Making a DC origin storyyy

Im like really sad rn. Also I may or may not be making a origin story for the Knitter. Its on Ao3. Im trying to be human and create, because that is what our souls crave; to be remembered just a little longer through words or pictures also art credit goes to fernacular

It feels weird to post about one thing so many times. I swear I'm not trying to hound y'all I just kinda want to spread this a little bit. I want the inspiration, whenever I see the knitter come on my Pinterest page I feel guilty that I haven't worked on the story. But then I would see kudos on my work. And that is what got me going to do this. And to make the 2nd chapter. So yeah. Anyways for anyone seeing this next chapter out soon. Also edits will be made to the 'first' chapter. I just noticed some mistakes that will be fixed. :)

Hi

So hey. Umm I've come over here to say that I've started to write a story about the Knitter on Ao3. I was scrolling through Pinterest one day and I saw the post of it. I've seen the post before, I knew the story, but I wanted to know more. So I researched Tumblr's First (?) Anti-hero.

From what I could find (the Knitter was created back in like 2012 please don't blame me) there was no origin story for this anti hero.

Which was weird to me, yk? People had made fanart of this character, villains and sidekicks. Someone even wrote and drew a short comic on how Purl and Knitter met. People have cosplayed and made his creatures in real life with yarn. But nowhere, that I could find, an origin story; no quick fanfic, no comic or webcomic, no talk from the og artist or from the Knitter himself about the origins. There was nothing.

[Well this is from what I could find, if there is something out there I would gladly love to see it, its just that I spent hours combing through the knitter tag to try to find an origin story, I really wanted to read it, but I couldn't find one.]

So in a sudden idea and a very impulsive move, I decided to make Knitter his origin story.

Why did I decide to do that? I have no idea. I can barely write and I have never written a story like this before. But I did it,

Sort of.

The first chapter is out so is the 'author's note' but that was awhile ago, and now I'm trying to continue the story. I've just been a little tired lately.

So if anyone actually read through this or sees it here is
