Nobody To See Here...

Captain Kirby 18 Sep 2020 14:58

I hope you all enjoyed the first submission into team Nobody's Winning retcon entry. I'm excited for what's coming next, and I hope you are too!

I'd like to thank Riemann and Nico for critique, and my teammates Rounderhouse, Tufto, and Woedenaz for looking this over as well

As far as I'm aware, there hasn't really been a take on Nobody that leans into the fact that moreso than an interchangable member of a bureaucracy, the real identity-less people are those on the social and economic margins (probably the whole "sharply-dressed man" thing has something to do with this). If this is the direction that this team will be taking it, I am very interested in reading more.

As for the piece itself, it was an enjoyable read and actually nice to look at. Easy +1

This is the second best contest entry (totally no bias) that I've seen so far. I am intrigued as to where this sharply dressed man is going, and as Gaffsey pointed out, the use of socioeconomic marginalisation for Nobody is interesting and, I think, a better take.

Shame I didn't catch all the first/third person typos on my first go around, but what are you gonna do :p

Big fan of this take on Nobody, and I'm getting some cool Cloud Atlas vibes (in the best way!) from the jumps in time.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of your team's stuff!

Always love to see more nobody content, and I really like this take. +1.

Now we can add Homeless Man to nobody's resume, along side an occultist who gets high on cocain then guns down a Foundation staff to steel conceptual weaponry, A member of the O5 council who nukes Foundation sites while beating the shit out of the heads of GOI, and also being the head of basically every GOI that one time lol

Nobody's really just that man in the mirror…

This is really excellent. Super looking forward to the rest of your entries.

^{Votes don't help the author, so I've vowed to always leave a comment with mine, at the very least whenever I rate an article negatively. If you feel the same, help out by leaving critique with more of your votes. Comment follows:}

This is an introduction. I've not really read any Nobody works before, but this one feels like a fresh take on it. It could be exactly the same as before, but that's fine by me. I'm ready to learn more about the mechanics of this new Nobody - but as yet I don't have a plot to follow. The next entry in the series, if it is a series, will have to grab me on its own merit.

First of all, this is very well written! Everything was clear and cleverly portrayed. It was very easy to picture the scenes in my head, word for word, so good job on that. Secondly, I really like this expansion on Nobody! It was really immersive. I am looking forward reading more entries from you.

OK, so let's take the time to check the articles of our ruthless enemies the other teams and frankly, this is probably the most human take of Nobody I've ever seen on the site and with that, the story have an immense amount of charm.

+1.

So fascinating. Leaves you wondering what's going on, in that rarest of ways: the way that makes you eager to read more, rather than feeling like you're in the dark. Top-notch writing and worldbuilding, my goodness you're good at this.
