Wow, you've certainly had a good think about where you want to go with this! It's a start certainly, and I think there's a lot we can use from this - we could definitely mine out Klyde, Gavin and zzzxx for this. I'm not sure if Prince Fang can really be used as the main antagonist since he died in canon, could we maybe use another, like maybe a clone or the same character with a different name?

Before we go any further, I think we should go through some guidelines for the overall story and episodes. I've come up with a few already if you'll indulge me:


 * 1) Since Ghost and Toast are on the complete other side of the states, they aren't going to be appearing physically. This might be a small tip-off that something's up when Gavin shows up, but I doubt it'll affect the story beyond a brief "We weren't expecting you" at the start and maybe later on. Toast, I plan to have appearing in it via webcam every now and again for brief chats with Ghost's sis, usually at their grinning or end of an episode. I don't plan on showing Ghost - I'm still debating if Ghost is even aware of his sister.


 * 1) The timeline is supposed to be set concurrently to the series, discounting episodes that feature flashbacks and flash-forwards. Just wanted to clear that up in advance as Casey, when she wanted to connect it to Mystery, tried to get me to set EC some time before and I felt really uncomfortable about being pressured into doing that, which is partly why it's not connected anymore.


 * 1) Canon is canon, but a story is a story. That being the case, if you don't like something about the canon or it doesn't fit the story, the story comes first. I know that's hypocritical to the extreme after my complaint about Valve's treatment of the Gearbox characters of Half-Life, but that's what just what I'm gonna do.
