ideas are just coming
more slowly
i'm definitely not going to just put out WHATEVER for the sake of putting something out
okay so if you've been following my writing (cough)
you will remember that the original order was
A Thing (2013)
Another Thing (2014)
Nothing (2006)
The Next Big Thing (2015)
but on the 75s, i'm going like
One Thing Leads to Another (2013)
It's Just One Thing After Another (2014)
Everything's Going to be All Right (2015)
so you may be asking "why"
well, the problem with a nothing midquel is just
it's too hard
extremely stunted cast of characters (basically, i'd be limited to you know, all of US, kathy, amiee :3, gwendolyn, michelle, candice, claire, and any new characters)
missions would have to be done in sets of three again (while this did result in some 10/10s that wouldn't have happened otherwise, it was incredibly difficult)
it's just not a very good idea
so, Nothing Lasts Forever will probably never happen
consider it the 'lost episode' of the a thing series
so basically:
Everything's Going to be All Right will allow me a near-full cast (with only Sophia, Sara, and Natalie missing out of the A-listers and planned A-listers)
big question no one's asking:
what happened to erin during It's Just One Thing After Another
that's when she was time travelling back to 2006 to be in Nothing
mission 011: king jakey is doing the equivilent of throwing foetuses at human protestors
missions 013 and 014 were originally in the opposite order but i fixed it
mission 016: "persecute" instead of "prosecute" was intentional
mission 020: now i know what you're thinking "if a robert truckdriver clone wrote the letter shouldn't it be Written Like This"
well he bought a store-made greeting card with the message pre-written
missions 020 and 022 and 032 were written well before they were able to be slotted into the story
mission 026: i had to add in deputy orange after mission 032 because i'd hit a brick wall where i was out of mission-givers
mission 027: subscribe to lootcrate using the promo code ADVENTURE
mission 039: piper pronounces it "fill-ett migg-non"
mission 045 was written before 044; 045 was never meant to be 044 though
missions 046 and 047 were inserted in after 048 and 049
missions 050/051/052 were originally one mission but it sucked as one mission so i expanded it to make it suck slightly less
the finale missions were written during the span of 042/043/045/044/048/049/046 (in that order)
FUN FACT:
i FUCKED UP the numbering REALLY BAD
and i didn't catch it until i was posting it
basically, mission 039 was listed as 037
so from there everything went in order 037-059, then the ending was slapped on
but i ended up with two extra missions because i misnumbered 039 as 037
luckily, i had two that could just be slipped out without ruining anything at all
they'll reappear next time probably
the ending:
okay so
jakey has a terrible memory
or, rather, he gets so focussed on a single thing that he can't stop to think about his options
like, he can just spin around really fast and fly on his own, he doesn't need amber
also: HE HAS A TIME MACHINE HE CAN GET THE DECREE BEFORE THE SHOW EVEN HAPPENS
but you know
whatever
