I'm a little embarrassed to share this, but I figure that it has its audience somewhere. 
I was wanting to make an anthology series based on a little odd fad going on within the Team Fortress 2/Garry's Mod community of turning the classes/characters into "monsters" or "freaks", I.E. the infamous "Painis Cupcake".
Though it's an odd idea, I wanted to redo these silly video fad things in a way that made them a touch more serious, though still highly freakish. My series would've been like the Twilight Zone or the Outer Limits, but much stranger, with each of these internet-born "TF2 Freaks" having their own episode that tells their origin stories or otherwise shows them running amok and what the "normal" folks have to do about it.
I have a blog on the idea, mostly showing my "Freak Files": reinterpretations of the "famous" freaks to my image. It may not have the best writing or art, but it's the best I could do with my skill-level.

I started this idea both as a personal interpretation of this freaky fandom, and as a dumping ground for my own freakish ideas (I have quite a few "freaks" of my own, each with their own odd stories that I'd love to share). Problem has been the lack of support, and/or the support I do get being from people who don't quite understand what I'm trying to do (they want to put their freaks in it, or they want me to have so-and-so freak fight this other freak, like this series).
Hopefully I'll find some support here.
