What is Next Justice?
Next Justice is an online fanfiction series that I've been working on for a while now. It's a fan-made DC Comics series that is filled with next generation original characters but with the heavy presence of canon characters as well. The series aims to find a good balance between original and canon characters. Some story arcs, both short and long, will center on original characters while others will center on canon characters, and of course there will be story arcs that center on both original and canon characters.
The series is an alternate universe but very heavily based on pre-Nu52 Earth 1. It's only an alternate universe because we had to play around with the timeline a bit in order to fit some characters in, but we stick very close to actual events that happened pre-Nu52. We do have some bias when it comes to ships between canon characters, so if you don't ship it, I'm sorry. However also just because two characters have a child together in this series, that doesn't automatically mean we support the relationship between those two characters. For example we will have a child of Harley Quinn and the Joker in this series, but Next Justice and those behind it do not support the abusive relationship between Harley Quinn and the Joker. It will be further addressed in the origin story of that child.
So who are we? Who are the people behind Next Justice?
My name is Anna Davidson, and I'm the main writer behind the series. I started Next Justice – though that wasn't the project's name at the time – when I fell in love with writing next generation characters, thanks to a next generation Teen Titans role-play site I joined. However I came to love characters created by friends of mine and thus they've become part of the project as well. A few faces have changed, several characters added and taken away as I've tried to juggle them with plots and everything. The current faces, aside from my own, behind the characters of Next Justice are my friends and sister: 'Thena, Dallas, and Nat. I will of course make sure to credit them whenever possible so you always know the amazing work they've done and the ideas and characters they've created or inspired.
You may be wondering how Next Justice will work – or you may not be, but I'll explain it anyways. Once stories start getting posted and started for the series, I'll add a page here that will tell you what stories to read in what order to lessen confusion. I'll try to post the majority of the origin stories before starting any major story arcs. Stories will be short with the possibility of longer stories to come. Chapters will have no specific length.
You should be aware though before reading, that this series will contain LGBT+ characters as well as poly characters. If you don't like any of that, you'll probably not like the series, but this way you've been warned. There will be no NSFW in this series, but there will be gore and romance and fighting to the best of my writing ability. The series might be posted unedited so any typos or mistakes will be corrected when they're caught.
Next Justice will also not last forever. There's no definite end plotted out yet, but the series will eventually come to an end. Will anything follow it? I'm not really sure at the moment. I do, however, hope you enjoy Next Justice, and to anyone reading the series: I'm honored to have you join me on the journey through this series.
Sincerely, Anna
