Hey, all. I'm Rodimus_2316, and am organizing some 80's Hasbro cartoon continuations. So far, I've got both a G1 Transformers and a G.I. Joe ARAH (Sunbow only) sites started:
http://www.virtualtransformerstv.thetfcog.com
http://www.virtualgijoetv.thetfcog.com
The point of these is to continue them from their cancelled point, with fan-written text "episodes", and sound like a genuine continuation from that time. The traditional toy-intro pattern will also be continued from where left-off, and get in as many of the latter-unused toys as possible. The TF site has been established for awhile, but I just recently started the GI Joe one. I know that the Jem cartoon was in-continuity with G1 and GI Joe, and that, as with Jem, they were based on their own toy-lines, and that Jem toys were instead dolls. My question is: Were there any Jem dolls that never made it to the series? Either skipped for some reason, or the show was cancelled before all could've been put in there, or something like that? If so, how about a virtual continuation? Even if that didn't happen here, or the show wasn't totally based on toys like G1 and Joe, a Jem continuation could be done anyway?
Please LMK your thoughts, or have questions. I could also setup a virtual Jem site, if this gets interested parties, but would hope someone else could do it instead. Not sure how much more web-space I can spare. I have seen all of the Jem reruns so far on The Hub, but never saw much of the show from back in the day when it was on TV, so I doubt I could write for it, but would still gladly help in other ways.

Thank you for your time. :)

If you go to the Jemcon.org site they have a group of people that write fanfic that might want to help out. Plus feel free to ask any question on the message board about Jem as there are many of us that would be happy to answer questions about the dolls and cartoon. Good Luck with your project!

I went to that site, but couldn't find the right board, so I e-mailed the webmaster. No response yet. Just to start, I could really use the info on the years the Jem doll-line lasted, as well as the years the cartoon was on TV. At least with that info, I better understand what a Jem virtual continuation would need.
Thanks again.
