Jenny’s teammates weren’t necessarily meant to be those characters in particular, just suggested by them. Some (or all) of them could be female. I tried to build a sort of superhero team out of cinematic archetypes that seemed current right now (another inspiration for this story was the Authority).
I do like the idea of teenage antihero Dracula, though.
@Garsecg- Perhaps Alucard? Or it could be one of the Lost Boys? Or Someone from Buffy? Angel?
Also I love the Authority (though I’ve only read the first few trades). If you like these kind of team ups, I’d like to suggest the “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” (comics only). Word of warning they are Mature but I don’t think it’s too much more than the Authority. Oh another warning Alan Moore is a misanthrope (and one of my heroes) but he does not translate other languages into English, so sometimes you have to follow along with body language and action scenes only.
There was a Harry Potter fan fiction I read where each time Harry fails to kill Voldemort he’s thrown back into his 11-year old body, with all his memories. I can imagine something like that happening to Jenny, as more and more of her selves across different multiverses get drawn into this cosmic battle where they have to try again and again, learning each time.
As for the rest of the crew, I’d love to keep it public domain/historical: Dracula’s a good choice for the vampire. Who else could we have?
I was thinking most of the crew would be original characters with certain familiar attributes. The one Jenny was talking with was meant to be a sort of Superman-inspired character
It definitely has a very comic-book feel to it, which does it many favors I think. Jenny Everywhere seems like a fantastic character, and I’d love to see more.
“They said I was the world’s greatest hero. I had no idea how little that meant until I left my world behind.”
There’s already been a lot of other pieces involving Jenny Everywhere on this site, which you can find under the tag, and I’m working on a longer story involving her for Jenny Everywhere Day (http://www.jennyeverywhereday.com/).
I now realize the Frankenstein’s Monster should have been a part of this.
Glad to have made another convert to the Shifter :)
It’s interesting how this story, after being overlooked for a while, seems to have suddenly struck a chord with people. Does anyone want to continue it? Because I have some vague ideas, but clearly people are interested and I’d like to let others take a crack if they want to.
This is a great chapter, intriguing and intense, evoking feelings of an epic storyline. I had never heard of Jenny Everywhere, very cool character idea.
