Since everyone else is doing one of these threads about their writing plans, I was feeling left out. So, here's mine.
I have no plans to do an ongoing for the every-verse, but want to do reoccurring features in the anthology. They are:
Doctor Who: yeah, there's an ongoing, but he's only using one Doctor. That leaves 13 with nothing to do. I will be chronicling the adventures of the Sixth Doctor and his two new companions. First story should be done by next week.
Mystery Rangers: Similar to 'Madam Vastra and co.' from Doctor Who, this is a steam punk team of detectives/adventurers, all based around Power Rangers characters/aliens/ history.
The third will be 'pilots', ideas and franchises I'm not sure what my future plans are. Some will be one offs and some may go somewhere. The tentative list so far is:
Monsters vs Aliens Wolf cop Lobster Johnson Mandroid from the Full Moon universe Doctor Who Spin-offs ( UNIT, Counter Measures, solo companions etc) Planet of the Apes ( classic movie version)
Questions? Comments? Don't be shy

I actually had plans for Lobster Johnson in the second story arc of Hellboy entitled In Darkness Dwells. Where his Ghost comes and asks Hellboy for help in the Otherworld. But other than that. You seem to have some great titles coming up.

My...well, let's call them plans, as vague ideas doesn't sound as impressive, would be that any Lobster stories I do would be set in the 30's and I'd check in with you to make sure I'm not getting in your way. I just write some cheesy pulp adventures.
Any borrowing I do, from any franchise, I'm going to touch base with whoever is writing that character. You guys have plans, I just want to borrow the toys and play with them for a little bit.

I figured it would take place in the thirties. Cool.

Any of the established franchises that I have an interest in, my plan is find a corner way out of the way of what the writer of the ongoing is doing.
With Doctor Who, I picked the least likely to get dibbed Doctor, for Power Rangers, I'm setting my stories about a hundred years before the current series etc.
I want to play with as many of the toys as possible, while causing the least amount of trouble.

Yeah, I talked about my plans and then after Monsters vs Aliens my writing schedule got knocked out of whack by pesky real world stuff.
Now, I'm getting back on track and can start making my plans known.
Ideally, I'd have kind of a cycle to my anthology stories with Doctor Who, Mystery Rangers, a 'pilot episode' story and a third regular feature I haven't decided on yet. Still haven't worked out all the details.
Cause, it doesn't help that every time someone mentions a new franchise to bring in I go 'Oh, that's cool!' and end up adding a couple more ideas to my list.

Update:
So, my first Doctor Who story is out (subtle plug!) and now onto Mystery Rangers.
I'm hoping that my final two "semi-ongoings" within the anthology will be something out in space and then something super hero related.
I have several candidates for both, so will be trying out ideas to see which ones I have the most fun writing and which ones you, my loyal reading public, give me the most feedback on. So lots of space opera and cheesy super hero adventure in my future.

Doing some research for a potential Lost in space story, I picked up a bunch of LinS comics in a cheap bin...they were pretty dire. I feel so much better about my own ideas now. Nothing I can come up with can be that bad.

Update: Sorry I've been ignoring you guys. Holidays were crazy and five minutes after Christmas I got sick.
Been getting my plan for 2019 together, and my fanfic is going to slow down alittle, as I have aded a couple projects that might actually get me paid for writing, but Every-verse is still on my mind.
I have notes for three Doctor Who stories, a couple Lost in Space and have been inspired to try a DC TV style project. That one probably won't be showing for awhile, as I want to get a couple episodes written before I release stuff.

Update ( because I need a distraction from how freaking cold it is outside):
Almost done with another Doctor Who story . This one features actual Who mounters, just obscure ones. Research on my JSA serial project is going slowly. Almost have a full cast, but still not feeling comfortable with script format, so writing moves at a snails pace.
and somebody mentioned there may be Hanna-Barbara characters on the site in the future, and I just happen to have a pile of notes from a failed HB imprint at another fanfic site...

I have been planning on a darker take on Scooby-Doo with the Gang taking on real demons and supernatural treats than the usual crooks in monster costumes. My version of Scooby, the Gang would look different and more modern:
FRED: Intelligent jock than just the leader.
VELMA: Asian goth genius who looks like a mix of Daria and Ami from Sailor Moon.
DAPHNE: No longer the damsel in distress and a tough fighter.
NORVILLE/SHAGGY: A slacker who knows more than just being a coward, jokester, and glutton. He'll still be more like a hippie but he also as smarts.
SCOOBY-DOO/SCOOBERT: Scooby is going to be a mystery to us and the Gang in future installments.
REGGIE "RED" HERRING: Yes, he's going to be in my version as he'll be a rival to the Gang.
I hope to intro the new Mystery Incorporated in an upcoming Tales to see if they deserve a series first.

Don't know if any of my HB ideas would make a series, mostly just a bunch of little ideas. Be fun to do something with the Impossibles or the Herculoids.
and there are all kinds of team-up ideas.
Also be fun to try some of the funny animal characters. Nothing 'dark and gritty', but more take them from being jokey characters and instead write adventure stories with some humor.
