Text of the page (random words):
es like double dragon mutant nation x men robocop and more as far as movies went i have always watched older flicks from the early 90s or before even classic horror with bela lugosi vincent price and alfred hitchcock and 70s and 80s gory near pornographic horror films and that s when i began to realize that the realm of morgue needed to be revamped it needed to reflect these personal pleasures of mine and hopefully i thought turn others on to these same pleasures my love for classics and retro entertainment began to fuel my disdain for contemporary entertainment industries including movies music and even books the realm of morgue drastically changed but it became something that i knew was going to be even more impacting than before the old morgue was like an electric skinning knife but the new morgue was like an over powered chainsaw at full throttle gaps that had been m missing were suddenly filled and things that i had never thought about were being fleshed out to add more substance to the world and then the world itself grew into an entire universe morgue has become such a strange chimera of a beast that i have felt overwhelmed at some stages of it s development for inspiration i have searched for other stories and books that deals with a similar world but i have yet to find one i won t presume that this world is so unique it has not been done before though in all actuality i can t find anything that is an exact match this can be viewed as a good thing it s an entirely original universe but on the other hand it could be too original that it won t ever make an impact yet this is perfectly acceptable with me because i do not intend to write for the masses or appeal to a large audience thus i feel more liberties in what i can do and what i don t have to necessarily do while there are many fictional universes in existence that do feature things similar to blackened westerns there are still none that fit it perfectly take the wild wild west or adventures of brisco country jr for instance both depict a typical american wild west setting with anachronistic technology and strong elements of science fiction similar to morgue but both are light hearted sometimes comical in story and characters while morgue is darker and more serious joe r lansdale s dead in the west is a weird west about a small western town that is cursed by a vengeful indian s spirit and plagued by the living dead though it does have the wild west setting with supernatural themes like morgue it relies more on horror than science fiction and technology dc comic s jonah hex and scalphunter take the western genre into near superhero territory jonah hex has been known to do battle with some rather gruesome foes leaving behind trails of blood and gore the hex series relies heavily on wild west themes and characteristics but with some supernatural and fantastical attributes thrown in after all is said and done though i think the post revamped morgue is an excellent playground for my creative tendencies and i am hoping that it will attract a small audience when final drafts are completed leave a comment serial fiction writing posted in essays journals with tags essay on june 18 2010 by deanrwinters serial fiction writing a thesis the serial fiction is based on the continuing stories with related character settings themes or other aspects that link all the stories together in buffy the x men and the twilight zone there are all interconnected elements which tie the stories together in the first two examples the link is within characters and setting in the latter example the interconnected element is the theme and concept in the first example buffy the continuity is established by the characters settings and common events ex vampire hunting school life romantic relationships in the x men the series is connected by character and setting but also by continuing plot threads creating a more direct link between the episodes ex a battle began in issue x may continue into issue y and issue z before being completely resolved and in the twilight zone the connection is not with characters and or setting but with a reoccurring theme ex the concept of the twilight zone and strange unnatural events further analysis on these interconnected elements in a moment but for the purpose of this article i am only concerned about the first two examples the buffy and x men theory on serial fiction these two series are based primarily on character and setting and to a degree theme the most important components to a serial universe is the characters and setting these two elements must be established as interesting alluring and pose a continuous sense of curiosity that causes the audience to stay hooked the character and setting must remain fresh inventive and resonate with mystery if the audience begins to predict the nature of the series or isn t attracted to the hooks and characters then the series will fail joe edkin describes the three key elements of a series as family unit the secret and memory to which i will briefly cover below but first the series should not only have enjoyable character and setting but also engrossing plots sub plots and also arcs for both characters and plot threads family unit is the group of main characters that the series is essentially about which can include friends co workers or blood related family the secret is the mysterious and unknown elements that either the reader is not privy to or the characters are unaware of but that the reader knows these secrets create mystery and suspense that keep the reader interested in wanting to know what happens next memory is the basic premise to any series which is related heavily to the continuity within the serial story memory plays both an important role for the characters and the reader for example if the character encounters someone or experiences an important event in one issue then they would remember that person or event in later issues and so will the audience if they witnessed the original encounter this is true unless other factors are involved such as mind wiping or other devices are used to erase memory of past events but this factor should be established so that the audience is aware of it more about continuity and the analysis of buffy and the x men continuity related closely to the