I'm Done With Nerd Culture · 4:44am Jan 19th, 2018
I think it's time I let things take their natural course and look ahead. And it's been something that I've been toying with for a while.
Over the production of Swindlers and NRFH, I became obsessed with pleasing the crowd and refusing to take outlandish ideas because of preconceived notions that demeaned such behavior as a whole. During Swindlers, I was obsessed with trying to line things up while making it lore-friendly to those who haven't touched new Star Wars canon. And I think I had the right idea for that. But for now? It won't appear as much in future chapters. Everything will still feel like its own thing. But like the Last Jedi, I want to branch out and do a deconstruction of the Swindler/Scoundrel trope that made characters like Han Solo who they are. I had the idea to write my characters like Han Solo, but then I realized how effective they were if I modeled them after someone like the Guardians of the Galaxy. It's something that I want to do for a while and it might be a while before I can come up with incorporating that aspect of the story. If worse comes to worse, a rewrite of the entire thing is not exactly out of the question.
As for No Room for Heroes? After seeing The Last Jedi, I want to take it in a new direction, giving the three main characters I introduced a reason to carry on the legacy of the old heroes. While leading the charge of the new age of heroes. NRFH initially went through a bunch of rewrites in its early conceptual days (My earlier views understand what I mean, it was basic amateur writing with sub-par dialogue and headache inducing plot-points with me fiddling with a keyboard and simultaneously throwing it to a wall and see what I come up with). I think it's apparent story will continue. But Swindlers comes first.
Overall? Expect to see the tones and plots of the story to shift into something more. Both stories are not exactly canceled, but after I figure things out and learn to be better than what I was when I first started out. The better this will be.
