Commentary
for June 19, 2021:
Fun fact: This was actually
the first scene I wrote in the script to Chapter 11, but I decided
later that it could use something more, which is why I added the
cold open on Avalice, which will become relevant again in a few
pages. But the fallout of President Rosko’s death is something I’d
been planning for years, from even long before I decided to include
Sally and the Freedom Fighters in Eon’s World. You can read
more about what led to that
here.
What’s changed from the original plans is the details. When I first
wrote the script to Chapters 8, 10, and 12, they were one massive
Chapter 8, 72 pages long. I had no intention of looking in on events
on Earth again until after that chapter concluded, but during the
process of drawing Chapter 8, I became quite overwhelmed. It was a
lot of work, it was going to take a long time, and I just couldn’t
stay focused on it; so I decided to split it into three separate
chapters, with other stories sandwiched in between, starting with
Chapter 9. And
much like Chapter 9, Eon was supposed to be directly involved in the
events of this chapter in my original plans. He would return to
Earth to find himself accused of murdering President Rosko, putting
the President of the Terran Union, a personal friend, into a
terrible predicament. But since Eon’s not back from his mission into
deep space yet, he’s not here to defend himself or answer any
questions.
But that’s probably the only part of this chapter that I had any
firm plans about years ahead of time. The rest is stuff I’ve had
vague ideas about, but only really solidified in the last two or
three years, and much of it only really became possible because of
decisions I made in 2018. (Once again, I’d refer you to the
commentaries to page 9.10.) |
