Between Now and Then (Discontinued)

Chapter 4: Update

Chapter Text

Hi all, I've decided to shake things up and rework this piece as a Marble Hornets fic with OCs, rather than a crossover fic with Mandela Catalogue.

I'm honestly pretty excited about this - it gives me a lot more leeway to play with character backgrounds, world building, and building more consistency all around. There will be some changes made in this new work - primarily character names and world building - but I will be keeping a number of emotional beats from my original draft.

If you're here primarily for the Marble Hornets side of things - there will be basically no changes. For readers more interested in the Mandela Catalogue characters - although the new OCs do have different names and non-identical backstories, their dynamics will likely be familiar, and they will still be dealing with questions of loss and identity. I won't say they're the same with different names, as they're not. But I have focused on the interpersonal dynamics that originally drew me to the Mandela Catalogue characters, so I hope they'll also appeal to other people who enjoyed those characters as well.

I've already posted the first chapter of the updated version on my account: The Gaps Between Now and Then. I've also been revising and updating the other chapters from this work, and they should be posted pretty soon. 

If you have any questions, whether they be about the rehaul or otherwise, feel free to ask them below!

Notes:

Wow, this work has already been a year in the making and I'm so excited to finally post this. This is my first fic on A03 (not a newcomer, just shy to post my writing), and I have done my best to make it accessible to readers who may have only watched Marble Hornets or only Mandela Catalogue, so hopefully people will enjoy it even if they're not fans/up to date on both pieces of media.

Also, I have never visited the South or the Midwest, much less Alabama and Wisconsin, so please let me know if any details are incorrect for either of the two locations. Apologies in advance for any grievous oversights in this regard, lol. Alternatively, if there are regional details you think are important to include? Tell me about them!

Let me know your thoughts, comments and kudos deeply appreciated <3 Thanks for reading!
