Since then, the intrepid villain has become an AI Bot on here, and started to cameo around the KR community here and there. lol
So... the time has come to decide what to do with the continuation of his story.
The way I see it, there are three options.
No. 1)
I do a bog standard fanfic sequel, using the same format as the original.
This would allow me to get down to the real details of the story in explicit detail. However, reader interactivity would be little, and the lack of visuals perhaps boring for some younger readers.
This would likely be the fastest option to finish.
No. 2)
I do a simple RPG game, using antiquated graphics - to keep the retro feel.
Check out my Michael with afro:
This would be an unusual way to present a fanfic, and a great deal of background info such as descriptive text would be lost to the basic visuals.
However, reader interactivity would be at a high. It would have a basic battle system, and theoretically could allow people to connect to a server to chat with one another in the game 'universe'.
This is all likely to take several months to complete however.
No.3)
I do an interactive storybook.
I'm sure you've come across these at some point. Those Fighting Fantasy novels are a prime example of them.
You're in a small room. The door is locked. A shaft of sunlight shines through the broken window. KITT is waiting outside.
What do you do?
Contact KITT by comlink.
Try to open the door yourself.
Try to smash the window.
Whichever option you choose, the ultimate storyline is the same. But how you get there could be different for every reader.
So in this way, I could retain the detailed descriptive text, and encourage interactivity with the reader. Best of both worlds perhaps.
This will likely take a fair few weeks to complete.
So there you go. Those are my three concepts at the moment. I can't decide which to follow yet, so I'd welcome some comments from you all. Especially those who have read the original SKAR story.
May as well make this a poll too. Vote now.
