Short Commentary

Having posted another chapter of Dark Conflict, I thought I'd give a few more of my thoughts on my fiction works.

It's my site and I'll do what I want, damn you.

Dark Conflict
Dark Conflict started off pretty much as a dream I had about Izzy (from Digimon Season 01) having an adoptive brother- his parents said something about them having lost a child of their own, and I thought I could create this brother character and have it that his soul was locked in the Digital World. I never got round to writing it in the end, though.

Some time later, at the arrival of Digimon 02 in the UK, I started wondering about 'what would happen if a Digimon were to DNA Digivolve with a person. I thought it was a fantastic idea, and I found out about a week later that they'd thought of that in Tamers. Damn them.

Anyway, then the story developed as Worlds Collide and I thought it was pretty good. It went through some minor rewrites, but nothing major changed until I tried writing its sequel chapters. I got to about 9 before giving up. I couldn't finish the story well enough for my liking.

Worlds Collide made it up on one site, although I can't remember its name anymore. I don't really need to, seeing as the site went down years ago. While looking for another host I came across theOtaku.com and hence OB, whereupon I joined up to get an Otakumon.

I got so thoroughly pissed off with WC that I decided to try rewriting it with the help form my sister Dulcie. After continuing with that for a few weeks, an idea struck me. I'm not too sure from where it did or what inspired it, but I'm glad it did.

So Worlds Collide became Dark Conflict, and Dark Conflict was again revised to become the gem it is now: you can read it here. It's only got another three, perhaps four chapters to it and then it'll be finished.

Surprisingly, DC means more to me than Enter the Net does. Not that I'm any lesspleased with how ETN turned out- the amount it's been appreciated is more than I ever expected, and I'm truely grateful that everyone likes it so much. but DC's been with me for years. It's always been a part of my history on OB, and I hope it always will be. I hope to put it in ff.net one day. Probably next week, I should imagine.

OtakuBoards: Enter the Net
Originally entitled OtakuBoards: The Series, it pretty much sprang from the interesting daydreams (heh, don't be rude) I had involving the OB crew. Call me sad, but I used to enjoy imagining everyone in odd scenarios. As an actual project it was intended as a gift for James (well, one storyline in particular that still exists will be, if I can get it done in time), but I was too lazy to get started until a few weeks ago. I can't remember what sparked that off either, but I just started.

I think this is certainly my most successful piece of work to date, as well as the newest ^_^ There won't be huge amounts of chapters, but the ones that will be there should be good. Originally there were going to be more serious ones, but a comedy/parody's somewhat easier to write- in the same way Jenna's Year of the Otaku didn't exactly work some of the time, I didn't want to risk portraying people in the wrong light. In parody, I can highlight the idiosyncrasies that everyone knows about and likes already, which makes it that much more familiar and likeable. Read it here (although I suppose most people that come here already have, heh).

I'm pleased with both of my major works so far ^_^ They've had a decent reception, and I hope shall be enjoyed by all who read them.
