Collide Gamer Season 1 – Author’s Note

Season 1 – Author’s Note

HELLO!

I have no stupid reference for the start today.

I thank everyone who has been reading Season 1 of my branch. To my readers: Thank you for taking interest in this diocre shitfest, I know my typos are sotis horrible and that I may not be the best at storytelling overall, but a lot of you stick with anyway.

A special shout out goes to the ones of you that decided to join the Discord.

Thanks to DraMr for posting corrections for my typo’s and being overall helpful ^^

Thanks to sasori86 (who now has his own branch) for the s

Thanks to TheHanyou for proofreading my stuff

And finally

Thanks to Kyonchi for keeping my girls safe, may you handle Thana with care.

Of course, my thanks also go to TheDespaxas for creating this story in the first place. Keep up the good work, mate!

With that out of the way let us move on to the Arc and then let us talk about the Season as a whole for a bit.

There were three goals to this arc that I set out to do:

Number 1, Introduce extended I.D. rules. This way I won’t have to deal with any of that in the future, although I might introduce one or two more chanics in the future the groundwork is now made.

Number 2, Evolve the elental girls. For a guy that set-up to build a harem at the start it sure took a long ass ti for John to get one. Welp, now we are 4 girls richer (5 if you count Mono, but she has yet to get a real spotlight).

Number 3 was, of course, the Thana confrontation. John clashing with one of the stronger beings in the Abyss marks the change from John as a noob to John as a pro.

There were a few more things I got done along the way, the Nathalia Side Story and a couple of other chapters extended on how godhood works in my branch. Gaia got her face out there for the first ti, that was a fun bit of sass blasting.

With over one hundred thousand words this Arc was easily the longest so far. A shitload of grinding. I hope I didn’t overstay my welco welco here but I don’t seem to have lost readers, so I think you guys will survive. I skipped so stuff towards the end (naly Mono getting stuff) because It was about fucking ti we finally goet to Thana.

Speaking of her: I am sorry but anybody who thought this would have a happy ending for her is naïve or overly hopeful. The Arc is literally called “Shadow of the day” after the song from Linkin Park. The only outco ever possible was for her to die, because that is how I set up the rules. More about Thana later tho, let’s talk about the season.

Season 1 started off with the prologue where I had no idea where the fuck I would take this story. This is how I usually start off though. I just throw shit at a wall, see what sticks and then I start constructing a narrative around it until my brain does its thing and suddenly I have the whole story planned out. Which was effectively the case once we reached Arc 2, where I first ntioned the Blood of Thana, as from there the event sequence that would lead to Lydia coming around was in motion. Now, of course I also set more things up for the future, like that prophecy of the Horned Rat for example, but most of these are hidden. Wonder if anyone will spot them and combine the dots.

Just because I can: here is so data

(Yes, I do have spreadsheets for a lot of stuff)

…I decided that they had a bit of a point (I, myself, am 1,92m so I am not the best to judge). Therefore, she was shrunk to the second smallest girl in the story (#1 being Sylph).

I had a big consideration for her eyes and teeth, using them to show that she was decidedly inhuman but also perfectly human. The contrast was made with her eyes being like shattered glass and with the two rings inside that give it a slightly chanical feel while her teeth were described as ‘perfect, human teeth’ to show that she is just a “perfect” human. I like details like this.

Now, I do have a picture once again, but I do want to exclaim that this ti Thana was not based on the picture, but the image just happens to fit very much. If you are (like ) more of the type that prefers imaging the characters on their own, know that you don’t have to take the picture as the word of god. Whatever you imagine is just as valid.

I don’t have much more to say, allsay all things considered. You will get another chapter, that being a Q&A for my characters with questions asked on the Discord and then we enter hiatus. How long? Two weeks minimum. I have a few things to change (patching the character sheets for example) and also another sothing you will hear off shortly.

This was the end of the fourth Arc of the Gar “Shadow of the Day” as well of the First Season “Untitled” . I hopeI hope to see you all for the Second Season’s “Rex in Germania” first Arc titled “Old Blood”.

Funatic OUT
