For about the past 3 years, I've been writing a series called Gopher's Gateway. My personal comedy/sci-fi/action series, it focuses on a group of teenage students set to command and design the most advanced school in the nation! It crosses over with numerous series (Star Trek, I Love Lucy, Pokemon, etc.) and while being a comedy mainly, has no objectionable content. I was just wondering if anyone wanted me to post it here. I've written 50 episodes so far, ranging from 11 to 30 pages per episode.

Thanks in advance!:wave:

Here's a brief snippet from the episode I'm working on now, "The Great Toy Alliance, Part II" (051):

In the main parking lot of Hueytown Academy, a fight was about to break out. Rumors had been buzzing all the day that a boy named Adam Rayford and Ryan Tenega were going to fight. Adam had so far been a minor violator, the majority of his violations consisting of the now-prohibited use of profanity on school grounds. The major violations were driving recklessly through the parking lot at speeds a shocking ten kilometers per hour above the set speed limit. But, with tractor beams, inertial dampers and construction cones, that could be prevented. Profanity was harder to stamp out.

Certainly, there had been a rule against coarse language at school in the past, but teachers had been frightened for several reasons of why not to enforce it. One, there had been almost weekly reports of bully students that had threatened their teachers. Two, goofy parents squabbled with school staff over a bunch of bull about emotional trauma, free speech and the like. Only a few good teachers threatened with lye soap. Until Hueytown Academy.
With personal shields, video communication systems, transporters and other gems from Starfleet’s vast array of technology, all rules could finally be enforced. On Hueytown Academy’s first day, almost 60% of the school’s students had broken at least one regulation. The majority of these included kids bringing cell phones, using profanity, smuggling in cigarettes, skipping class, talking disrespectfully to staff members, sticking gum to the bottom of their chair, littering on school grounds and insulting other students. Besides the cell phones, profanity and gum, the biggest problem had been bullies.
While the lesser violations had been let off with warnings and notes to concerned parents, the more serious ones had resulted in detention in the brig for some. Sean Sporman and--at the time--Heather Allgood, Jordan Reeves, Meagan Hall, Rachel Waters and Courtney Gage had led the highly publicized ‘Geek’s Lib’ movement. This had resulted in over 50 bullies and idiots getting detention. Five of the attempts to stop these bullies had actually resulted in the use of the phaser, but only on light stun. There was hope violence wasn’t needed in this situation either.

In a very shortsighted move, students began to huddle around where the two idiots were supposed to fight. Sean watched on, hidden behind a holographic tree, and shook his head in disbelief. “Why does anybody watch two people duke it out anyways?”
Kerri Davis shrugged. “I’m really not sure either. What about you, Kaylee?”
Kaylee smiled. “Well, it has kind of a comic appeal, that’s what the silly people say anyway.”
Sean gasped. “Two people hurting each other in a serious manner has comic appeal? Sure, when I use silly weapons to fool idiots, that’s fine, because its in the name of the law and justice. But, that’s like Super Smash Brothers! This is like Mortal Kombat! And, we all know which game is better. Besides, only one of those games has Jigglypuff.”
Kerri and Kaylee both laughed.
Sean tapped his combadge. “Papa Bear to Not-so-Goldilocks, do you read?”

“Papa Bear to Not-so-Goldilocks, do you read, over?”
Jordan Reeves laughed aloud as he tapped his combadge. “Clever that you are using these Hogan’s Heroes codenames. This is Not-So-Goldilocks, over.”
“Prepare to move in. The furnace is about to light.”
Valka Trelb, the Bolian from Starfleet, laughed. “Do you really think those…what do you call them…sissymorons…can hack into our advanced technology?”
“It’s two separate words.” Explained Andrea Dickinson. Group B was hidden behind a black van, also in the parking lot. “Sissy and moron.”
“Well, as Sean is fond of saying,” responded Jordan, “‘better safe than sorry!’”
“The furnace is nearing ignition. Prepare the extinguisher. Repeat, move in with the extinguisher.” Sean’s voice ordered over the combadge.
The three emerged from behind the van. As Jordan walked forward, “If I move any closer, I’ll be foamin’ at the mouth!”

