Super Vice President Village Monster! Special Edition Chapter 3

The third chapter of the series, which is incredibly short, came a month and a day later. It features a surprise twist in the series, which you'll just have to read to find out.

Chapter 2 left me in an awkward position, as I felt that the ending left me almost nowhere to go with the story. I started bringing paper with me wherever I went, jotting down ideas for the future of the series. However, nothing good nor funny came for chapter 3 (I believe that's when I came up with the idea for the ending however). After a few weeks, something finally came to me and I wrote the entire chapter on looseleaf paper. The idea was both funny and unexpected as well as gave me an incredible amount of leiway when I would write chapter 4. After showing my friends, who laughed heartily, I put it down with the intention of typing it and uploading it that day. However, time eluded me and it took me a little while longer before I finally finished typing it out.

Super Vice President Village Monster! Special Edition Chapter 2

The second chapter of the wacky twelve part story Super Vice President Village Monster! Special Edition was written the day after the first. No one had read the first chapter, but the sheer adrenaline of having published work made me compelled to write this chapter. It follows our friends as they head to Little Ceasers and have to fight the giant Bagel Bite Monster, meeting the newest character in their gang: Mary Berry!

When I first wrote this chapter, I had the Bagel Bite Monster handing Richie a book and making fun of his inability to read it. However, after showing a few of my friends, they pretty much all stated that the line felt harsh and poking fun at blind people. I agreed, so I edited out the line and replaced it with the one in the current story.

Super Vice President Village Monster! Special Edition Chapter 1

The first piece of work I'd like to share is the first story I ever uploaded (and what I consider to be my first piece of published work): Super Vice President Village Monster! Special Edition Chapter 1. It's hard to believe it's been online for almost two years! It's a twelve chapter story about two men named Jim and Richie who work for a grocery store, but it gets over taken by angry ninja lawyers who send them to the Compton store. They then decide to start an adventure to overthrow them.

The story is incredibly crazy and nonsensical at times. You never quite know what's going to happen next. It's similar in style to Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo in that way. For example, in the first chapter, Jim picks up an elephant and throws it at one of the angry ninja lawyers, pulling it from seemingly nowhere. It's written to be funny and catch you off guard, which at times can make the story seem pointless, but it still manages to make its prescense known. The first chapter pretty much sets up the storyline for the later adventures and let's you meet the two heroes, showing how the angry ninja laweyrs take over their store and our heroes taking their stand.

I still remember how it came to be. I was talking to a friend, who also was a writer, about writing a story. I told him I was thinking about writing a story about random guys, making up weird things for them to do, which made him laugh. Every time I told him something else, he would laugh even harder. A short while later, I hurt my back and was stuck at home. Bored, I decided to write the story I had talked about and surprise him with it. I wrote the first chapter in probably a half an hour. After reading it several times, I thought to myself "Why not publish this and see what people think?" So I logged onto Fictionpress and went through the process of uploading it. However, after reading the TOS, I found that several parts of the story violated it. At first, the angry ninja lawyers were the super saiyan angry ninja lawyers and the "company band" was supposed to be Judas Priest, but I had to change them in order to upload it. The story also had a preface, but the preface violated the TOS as well.

Anyways, if you're interested in reading the first chapter, visit: http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2483440/1/Super_Vice_President_Village_Monster. Thanks again for reading.

Introduction

Hello, my name is Jerry Martin and welcome to my blog! I'm engaged to my incredible fianceƩ, whom I proposed to on christmas day and is my life. I'm also a writer and have been for the last, oh, 15 years I'd say, although my first major writing accomplishment I credit to 10 years ago. I've published a lot of my work online, the links to which you can find on the right hand side. I'm also a very avid gamer and have been doing so since my neighbors foolishly let me play their atari 2600 back in the 80s.

I'll be using this blog mainly to do two things: post about my writings as well as post about video games. I'll be planning on writing about each individual story, poem, walkthrough or video I post online, explaining things you may not know as well as posting links or embedding them into the post. I'll hope to talk about things that are currently in production as well. I'll also be using it to talk about video games, posting my reviews and thoughts about each game and maybe strategies or interesting back notes about them. I may occasionally post something unrelated to the two, such as life stories or nostalgia, maybe talk about other things, but mostly writing and games.

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I'll be enjoying writing it and feel free to let me know how you're enjoying it, as well as your thoughts on any of my work or any comments overall.
