And so it ends....
At the start of this year, I began to write a FNaF Fanfic called FNaF: Extraordinary.
And throughout this whole year I thought that, maybe it wouldn't end, maybe I could keep the story going for just a little longer.
I knew that wouldn't happen.
Originally, I wanted to right the wrongs of the original five nights at Freddy's story/lore with it's first iteration FNaF: Less than ordinary. However, as that version went on I became more and more frustrated with it as it became yet another retelling of a story that is now nearly a decade old.
In short: it just wasn't meeting my expectations, so I rebooted it into a slightly more original take on the Five nights story. Scrapping things like remnant for a magic system.
After I did that, I found myself to much happier with it, loving every part of its creation.
I personally view FNaF as a series of great ideas, lore, and characters (Such as Elizabeth Afton, or Vanessa, or the Mimic) that are never properly established or expanded upon. Left up to interpretation by fans who know about as much of the lore as Scott does.
(That is to say: none at all). This is what I always wanted to do with this reboot... Build upon the characters as much as I could and give them a proper story where things actually related back to one another.
Instead of things just happening for the sake of filling out a lore document that always seems to get ignored or changed by the time the next game or book releases. It was out of this frustration that the first version of the fic was born. And it was out of frustration with that old thing that FNaF Extraordinary was born. Now with pure bliss and satisfaction I return to my word document once more...
Thank you for reading!
