Kamp Koral: Stephen's Legacy

Hello, everyone. A month ago at the time of writing this, a Spongebob spinoff called, "Kamp Koral" was announced to the public. This all happened several months after Stephen Hillenburg's death due to ALS. I wasn't his best friend or anything, but I was close to him. Hearing the news of his passing hurt me a lot. I still miss him to this day. I will not forgive those bastards at nickelodeon for making a spinoff. Stephen himself wouldn't have agreed that a spinoff should've been in development, or a thing, ever.

One day in the office, I was attempting to get over Stephen's loss, until one day, they called us over to the meeting room for a special announcement of sort. We all sat at the table for a couple of minutes until one of the executives came in. They announced that Jenny Wall now had the position of Nickelodeon's Chief Marketing Officer. Some of us were excited. Others however, didn't really care at all.

Everything ran the same as it used to be. Some of us were still working on animating, writing the scripts for, and voice acting for the show, "Spongebob Squarepants."

Jenny walked into the room where I was writing a script for an episode that I shall not same, since it isn't supposed to air for a while. She was interested in the show itself, and I told her all about the show, but before I could finish, she said the dumbest thing. I swear, I wanted to quit my job right then and there.

"Let's make spinoffs to cash in on the franchise!"

You. Have got. To be fucking kidding me. I tell her that this is respecting Stephen's legacy, but she shut me up and said that, and I quote, "I don't know who he his, nor do I care."

I had it. I was absolutely done. I was this close to quitting, until she said something that shocked me. She messed with my contract so I was legally unable to leave. She managed to actually fucking do this. So, I don't complain anymore. I'm just done.

A few weeks later, she called us in to talk about the first spinoff, Kamp Koral. I audibly sigh.

She told us we were able to watch an early version the pilot or first episode. I just thought of something after hearing those words. She plays the video, and, it's extremely terrible. The CGI was cheap, the voice acting felt rushed, and overall, it was bad. Everyone else was saying, "It looked great!"

They had to say this, overwise she could screw over everyone else in the room. After we all went back to work, I decided to stay. I went over to the laptop the video was on, and put a flash drive in. After that, I proceeded to drag and drop the file into the flash drive, and take it out so I could mess with the video.

I thought it would be funny to fuck with her, and ruin her precious creation. So, I went to work putting the file into Vegas Pro, and found out that she paused the video at a certain point. Past the credits, was a strange... thing. I'm not sure what to call it, exactly.

I continued where she paused, and I saw text on the screen.

"She ruined my legacy. My creations were tainted by greed, used for a profit. Please, help rid the world of her creation, and let me rest in peace."

''Wait a second. Did- Did stephen create this message?''

I double-checked, and the text changed.

"Do not worry about that. Please, get rid of Kamp Koral, before spongebob as a whole becomes tainted."

I knew exactly what I had to do. I barged into the office the next day with an urgent message.

"Guys, the system containing Kamp Koral's files was re-formatted and wiped clean!"

Earlier that day, I managed to intentionally destroy all files related to Kamp Koral, and they all believed it wasn't me, surprisingly. She ran to the laptop after hearing the news, and freaked out. It was the most hilarious thing I have ever witnessed.

"ALRIGHT, WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THIS!? IF NOBODY SPEAKS UP, I'LL DEDUCT EVERYONE'S PAYCHECKS!"

Everyone was visibly afraid, but spoke up.

"I don't want to have anything to do with this. Stephen dies, and now you make a spinoff for money? You're disrespecting a dead person, and i'm extremely disappointed in nick as a whole."

"I can say the same thing. I knew Stephen personally, and he wouldn't have wanted this at all."

"I'm done with everything related to this place."

She flipped, at yelled at everyone. We didn't end up getting paid at all for the week. For the month, even. After the event, she said the spinoff was still continuing, and everyone couldn't do anything about it.

The next day, I checked back on the video file, and the text was replaced with, "You couldn't do much, but you did all you could, and I just wanted to say... Thank you."

You're welcome, Stephen. I'm sorry I couldn't cancel the spinoff, but i'm glad I could help.
