#interactive fanwork

This Duke Week, I have created a different kind of fan work- a puzzle challenge to test your knowledge of all things Duke Thomas!

Are you a master puzzle solver like The Signal?

Unmasked Pod is an interactive fanwork.

What does that mean?

That means that, other than this post, every other post going forward is going to be run by the "characters" of the story. This means that you chat directly with the podcast hosts and staff - including Harley Keener, Abby Keener, Gwen Stacey and Eddie Brock.

What is the plot?

The plot! Harley and co host a podcast in a post Accords world. This is an AU within Spider-Man never teamed up with Tony Stark come Civil War to take down Captain America, so his identity is still secret. After a fight in Times Square that leaves the government stating that Spider-Man died, Peter Parker quit wearing the mask for reasons he's not very open about. Follow along with Harley, Abby, Gwen and Eddie as they investigate the identity of Spider-Man and stumble upon a story that goes a lot deeper than they ever expected.

Is this story Parkner?

Yes! The main pairing is intended to be Harley/Peter and I have so many fun ways to integrate it within the story.

Why is this "season 3"?

Simple - I wanted to establish the podcast in the universe as being something people have already paid attention to! The first season was on the Winter Soldier and the second on Hawkeye - two heroes who's identity wasn't hidden and who's history was easy enough to find. It's a fun reference to just how difficult finding info on Spider-Man is going to be for them. These seasons don't ACTUALLY exist. Maybe in the future I'll write some mock up episodes for them, but this isn't their story and because of that we will not be focusing on them.

If we want to contact you, where can we go?

My personal blog can be found over at @prosperdemeter2 😊

In order to get the entire story, what do we need to do?

Well that is entirely up to you! There will be "audio transcripts" dropped for each episode as well as chapters from both Harley and Peter's point of views. Theoretically, you COULD simply follow the audio transcripts or the story on AO3, but there will be certain things missing from the narrative if you do.

What can we do if we have more questions?

Submit them as Asks either here or over at @prosperdemeter2 and I will HAPPILY get back to you.

What do we need to know about each character/this universe?

This is a post Accords world - that means that there will be heroes mentioned that are no longer heroes, including Peter.

Spider-Man never teamed up with Iron Man to take down Captain America - Tony Stark does NOT know who he is. All of Peter's tech is his own.

I have aged up the characters as some of the things they're going to be dealing with are more mature in nature as well as require a more experience hero. Peter is 25 come the story premiere and Harley is 26.
