Yo, time for my little reveal!

I hadn't originally intended to go anonymous, but once I realized I'd forgotten a couple minutes after submitting, I decided to leave it as is anyways. Just curious to see how it would do.

[i]I think, therefore* I am[/i] was mine entry. Some typoes will live on in eternal infamy.

Thank you for the praise I received, as well as the criticisms, [@Terminal] and [@PlatinumSkink]. The pacing is evidently what I need to work on next—it has always been my greatest challenge.

In a sense, this story is a result of me biting off more than I could chew—at least, initially.

[hider=Original plans]The initial focus of the story was going to be too many [i]superpowers[/i], with a cast of fledgling powered individuals struggling to come to grips with their new reality, and wrecking havoc in the city as a result. Each individual also had a subplot; too much of their specific superpower.

Eight supers had been developed, each with a meltdown for the ability.

But partway through the submission period, I realized there was [i]no[/i] way I was going to be able to keep myself motivated enough to write [i]that much[/i] in a week. So I took one character, the one who fit the theme best alone, and wrote exclusively about him.[/hider]

Superpower analysis and deconstruction has always been an interest of mine. While this entry may not be my best, I did have a blast coming up with it!
