Oh, boy... I'm getting the itch again · 8:10pm May 20th, 2018
Hey, guys. Well, I've been getting the itch to write Displaced again. I'm sorry, but I've tried, and I've tried, and I've tried to come up with another way for this guy to end up in the Assassinverse, but I simply cannot think of any viable way to get the real deal there. Who is this real deal I'm talking about? Well...
However, this isn't gonna be like every other time I've written something. I'm going to plan the whole damn thing out this time. Every action sequence, every stealth sequence where Alex is impersonating Neighsayer (because I'd bet dollars to donuts that he'd be in the Traditionalists' inner circle) or someone else to get information, every last pony, griffen, or otherwise who becomes part of Alex's Evolved army (because the endgame of the whole thing involves a scene ripped striaght out of Season 2 of Arrow, but with a totally different reason for the mass destruction.) However, unlike Prototype 2, which I personally enjoy, despite its faults, namely what it did to Alex Mercer, Alex is staying the good guy. Well, good guy not so much, but he's still on the Progressives/Equestria's side.
Well, time to get to work! Wish me luck!
That... is actually encouraging. If you plot the whole thing out -roughly, at the very least- before you start writing, you're less likely to run into an "okay, now what?" moment.
