Myriad: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:59, October 10, 2016

Myriad, was one of the last drafts before J.C. McCrae started writing worm. Closest to the final product but with several missing elements and mixed around pieces.

Synopsis

Taylor goes out in her bug costume ready to be a hero. But upon approaching a police barricade to speak with the SRT captain, is immediately labeled a villain and consequently assaulted by Glory Girl. Gets injured.

She comes to at the undersiders hideout, having been saved by the same group that was robbing the bank. Is introduced to her new teamates in turn. eventually taken home by Amara who covers for her largely the same way she and grue covered for taylor after Bakuda's bombing spree.

Tayor meets with Amara at Winslow and faces down another attempt to recruit her to the Undersiders. Taylor goes to ards HQ to try and join them but descoveres a dark secret and decides to leave.

Decides to join the undersders in full afterward, shares the events of getting her power over lunch. Taylor and Amara start to eat lunch together. They get into a discussion about their powers and how it alters their perceptions.

Then they hear the endbringer sirens

+Oh, man, did I ever write a lot of drafts of Worm, covering a lot of bases.  Oh man, do they not feel right, rereading them.  This is going to feel really redundant, but hey.  I’ve alluded to this before, but I started off trying to emulate other serials, and I was writing too little (600-900 word entries), and it really hurts the flow.  I was still finding a voice and an identity for characters at this point.  Eight or nine drafts followed this over the months, as I searched for those voices, tried to figure out where to start my story, and struggled to find my stride.  Then I started Worm.-->
