Perhaps it is important to point out that my mother tongue is definitely not English, so there are bound to be grammatical errors, for which I apologize. In addition, I also suffer from dyslexia so errors may also creep into the writing that way. I am not going to apologize for the latter. That would be as stupid as asking someone condemned to a wheelchair to stand up for the national anthem. You're born with it, and you make the best of it and that's that.
I started writing a story as fan fiction based on the TV series Lucifer titled Antichrist. Fair is fair. While writing, I have run into some problems and difficulties. The situation as it stands now: I finished 1500 pages of the story, and I'm about half, maybe three-quarters, done with my story. During each rereading, I encountered spelling errors and errors in sentence structure, a result of dyslexia. In addition, I have the wretched habit of being something of a perfectionist. Something that started to get on my nerves after about fifty chapters. And then the naive, silly me had the fantastic idea of buying a new spelling program. For perfectionists like me whose native language is not English, the question must be asked: was this program made by an Angel to help humanity or by a Demon with a specific sadistic taste?
After all the reworking, I am returning to my original idea of publishing this story in three parts. The Past, the Present, and the Future. Part two is also ready for publication, and part three is already past the planning stage. So this may be moving forward pretty quickly. Have things changed in the rewriting process? Yes, of course, but nothing huge. Just sentence structure that fits better or a few smaller details adjusted. Nothing that has a big impact on the whole thing.
In my universe, seasons 5 and 6 do not exist. Everything starts after the nightclub debacle with the demons. Certain details for season 4 are also different, and I left out certain minor things altogether. Why did I do that? Because I felt the writers went overboard and missed the mark completely. But that's personal taste, of course. I felt like the writers in seasons 5 and 6 were writing a sitcom about a dysfunctional family rather than a story in which supernatural beings played a major role. Beings that have powers that humans can only dream of. Those powers only came up sideways, as if it was an afterthought: "Oops...our main character is the Devil let's just quickly throw some supernatural stuff into the mix..."
Some will recognize some of this story because it has already appeared in a previous form. However, I was never completely satisfied with the format and kept tinkering with it. This is my last attempt, and if it doesn't work, I'll give up and set the whole thing on fire!
Aaron Sorking once put the following words in the mouth of one of his characters in The West Wing, Sam Seaborn the speechwriter to President Bartlet: "Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal it!"
And in no way do I mean to say that I am a great writer. Far from it. I just want to say that I borrowed bits and pieces from various stories that have appeared left and right on different fan fiction sites. I threw all that into a blender with my original ideas, and what came out has developed over time into this story. I originally had three completely different story lines in mind that unwittingly merged in my brain into one damn long story.
Kind regards,
Just another amateur writer slowly going crazy.
