New Fan-Fic

I've begun writing an alternative to my original story. When I originally wrote the first Caprica story, I only had the summarization of the proposed Caprica Season 2 plot points and there was much I didn't understand or took out of context. The biggest change was the fact that I didn't understand the "Uncanny Valley" reference in The Caprica Times' interview with Kevin Murphy which was meant to be a major plot point of why it took three years to create the first "Skin Job" body for Zoe. All in all, the original story, upon re-reading, came across as heavy handed, derivative, and, at times, just plain naive. I decided that there were quite a few things that didn't make sense in my original story as well, including motivations for characters and the fact that Zoe had more than enough time to explain to Tamara what was going on in "Here be Dragons" making it unrealistic for Tamara to become the main antagonist. You will see the return of some characters from my first story; including Lucifer (though not in the same format). So I invite you to join me for a tale that will hopefully capture your imaginations in the same way as Caprica season one. The new story can be found here http://www.wattpad.com/story/1744036-caprica-the-shape-of-things-to-come-a-caprica-fan

As  a side note, I'd like to make a shout out to fellow Caprica fan, Ryan lawrence, who is currently in the process of writing his own Caprica Fan-Fiction in the form of the "Caprica Comic" and, through his fan site, the Caprica Times, is the main inspiration for my own stories. Please show your support for his story and the Caprica Times by reading his comic and signing the petition to bring back Caprica for a full second season. THe comic can be found at http://www.capricacomic.com/the-comic/ and the petition at http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/caprica-for-season-2/sign.html
