By way of an introduction, "The Changed" is a six-parter originally envisioned as a gap-filler in BBC3's schedules for the New Year. Something very odd, however, has happened to their commissioning policy since the decision to shift that part of the network entirely online (due in 2016, but contingent upon improvements to iPlayer, blah blah blah). Everything seems to be up in the air, so I've determined to get my six slices of fiction out via a different Internet medium - this blog.
Originally, I thought "The Changed" might make it as a reasonable novel. Structurally, it was both sound and neatly contiguous - a well-defined beginning, progressive development, and a good, solid conclusion. However, then some real-world interventions occurred. Not to bore you, but they resulted in a semi-fortuitous reconsideration of how to effectively break up the narrative. Thus, six parts:
1. Alpha Minor.
2. Impatient Zero.
3. An Exercise in Cruelty.
4. Curious Georgina.
5. A Watched Pot Never Boils.
6. Omega Major.
Part 1, "Alpha Minor", should be with you in the next few days.
