《Phase 0: siVisPride》(META) An Update and A Thank You
Advertisement
Hey guys. Unfornately, there won't be a chapter this week--and yeah, what a shitty place to leave you all, LMAO. Head's not in it, been recently downcast--mainly due to the work.
But don't worry! This is going to loop around to being a thing of celebration.
Because 7 or so years ago tomorrow (Friday), I wrote the first ever draft of siVisPride. Had a terrible but similair name of civicPride (yeah, this story could've sounded more stupid), but yeah. September 24th, 2014... Literally a different time compared to now. At least for me.
So sitting here now and having a segment of a story nearly over... Is surreal. This whole journey has been fucking surreal to me, more so than the job. Was kinda crushed at misreading the webserial landscape and you guys still gave your love towards a somewhat botched story anyways. And for that--just, thanks man. Thanks a lot. I don't care if you're a few, you all mean a lot to me.
But yeah, let's circle around to that first sentence there, about the story nearly being over...
Episode 14 will be a bit trippy in nature that won't reveal itself until later, but this will be the last regular episode. After that, we'll go straight into the finale, and end everything sweet with a coda. Literally.
After that, I'll be taking a week or so off to prepare for not only the various writathons, but the next segment of this story. We all need a fresh start and you're gonna get it. So excited to show you all what I've been working towards.
But yeah, that's the state of the story so far. Thanks again for being with it.

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?
