11264067 That's basically the deal. Without giving too much away (or saying things to you that I have to cut or change in the final,) their power has been defanged and they've scattered to the four winds. I'm tentatively planning to touch base with all of them eventually and flesh more of that out.
Actually I’m getting George Orwell’s 1984 vibes from this fanfic which is actually a good thing for me! Also George Orwell made another book named Animal Farm: A fairy story. Animal Farm is about animals revolting against their abusive owners but overtime the pigs who lead the revolution become corrupt but Snowball is killed by Napoleon during an election, so the same pig Napoleon takes over the farm and leads them to a dictatorship… There’s no happy ending for both but spoiler: Animal farm ends with the pigs becoming the humans and basically the animals can’t tell the pigs from the human! 1984 is something I won’t spoil much because it’s London but it’s a country under dictatorship named Oceania. If you want a summary of 1984, I don’t think I could give one and you’ll know why but people on YouTube did explain 1984 but I recommend GradeSavior or Crash Course. Both are actually based on The Soviet Union and actually George Orwell actually lived during the Soviet Union and actually didn’t support Stalin and his ideas for reasons including Stalin’s policies of starving Ukrainian people! (Not getting political but I’m a history buff!) Yet I may had explained Animal Farm poorly but GradeSavior and A.J. Hoge explains it better…
Sorry if I’m talking too much but I like this story, I hope this world gets expanded with creativity and maybe we could see a bad ending if possible but it’s your choice author!
11264414 Oh yeah. I have the Ralph Steadman illustrated Animal Farm. (Planning on featuring Sweet Apple Acres as a Soviet style "That's a real nice farm you got there," farm collective.) Surprisingly though, still haven't read 1984. When I click that "alternate universe" tag, I kind of feel obligated to go hog wild but I pretty much never make it as divergent as this one.
It's not all fleshed out yet but in my head it's a weird mix of glitzy mafia / seedy big city noir BUT autocratic dystopia. Fascist oligarchy government BUT employing Stalinist control tactics. The iron fist rule of Sombra BUT with autonomy to make capital and even have some leisure time. I can't choose a side, so I guess I'm doing both.
As for the ending, I definitely already have a solid idea I'm leaning toward, which is pretty rare for me in this stage of the game. I do love bad endings and I really think the genre calls for it but these longer, hard fought stories tend to make me softer on the characters in the end so we'll see...
Second chapter just as strong as the first one but a lot of emotions in this one

Now comes the hard part: Pacing and buildup.
