Roadmap - Blog Posts
RV travel season is upon us. Where are you going this year?
Post #4 - Ready, Set, Go
♫ - What I’m currently listening to.
In the interest of preventing this blog from becoming a place to dump my fanart, I have put together a loose roadmap so I (and you) know what stages are ahead. I will go into more detail in individual posts a little later.
Starting off, I obviously need a story. I have an idea of what I want this first chapter to be, (and when speaking only in terms of the comic, the first chapter is what mainly matters) but it’s the finer details that are still lost on me.
What AU will I use? Will the story be a sequel or a reboot? Should the different resets factor into this fanfic, or should Papyrus be a pedo from his very inception?
For the sake of not complicating matters too much, I will ignore these questions, (bad idea, I know) and instead the above roadmap will only focus on the skeletal structure (heh) of the fanfic. We’re building the foundation of the world, establishing characters in relation to each other, throwing in a bit of foreshadowing for later, and that will be about it. We’ll consider the meat and potatoes as the story develops further, and that will be beyond the comic.
What joy plotting can be.
