Introduction
Welcome to Season One of Damaged, an alternate reality General Hospital!
Damaged picks up from the biotoxin scare of February 2009, and begins April 1, 2014. Why the five year gap? I didn't watch the show from roughly spring 2009 until summer 2012 for several reasons:
1. The show was annoying me with a return to Lucky/Elizabeth, Jason/Sam, and hints of the Nikolas/Elizabeth affair.
2. My school schedule was picking up and the next four years didn't leave me much time to care.
Since I didn't watch the show, I don't know all the minute details. I know enough about the major storylines to be relatively annoyed, so Damaged is my way of writing the show the way I see it, which is why I've instituted a lot of changes between 2009-2014. You can click here to read about those changes.
Each season of Damaged runs about ten to twelve episodes and will focus one or two major storylines while others play subordinate roles. Each episode is posted weekly on Fridays at our website. Season Two premieres July 17, 2015.
While I usually try to avoid attaching myself to specific couples because it can provide too much of a narrow focus, readers should know that I have certain character preferences. All of my stories tend to feature Elizabeth, Dillon, Patrick, and Carly in some fashion. I am a fan of the Jason/Elizabeth pairing-there's no point in denying that, so if you don't like those characters and that pairings, I'm not going to be your author.
That being said, I do not set out to unfairly villanize characters like Sam, Ric, and Lucky. I have my own affection for these characters-I just often find they work better with others (in my personal opinion.)
I also try to write for every single character and plan to give them all something to do, even if it's playing a supporting role at first. So please be prepared for a full ensemble focus.
So check out the changes to the GH universe and keep them in mind as you go forward.
