Chapter 5 released.

I would also like to call attention to The Caprica Times, a fan run Caprica news site that is dedicated through their petition to bringing back caprica for a second season. I invite you to sign the petition to show SyFy that they're wrong about the convictions of us, the fans.

The Writing Process: Chapters 1 and 2
The idea for the story was to create a logical progression of events between Caprica Season 1 and the beginning of the Cylon war. I went through many different ideas about where to start the story from the day after the season 1 finale to directly into the five year fast forward seen in "The Shape of Things to Come". I eventually decided to look towards the ideas from the original producers about where they saw the story going.
Characters
I also had troubles trying to figure out where to take the character of Zoe Graystone but eventually decided that Zoe had decided to embrace her humanity and see herself more as a continuation of the Zoe that was killed in the pilot episode.
Inspiration
Being a Sci-Fi nerd, much of my inspiration came from various other stories. Mostly, many of the ideas came from the first season of Caprica and various opinions about the show including the idea that ressurection technology was a possible continuity error (The Final Five in BSG use such technology to end the First Cylon War) and the no stakes feeling given off by scenes set in v-world. Making such refferences is meant to be a nod towards the fans who followed the first season. I decided early on to do away with ressurection apart from using it to explain Zoe's new robot body. The idea is that the Ha'La'Tha gave up on Daniel's ressurection technology when they saw just how much of a success his Cylons were. Many other Sci-Fi series will be refferenced through use of plot ideas and a few quotes from IRobot to Blade Runner, Doctor Who, and Terminator so watch out for them as they appear.
Editing
As I said, many ideas went through my head. The idea to scrap Ressurection Technology was around since the beginning but how it would happen changed a few times. The original idea was to have Daniel Graystone meet with an ethics commitie that would shut him down but allow Zoe to live out her life. The idea was based on Rise of the Cybermen in Doctor Who where the Cybermen who were people's brains in robot suits were deemed emoral. The idea was quickly changed to reflect Zoe's position against Clarice Willow's virtual heaven in Caprica: Apotheosis in that the self destructive nature of the human race would quickly increase if imortality was achievable at the click of a mouse.
