A note from me, the author. Hi.
First off, let's get this out of the way: I don't own Cowboy Bebop. If I did, there would be another two hundred and sixty-three seasons, and a new movie every week. I do own Jonathan Jacobs- Jack, as you'll come to know him- and I am the creator of his storyline. If you want to use the character, ask me first.
Howdy! Thank you for reading my story. Well, right now you're reading my note, which is getting in the way of the story. Don't skip ahead yet.
I have invented a character, invented his storyline, and written up the tales of the Bebop crew from his perspective. Why, you ask? Well, Jack's a cool character, for starters. I like writing for him. And he allows me to do neat things: (if you haven't finished the series, skip to the next paragraph) I can use him to save Spike's life, for instance.
But I really like how well the character fits into the story. There are times when I'd feel that Jack was intended to be there from the start; believe me, I created the character and began writing him into Bebop episodes before I saw the movie. That he fits so well into the events of the movie surprised me quite a bit.
Oh, and I might release the rewritten, Jack-included Bebop stories. But those stories are in a very rough form now; quite a bit of editing will be required before I can release them on this site.
And yes, I know that the movie takes place on Mars. But I liked the idea of writing for a New New York better. And come on, New Times Square? Ah, well. The little changes are present. Sorry. I just like things that way.
Also, reviews are encouraged; but let it be known that I've already written the whole story, so I won't be able to edit major stuff that you don't like. And try not to be too mean. I kind of like this story.
By the way, there are two moments of fan service, that I'm aware of; once in the Prologue, and a blunt use of fan service in Part Seven. If there are any more, let me know.
Now, on to the next page, where Jack's history will be (partly) revealed...
