Ghostbusters West Coast Fan Fics (Update 9-16-25!)

Back in early 2003, Andy Harness came on GBN with an idea he called “Legends of Ghostbusters”. Out of that idea, a new fan fic-based franchise was born. Vincent Belmont suggested the franchise be based in LA, because there weren’t any franchises there; Ludicris came on boad as CEO, and GBN members such as Kyle Stevens, egon901, Proton User, “Ray Parker Jr.”, Peter Kong, and Chadderbox joined up. Then they made their real mistake, and asked some guy called “Veedramon” to join the crew.

Five years later, the Ghostbusters West Coast Division is still going strong, and putting out fan fics:

August 2004–Timeline Year Twenty-Two

A disaster in Tennessee releases Andy Harnish’s oldest enemy. After trashing the East Tennessee Ghostbusters, Ashram has come to Los Angeles, looking to take his revenge. In the aftermath, the Ghostbusters West Coast will be forever changed…

As with my fan fic thread, links to GBWC stories will be posted a few at a time every day or so until we get caught up.

So now, let’s go back to 2003, and see where it all started…

Opening Night Part One

By Fritz Baugh

April 2003–Timeline Year Twenty-One

The premeire of a new Disney movie is not usually a cause for terror. But tonight’s a little different. A monster is on the loose and he’s ■■■■■■. Who ya gonna call?

If only. They’re three thousand miles away…

Opening Night Part Two

By Fritz Baugh

The saga continues! It’s Peter Venkman and Joey Williams versus the Ravisher, armed only with their wits!

Opening Night Part Three

The wounded Jon Dennison is taken to Steven Point Hospital, where a young doctor tries to save his life. Too bad the Ravisher has other plans…

Opening Night Part Four

By Fritz Baugh

It’s time for a recruitment drive, and you won’t believe the characters that get chosen to be the new West Coast Ghostbusters. You really won’t believe some of the ones who didn’t make the cut!

Opening Night Part Five

By Ludicris and Ron Daniels

The Ghostbusters West Coast go into the field at last; it’s a showdown with the Ravisher, but this time the there’s particle throwers involved. And who is the surprise new member of the GBWC?

The Hanging Tree

by Ludicris

May 2003–Timeline Year Twenty One

Just another fun day at the office for the North Division. Graveyards, zombies, lots of things blowing up.

Russian Roulette

by Otter

June 2003–Timeline Year Twenty One

Joey and Fritz run into a strange old man (and we mean “run into” literally). But he’s an eccentric old genius who may be sticking around for a while…

This story introduce Otter, our strange engineer. The guy who created him hasn’t logged into the boards in three or four years, but we kept the character around because he’s fun to drag out for gags every once in a while.

FGB fan Peter Kong wrote the next story. We don’t exactly emphasize the fact that GBOT fan fic continuity includes the bare bones of the FGB story, but with something an awful lot like Ghost Gummers showing up in the new video game, maybe the guys at Filmation were onto more than any of us thought…

The Reunion, Part One

by Peter Kong

June 2003–Timeline Year Twenty One

Peter Kong’s Dad, former Ghost Buster Jake Kong, comes to visit. But what bad news is he bringing? And why does the ghost committing a stickup look familiar to Peter? And will Tracy the gorilla get to drive ECTO-1S?

The Reunion, Part Two

Peter Kong is trapped by the Ghost Father, and the other Ghostbusters are trying to find him. Has Jack Kong, Peter’s brother, really gone over to the “dark side”?

This story, sadly, was never completed. We can assume that the Kongs and the GBWC survive, of course, but the final fate of Peter Kong’s brother is one only he knows.

Post Mortem Kombat, Part One

by RazorsEdge

July 2003–Timeline Year Twenty One

Jeff’s meeting with Sub Zero will have some major significance later. And the neutrona saber has proven to be a somewhat popular invention; it will pop up again in later stories.

By Kyle Stevens

The West Coast Ghostbusters and Venkman enter the pyramid, and are forced to divide into three smaller teams to battle the Ravisher and the Geistimanns.

Curtain Call, Part Three

The final showdown with the Ravisher and his master, Lord Atrocity. LaLlarona’s prophesy is coming true…the brutal plan of the God of Death moves forward…and stopping it may require one man to make the ultimate sacrifice…

Intermission

By Fritz Baugh and Jeremy Hicks

May 2004–Timeline Year Twenty Two

The Ghostbusters have mourned the loss of one of their own, the resignation of their most experience member, and the addition of two new members to replace them. But now, something dark begins to surface in the mind of Jeremy Hicks…

“Curtain Call” was the culmination of “Season 1” of the GBWC, wrapping up most of the storylines that had begun in “Opening Night”. “Intermission” serves as both an epilog to “Curtain Call” and the Prolog to “Chronicles of Gozer” (which is detailed in it’s own seperate thread)

11

nice to see that your putting the stuff up .

