CHUCK VS A NEW BEGINNING
AUTHOR UPDATE
JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT UPDATED THIS STORY IN QUITE A WHILE, DOESN'T MEAN THAT I HAVE ABANDONED THIS. AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE EVIL LORD DARTH REAL LIFE HAS BEEN A VERY PAINFUL THORN IN MY SIDE FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS BY STAYING BUSY ON THE ROAD CONSTANTLY AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS.
MY TWO BETA/EDITORS HAVE ALSO BEEN BUSY WHICH ALSO HAS BEEN THE CAUSE FOR DELAYS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
I HAVE ALSO BEEN DEBATING RE-WORKING SOME OF THESE CHAPTERS SINCE SOME OF THE MYSTIQUE AND EVENTS HAVEN'T PLAYED OUT TO WHAT I HAD IN MIND ESPECIALLY AFTER THE "INTERSECT" WAS INTRODUCED INTO CHUCK'S LIFE AND THE MISSIONS THAT FOLLOWED.
THE VISION I HAD FOR THIS WAS INTRODUCING THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS TO THE CHUCK FAMILY, COULD THINGS BE BETTER? OF COURSE, BUT THE QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT THE READERS WOULD WELCOME ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES. ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT CHUCK AND HAILEY WILL BE TOGETHER, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY THE STORY ISN'T WELL RECEIVED AMONG THE MASSES.
I ALSO KNOW THAT I HAVE LOOSE-ENDS ON HERE THAT NEED TYING UP SUCH AS THE WHOLE STANFORD THING WITH T.J. MONEY UNCOVERING EVERYTHING, THE PURPOSE OF CHUCK DOING WORK AT SOME OF A.J. CASINO'S PROPERTIES WAS FOR WHEN HE GOT INTERSECTED AND NEEDED TO GET AWAY FROM BEING CAUGHT UP IN THE SPY GAME.
NOW COMES ANOTHER DILEMMA, AND WOULD WELCOME YOUR THOUGHTS AND INPUT FOR THAT SCENARIO. PLEASE EITHER REVIEW OR INBOX ME ON WHAT ROAD TO TRAVEL:
(1) CASINO & COMPANY GET'S CHUCK OUT WHEN BECKMAN GIVES TERMINATION ORDER.
(2) CHUCK DECIDES TO WORK EXCLUSIVELY FOR CASINO AFTER GETTING HIS DEGREE, PLUS RECEIVE TRAINING FROM HAILEY & COMPANY.
(3) CHUCK MEETS DOCTOR O. AND DISCOVERS THE TRUTH OF EVERYTHING.
(4) WHEN CHUCK GETS THE INTERSECT REMOVED.
ALL THE SCENARIOS CAN LEAD UP TO A SETUP LIKE IN ORIGINAL, WHERE BECKMAN WANTED TO HAVE CHUCK BASICALLY UNDER HER THUMB AND MONITORED 24/7 WITHOUT HAVING A CHANCE TO BREATHE. ALSO CAN SETUP SOME COMEDIC BITS FROM THE GUYS MUCH LIKE WHAT WAS SHOWN IN THE ORIGINAL.
NOW LET ME POINT OUT THAT WHEN I'M BRINGING UP THE ORIGINAL, THE BIGGEST ISSUE WAS SARAH BECOMING A POSSESSIVE PSYCHO WHEN IT CAME TO CHUCK. NOT HAPPENING THIS TIME AROUND BECAUSE CHUCK'S ALREADY BEEN IN A LENGTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH HAILEY BEFORE SARAH CAME INTO HIS LIFE.
NOW ONE FINAL THOUGHT, I HAD AT THE EARLY STAGES WRITING THIS POINTED OUT THIS STORY WASN'T REALISTIC ENOUGH FOR THEM BECAUSE CHUCK'S A WIMP. WELL LET ME PUT THIS VIEWPOINT ON EVERYONE, ANY ORDINARY JOE/JANE THAT WORKS A REGULAR JOB HAS THE NSA/CIA CHASING YOU DOWN ALL OVER YOUR CITY SHOOTING GUNS AND THREATENING TO BUNKER YOU PLUS BEING DRAGGED INTO SHOOT OUTS WITH NO TRAINING WHATSOEVER WOULD MAKE ANYBODY LIKE CHUCK!
THE OTHER POINT WAS THAT CHUCK HAS NO BACKBONE AND CAVES UNDER PRESSURE TO ELLIE TO WHAT SHE DEMANDS. YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THAT ONCE CHUCK GAINED SOME CONFIDENCE IN THE LATER YEARS THAT HE HAD A BACKBONE AND EVEN ELLIE COULD SEE HE NO LONGER NEEDED TO BE PLACED IN A BUBBLE TO PROTECT HIM FROM THE CRUEL WORLD. WITH CHUCK BEING INVOLVED WITH HAILEY AND COMPANY THAT ENTIRE YEAR BEFORE THE WHOLE "GOVERNMENT INVASION" OF HIS LIFE, HE BEGAN GAINING HIS CONFIDENCE BACK AND HAD ANOTHER SUPPORT SYSTEM ADDED INTO HIS LIFE BESIDES HIS FAMILY.
LAST THING IS THIS: IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY STORY/IDEAS BECAUSE IT'S NOT CANON OR BECAUSE IT'S NOT A CHARAH-FIC, YOU HAVE 2 CHOICES:
(1) RE-WATCH ALL 5 SEASONS OF CHUCK ON DVD
(2) OR AS OUR FRIEND THE LATE GREAT ARMADILLOI (RIP) WOULD SUGGEST, GO ELSEWHERE FOR CANON LOL.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION, CASINO HAS SPOKEN! :-)
