Topic: A Passage
I've been reworking the prologue to "A Passage" by going into Riddick's thoughts and background. This section is based around Butcher Bay at the start of the game. I'm tempted to play the game again to get the entire thing focused in my mind again. Not to mention that there are some great screenshots I could get from the game. Ah... I've got time, yeah?

One thing I wanted to do was to go into Riddick's childhood some. It would be nice if I could remember the timeline I and several others worked out on PlanetSlam.com. I think I remember most of it and with some research I could pull it back together.

What does this have to do with "A passage"? Well for one I'm planning to extend chapters as I repost them. Eventually I'll put the new ones up at Fanfic.net too, if the site lets me. So far this week it hasn't. Grrr...

The prologue is 3700 words. My limit per chapter will be 10,000. Some of my expansions have really pushed that while others have fallen far short. It's not that I want to be excessively wordy or anything but I feel that reading something 'meaty' makes it worth the wait if I cannot update but once a month, or something...

So my goal for the prologue is to combine the Butcher Bay outline / plot with the "Johns' Chase Log" and the "Slam City" re-enactment leading upto the point where Jack enters the story. By doing this I might run over my limit and end up with a pre-first chapter to the version I've already posted. I guess if it makes it a better story then the adjustment is worth it.