12

Yeah I agree. I also like to read GBWC fan fics, too. :blush: :cool:

13

I’ve always wondered Fritzy if John Lipsyte’s ethereal presence makes him the Patron Saint of Ghostbusters, kinda like Barry Allen?

14

Maybe. Though I can guarantee John Lipsyte is staying dead. :lol:

15

Act Two, Part One

By Fritz Baugh

January 2005–Timeline Year Twenty Three

The Ghostbusters West Coast are back and all brand new. After the trials of the last year, a smaller but more determined team comes together as a monster is stealing eyeballs all over LA.

Act Two, Part Two

The mysterious ninja takes on Calcent the Eye Collector, but even he can’t stop the bloodthirsty fiend. How are the Ghostbusters going to stop this opponent when the standard procedure is useless? Plus, another new face appears in GBCentral West, one that gets a reaction out of Otter

This story begins the “Second Season” in earnest. There’s some big changes from where we left the GBWC at the end of “Curtain Call” and “Intermission”–and upcoming stories will eventually fill in most of the gaps

16

The Path of Rage

By Kyle Stevens

July 2004–Timeline Year Twenty Two

Werewolves a lot nastier than Micheal Jackson ever was are appearing in Central LA. But some of them are good guys…and some are attempting to summon a horrific servant of the Wyrm…

This one takes place before all the changes seen in “Act Two”. It draws from the mythology of White Wolf Games’ original World of Darkness; I use a lot of stuff from Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, and Ars Magica (which technically isn’t White Wolf anymore, but was more or less part of the WoD1 backstory) in the GBOT continuity myself, so this worked out pretty well.

Ghostbusters International: Con-Fusion

By Fritz Baugh, with Vincent Belmont, Kevin Kemarly, and Greg Justis

August 20, 2005. Timeline Year Twenty Three

GenCon is the world’s largest gaming convention, and just happens to be held in Fritz Baugh’s old home town. But he, Vincent Belmont, Kevin Kemarly, and Greg Justis are in for more than they bargained for, and I’m not just talking about being insulted by Adam Sessler…

This was inspired by real events; Vincent and I really did attend GenCon 2005, and met Kevin Kemarly, Greg Justis, the Louisville Ghostbusters, the Indiana Ghostbusters, and each other there. While the ghost incident is made up, Vincent really did get made fun of by Adam Sessler on X-Play

Where in the World Is Chelsea Aberdeen? Part One

By Fritz Baugh

September 2004–Timeline Year Twenty Two

The GBWC has fallen apart, and Fritz Baugh is not far behind–the love of his life has vanished, leaving only mystery and confusion in her wake. Will the help of Vincent Belmont, Bo Holbrook, and Jen Spengler be enough to help him find her–and pull himself from the brink of dispair?

Where in the World Is Chelsea Aberdeen? Part Two

A chance discovery by Jen Spengler leads the investigation into a new direction that bears fruit. As Fritz investigates a run down amusement park with Bo Holbrook, Jen and Vincent Belmont confront Chelsea Aberdeen’s aunt Dorothy–and make more than one shocking discovery.

Where in the World Is Chelsea Aberdeen? Part Three

The truth behind Chelsea Aberdeen’s disappearance is revealed, as Vincent uncovers the tale of Fergus Aberdeen, Danise MacDuff, and Lucindra Williams. A tale that binds Chelsea, her aunt Dorothy, and the cursed hybrids of Toad Island together.

Where in the World Is Chelsea Aberdeen? Part Four

The harrowing conclusion. The Ghostbusters have infiltrated the Deep One’s caves. Bo Holbrook has a violent confrontation with Arvis. Fritz Baugh finds Chelsea Aberdeen…but after coming across a continent to find her, is this meeting going to be their last?

Transition

He saved Chelsea…but Fritz lies on the brink of death as his friends, teammates, family, and the woman he loves stand helplessly by. Whatever the outcome…the Ghostbusters West Coast will never be the same.

This story was born out of former GBWC CEO Ludicris (Joey Williams’) idea to have everyone do a story spotlighting their character and exploring their backstories. I’d been slowly percolating the Fritz/Chelsea romance in stories such as “Mummy Dearest”, and the thought of putting it in the center of the story seemed a natural. She would disappear, and a witch named Lucindra would be behind it. Fritz would go nuts trying to find her, and have to journey accross the country to do so, including a visit to his home town of Indianapolis. I vaguely thought, at the time, Leon Hogan would probably be with him (due to their own backstory established in “Home Turf”). I even decided to title the story “Where In The World Is Chelsea Aberdeen?”, as a swipe of the “Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?” series popular in the 1990’s.

Between real life events, Ludicris’s resignation from the team, and the decision to revamp the status quo for “Act Two”, it evolved into one of the key stories explaining the transition from the status quo c. “Chronicles of Gozer” to “Act Two”.

United Darkness

By Kyle Stevens

May 2006–Timeline Year Twenty Four
