Infinity War and FanFiction
Apr. 28th, 2018 10:26 pmOriginally I had thought that I would wait to watch Avengers: Infinity War to write any further fanfiction. I thought I would have more of an arsenal and I was thinking it would be fun to try to be semi canon compliant.
If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll probably understand why I’m feeling a little off balance. The movie didn’t really end. I mean it did, but it’s definitely a “part 1” kind of movie so it’s not like the end is really a resolution. Not that with the Phases of Marvel that the end of any movie is a RESOLUTION in the strictest sense of the word. You always know there will be more and with superhero movies, I don’t believe anyone is ever really totally dead.
My point is that because of the overwhelming nature of Thanos and the infinity gauntlet and his whole situation makes fanficing the situation daunting to say the least. Which means either taking on a huge project, magic-wanding and/or fast forwarding, writing pre-Infinity War, or going AU.
With the Avengers table, I don’t know if the original intention was for it to be just the movies or if it was okay to use comic book situations but I took it as I could do whatever I wanted and pull from whatever material I wanted. So I guess my other option would be to use comic book timelines/plots/character development and that could work. I still have like 43 word prompts in the table to go and I don’t want to stop working on those prompts for a year and a week while I wait on the as of yet unnamed “part 2” to come out.
I’ll have to keep working on these things. *Le Sigh* Good luck out there everyone.
