V7S1- A Story Not Meant To Be Told- 40's Noir with a Twist

Chapter 1: Investigations and Irritations

Notes:

***Blanket Note For All Verses 3-9***

Kay, so here's the thing, originally I was planning on starting these kinda in shifts, but I'm impatient and I really want to get this stuff going...

So over the next three weeks I am going to be starting universes

3-9

**(10 won't start till the others are well underway for a very specific reason)**

I'm not gonna be starting them necessarily in numerological order as some have ran further along with my mind than others (For example verses 3, 4, and 7 I actually have vague plans all the way through to the 1st season finale while the others are still forming...)

So some of them may take a bit to update but I will have the 1st half of chapter 1 up for all of them by May 10th (I'm setting me a deadline damnit)

The SEM Verse is still my main focus right now and will still be updated at least once a week...the others updates will be a bit more random depending on which one my mind is running with at that moment

I know it seems like a lot and not gonna lie that's cause it IS but my mind has been running with these for over a year now, I think it'll work out just fine...

All the universes I will most likely just update half a chapter at a time

The 1st stories of them will mainly just be introducing our characters and getting a feel for the world so- with the exception of the 40's with a twist the 1st stories will only be 8 chapters,

Kay onto our regularly scheduled program

Couple things real quick:

This verse is set in the late 40's and- as with all my verses- like 95% of my characters are something other than straight so this'll be a bit tricky. I want to keep the feel of the 40's and we will have the harder elements of the time but it will NOT quite be to actual historical levels-

Realism is all well and good but I read and write to get a break from the depressing things in the real world (Like news...and reality shows).

So we're gonna have the feel of a 40's style world, and the prejudices and such of the day WILL come into play (Sometimes in rather unexpected ways) only I can't really bring myself to take it to the levels it'd actually be for that time period...

That being said there will in all likelihood be darker themes (We'll probably deal with homophobia quite a bit in this verse), more drama, more crimes, violence and so on but I do have a plan, and I will find a balance...

(Or maybe it won't turn out like that at all, hell if I know-

Half the time I'm just as surprised where we end up as the rest of you...)

I don't know where we'll end up, but I can almost guarantee it'll be somewhere interesting.

Hey, it's my world; I can make it however I want...

Besides the whole premises of the 'multiverse' thing is that they're different, alternate universes...

Speaking of...

It's called '40's Noir with a Twist' for a reason, but you'll have to read it to find the twist...(Or you know...look in the tags if you want a hint...)

I think we're gonna have a lot of fun with this verse- I'm actually REALLY excited about this one...(I think it's my favorite of the verses, at least what I have planned of it is.)
