Revolutions U stories

[enterprise812]

Since there seems to be no one place to talk to all the authors or comment on several stories in the universe, I decided to try a topic here.

The first thing I wanted to do was to say that you all have created a very real, too real or overly grim, place and do a great job with it. I wish that there was a guide to show which chapters should be read in which order to get the time line in context. It seems that some of the things may not be in perfect order in a few of the chapters of some of the stories. That being said, the fact that there is any order at all is amazing, considering how much you have to keep track of.

One thing that I MUST say is that if Adam and Bucky are truly dead, I will protest and scream at someone. There have been way too many people killed already and I know you want real, but there is such a thing as taking it too far. Yes I understand killing off characters, but killing off hybrids and main characters seems to be a bit much, since there are very few hybrids to begin with and with main characters you may kill off someone that some readers may be invested in. You run the risk of keeping folks from connecting to your characters at all.

I am glad to see that characters from geek squad, unit and Metamorphosis are starting to combine in some of the stories, as I have thought that having many of them in the same place would truly be a major help for some time now.

You all are doing an amazing job on these stories and I appreciate all the hard work you do!!!

Enterprise,

Thank you so much for the kind words.

We had attempted to make a guide in which order to read but found that it was purely subjective. There really isn't a logical order except I always recommend you start with the Title story Revolutions as that sets the tone and back ground, after that you can bounce around anywhere you want.

As for Bucky and Adam, I am sorry this was done not only to show the impact of war and the harshness of reality, this incident will be used later to push certain characters and challenge their resolve.

We have already received a few tongue lashing and the only thing I can say is this type of event is the hardest for an author to write and we do not enjoy it any more than you enjoy reading it.

Thanks,

I would have to say, that keep it all in some semblance of order is a big task.  For the authors it takes a lot of work and constant communications between us.  But and it's a big but, it is also the editors who work behind the scenes to help keep everything straight for us.  With content editors and continuity editor and editor editors and English professor editors, and punctuation experts, etc, going over every chapter of every story with a fine tooth comb, it would be well nigh impossible to keep the stories straight.  Even with all of that, sometimes a last minute rewrite is needed to keep it in line with the rest of the stories.  We work hard along with the editors to make sure that one author doesn't write something that messes up another's story.

A big part is lots of communications in the background helps us to make it work.

I'm glad you enjoy them and as Ken said you are not the first who has given us a tongue lashing for things like that.
