Tim, the Teenage MC

About Blackie, _The Book_, and more:
----------------------------------------
For those who have wondered, no, I am not Blackie. I am simply an admirer of
his fine work - _The Book_. I started writing this story intending it to
co-exist inside _The Book_'s universe using the general concepts Blackie
invented. I also was committed to NOT 'rewrite' _The Book_'s universe. I just
wanted to play around in it and have some fun.
But after writing probably the first five chapters, I realized that even though
I hadn't conflicted with it, I had added a lot of material which Blackie hadn't
even touched. Like empathic abilities being completely separate from telepathic
abilities. So at that time I decided to remove any conclusive references (which
turned out to only be naming the Cabal in the very first chapter) just so I
don't unintentionally step on Blackie's toes some how.
In my original plans, I didn't want to use any characters from _The Book_, just
the familiar objects (ie the coins) and the mechanics of how telepathy worked
(ie the symbols).
In other words, I wanted to stay inside _The Book_'s universe without altering
it's landscape in any way, and most importantly not to include any explanations
for the events that later took place in _The Book_. When I realized I couldn't
do that without changing my evolving concepts for my story, a parallel universe
was born, one that doesn't have to go by its parent's rules.
Mostly I did this in case Blackie ever does come back and finish it. He
apparently was a college student at the time he wrote _The Book_. The comments
he made at the last two parts of _The Book_ made it sound as if he was getting
pretty busy with other things in life, and his motivation to finish _The Book_
appeared to be suffering. I just hope he is alive and well, and maybe someday
finish _The Book_, with or with out the sex. He left behind a mystery that I
would love to read the conclusion to.
After writing a considerable portion of chapter 11, I have reconsidered my
decision concerning whether Tim, the Teenage MC exsists in _The Book_'s
universe. I feel that the plans I have made and the parts I have already
written still follow the basic structure Blackie created. I have altered the
landscape by adding on to that structure, but I hope I have done so without
disturbing the original vision. If a person can read _The Book_ after reading
Tim and isn't troubled with conflictions between them, I feel they should be
considered in the same universe, and that is what I am now striving for.
Blackie's story _The Book_ has a very strong plot and good story line, and in my
opinion his writing is better than mine. The problem is, he never finished it.
It just stops in the middle of a great story, no hints of what is to come or how
Bob will deal with the threat of "The Institute."
Even though it leaves you hanging, I still recommend you read _The Book_ because
it's so good. So check it out at http://www.mcstories.com/Book/
About Tim, the Teenage MC:
--------------------------
I started writing about Tim in February 1997, but developed most of the first
eight or so chapters in May/June 1997. I originally posted Chapters I-VIII for
the very first time on July 10th, 1997 at approximately 12:05 am. I didn't post
anything before then because I was reworking it to a new structure. If I had
kept the original structure, Tim would have run out of things to do before the
tenth grade.
Under the new structure, everything takes place over a longer time period, which
is based upon my own highschool years (class of '89). I'm 26 now and still in
college (I worked for a while before deciding that I definitely wanted more out
of life than working as a movie theatre manager.)
If I do complete this story in whole which it looks like I will, the conclusion
will take place in 1992, three years after my/Tim's graduation. If you figure
_The Book_ took place when Blackie wrote it in 1993, the result is that all
events in my story occur before Bob discovered the book in the crawl space.
Well, the very last chapter I intend to write would be a "what happened to" kind
of thing that would include a brief description of Tim's life from 1992 to the
present. It probably would not be more than a single part though, and almost
certainly would not have any sexual content in it.
With that said, the remaining chapters will take place during the highschool
years. My life as a teen was nothing like Tim's. Just the surroundings and
stuff are from my own highschool experiences, and as Blackie said in the
beginning of The Book's fifth part:
"As occasionally mentioned, the characters in this story are entirely
fictional, and any resemblance to anyone living, dead or otherwise rumored to
exist is entirely the result of coincidence, and a wild imagination. No one I
know is the least bit like anyone I'd write about, well almost no one. Okay,
maybe a few, but it'd be hard to prove, even in private. Come to think of it,
who are these people anyway?"
On a side note, I'd like to point out something that I think is a strong
indicator that I'm not Blackie... Blackie never wrote a single line involving
male to male sex (that I know of). He was straight, where I'm just a little
bent. :)
About the Male/Male Sex In Rass's work
--------------------------------------
I consider the mm stuff just.. youth experimentation, I guess. Something I've
never done, and had no intention of doing back then, but now it seems like it
would have been okay in the erotic sense. For some reason I find the thought of
male teens getting it on terribly arousing, but I do not find men attractive at
all. I have fantasized about teen boys to the point of where my morals were the
only thing keeping me from doing something very wrong (I'm talking
non-consensual here), so the male homosexual aspect of the story is my own form
of therapy, contemplating what's right and wrong within the story.
Since starting writing Tim, I have resolved my problems by seeing that I am not
a teen anymore, and therefore do not fit the role for performing the actions I
had fantazised about. I have said in the past I was trying to work myself away
from the male-teen gay stuff, but now that I have worked out the confliction on
the subject, I have decided to allow myself to include it. I still intend to
write mostly hetero scenes however, for that is my preferred orientation.
What I will and won't promise to do:
------------------------------------
I hope the above explains why I didn't post Part 3 of Chapter VII. I have
started it, but I have to be in a particularly.. perverted mood to work on the
male-male stuff, and that's what part 3 basically will be, even with Suzi's
considerable involvement. Please understand I am not committing myself to finish
that part, but if I do, I will immediately post it. I would most likely
complete it while working on a related part in Tim's Junior year.
I also can't promise I will write everything I have planned in my head so far,
but I can assure you this: I will not quit with a story line unfinished. I
hate cliffhangers, and I know how frustrating reading a story you find
interesting and suddenly reach the point where the author just stopped without
concluding the tale they were telling.
I don't feel part three of Chapter VII violates this since it would contain a
description of sexual activity that doesn't affect the story's over all plot one
way or another. Well, it does effect the over all plot, but I explained the
relevant bit in the beginning of part 4.

Rise of a God
http://www.mcstories.com/RiseOfAGod/
Please note I have included Tim, the Teenage MC and Rise of a God here because I
originally based them in _The Book_'s universe. I have attempted to stay in
synch with Blackie's original work while adding on to it, but this was done
without being able to consult with him. Therefore, my own work does not
necessarily jive with Blackie's intended concept and could be considered to be
in a universe of its own. Tim will NOT encounter The Institute in his lifetime.
That is a story only Blackie can finish.
