Short Story: Harley Quinn(completed May 31st 2015)

Interested in something BIG?!?

Hey, everybody who reads/read this, as you hopefully know, but most likely not, that this is not my best story, nor is it one of my favourite stories that I've written. It is, however, my new most successful story. I'm glad of that, honestly, it's awesome to know that there have been a total of 1.1K reads on this thing, but I'm not proud of the story itself or the plot.

Hang on, there! I'm going to be talking about this story and then I'm going to make an important announcement regarding this story, so PLEASE hang around and read till the end. It would mean so much.

I'm not proud of if because it's not written to my usual liking or style, it's not written "properly" by my standards of writing, and it's just plain wrong and cringeworthy.

When I say "not written to my usual liking or style" or "not written properly" I mean that this is my most slacked on work.

I half-assed this and anyone who's read ANY of my other stuff(other than the book series "The Elements", which is currently being rewritten)knows that it is half-assed. If you didn't know that it was half-assed, then you should go check out at least one of my other stories to get a handle on how I write.

The half-assed-ness starts in the first chapter that is seen from Poison's POV as well as when Poison first appears. It's not the way it's supposed to be, because in the source material I used, *Spoilers for BATMAN: Arkham Knight* Poison is dead. Well, she dies.

Mind you, I did start writing this before Arkham Knight was released, so it's not entirely my fault for screwing up there, but I kept going when I saw Poison DIE. I believe I was still writing the story when I beat the game for the first time.

I COULD say that "oh poison was dead because and Harley was imagining her, derrrrr" but no, in this day and age, that's kinda unacceptable. The "it was just a dream." I had already pulled non-beneficial fourth-wall breaking on you guys, so it's just incorrect to screw the readers over twice.

Her being in GCPD in the start is perfectly logical when looking at the end of the game, but bat's is NOT supposed to be there and show his face if we're going by the game. His identity is supposed to be revealed and he's "dead."

He's not supposed to be the bat, he's supposed to be the Bat's phantom. Using modified fear gas(presumably). In this, Batman not only shows his face to multiple people, but uses the batwing in public, where he is clearly visible.

Then Harley did help bats at one point but that was because Joker had tried to kill her(and she actually noticed this time) so they helped each other but I'm pretty sure that was the only time they worked together.

And in this story batman slacked a lot. He slacked as much as I did with this story.

Harley is smart, but she's too crazy to realize it and utilize it to her full extent, so her finding out bats' identity without help is far more unlikely than her and him working as a permanent team voluntarily. She'd've needed riddler or bane's help to find his identity.

Let's talk about other parts of the story such as the shameful and very needless "shoutout" to someone who has about 700x more followers than me(no joke).

I shouted out Letstwistagain. She wrote a bunch of famous and awesome stuff like Superbad, Mad as a Hatter, Villain Academy and multiple others, and what did I do? I mentioned and tagged her in the story. She was even a standalone character, nonetheless a RECURRING CHARACTER IN THE SERIES*. It was EXTREMELY obvious because it was a blatant tag and Harley saying that she liked their stories! Like WTF??

I was too tryhard for this story in trying to cater for something I wanted but even failed at that. I made a story about Harley Quinn that wasn't even half Harley Quinn. There was too much Ivy.

Keep in mind that there is a few very small parts that I liked and I don't hate, and I'm not going to take it down, but that's not what I'm talking about. And that's not what I'm going to talk about.

I'm going to talk about a new book that I'm writing.

It's a rewrite of this book and the first chapter is nearly done.

It's still called H for Harley, but it's way more cannon to B:AK and will still lead into Saviour of The Night.

In the new one, Harley will be going on more risky adventures with a Batman-less Gotham city.

I've tried rewriting this story before and then I deleted it, but I'm going to try again.

This new story will be more Brutal(hopefully), more Harley Quinn-esque, [hopefully] it'll be funny, it'll be darker, there'll be more fights, references(if I can fit them in), and just better overall.

I should finished the first chapter of the book soon, and it should be published soon after, so if you're maybe thinking about reading it or looking into it, I would recommend following because that's the best way to find out if and when I post it, as well as get updates about other stories, and hey, I may start reading your stories and most likely follow back.

Anyway, that's all I had to say.

Keep a lookout for the new story and please consider following. :)

*The series I mention is actually the Saviour of the Night series. Which includes H for Harley, Saviour of the Night, Saviour of the Night: Blūdhaven Knightess, Saviour of the Night: Descent Into Madness, and Embrace Your Fears. I highly recommend the series if you want to follow my version of the Arkhamverse, which I called the Glympseverse(you'll find out why if you read the series). It'll follow the character known as Glympse(A.K.A. Ly-a Kane) and her attempts to stop evil. In Embrace Your Fears(which isn't the series finale) it will follow a new character named Brea Tulsom as she tries to find Glympse along with some new and returning characters. Once again, I highly recommend the series, even though the Blūdhaven Knightess and Descent Into Madness aren't as good as the first and last one. If you decide to read them, I really hope you enjoy them because I really enjoyed writing them.

Anyway, I've been dragging on too long, so I hope you decide to read the new story as well as the rest of the Saviour of the Night series. I also hope you follow because I think that you won't be disappointed in the stories that I've written.

This has been 4NINETY4/K. D. A. Raymond with an important announcement.

Bye Bye!
