So, as you know, for the past month or so now to help annotate Sonichu into something a little more manageable, I've been giving way too much thought and care into Sonichu canon and its many many plot holes, spotty characterization and various other storytelling failures. I've also been reading Tom Stoppard's absurdist play Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead, which for those of you who don't know is a retelling of Hamlet from the perspective of two minor characters that were supposedly in the background, just out of frame, for much of the action in the story they weren't present for in the original story. So I thought "I could do this for Sonichu and fill in all those nagging plot holes!"
So meet Nadine Rosechu. She's a Ghost/Electric type Rosechu, an enemy of the state in CWCville who's currently living outside of town, who was an integral figure in the story of Sonichu but due to her activities with traitorous groups such as Team Rocket she's kind of been unpersoned in CWCville. But it's been almost ten years and she's decided to come forward with her story. The novella is written in an epistolary style, the bulk of it being a letter from Nadine to Chris, plus some official CWCville city documents, transcripts of phone/online conversations, newspaper clippings and the like. (I'd also like to formally apologize for the sorry state of my handwriting, by the way). In her letter Nadine calls Chris out for his Orwellian retcons of her and her posse out of his comic and some of his other propaganda that weaseled its way into the comic. (Plus I'm filling in some little details like some characters's real names.) We're going to see more of the dark underbelly of CWCville and flesh out the universe a little.
Later on I want to focus on some characters that don't get a lot of attention from other writers too. I want to see Jerkief get back into the dating game after his divorce.
This won't be taking the place of my reboot of The Annotated Sonichu, it's just a little side project. Think of it as a companion piece to The Annotated Sonichu. Do you guys like it?

Edit 11/1/18 - I'm still working on GitM but I've moved official updates on it over to the main Taffy's Annotated Sonichu thread to more thoroughly tie it to my main project.
