Scenes Off The Cutting Room Floor Introduction

This is a piece where I will post several sets deleted scenes from my work, Shattered Centers, as I go. Since I have already promised that I will post the first four sets in rapid succession, I will do so but make no such commitments for the rate that I produce future ones.

Here is a Link to Shattered Centers if you have not read it and are interested: s/13142847/1/Shattered-Centers

Although I have these scenes posted by chapter sets, they are a generalization for where they fall in comparison to the main story's plot. When I wrote many of them, the planned story structure was very different.

Some of them are shorter than others. Some are disjointed. These scenes are also a little raw, since I decided to cut them before the final product. As a result, details may be vague and characters may have slight OOC moments. There are others that I won't post at all here because they are either too similar to material in main chapters or may relate too much to future chapters. I hope you enjoy these.

You may pick up on slight foreshadowing of topics I'm hoping to touch upon at some point in the future in some of these scenes, although the form of their expression will probably change from how they appear here, if they come up at all later.

If you are a reader who has never read my Boku No My Hero Academa Fan Fiction: Shattered Centers, feel free to read this but be aware you may find yourself lost while looking over this material out of context and there will be spoilers here if you want to read the main story. If you enjoy it anyway, that's awesome. Feel free to read my main story if you want to see more.

For those of you who are familiar with Shattered Centers, this Chapter simply serves as a description of what this piece is and why I am doing it. I am posting it with my first two sets of deleted scenes so if you aren't interested in reading this part, feel free to move on. I promise I get it and won't be upset. If you are one of these individuals who haven't seen my preview on Shattered Centers, I would recommend the next 'chapter' but if you have, you will find new material in the following one.

If your still here, welcome and thanks for sticking around and reading.

I have been writing stories on Fan Fiction sites for some time now. One major thing that happens behind the scenes for me is that I write a lot of material that does not make it to the final cut. I will not lie, this has probably been one of the biggest things that have caused me to burn out and abandon my stories.

This almost happened with Shattered Centers in the middle of 2019, with a scene I will mention in the chapter 4-7 set that was replaced by Izuku's break down in the finalized story. I go into more detail about that scene there. Even as I started the new scene that would eventually become the one I posted, I was upset because I'd worked so hard on the original scene and I thought, 'now no one was going to get to see it.'

Then I thought of posting my Deleted Scenes for everyone to see. Originally, I planned to post it in sections with my main story. Then some of my readers suggested I separate it. Thank you Jacisax and Jane.

So, now I can share my deleted material with you, rather than either letting it just waste away in my Shattered Centers Folder or deleting it. It makes all that extra time and effort worth it.

I hope that you enjoy this. Thank you so much for your support.
