So today i was digging around in my old writing, and i mean really old, when i still thought farting was funny, and i came across an old draft of The Beta Project. For those of you who may not know, The Beta Project is a book featuring Kiana, the last girl left, and Beta, a robot who can feel emotion, who fall in love and run away.
I'm not sure how old this thing is, I must have forgotten about it or something. I can't remember how much it's like the newer copy later on, because i only have a page and a half, but it just made me laugh out loud thinking how much it's changed. It's still called 'The Beta Project', unsurprising really, i just love that name, but that's almost the only thing similar. The obvious ideas, it's about the last girl who falls in love with a robot, it's set in the future, her daddy is evil, ect. but there are a lot of differences.
Kiana, the main character of the story, was a husky called Mona, in one part of the story she just submits to her father because he wants her to marry and have kids (cause you know, when you're the last woman alive, that's the thing you gotta do). She's now a white panther, i remember she changed to that because i was slowly adding more and more features and i wanted to try a panther. In one part of the story, she has an outright fight with her father just by bringing up the idea of marriage. I guess it's easy to say she's gotten a bit more 'snappy'.
Her father, the Captain, has changed a bit to. Before he was all responsible and well-knowing, always wanting the best for everyone, ect. (but he turns evil in the end) but in the current version, he's just a monster who wants to be known in history, right from the start. Maj, a friend of Kiana's mum, was apparently called Stacy, but surprisingly little seems to have changed on her end...
Lastly, in my old plot i had a sub-storyline explaining why Beta was created. Apparently he was made so he would travel out in space so they had another planet to inhabit. He didn't want to, so he ran away with Kiana, and they fell in love some time after. Personally, i quite liked the plot, but unlike Cat-Run, The Beta Project isn't a story you can have a sub-plot. I decided to leave it out because it was much to complicated.
Uh... and that's about it of looking back at the Beta Project (next week, Cat-Run (only kidding, that would take forever to write!))
Not sure why i'm writing this. Perhaps i just needed to write this, and journals are the only place i know where.
