Stranger Things: Gotham Shadows

Qidian is a rare novel about Stranger Things, come on 👍👍

The best weird fan I've seen so far gives everyone a happy end😍

This is a rare sight, I like the setting very much, and the author is very grateful.

Does the author generate electricity for love? No contract signed?

About design. Oddly enough, I watched the fourth and fifth seasons and skipped them in fast forward. After watching them, it felt anticlimactic, and it was a pity for a girl like Barbara to exit the show, so I made up some plots myself. Then I thought what about letting Batman handle it? I like this bat so much. He is 190cm tall and has a broken and melancholic temperament. However, after the direct version of the official union, he made up for his mistakes (Superman was resurrected) and assembled the Justice League. I think at this time he is a leader with faith, who will trust his teammates and embrace the team. This is why I chose this version of Wayne to travel to a strange world. (I'm not a DC fan, I've only watched Warner's DC movies.) At that time, I originally wanted to design a time travel directly to the opening of the first season, but why didn't Wayne just sweep across the laboratory and then enter the Upside Down World and kill Vecna ​​directly into the abyss? So after thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason why Wayne didn't do this. And if you do this, then the Boy Scouts, Youth League, and Middle-aged League will not need to interact with them at all, and you can just push the map across the map and go home. So I changed my mind and chose to travel through time in 1979. Then we deduced based on Wayne's character and found that it was impossible to follow the direction of the original series. I felt that many characters would be attracted by Wayne's personality charm and be subtly affected, and Wayne would also actively intervene in some events to change the fate of the characters. Therefore, I continued to discuss the deduction with the AI, and it took more than three months to completely straighten out the entire story. During the actual writing process, I found that I could not completely follow the outline and chapters. The most typical one is Will. I didn't want to reveal Wayne's identity in Volume 2, but when the plot developed to that point, I found that Will should be known, and Wayne never deliberately hid it from the beginning to the end. Therefore, all the chapters about Christmas Gifts were rewritten. With this rewriting, the subsequent plot (in terms of the design of Wayne's identity disclosure) must also be adjusted accordingly. In fact, it's okay to be really lazy (completely follow the original design), but when you find a better design (mood, rhythm or plot), it's hard to convince yourself to ignore it. It was at this time that I discovered that even in this fan world I created, the development of the story is not completely controlled by me. I once saw a post (I don't know if it's true or not), which said that when Tolstoy was writing Anna's death in "Anna Karenina", he lost control of his emotions in the study and cried to his wife that he didn't want Anna to die, but Anna must and could only die here in this way. Of course, I am just a little guy, and I am completely incomparable with these literary masters. But if this little story is true, I think I understand a little bit of this loss of control. About purpose/original intention. I did not write this book for readers, because I originally wrote this book for myself, so the first reader is myself. The whole story must be based on what I can accept and am willing to read. Making money is not the main purpose. What I thought at the time was that I wrote it for myself and read it, and posted it on Qidian. It would be best if I could sign a contract to earn some extra money. Also because I am the first reader, I didn't think about the three golden chapters or cool writing methods. I just want to write this story well, so the entire volume 1 is foreshadowing (which is necessary in my opinion), and the pace in the early stage will seem very slow. But if you look at it from the perspective of the entire book, it should still meet the definition of Shuangwen, but it is relatively slow to gain steam. But fortunately, it has attracted some readers who are similar to me, so I feel quite happy. After failing to pass the preliminary review, cross-examination, and independent application, I thought about it for a while. But when I was a reader, I hated the eunuch so much. I would rather the author left the story unfinished than cut it off directly. This would make the plot neither good nor good, and I was very unhappy watching it. Of course, many choices are based on business and money-making considerations, which is understandable but not acceptable. What I think is that if the first book is played like this, it may form a path dependence. If the grades are not good and the contract is not signed, I will just leave. I can only say that I don't want to do this at the current stage, so this book will definitely be completed; And because it is the first book, the planning is ideal. The design was based on the standard of 4,000 words per chapter, but during the actual revision of the text, I found that some chapters were too tightly plotted to accommodate 4K words; some chapters had too few plot cards, so about 2,000 words would be enough, otherwise it would be a mess. So you will see that the number of words in the beginning chapters of Volume 2 is unstable; Finally. This book will definitely be finished, and there will definitely be a happy ending (if it was a tragedy or a profound proposition, I would not choose a fan opening). Thank you all for your support~! (The writing is a bit messy, I just write whatever comes to mind)

