DISCLAIMER AND THOUGHTS ABOUT HOTS:
I'll be upfront and clear. When StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm came out, I didn't like it's story. Not one bit. In my opinion Blizzard and it's writer, Chris Metzen, have managed to reach lengths even worse than the predictable story for Diablo III. That's what made me start writing this Fanfic.
Before I start pointing out the bad elements from Heart of the Swarm, I'd like to state that Wings of Liberty wasn't decent at all. That is because of the prophecy bull (Obviously pulled out of novels like Harry Potter, Twilight and others) and the fact the antagonists weren't that much appealing, only taunting the players with typical one-liners and sending predictable wave after wave of enemies, all while waiting to fall to players with a modicum of competence. However, after Heart of the Swarm, I don't want to hear anyone EVER complaining about Wings of Liberty. Compared to Heart of the Swarm, Wings of Liberty is a masterpiece.
On a critic I read concerning the story, it is said that the story is one you can't take too seriously. After playing through the campaign, I'd like to reply that one thing is to not take the story seriously, you never could with StarCraft. But an entirely different another is to write a story that offends people's intelligence and memories. It's what Heart of the Swarm does, in most aspects: Void secondary characters, a poor story planning and worse execution, unreliable decisions and behavior of protagonist and antagonist alike, forgettable dialogue, and the absolutely unforgivable retcons that made the bad story even worse, that are Alexei Stukov's return (Taken from Ressurection IV, a semi-canon campaign that can't even be taken seriously) and the Primal Zerg, who were just made up because Blizzard wanted so to be there. Out of most companies that make use of retcons, Blizzard is the one who makes the most abuses. And, because of these abuses, HotS only goes in a worse direction, and even worse can be expected out of the next expansion, Legacy of the Void.
I am DeltaCadimus, the writer of this Fanfic. What has been and what will be written here doesn't represent the views of or any other person but me. It is not meant to be an attack on individuals mentioned or those to be mentioned. They are only written examples and pointing out elements that I feel is what keeps Heart of the Swarm from achieving the potential it should.
This is Heart of the Swarm Alternate, a personal view of how events should have transpired, in my opinion. This is a Fan Fiction, so it's not to be considered as official writing or be taken seriously. It is not to be considered as an insult to the people dedicated to Blizzard's work, but rather a protest form in response to the writing level performed in Heart of the Swarm.
And such, as a Fan Fiction, it will suffer extremely heavy alterations in comparison to Blizzard's work, starting with the invalidating of the Flashpoint novel. While I have little grudge against Flashpoint compared to Heart of the Swarm, there are events and occurrences which require me to invalidate the novel's course. That's just the first of many changes that will come up in this Fan Fiction. Many others will come, relating events, how the story runs and even the characters, which will be one of the major fixes this Fanfic will be performing. Another fix I can assure you is the removal of those goddamn retcons and their replacement with things that make a bit more sense compared to those.
For those of you who've taken their time to read these lines and accepted what will come next, then I wish you a good reading and hope you have some fun spending your time reading these lines about to be written. Otherwise... well, patience.
