Hey Orson-ites… you know who you are. Sorry for the delay this week. I’ve got a couple legitimate excuses. First, I was traveling a lot in the past couple of days, performing shows on the road. Also, this chapter is actually two different options of a chapter. They’re both fiction written by the character Orson. We’ve got a short clip from a screenplay called “Reboot Days” and the prologue to a story called “MouseFucker”.
The reason for the delay is that I couldn’t decide which one to pursue. I’ve finally decided to put it to a vote. What do you think? It’s kind of like Choose Your Own Adventure, but don’t get too excited, this probably won’t happen much. Or, hell, maybe it’ll happen all the time!
Below is Chapter 10. On the full novel page I’ve compiled chapters 1 – 10 into one bundle for your convenience.
voting is tough, I liked them both! I guess as the story is going so far, I’d vote for the first one since it seems more in keeping with the character as we’ve gotten to know him so far. Though depending on how he develops I can see how he’d be tempted to try-on other personalities
I’m going to agree with Greta here. Story #1 is much closer to what I’ve come to establish as “Orson” in my mind. Fantastical thoughts of heroism during frequent moments of escapism while daydreaming.
Story #2 is a wonderful piece of literature but I felt totally disconnected from the story as I know it so far.
You’re both probably right. “Mouse Fucker” wasn’t originally in “Orson” it was/is a separate piece, but I didn’t think it could stand on it’s own. But, it doesn’t fit here either.
