The Hunter and the Moon In Depth

Just as a first little thing that I want to share, is that I don't really have a computer right now. My laptop can't really stay on for more than twenty minutes (Because it overheats that easily), and the screen only works on it about half the time. I did have a work around for the screen in that I could hook it up to my tv with an hdmi cord, but the tv made everything on screen blurry. So for right now, I'm sharing my husbands' computer (Read: Using it while he's at work). I'll still try to update on a regular schedule, but it's been a little more difficult. :/

Now, onto the chapter. There's a few different ideas for parts that had just sort of filtered into this one. The first one that I had thought of was Stephen and Diana saving the Wayne family, like how it's happened at the end of Glass Roses, but the difference was that when they returned, they'd find that Gotham had come under the regime of a dictator, and teamed up with a now older Bruce Wayne as a freedom fighter named the Night Hunter. (This was slightly based on part of 'The Savage Time' from Justice League.)

I also wanted to include some supernatural stuff, but I didn't have any ideas at the time of how I could do that, and while I write The Space Between, I try to have a balance. If I have something that's overly sci-fi, I'll usually counter it with fantasy or supernatural nearby. (I haven't had much that could be considered sci-fi, but I don't ever just want them going through fantasy dimension after fantasy dimension all in a row. That's why parts like Honor and Prophecy, a part that has Hellboy and witches and a Griffon, is nowhere near anything else that's pure fantasy related, like Round Table for instance.)

I also had the name 'The Hunter and the Moon', which I really liked and I was saving for a bit later to do a Diana-centric part on. 

When I put all of these things together, it just sort of clicked, if you know what I mean. It was like it was all meant to work as one solid thing. After that, Barbara just came naturally, as did Clark and Lois being in there. And then the twist at the end came naturally as well.

In short, I'm very proud of this chapter. I think this is the best part in the Space Between that I've ever written, and I hope that everyone else enjoyed it too. :)
