Enjoy!
Here you go, folks! The epic conclusion (and even more epic author's notes) to Jason's... well, epic story, Of Possible Alternatives!
Enjoy!

Well, one last update for you before I go off to bed, this one presenting you with what is the largest chunk of Of Possible Alternatives, yet is made up of only one of the explored alternatives. Think of it as the equivalent of A Fistful of Yen in Kentucky Fried Movie. The main piece that everything else was built around and / or leading to.
And a very epic piece, as well. I am proud to host this piece of fiction on the Boy Scouts ½ website. I must admit, however, that I couldn't resist tinkering with it a wee bit. Not to say I didn't tinker with any of the previous parts as I was preparing them for inclusion on the website, but with the previous parts it was only the most minor of things. But here, I may have made some slightly more substantial tweaks. Nothing too drastic, it is still mainly what Jason wrote... But I definitely have added my two cents here or there to the narrative. At most, though, I'd maybe claim 5% me with a still substantial 95% belonging to the good Mr. Bertovich. Hopefully he doesn't object to my slight alterations or additions. Without further adieu... Of Possible Alternatives, part Five: Neon Genesis Boy Scouts. Enjoy! (While I would hope people are reading the entirety of Of Possible Futures, I would say that even if you are for some reason skipping the rest of it, you should read this part. This part really is very good, and works well as a stand alone. All you really need going in is the knowledge that is a "What if?" tale, placing Boy Scouts ½ characters into a different setting. Oh, and I suppose a passing knowledge of Neon Genesis Evangelion may also be slightly helpful...) Back probably tomorrow... er, later today... with the final bit of the story and the most extensive author's notes ever to grace this website. Jason's been getting a lot of press lately, eh? Well, I suppose that's what happens when I have some unpublished writing of his that I've been sitting on for a few years... And it also helps make it seem more impressive when I've split what he gave me as one story into six parts.
And on that note, here's the next two parts of Of Possible Alternatives, by Jason Bertovich! Of Possible Alternatives, part Three, covering Quack Experimental Fan-Fic Proctor Saga, Perspectives From the Training Ground of Cursed Springs, and Professor What. Of Possible Alternatives, part Four, covering Matt Atanian vs. The World, Becker's Music Shop, and Girl Scouts ½. Back soon with the rest of Of Possible Futures! I present to you the next part of Jason Bertovich's story, Of Possible Alternatives, in which Kenny and Becker experience The Scout, Kill Bill Hughes, and Encyclopedia Galactica.
Also, the Timeline has been updated to reflect Of Possible Alternatives. Enjoy! Due to circumstances that I shall not go into on this blog, I have been unable to sleep this past night but for most of that time not been directly occupied with things that prevent me from working on my computer. (Man, the birds are chirping! Stupid birds... Suppose that sun thing will be rising soon, eh?)
Anyway, some time ago (Like a few years ago!) Jason Bertovich presented me with a story of epic length he titled Of Possible Alternatives. This story actually seems to span all aspects of The Boy Scouts ½ Universe, drawing from the main series and both of its spin-offs. It did need a specific home, however, and so since the framing device seems to involve Kenny and Becker in Kenny's Lab, I have decided to index the story on the Kenny's Laboratory page. On the story itself, however, you will see the logos for all three series proudly displayed. Remember me mentioning this story's epic length? Well, you're not getting all of it right away. I'm splitting the story into multiple parts, to make it somewhat easier both for readers to digest and for myself to put online. Fortunately, the story is one that lends itself well to this being done to it. So here you go! Enjoy the first part of Of Possible Alternatives by Jason Bertovich! Yes, folks, you read that correctly! If the last story being a Perspectives Prologue wasn't clue enough, the long awaited next story in the Perspectives saga is, in fact... the first story! But not as you all remember it... So please, read and enjoy Perspectives I (v. 2.0): Holyoke Refugees of Employment Hell by Jason Bertovich!
Right on the tail of this website's first NEW new story, another new piece: Not a full story in and of itself, but a prologue to the next... er, first... er, newest series of Jason Bertovich's Perspectives stories: The Definitive Perspective Edition -Prologue-, giving you a taste of what will be coming soon in the Perspectives series.
Enjoy! Also, just a quick note that the Timeline page has been further updated to account for the plans afoot for Perspectives. Yeah, there are maybe one or two minor things, extras from the old website, that have yet to be ported over. And I may get to that eventually. But, to quote Dallas from the film Alien, "Horseshit! We can take off without that." It has been 315 days, exactly 45 weeks, since Boy Scouts ½ was reborn here on Weebly. And well... kids grow up so fast these days, don't they? Sniff, sniff. So... today I re-publish the final story that existed on the old and vanished Boy Scouts ½ Universe website. I give to you Jason Bertovich's Perspectives X: Those Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine, part 1 -- You Are Cordially Invited.... I hope you enjoy it! I had to drive over 500 miles to get this for you! (Well, I didn't have to... Strictly speaking, what was needed for restoration of the story could have been acquired through online communications... But I was planning a visit anyway, and it seems a nice touch to me that I can be typing this blog post while sitting on the couch of a person who has played a big part in the history of Boy Scouts ½, and who has been one of the biggest supporters of seeing it returned to the internet.) Well, guess I need to start doing some writing myself then, huh? But in the meantime... Restoration... Complete!
Three more stories restored for you!
Boy Scouts ½ in Japan, part 2: Welcome to Maison Ikkoku (by yours truly). Boy Scouts ½ in Japan, part 3: In Which Mike and Bill Play Magic, and Sarah Comes to a Terrible Realization (also by yours truly). And finally, Boy Scouts ½ in Japan, part 4: Things to Do in Tokyo When You’re Cursed, Curious, or Independently Wealthy (by Jason Bertovich). Enjoy the above three stories. Well, just one more pre-existing story to restore! What the heck, here's another story: Perspectives IX: Three Girls, a Guy, and a Coffee House. There is one more vintage Perspectives story to go... except...
Well, for this story I only have a raw version as originally presented to me by Jason way back in the day... so it will take more formatting work to get it back online and I may need to wait to get some input from Jason on a few things. Also, while I have Jason's post story notes for it, any notes I undoubtedly had are lost. So this last vintage Perspectives will be coming... but I may jump ahead a wee bit and do some BS½ in Japan first. But this story will be presented no later then the final update of the restoration, and before any truly new Boy Scouts ½ production. Patience, Perspectives fans! |
