FANFIC VLOG: SPARROW, A BLACK PHONE REWRITE
Hello, wonderful strangers, very glad to know you
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
When I started publishing here on Tumblr, I started off with a huge (and I mean, huge) fanfiction project about The Black Phone (2022), but things eventually went a little out of hand: too many characters, too much lore and storylines... but especially, the more I wrote, the more distant it seemed from what I wanted. So let's start over, step by step.
This is actually just the first part of my project, which is a total rewrite of the movie, and it's called "Sparrow": first part is inspired by a fancomic by Bamboocarbon Ver 2.0 (you can find them here on Tumblr), and it revolves around Finney Blake's friendship with Robin Arellano (the boy having a crush on him...).
Basically I started writing this because they were the first characters I ever shipped in my life...
I named it Wonderwall after Oasis' song, which I think really fits the story I want to tell and the characters themselves, especially Finney, hence why I even used the same song inside the story itself. Every following part will be named after a song as well, and it's gonna delve much deeper in Finney and Gwen's past and powers, besides featuring an exceptional guest: miss Collins from Carrie (1976).
Also I'm currently planning a different ending for Terrence, the a**hole himself...
I don't know how long this will take, but I feel positive. Much more positive than I was as I was writing the previous version of this story... please feel free to let me know what you think, both positive and negative feedbacks/comments are very much appreciated. Hope you enjoy this, of course!
Edit: In the end, I actually managed to write down and publish the whole retelling I had in mind, and I feel pretty proud about it! Of all the stories I ever wrote, this one really resonated with me in a way I really wasn't expecting, but I'm SO glad it did.
