Take out excessive stupid jokes and innuendo.


If I did that, my entire process would be "Write post. Delete post. Write post. Delete post."

I just never post. I make empty promises, instead. Fewer things to edit that way. It's a trustworthy process.

If you never post you never worry about your posts. A solid plan with no weaknesses.

That was always my go to play in the last few games, absolutely foolproof. Sometimes I even managed to stay on the roster.

He's dead, for us, but, uh. We can have him die after.

Thoughts/Notes on Shining Knight: Arc 1 - Piety

- The titles of each arc was supposed to be in reference to the Five Knightly Virtues. Initial title themes included either the parts of a sword, various christian iconography related to baptism/faith or roman numeral crap.

- Some thought was given to mixing the origins of Shining Knight and the Black Knight but was discarded extremely early before any development could take place.

- There was a lot of conflict initially about whether I would keep the backstory of whether Shining Knight being magically transported to the present ala Samurai Jack or having been cursed with immortality after the Fall of Camelot. I blame a late night watching of the Old Guard for pushing the immortality angle and the CW show for having Sir Justin being present as a janitor for the homelessness inspiration.

- Arthur Blackwood was initially planned as a potential villain/mini-antagonist for this arc before I scrapped in favor of a bildungsroman/introspective character piece rather than a typical inimical relationship of good triumphing against evil. The Order of St Dumas was also under consideration but was discarded to save potentially for future arcs.

- Stonehenge was briefly considered as a site in Piety 1.5 instead of the Cornwall Lake where Arthur would have to reenact the Sword in the Stone.

- The Spectre was supposed to be there instead of the Gurt Hound.

- Briefly considered implications that the other members of the Round Table survived and were in the same straits as Justin but would remove the impact of Justin being the last survivor and would raise suspension of disbelief that somehow, Justin didn't know his brothers in arms were alive for a millennia.

- The biggest change by far in terms of the writing process was the ending of the arc. Justin was initially supposed to get a vision of Excalibur and misinterpret the words spoken by his illusory self, believing that Excalibur was the only thing that could permanently remove his immortality by killing himself. It was pretty bleak and would result in the later arcs (which I am currently writing and planning) revolving around Justin embarking on a death quest to redeem himself through suicide via Excalibur.

- Ending was rewritten multiple times. Initial location was a morgue instead of a lake and Justin was supposed to submit himself to M15 willingly of his own choice.

Call me a senior citizen, because I have a hard time getting it up.

[Insert excuses here]; new goal is tomorrow after I return from work. I'm beyond the deadline at this point, so I should technically be moved to inactive. I already know what the contents of the post will be, I've had that planned out since the start, but I've found it more difficult than anticipated to carve out a solid chunk of time to type it out and edit. The latter is what takes up the majority of the required time. I do have the beginning of the post already completed; it's the expositionary bits that need to be worked on.

Anyway, just giving an update on my failures and repeated false promises. Still intend on being a part of this and getting a post up ASAP.

Yaaaaaaay, Batman 5. Praise be to consistency! My secret is not caring if it's good or not and only caring if it's done or not.

I've also updated my sheet in the Character's tab - linking all my posts thus far, as I'm not doing any of that fancy 'previous' 'next' etc etc stuff some of you posh toffs are up to, plus making it less egregious to scroll past and adding the previously shared timeline to the sheet for quick reference.

The hardest part of finishing up the editing of my post was deciding which red suited Wanda and which for Magneto.

Either way, pretty sure I've caught the spelling errors as well. Serves me right for writing 2k+ words on a phone.
