About a month ago I got inspired to write a superhero character. Actually two. My original idea was what if Aela and Loria were superheroes. I worked on the idea, and with a little help from folks here, January and Avery have become fully-fleshed people in their own right. Ones whom I am really loving to write. I learned a long time ago that when it comes writing, I need to strike when the iron is hot. So I am putting Seven Reimagined on hold for the moment, and concentrating on Stormcrow and Gadget. I will finish Seven, have no worries on that. There is only one third of the story left to go. Like with the Seven thread, I am going to use this post for general info and a collection of resources. I'll start posting the actual stories with the next post. Since these stories are set in the contemporary world, I am taking advantage of reality for once, by setting the stories here in Metro Detroit. Almost all the locations in the upcoming stories are real. You can actually use Google Earth to follow along. A few places are fictional, in that they are from other cities, and transplanted here to The D. Timeline March 24 = The Conjurer summons an Abyssal during the Nain Rouge Parade. it is not anchored, and easily banished May 4 and 5 (Saturday and Sunday) = Stormcrow Rising May 5 = The Conjurer summons an Abyssal during Cinco De Mayo, using elemental symbols to anchor it, making it immune from banishment May 14 and 15 (Tuesday and Wednesday) = Stormcrow Recycled May 25 = The Conjurer summons an Abyssal during Technofest, anchoring it with an animal sacrifice May 25 and 26 (Saturday and Sunday) = Stormcrow Burning May 27th = Memorial Day. May 27 - June 1 (Monday -Saturday) = Stormcrow Pride [Ferndale Pride on Saturday] June 1 = The Conjurer summons an Abyssal during Ferndale Pride, anchoring it with a human sacrifice June 1 - 9 = Crystal Death [Motor City Pride] June 1 = Chad overdoes on Crystal Death at Leland City Club. June 3 = first Crow Tales, featuring Frankenstein June 8 = second Crow Tales, featuring This Spell For Hire. January stops the Death Dealer. Blood Raven humiliates Nazis at Motor City Pride June 9 = Nazis on Crystal Death attack Motor City Pride June 11 = January records interview with WNN. June 13 = January quits working at the dojo, starts working on Artemis Argent with Rus June 14 = January's interview is aired in its entirety, as well as in print and on WNN's website. It generates massive waves of both support and backlash against her. The same night she faces off against Gola at Eloise.
