Talk:The Perils of Voice Acting

Very, very nice, Joysweeper. The TG was handled well for both characters. --Buck 14:11, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Later: So, now Peter is Arkadais, and his daughter Sarah is the Little Brother. Well, at least they're still family. :) Seriously, you've done a very good job setting up this fictional 80s cartoon. I can see Arkadais' personality has insinuated itself into Peter's mode of thinking (Sugar!). But Peter remains more or less intact as a person. But now she gets to be a fifteen year old girl to boot...

At any rate, I imagine Arkadais herself as a tomboyish girl who hates being mistaken for a boy, but uses it to her advantage when necessary. The show itself seems to be a mixture of He-Man and Conan the Barbarian. I can actually imagine the opening sequence of he cartoon (probably animated by the same company that did Transformers and GI Joe). In the opening shot, the camera speeds along towards a high ridge, getting closer to Arkadais and her companions (4-5 of them). She draws her sword, which glows and fires off a beam, which the camera follows. Segue into a montage of action scenes from various episodes.

Every 80s cartoon had a toy line, of course. The show was probably intended to appeal to boys and girls alike, which might have accounted for its failure. They tried to mash He-Man and She-Ra together in a tomboyish female protagonist, and it didn't quite work out. --Buck 19:16, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Arkadais and Chalvic might have the memories of Peter and Sarah, but that seems to be all, just as Deuvoci remembers the memories of all the many, many fans that make her up (I think of Ami's Song when Nick became Sailor Mercury, she had Nick's memories and still loved her family, but she knew she wasn't Nick). This was really an in-depth story in spite of it's length, and a absolutely positively fantastic read. Check your mail for another deeper review.

I wish you had an IM program, I could discuss this story all day and all night!

I couldn't wait to say this. It's clear that Deuvoci 'aura of effect' that happened to Peter and Sarah, and possibly shadow mountain, has to do (IMHO at least) not only with the power of story telling, but the conbined BELIEF the multiude of die-hard fans had for the show that got crammed into one character that was Deuvoci. Nearly all the other character's were born out of the belief of one person (save type like everyone's eastern dragon), but Deuvoci was born out of SEVERAL fans who LOVED the little show that lasted only one season. And I doubt we have seen the last of this effect, though I doubt it'll cause any human misery (would be out of character for the story), and would be a totaly cheat on the happy ending we've had.
