Sun of Zartha

I am Michael, your host for this story. This story has been started. Most of it is already on FanFiction.net but will be completely transferred to this wiki, after which point it will be deleted from FanFiction.net and kept here and on a Yahoo! group.

Some notes to consider

Here is how I will deal with edits I do not make:

• If the edit adds to the story and enhances it substantially, I will keep it and do my best to integrate it into the entire story.

• If the edit has sexual or violent content stronger than a T or PG-13 rating it will be either deleted or substantially rewritten.

I encourage sequels and other additions to this story from the wiki public. I am specificially seeking help on the chapter The River People, which has not even been started yet (January 2005) but is a chapter I feel is needed for continuity and character development purposes.

Upon request I will post story universe notes that I have used and created. I have tried to keep this story true to canon of the 1997 and 2002 MIB films somewhat closely as regards to the main characters and main events, but I am also trying to expand canon with this story. I had to create an entire story universe around the planet of Zartha, as it was only slighly hinted at in the second film. See Why I wrote this story for more information.

I have never read the original Lowell Cunningham comics, but I have seen MIB (I believe during its original 1997 release or shortly thereafter on DVD - I can't remember for sure) and own the DVD of MIIB.

I am also requesting beta readers to submit critiques as you feel necessary. All criticism will be read by me and carefully considered.



Cast and Background Information
This is a sequel to Men In Black II, the 2002 motion picture and the second of the movies based on the comic book series. A few of the key characters are carried over into this story, and several original characters are introduced.

This story is rated T based on the FictionRatings.com system and would likely correspond to a PG-13 rating if it were a produced screenplay.
