con 'verse

When I was working on the CON ‘verse series three years ago, I posted Part 2: Control Theory quickly even though I didn’t really like it. Parts of it felt rushed and weird and my beta was trying to help but it just wasn’t flowing.

Now that I’ve reread it, I like it more than I did then. Sure it could use some beefing up with descriptions, fleshing out, but I like it.

It’s also making me realize that Part 3: Differential Association wasn’t supposed to be next in the series.

Part 4: Symbolic Interactionism fits better following Part 2.

And Part 3: Differential Association needs more things to happen before it can fit into the ‘verse anyway.

I’m editing everything and getting ready to post Symbolic Interactionism, but it’s very long and involved.

I think that’s another reason why I got overwhelmed by the whole series (and life itself). A lot of stuff going on and I usually don’t outline things. I kinda just write notes.

With a ‘verse that’s been in my head since I was 10 years old with well over 20 parts planned and/or written, it’s big.

I’ve gone back and outlined the first 4 parts of the series, and after I post Symbolic Interactionism (part 4 that will actually now be part 3), I’m going to go back and edit some of what’s already posted

* WARNING THAT THERE WILL BE EDITING TO THE ALREADY POSTED TWO PARTS *

I don’t know if switching up the order will confuse readers who were expecting Part 3 to be the summary promised at the end of Part 2, but oh well.

I also kinda wanna change Ruby to Meg. The more the series goes on, the more I’ve found a role that’s perfect for Ruby. And Meg fits the current Ruby role better.
