Author's Notes & Story History

Story History

After working with Section 32 and the characters for almost five years now, I've finally felt that it was time to show my work on a global scale. I'm not sure how the public will react to these stories, but after goading from my close friends, I've finally released them.

Section 32: Special Forces Unit was started back in my fifth grade year, and was entitled SECTION 2. Based off of my friends having superpowers, the short story was a good one that I intended to turn into a large novel. Character complications began to arise, and creating suitable powers was becoming harder. People with super strength and super speed and generally normal superpowers began to rub hard on me. I wanted something more.

Next year, the name changed to Section 14 as I went up a grade in my middle school. The concept of the hidden base below the school emerged as one of my classic marks, mostly because it was so funny. The "Elevator of Heck" as I called it idea came about, dropping down a insane amount of stories like a rocket when a character put in a certain button combination.

As the years passed, I finally picked my pen back up in eighth grade and renamed the ongoing superhero project Section 32. That sounded too short, so I then began to call it Section 32: Special Forces Unit. Also that year, I found a linking element for my characters, the idea to use elements of the Earth that will work together.

That year, I made the "Wheel of the Elements", a wheel that had my thirty- two elements on it. It was arranged so opposing elements were on opposite sides, and helpful elements were right next to one another. I still am proud of that wheel.

Also, the concept of Section 32 wearing metal cybernetic armor began. This later became a strong tradition among the Section 32 characters, and they began to change from a rag tag group to a fully-fledged superhero team. But something never clicked about them being "perfect". My friends were silly, uncooperative, and great to be around. I began to incorporate their personalities into my characters more, and slowly but surely, I began to understand how they would act around one another. Section 32 was quickly split apart, because I began to notice that my friends had real attitude problems around one another sometimes. That was a great plot device for me. Characters that were forced to work together but sometimes didn't was great. And, since most of them cracked jokes all the time, the stories began to get funny in an oxymoron kind of way. Section 32 looks quite powerful on the outside, with their metal armors and powerful weapons, but truly they are nothing more than a bunch of teenage comedians, and that's the personality I strive to capture.

Music… Music… I think the music as a weapon idea came about when I created Iris. Having two characters that actually changed roles really changed my story, and it created two new chapters in their history. I'm not going to go into the details yet, but when you see Iris, you can then see why they use music as a weapon.

When I finally moved into the high school at Pottsville, everything clicked. The High School has so many twists and turns, and the nickname "Castle On The Hill"; it was perfect to hide a secret base below it. And with the legends of Pottsville High, and some great people to meet, Section 32 couldn't be located in a better place.

All in all, I'm quite proud of what I have amassed together. Section 32 is, and will always be, my greatest accomplishment.

Author's Notes

The first chapter, "The Coming of PowerCharge" seems disjointed, slow, and generally not like my writing. That was because this part of the story was originally an eighth grade composition I did for English class, it was never intended to be in with the actual stories, but more as a stand alone adventure for Lauren.

The Coming of PowerCharge focuses on the use of the enigmatic silver watch that really doesn't have a history. The watch's functions range from use of transformations to just basic communication. The story also focuses on the metallic suits they wear, and basic transformations. I tried to use it to get a history for Lauren, and to show that not all crystal holders knew that such a powerful artifact struck them.



Also a disclaimer: These stories are based off of the characters of people I know. If you know I write (And because I went around asking everyone permission to use their personalities in eighth grade) you know that the character is probably you. All evil characters, except for Black Rose, are totally fictionous. I made all evil characters up. Black Rose is one of my friend's creations, and he asked if I would include him into my stories to fight Section 32. I accepted.

Copyright Information: Section 32, Section White, the logos of the Members of Section 32, the logos of the Members of Section White, the StarSeekers, the Pottsville Mafia, and all other characters that sound fictionous are the property of Wildfire Industries, and exclusively Delton Wildfire. You may not steal their characters in whole, or in part, in any way. I do not wish to see my characters in someone else's fanfic unless I exclusively express permission. You may e-mail me with any questions, or to ask permission to do a crossover story if you really want to use my characters that badly.

Black Rose is property of Mike Fox. That character is not mine and therefore, I cannot lend out use of the character of Black Rose. Again, do not steal any characters for your own use.

Pottsville High Area School, Nativity BVM High School, The City of Pottsville, Schuylkill Haven, Schuylkill Haven Area High School, Blue Mountain Area High School, Frackville, Ashland, North Schuylkill Area High School, and The Pottsville Area School District are all real places. They are not fictionous. However, the events that take place in these areas, and the people outside of Section 32 are fictionous. Therefore, students of any rivaling school districts of Pottsville and townspeople of these cities are truly fictionous. They are not meant to represent anyone. If you see someone or something that you believe represents you, and you are not in Section 32, trust me, I didn't base it off of you because I've probably never met you.

With that said and done, it's time to get on with the stories.

Welcome to Section 32: Special Forces Unit.
