seasonsrpg Everybody's "writing a novel".

[nodevils]

Gabi didn't arrive in Ellipsa with much. Besides some clothes, all she had to her name when she arrived was some writing materials such as pens, pencils, paper and an old, half-broken typewriter. Along with it, she has a box that she keeps tied closed with a small yellow ribbon. Inside the box are her personal writings, a mix of types and handwritten. What follows are those writings and any progress she manages to make on them during her time in Ellipsa.

II. The Paradis Island Operation

[nodevils]

[There seems to be two different versions of this section. One is written as neutrally as possible, describing the events as the happened and little else. It goes through who the Marleyan Warriors are and the plan to infiltrate Paradis Island and recover the Founding Titan. Then it goes into the structure on Paradis Island and the key players there. Then it's just going into the day Wall Maria was broken through and the events that occurred afterwards.

Then, there's a second version of it that goes into more detail about who the people involved in all of those things were. There's more about each of the Marleyan Warriors and what led each of them to become Warriors in the first place, there's more about the people living on Paradis, particularly the Scouts. There's a couple pages about who Marcel was and how he sacrificed himself to save Reiner, there's a couple of pages about Levi's squad. There's a lot more detail about Eren and all of the stuff he goes through. Most of it is neutral, some of it is written almost kind of sympathetically, like his mother's death. The parts where Levi beats the crap out of him are definitely written with some enjoyment.

Both versions are incomplete, the second version covers way less ground than the first.]

Dude, I just don't know. The second version is taking way more time to write and is so much more exhausting, but. I just don't know how I can leave some of this stuff out. It feels like it's less honest to just. Run down everything that happened in order like I'm summarizing a baseball game or something. I'm trying to use this book to tell the true history of what happened and I don't wanna distract from that, but, I dunno, I want people to know that the people in that history were like. Real people who all had their own problems and doubts and stuff going on too, 'cause isn't that kind of the point too? That in the end, all of us were just people?

GUUHHH. Forget it! I'm coming back to this part later!
