitting on my hard drive that are rather nasty to the Filmation guys). But I respect your speaking up for the only Ghostbusters probably less popular than the Extreme or Junior ones! I read your crossover story a while back, and it was actually quite good.
Otter: Welcome to the club! Here's your two smoking traps, your copy of
Ghostbusting for Dummies, your Peter Venkman Peanut Butter, your…
Oops, wrong spiel
If Otter prefers the idea of being more of an ally and contact that an actual WC Ghostbuster, that's fine with me, but I'll go along with the group. A good supporting cast is always welcome, but so are good teammembers. We may end up just having to create fictional secretaries (and no, they don't necessarily have to hit on me :s . That'd probably be stretching reality too far…)
