So I couldn't help but wonder: If Worlds Within Worlds was a comic that was later turned into a TV show, what would comic and TV show be like? What would change?

And as I am entranced by such metatextual examinations, I had to write this. I wrote it in about a day, which for me is record time. In this segment, the producers/head writers of the TV series get together to talk to the writer and artist of the comic. And much fun is had by all. ≈5100 words.

This is essentially "How She Will/How Will She" reworked -- it ended up being three times longer and three times creepier. Title taken from "Girl Anachronism" by The Dresden Dolls, because it really is Keiko's theme.

I'm gradually posting installments of a short story collection here that's centered around the young superheroine Keiko Mitsugi (Ronin) in Worlds Within Worlds - currently, the pieces range from a little over 200 words to just under 2,000, which is probably a good ballpark figure for how the rest of the series is going to go.

I'd advise not reading these stories if you're uncomfortable with dark/mature themes, possible porn, psychic ninja antics, or overuse of the present tense.

That being said, we're all a lovely bunch of disturbed individuals here. So do read and enjoy, won't you?

The birth of Keiko. G, 228.
