Truth be told, i have always wanted to be an author. Hell, i have a book planned out. And i know of about 10 websites that will sell a persons Novels independently.
And, i look at us tremors fans, (Whilst listening to 2SFH ) and i think we all want to bring back Tremors. But we do feck all.
So, i propose a idea. I'm top of my class in English Literature & English Language. If anyone could write something I properly could. We all together think of a detailed Tremors story, keep it as a Cannon; No killing main characters, No blowing up Perfection etc. I say together we thing of a Tremors Novel, and if you give me enough Info, ill write it best of my ability's. Let you read it and if its good ill sell it. Hell ill advertise it.
We need to get Tremors back on the map, get the Internet talking about Tremors 5, not just a few Cult sites. Everyone. Get Tremors alive and kick 'in.
I'm proposing we make a Light Novel (Not in a Manga sense though). A 100-175 Page light read. Based on the independent sites I could be using, $10, £7 would be how much it would cost to order. And that's including P&P.
All we would need is a Good story, with a plot twist at least. Nothing really huge. It needs to be a Cannon, like an Episode of Tremors the series; We, Tremors Underground work on a Story and write it?
Anyone with me? Or am I the 'New User' full of Crazy Ideas. I have a two, three month break between me starting collage in late August. In that time i could at least have half of a Tremors Light Novel Complete, i may even have it done.
So, we start now. Propose some ideas? And we shall build on them. Until its good enough to be written. Lets do it!
(And, for a point of reference. My work has been in Three UK Poem books, 2 UK Teenager short Story collection books and i have been compared to H.G Wells by my local News paper. When i say I'm good, I'm good)

Sounds like a good idea, but I don't think we can legally sell it, can we?
Anyways, as for ideas, I'll be thinking. When I get some I will be sure to post it.

Its legal to sell them, Ive checked. Distribution via Internet Independently = Good Distribution via shops with a Publisher = Good Distribution via Shops Independently without a Publisher = Bad
As long as We only sell it through a site such as Create Space we will be fine Just need a bloody good idea!

Thanks, thats the hard part... Thinking of a Tremors story that has a twist. But keeping it a Cannon limits what you can do.
One thing we could try to put in, A Graboid swimming. If you think it would be cool

!!RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE THREAD/TOPIC!!
Im still thinking of a story, ive figured we can't set it in perfection. So we have it like Tremors 2 and Shriek and Destroy - were Burts called out on a Mission and what not.
Based on that we have all of America, Canada, Mexico and even the Amercias to play with.
Heres an Idea, a Overused Idea. But it could work. Mountains. We have burt Gummer called out to a Assblaster Incident in Peru or Brazil. Burt Tracks the ass blaster to a isolated Valley. Cut off by four steep Mountain. In there lay a deforested area filled with Shreikers and Graboids. A nest so to speak (Although Graboids are not a hive species.) And Ass Blasters are escaping and spreading Graboid Eggs all around the Americas.
Maybe? No....
I don't know, it needs to be Cannon so im bounded to the average Tremors storys. I have no room to go mad!?! But i got to make it differnet and Inresting Some how!?!?

And, before some bright spark asks. "Why Don't you Just turn the films into Novel?" Theres a rather large Problem with that.
Creating a Cannon or pastiche Novel, or in a Manga sence a Doujinishi is alowed. Aslong as full Copyright/Respected Owners is added. And aslong as you sell it Independantly. EG: Not in Shop's.
Novelising, Novelizing? (Is that even a Word?) a Film requires you to have full suport/Backing of the Copyright Holders. Meaning Stampede, Universal Studios and Sci-fi. (Sci-fi if you use Series Characters) And Although i belive Stampede would gladly alow I or someone elce to Novelize Tremors. Universal would step in and make things Differcult. Plus Sci-Fi getting Involved it would be a Nightmare.
So were Stuck with A Cannon Novel. Basicly were alowed an Episode of the Series. But Not alowed add anything new that would effect the Tremors Universe (Making it non Cannon)

I like the idea of tracking ABs. Maybe we can return to Mexico, where a lone Graboid is on the loose. Burt and Tyler are dispatched, but arrive too late. Shriekers are attacking, and Burt and Tyler have a couple cool attack scenes. But there are too many of them, and they are overrun by ABs. Burt and Tyler need to call in backup...Maybe some other Perfection residents can come into play (Jodi can finally get those Shrieker parts )

How about this. Nancy talks Burt into taking a break from all this creature hunting and Burt decides to go to a tropical island with very few people, but there is someone there who doesn't like burt very well and he illegally buys Graboid eggs from another country and spreads them out on the island and lets them hatch so that they will kill burt. When the problem gets to complicated Burt calls Tyler, Grady and Earl for some help but Larry decides to tag along and causes even more trouble.

Not Bad Critterbuster, but abit out goin by bringing bacl Gragy and Earl. Remember Earl and Graddy hasnt been on good terms since Graddy ditched him after T1 (If im getting Character names Right xD ) And the Earl ditched Burt after T2.
Project412 idea is much more Cannon, And could be used. But it would need some 'Padding' before i could work with it

Niall, you got Val and Grady mixed up. Grady was the sidekick in Tremors II. And yeah, my idea definitely needs work, but just thought I would throw it out there. Feel free to expand upon it.

lol, so i did get the characters up But your idea works, does need some padding and Mexican names. Basicly Tremors 2 meets Tremors the series with more characters

I got another idea. We can have a cliffhanger ending. After the main story ends, Burt and co can Return to Perfection (I made a pun lol) and they can notice traces of a mixmaster creature, leading to a sequel. And as for Mexican names: Julio, Pedro, Juan, Miguel, and Rosalita have already been used.

:-) Tremors 3 Provides! Last night Tremors 3 was in Sci-Fi, unfortnatly my mum was waching the first *shivers* Sex in the City Film. Luckily i have all 4 Tremors Films on my MP4 Player so i still watched Tremors 3. Anyway, that small story is pointless. Tremors 3 Gave me a story In T3 They wanted to Capure a Graboid, it failed. But thats a story. Take Projec412 idea, Mexico + Graboids + Shriekers + AssBlasters. Add some Twister. The Idea of Its Burt trying to Destroy the Graboids and Co, Racing Against the US Govermennt Team trying to Capture them. I guess Twister isnt the best Example. Think Jurassic Park 2; The lost world. That would add my Story factor, but i still need a Location with a difference ~

Dude!!! Awesome idea! Somewhere in the middle, maybe Burt can help capture a Graboid, maybe for the same reasons he was gonna help in Tremors 3. Love the idea, definitely adds a twist!
