Final Project Report
After much agonizing, I decided to keep the layout of my project the way it was originally. This was a Writing for Internet class, after all. I didn't want to spend an undue amount of time on the layout and not get a chance to work on the story itself. Plus all the changes I made just wound up looking stupid. I'm not too annoyed, though. It's readable, and I think it encourages the viewer to focus on the prose.
I added a character list, at the suggestion of my beta testers, as well as just did some general editing as far as the text went, plus cleared up some spelling errors. I also cleaned up my FAQ pages, making them shorter and more helpful at the suggestion of Dr. Jerz. I'm really happy with the finished product.
So, what is the finished product? I hate talking about my own writing, so I'll keep this short.
Shaundie is a story set in the year 2100, and it follows the misadventures of a sixteen year-old clone of a pop star after her "mother" dies and leaves her with no money...and no legal rights. She moves in with her aunt, for lack of anywhere better to go, and deals with things like virtual realities, oppressed cyborgs, and insane computer hackers who enjoy extreme hoverboarding on their days off until her lawyer finally gets back to her.
When you're reading, you can follow the main character's story, or the stories of the three other side characters. Admittedly, there aren't very many pages for the side characters because I was only able to write the first half of the story, but they still exist. As an additional helpful thingy, each page is labeled with the date and time. Pay attention to them if you get lost. The story is not in chronological order.
Okay. Enough babbling. Here we are. Presentation day. If I haven't terrified you yet, check it out.
