New Black Gold - Babel Demise
Some of you may have wondered what this ‘Babel Demise’ stuff is I keep advertising about.
Since all my finished chapters are stuck in editing process, and I don’t want to publish anything without a proper review I thought I’d explain.
I started writing Deus Ex: Human Revolution fanfiction about three years ago under the title New Black Gold, which only tells some story gaps left open by the main narrative of the game. The first two chapters describe Adam’s six months of recuperation before the main game begins (and, sadly, these are the only chapters available for now). Chapter 3 is an interlude I included in the Hengsha arc. Chapter 4 is the conclusion of the game after I chose the Sarif ending.
Unfortunately, I got hit by a major writer’s block back then and only finished NBG last year when the release of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was drawing near.
So far, I haven’t read any of the complementary MD canon, but from what I gathered of Deus Ex: Black Light, the comics and MD itself, I got majorly disappointed by the lack of noteworthy character development. It’s so generic it downright hurts; especially after the brilliant storytelling of HR.
So, I decided to write something better.
Developed as a continuing storyline Babel Demise starts about two months after Panchaea. Adam returned with David to Detroit, and Sarif Industries struggles to survive the Aug Incident with new troubles ahead. I’ll include all the characters I came to love and will give David Sarif a downfall he deserves. Ultimately I will catch up to the MD storyline and try to stick as close to the canon as my writer’s esthetics allow.
So, please bear with me. Two chapters of Babel Demise are already finished, and at some point my editor will keep up the work.
Until then I’ll write on and every now and then indulge myself in some written Jensard fantasies. :3