memory factor is the essential element that creates cohesion between the episodes linking them with one another and creating an overall plot arc that remains similar throughout the series for example in buffy the vampire slayer there are several continuing plots the most obvious of these is the premise that buffy is a chosen vampire slayer thus hunting vampires and other creatures throughout the series another element however is the ongoing relationship between the characters and character arcs that show gradual change and development to think of this is simple terms in a general fiction series we are introduced to the main character s and see how they become connected to other characters buffy finding and making friends and enemies and in the following episodes the friendship or rivalry continues sometimes changing in subtle or dramatic ways with buffy however the sub plots and most episodes are not directly linked and are essentially completely stand alone stories if you had not seen the first season or two you could still watch an episode and pick up on the story and rules of the fictional world still there are reoccurring major plots that are either present in every episode or at least hinted at regarding the x men series though some of the sub plots will carry on for several issues which is commonplace in the comic world in the world of non comic and non graphic novel writing though this doesn t work as well the scripts for a comic are greatly condensed and for the most part the graphic panels tell the story whereas in the exclusively written world images and senses must be provoked by relying entirely on prose that is not to say that it cannot be done and in today s high tech world it can be accomplished much easier than 10 15 years ago with the evolution of the internet especially blogs and webzines the serial story has found a wider audience in this past such written serials were typical to newspapers and pulp magazines to paraphrase joe edkin every comic is going to be someone s first experience so the secret is to make each episode a self contained story with the additiona of subtle memories to past episodes this creates the continuity within the story the degree of this connectivity varies between series but for the sake of this thesis let s assume that the connections are as so that within a 10 issue story someone can pick up issue 4 or issue 6 and completely understand the plot however it might be difficult to pick up issue 8 9 and 10 without having read the others this is where serialized stories becomes difficult at least in the sense of marketing the idea however is that through the first few issues a respectable readership is formed and also for anyone that arrives in media res will feel inclined to read the back issues with this theory in mind i could propose that anyone who discovers the series during issues 8 10 would seek out the previous issues in order to answer their questions concerning the concluding plot arc also based on this theory of readership cult each issues that is published will be followed by the fans for the fans to have access to each issue though would mean having the issues freely available to them on line this would mean they can read each issue for free and follow the plot without having to spend any money in order to do so as such this would mean that the series needs to appear in either a webzine a blog or other free access location the problem this presents for webzine and third party publication outside my personal website is that it could be difficult to sell a story which requires previous knowledge of the characters setting and plots there are a few possible solutions to this dilemma that i have contemplated thus far one is the reliance on the readership cult theory using this as an advertising strategy could work in aiding the publication of the series this presents a double edged sword though first a readership must be acquired which means stories must be published somewhere this had led me to give thought to a couple solutions unique to this problem the first few issues can be published on my personal website blog and hoping i can interest people into reading the series presenting these early establishing issues in an attractive and high quality format obviously is also an idea the second solution to this double edged problem is making the first few issues have a lax continuity essentially making each a complete stand alone story that can serve as the start of the series after these first few issues are published assuming this builds up a readership then the following stories can expand upon the overall continuity and implement more memory aspects to reference these earlier events the second solution would involve having a single webzine publish the issues so that the readers of that publication all have the opportunity to read the series in one location this in my opinion would be no different than having the series published just like a comic series it would have a permanent scheduled release and the series can retain a better connectivity at the moment i plan on having ten issues of the deadslinger series after these ten issues are completed i will consider whether or not to continue the series into a volume two create a spin off or put the series to rest hopefully it won t come to this if there is a publisher willing to take this project i could easily prove them with the first volume to be published during their scheduled rounds and i have also given though to a couple other ideas including dividing volume one s ten issues into 4 5 issues so that the magazine would only need to publish the first few issues and the second collection could be considered after or i could find a new magazine for those another idea was to have volume one divided placing half on my personal website and finding a publisher for the other half still remains the greatest problem of acquiring that initial readership without a fanbase of any size the series will flop and issues 8 10 won t even make an impression or make any sense so i have devised a clever plan in hopes of alleviating this problem just a bit the origins story at the moment considered issue one is technically a novellete length concept this story features of course the origins of the main character and a clear presentation into the
