Thank you so much for reading this, guys. My first story on was kind of a step for me since I usually never publish the things I write. I thought I should say a couple of words about the story after the fact and talk about projects for the future in case anyone wants to follow my works more.
When I went to see Big Hero 6, I knew it was a comic first and I knew that it was dramatically different from the contents of the children's adaptation. However, I absolutely adored the characters of the film and their whimsical diversity. I also delighted in forgetting, at times, that the film was intended for children. There were a million concepts I had in mind, just sitting in the theater, that made me cringe at the way it would work out. I saw a children's movie and came out with ideas about how to make the film grittier and more disturbingly accurate to the dangers of unexperimented technologies that was the overarching theme of the film.
And so Tess was born.
Something else I had to do, for my own sick pleasure, was kill the characters I liked the most. A kind of catharsis was the reward for the gory descriptions of horrid demises for the characters and, sad to say, there were so many more that I wanted to kill for that same catharsis.
However, if there was one thing I wanted to do above all, it was reduce the story in my head from the thirteen chapters it was going to be to be ten chapters at a maximum. Several sequences in the story allude to the fact that there was more going on behind the primary story of ALONE 1, including the new professor that replaces Callaghan knowing some details about the unregulated growth of Tess as well as the public opinion of Big Hero 6 as a vigilante group.
There will probably be a follow-up lemon or two (an unofficial epilogue piece or three) just to supplement the lemons I avoided writing for the sake of chapter length.
In the future, I want to work on a Spider-Man OC in a story called "Blackwall" which will be more detailed in all aspects and less limited as far as chapter length or number. I also want to publish a story based on the game The Binding of Isaac that explains where the other playable characters (like Eve, Judas, etc.) come from within the context of the game's story; again, it will be just as juicy and rotten. I will announce other projects in future author's notes.
Thank you again for reading!
