Share something interesting about your story, its characters or its world that will expand upon it but, preferably, not spoil anything about it. Something more obscure perhaps.
Okay.
Well, I already posted this in the Discord channel but for the benefit of our usual readers:
Back when 2018 Small Writing Contest I submitted Beyond Today as my entry. But did you know that, had the contest been two weeks later, the plot would have been entirely redone? Some days after the Contest I watched an episode of
Wakfu that threw an interesting twist into the idea of "go meet a deity" and I would have totally adapted some elements of the episode, resulting in a side story with much more Gesta involvement and a cliffhanger ending where it is not made clear if Dalvin would have made it out alive from his meeting with Dialga as it would have been a far less amicable reunion.
Yes, I know, good thing that didn't happen or we would have missed out on the
precious ending.
As for something interesting regarding my story, I'd probably throw out a certain fun fact about Seliph. Conceptually when I started this story, Seliph was supposed to die within the first ten chapters of this fic. This is even in writing in older drafts of the story.
Seliph was supposed to die
letting precious Seliph die
Man what were you
thinking, lol. Good thing THAT did not happen!
The Sigia region that Stairway is set in was originally something I created for a fan game project I was involved in. I decided to look back on it and bring it to life and flex my worldbuilding muscles with it again for my fic. I wanted to differentiate my story further from it's basis and I wanted to give readers somewhere new and exciting to explore.
Well sign me in in the "want to see results of worldbuilding" camp, flex your muscles well, IMO you have pretty good material there.
Also to close since my opening fact was technically a repeat, here's something new, interesting, obscure, not spoilery about another of my stories: when I wrote young!Silver having a Nidoran as a partner in
Overlord, part of the idea behind it was that if I ever got to write more about the canon characters in the Giovanni family tree, I would like to make the events of
Legend of Thunder (the Raikou anime special) canon to my verse, and there Silver cameos with a Nidoking. Now, that still hasn't happened, but here's to hope.
So, what else have y'all got?