At one time, Courtney Rickles would have enjoyed watching a fight. But, now, she despised fisticuffs almost as much as Sean Sporman and Jordan Reeves did. But, most people did not know this. So, she had agreed to go undercover to observe the fight. Her real mission was to note which people supported the fisticuffs so that a warning list could be made. If enough people enjoyed watching the violent event, a conference hosted by a celebrity would be made to talk some sense into the wrongly minded kids.
“Come on, slug him one!” heckled Kevin Finnen.
Then, the group was distracted as they saw someone in the air on his sleigh, which was being pulled with nine reindeer.

“Ho! Ho! Ho!” Santa Claus chortled happily, “Carol will be pleased to know the trail runs are getting faster! Don’t you agree, Rudy?”
The reindeer with the glowing red nose laughed. “Sure! But, do you have to call me Rudy?”
“No problem—Rudy—I mean, Mr. Rudolph.” Santa responded.
Blitzen giggled.
Comet rolled her eyes. “Do you have to giggle like that yellow electric Pokemon?”
“Let’s focus on the mission here!” Rudolph ordered.
Blitzen snapped back, “Lighten up!”
Rudolph nose glowed red.
“He lit up!” Donner laughed.

“That must be another one of Sean’s holograms!” Ryan Tenega boomed, “Ignore it!”
“I wouldn’t be so sure…” Courtney Rickles muttered in sotto.
Suddenly, group A began to walk toward the fight. “Now, this better be a huddle about how to follow the law or to talk about family-friendly shows, because I know you peeps aren’t gathering to watch a fight in my parking lot!” Sean Sporman’s opening approach was somewhat similar to something that he had done just a week prior.
Courtney was not the only undercover agent near the fight scene.
Mary Beth Hogan began to walk away. “Come on, let’s go find some real men.”
“Yeah,” agreed Kacie Holmes, “This is quite ridiculous.”
“Such stupidity,” huffed Liz Larson, “Is hard to find.”
“Yeah! But, it’s not a collector’s item!” Alexis Stanley exclaimed with a giggle.
“What?” Adam boomed.
“What are you ladies leaving for?” Tenega cried.
“Don’t you see, jerks?” Sean laughed loudly, “Women don’t like men that fight. They like men who think…who use their mind, that don’t act rashly and are nice to them. If you fight just to fight and not in the name of justice or self-defense, you not only lose a friend…you lose respect. And, while one can always get more friends, one can never get respect back.”
The predictable reaction was soon to come.
“You!” Adam shook his finger violently, “You and your moralist values! You stupid Trekkie.”
Oohs and Aahs emanated from the crowd.
“I believe the word you are looking for is Trekker.” Jordan Reeves corrected, his group now approaching on the area.
Jordan then began to step back. Sean did the same. Phase 2 was set.

“Shall I fly us around for another pass?” Rudolph the Red-Nosed-Reindeer’s question went unanswered as Santa Claus talked to the Easter Bunny on the viewscreen installed on his sleigh.
“…and then, I said, that’s not my mom, that’s my egg!” The Easter Bunny completed his punch line.
The two laughed.
“Well,” Easter Bunny said, “I had better go talk to that Mister Hershey. He’s always letting me on the latest candy secrets.”
“Very well, and when that day comes, I’ll be sure to get my toothpaste ready!” Santa Claus laughed.
“Tell me…on my joke…” The Easter Bunny shuffled nervously, “I didn’t lay an egg, did I?”
The sleigh shook from the laughter of the Reindeer and Santa Claus.

“What—“ Adam could not even speak as Kaylee Clark smooched Sean Sporman on the lips passionately.
After the kiss, Kaylee smiled broadly at Sean. “What a nice man. Hard to find one’s like you.”
Andrea Dickinson also approached Sean. “I wondered how long it would be until you kissed him.”
“Yeah.” Mary Beth Hogan said seductively, “His Disneyisms turn me on!”
“What is he?” Alexis Stanley said, “A piece of electronics?”
Kacie Holmes giggled, and then said, “His clean jokes just make me tingle!”
“Hold me closer, Seanie!” Kaylee hugged him tightly.
“If I hold you any closer…I’ll be in back and around you!” Sean said suddenly.
“What a Groucho.” Andy Blackerby said, shaking his head as he struggled to suppress his laughter.
Jordan Reeves fell to the concrete ground in laughter, but was only hurt by the laughing pain in his side.
Adam and Ryan were gone now; obviously demoralized, just as the crew of Hueytown Academy had planned.
Emily Ham shrugged and looked at Jordan. “What should we do with him?”
Jordan looked up. “Why don’t we ask Santa Claus?”
