Includes the Original Multiverse Ending
The creativity of Abigail K.C. Sterling gave birth to Alistair Strange, the titular hero destined to save his not only his own fictional universe from an ultimate evil, but save Casey's life as well. Her series of Young Adult novels topped the bestseller lists. The screams and adulations of her legion of fans, called Strangers, made her book signings harken back to the 1960's British Invasion. Hollywood made billions adapting her novels for the silver screen. She lived the life every aspiring novelist dreams of living. Then she vanished... like a fart in a whirlwind... becoming a recluse.
But the Strangers did not give up hope that there would yet again be another "Casey For Christmas," yet the years stretched towards a decade without her delivering a fifth novel in the series. Then her publisher did the impossible... the unthinkable... they published another author's Alistair Strange novel without her permission. Plucked from the obscurity of the seedy fan-fiction underbelly, Alex K.C. Silver would be destined to save the literary universe from the ultimate evil: Casey's reclusivity.
Little do the Strangers realize that those of Team Dracarys (those loyal to Casey) and Team Griffindico (those who prefer Alex) would choose sides in fight on blogs, message boards, and social media in an all-out Fandom Civil War!
Readers of novels love to throw themselves into books about a variety of glamorous professions so that they can vicariously live through them.
- Police procedurals champion the homicide detectives, the crime-scene investigators, the vice-squad, etc.
- Legal thrillers document the prosecution or the defense of sensational court-room battles.
- Medical thrillers excite readers with diseases, operations, and plagues.
Has there ever been a novel written about the writing of a novel? Has a novelist ever been the protagonist of a novel? What kind of plot would suit the novelist as protagonist? What conflict could there be in the writing of a novel? What suspense would keep the reader on the seat of their pants? Could a novel be written that educates the reader on the steps of writing a novel? Robert Dwight Brown sought the answers to these questions and more in Alistair Strange and the Fan-Friction.
ROBERT DWIGHT BROWN is the author of allonymously (yes, its a real word) written classic-fiction, Shakespearean plays, and even a sequel to the Holy Bible itself. He has enjoyed writing the books that other authors did not write themselves. Now, he chooses not to write in the name of Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, Orson Welles, or God Himself, but in his own name and in his own voice, except that name and voice is a pseudonym: Abigail K.C. Sterling.
[Publisher- Please note that the first 231 pages are the same in all three of Alistair Strange and the Fan-Fiction: The War of the Words and Alistair Strange and the Fan-Fiction: Make Love, Not War and Alistair Strange and the Fan-Fiction: The Invisible Man. The endings, however, are quite different!]
