Ok.
My fanfictions need some work. I'm taking a break and putting Dan Vs The Mafia on hold.
Dan Vs The Factory.........is a good fic, don't get me wrong, but it has bad tonal whiplash. Not a dealbreaker, but a story like that SHOULD NOT be the first one in the series. Granted, it also shouldn't come too late, since then all the serious stuff is too packed together, but.....
Dan Vs Coupons. The original plan for the sequel to Dan Vs The Factory, which got delayed and was sitting in the "some time after story 7" vault until now.
It's going to be written next, and it's going to be retroactively made into the first chapter. It'll be.........close to Dan Vs Cooking tone wise, though maybe with ONE extra serious scene thrown in to help taper it in. (Most of my stories will trend between Dan Vs Cooking levels on the low end and Dan Vs The Motel levels on the high end of seriousness. The exception are Elise centric Azinder based ones......which won't happen often, next one won't be till story 11. THOSE will be like Dan Vs The Factory)
It'll also allow for alot of foreshadowing to be thrown in. Mobsters, I could cameo the hookers, I could show a Drango Smeary ad, hell, Dan could swerve past drunk driver Antonio Daza shortly before he ruins a good mans hard work to save the world.
So yeah. The next chapter will be, in fact, the new FIRST STORY, and it'll be more tonally light in line with Dan Vs Cooking.
After that, I plan to improve the prose in the original three, make it good prose. As well, I'll flesh out a few moments, try to weaken some tonal whiplash issues, and most importantly, flesh out the Chris arc I was attempting that wasn't flowing very well.
Once that's done(April?) I'll start work on Dan Vs The Mafia Part 1.....or Dan Vs The Biker....or just Dan Vs The Mafia, well, whatever I decide to call it, along with it's sequel....Dan Vs The Mafia Part 2 AND/OR Dan Vs The Bratva, still unsure on the name.
