I finished the story previously known as 'Untitled Superhero Story'.  It was going slowly for a couple weeks after my last update, but really fast after I got this netbook.

I named it "The I in Evil" for many reasons that made sense to me at the time.

For the rewrite, I'm changing the names of the superhero and the supervillain.  Always do at least a web search to make sure the names you're using aren't taken.

I'm also going to do a better job fleshing out life in the lair.  I'm going to work on a floor plan for the lair before the next draft, and I want to go into what all these people who can't leave do with their lives.

Also, there's consistency problems.  Early on, Green Skull makes a reference to having a website and he never mentions it again.  Why not?  Originally, I wanted Green Skull to be obsessed with small misconceptions and assumptions people made about him, so he had a web site like Obama's where he refutes all these rumors about him, such as people thinking Green Skull is a Muslim.  It seemed like a funny preoccupation for a mass murderer to have, but later it felt too kooky for the tone I wanted, so the web site never gets mentioned again.

So I've got things like that to follow up on, and I always decide to make bigger changes later on.  I'm not thrilled with the ending, either.
