| "S02E14 "A New Life for an Old"" So here it is, finally. The first script of my fanfic-adaptation of the "Superior Spider-Man" storyline into the Marvel's Spider-Man animated series. To recap: So, like, a couple of years ago (ugh!) I stumbled upon that animated series just before it was to start airing its own adaptation of the "Superior Spider-Man" storyline. That gave me the idea to write my own adaptation, and compare it to the work of the professionals. To see how well I did, and to see what I could learn. I haven't watched the IRL adaptation yet—and won't until I'm done with my adaptation— so I have learned only one thing so far, and that is that I am not the kind of writer who can work through outlines and treatments. I'm the kind of writer whose creativity is stimulated by actually writing, not by planning. That's why this project has dragged out so long that it is now just humiliating—I've had to outline and plan, and it's been like walking on my bare knees across broken glass. As for how well I did ... Well, that's for readers to judge. Now, for episode-specific commentary: I actually don't have anything to say about this script, because it was written a very long time ago and filed away. I do remember improvising the first act as one of the very first things I did on this project, but as for the second two acts ... Well, I wrote them, but I don't remember when, and I remember nothing of the process, and the content was completely new to me when I rediscovered it. So I hope it doesn't sound egotistical when I say that ... I liked it. The story pulled me along, and I was constantly wondering what would happen next. I also liked some of Otto's lines, particularly when he started to channel Peter's fighting persona against the security 'bots. |
| The last poll is now closed. In the Free Poll, the choice "Stay with Joshua" beat "Go with Eileen" by two to one. It was much closer behind the scenes, though, with a large GP vote bringing "Eileen" almost to parity with "Joshua." Almost, but not quite: one more vote for "Eileen" would have tied it, but "Joshua" took it by hair at the end. I'll have a chapter written and posted tomorrow. EDIT: Also, new chapters in the Round Robin: * Interactive: "The Warlock and the Maiden" * Public: "The Warlock and the Maiden" |
