Well, that we can't go on with a long War story when there are only few of us writing, it's a fact. More over, there are at last two new persons (Dev Em and T5, and the returning Kristogar) that would join us if the story would be more simpler.
So, I'm for ending the War story soon. I would glady do it, closing ALL the loose ends and coming to term with all the various profecies scattered around. AND, having a clean slab to start writing over.
But first, I would hear from Gooz what does he thinks. After all, this is his story.
What I'm not sure is how we should begin the new universe. In a Crisis fashion, where all that went before was still existing, minus contraddicting parts, or with a true new beginnings, I mean, before there was no TOMB, MBL and anything, the Earth was just the same as our, and now heroes are beginning to appears?
I’m confortable with both the takes. But, throwing away three years of fun fiction seems a waste, and not right in respect to all the writers that have done the TOMBL Universe, and that have chosen to stop to write it, like Kathoek, Captain Carrot, Indestructible Man, Franta, Jona’s Whale, and countless others.
I must admit that I’m for preserving the past. My characters are essentialy made by all the things that had to endure in the past, and throwing away the past would cancel them.
For those of you that are tired of their character, just create something new. But, I totally agree on this, we have to go beyond the past, and built (built, not simply find) a new universe.
So, what I’m asking to all of you, is: after the end of the War storyline, whose end I can bring in less than a week, what should we have?
a) A universe where MBL and TOMB has never existed before,
b) A universe where all that was in the past still exists, but Promethean City, Thunder City, Mandelovia are destroyed, there are no more a Courts of Light and a Circles of Darkness, and we concentrates on new stuff and not continually referencing to the past?
A few minutes later...
I'm back at my keyboard, after having ruminated my words and Pro's ones for some time.
Why don't we start completely from scratch WITHOUT wiping out the past? I mean, we have Hyperboards! If we are three or four writers on the WAr story, while the others are tired and would start something new, why to wait for the end of the story?
Whatever the end will be for the War storyline, we can start something new. It could be the beginning of the new universe, or just an Elseworld story without a crowd of people that don't post anymore (like the other Elseworld that we begun at Athanon).
So, now I'm going to post a "New beginning". I have no absolutely idea what the story will be, no plot, nothing. Only my character.
Ah, being a complete new Universe, no AAS, MBS, MBL, MLE, TOMB, Warriors and such have ever existed. Superheroes are a new thing, a thing of the 21th century.
In a few day, I will also continue the WAR story.
