In the creative project, I continued writing the Gunnm story. I am trying to create a horror of self-awareness. It shows readers the bad side of human's nature. When individuals pay too much attention on themselves and don't care others, they become "monster" in others eyes. What's more, in this project, I discussed about the question "Who I am." by fit it into a "clone kind" story. The reason that can create horror is because humans feared things they don't understand.
Gunnm is a comic work, so I tried a new way of writing to make my description more like comic by adding a lot of action description and background description. Beside that, I tried to use the idea "Normal outside but chaos inside" from the movie Mystery on the Chip Gally. She thought she was the same as Real Gally, but the small different makes everything inside her messed up already.
As readers read this work, they will find out that even the starting point is love, sometimes unlimited love to oneself or another individual could become a monster.
When I was working on this project, I was surprised by how normal horror appears in stories and how hard it could be to create a logical contradiction between characters. Instead of taking a traditional test, I believe that I learned more information about the relationship between cyberpunk and horror, the comic Gunnm, and what is self-awareness while I was doing research for this project. When I was writing this project, I started to think about the story as a author instead of a reader for the first time. This changed of view made me had a better understand of why sometimes authors write in a specific way and what part of the story worth more ink to describe.
I think the strongest part of my work is my basic outline of the story and the background description. Different from the way I usually write, I set up the sense in my brain first and find out a good way to transition between senses. I spent a few days to think about what should be the contradiction and what is the factor of the story climax. In the end, I got the contradiction of self-awareness between brain and chip, and the climax about Ido's "death". However, these strongest parts caused weakest parts of my project. The background setting of Gunnm is too big, when I chose the contradiction and climax, they decided I have to spend a lot on foreshadowing and introducing the background setting. I didn't spend that much on those, which caused the story a bit illogical and processed too quick. Beside, my comic style writing has a problem in lack of detail portrayal, that makes the problem of processed too quick even worse.
Overall, I think I deserve a 94% on this project. I am not 100% satisfied about my work as I mentioned. But considering this is my first time write project like this,I think most parts are great, and it really gave me a very different writing experience.