Yes, this book uses AI. There was a comment that I doubted or felt that the novel was written by AI. I never thought about deleting it, but I felt ashamed at one time, so I didn't take the initiative to respond to that comment. But then I think about it, I feel like there is nothing to be ashamed of, because for me, those people who write novels about AI on the Internet have nothing to do with me. I think I write seriously, and I don't use AI to deceive readers (I can't do it even if I want to, haha). Maybe I haven't signed a contract with me, so it doesn't matter. If you sign a contract, you might have to be secretive. I started planning this book in November last year. At that time, I discussed the plot design with Doubao. Later that year, I switched to Claude Code as the main force, with dsv4, qwen, gemini, and Doubao as assistants; It took until March to complete the design of the entire plot, and then used codeX to perfect the details: outline, volume outline, chapter outline, main text, character settings, weapon settings, core plot timeline, etc. Also because it is related to my career (Internet software), I will pay more attention to plot design, character design and behavior, motivation, whether the context of the entire narrative, etc. Is consistent, whether the logic is self-consistent, whether there are bugs, etc., So I am relatively neglectful of writing. The current writing style is definitely not able to meet my needs, but this requires long-term planning. I regard it as a software project and manage development in a project manner: sorting out the plot is demand planning and evaluation; setting set, world view, etc. Are the project background; the outline is the general structure, the chapters and outlines are the detailed interface documents, and the text is the actual deliverable; In order to ensure quality, paid AI is always used. In total, the money spent on the coding plan to write this novel is at least 2,000 upwards (codex uses pro20x, claude will no longer use it because of the company A÷). Many people may think that it is silly to repay money to write a novel, but if you treat it as a hobby investment, you can still enjoy it. For me, good stories are fundamental. I personally have been reading online books since I was in junior high school. The first physical book I read was "Mad God" by Tang San, and the first novel I started reading was "The Legend of the Mad Man". I became really addicted to it because of "Tomb Robbery Notes" by Uncle San. Later I read Chen Dong's "Tomb of the Gods" and "The World of Immortality" and was inspired by its grand narrative. Then I read "Online Games: Melee Mage" on the recommendation of a friend and was fascinated by the strong logic of the plot. I have been reading for 20 years. The outbreak of AI is an opportunity for me. My writing is very poor. I am at the level of a primary school student's journal. I don't know how to write the main text at all. At this stage, AI is still not enough for writing good novels, but I am still very grateful to AI, although the time I spend revising each chapter every day is sometimes similar to or even more than that of people who use ancient methods (1 hour or more). But without AI, people like me who don't know how to write text might not be able to write a novel in their lifetime. AI helped me solve this problem. Although it seems that AI's writing style is not very good, it is definitely better than my own writing. In the early days, I guess it was because of this that I didn't get signed (personal guess), because at that time (and of course now) I had to revise the text of every chapter. However, after I finished writing the first volume, I found that the AI ​​was really troublesome. Some adjectives and modifiers could appear more than 10 times in a chapter (the key point was that I didn't find it at the time or thought there was a problem). Then I started to overhaul it, and subsequent chapters also avoided these problems. And as I write in my spare time, there is basically no possibility of practicing writing skills: at 30+, I am too lazy and have no motivation to continue to improve myself after get off work). With AI, at least I can actually ship goods. Although I don't have good literary talent, I think I have passively developed a certain reading aesthetic since I was 20+ years old. People, sometimes it may be troublesome to solve problems, but it is quite simple to keep challenging AI, keep asking questions to AI, and keep finding faults. Why do I think of writing this? It's because of a whim. Maybe by the time this book is finished, my emotions will be gone and I won't want to talk to you so much. As for the follow-up, Curry is currently planning projects such as Naruto fanfic, Korean variety, American variety, Doomsday + Death Stranding, Sanguinius Heavens (I really like the world view of Warhammer, but I am a cloud hammer, I have only played Space Marine 2, and watched Colonel Dutch's science popularization, so I want to borrow some). I hope readers who support weird fandoms will have the chance to see these works in the future, haha.
