That stinks.. I think it's time to end these "themed" things and start some original newgrounds ideas.
Why not have a series, where tom does the first episode, then the next episode is due in 3 months and anyone on newgrounds can try to create it.... then after everyone submits their second episode, the NG community would vote on which would actually be the second episode. Then as the series progressed, the NG community would vote on merchandise ideas, online ads for the cartoon, and finally the DVD cover. After the series has finished up (and uses no copyrighted content) then DVD's could be sold. NG would get tons of press, the users would feel like a community, and NG would make money.
It would sort of be fan fiction but in flash.. so flash-fiction.... *sigh* It's better than a metal gear collab is all I'm saying -_-
Oh and Kudos to stamper and his upper-management technique of yelling at people to get them to do what he wants, that always works so well with angsty teens.
