[FanFic] Intro - Journey of Mac
Jul. 14th, 2009 05:48 amAh, it's been a while since I've written fic. As in, when floppy disks were still useful.
This fic came to me when I played Punch-Out!! for the Wii for the very first time. I got accustomed to it fairly quickly, even though I lost repeatedly in several matches (Great Tiger and Ryan Aran, specifically). I don't know why I came back for more. Maybe because Doc was encouraging? Nowadays when you lose/game over, it basically says, "you suck for failing/dying/etc" but not this game. It was... refreshing. Then again, it brought out the determinator (or aggressor) in me and therefore Little Mac as well.
There is very little story on the Punch-Out series as a whole. Hell, we don't know Mac's real name (but I made one up) I guess it's so open-ended that you can choose if it contains story or not. The more I played it, Patrick gathered some ideas for me; and it wasn't incoherent at all. It flowed well. So this is a P-O fic I'm making, based off of the Wii version, not the NES/SNES. I'll probably throw in a couple of matches from those two, once I've watched enough vids to get an idea.
There will be ups...and downs, wins and losses, and maybe a twist or two for Macharius Rodriguez, aka Little Mac.
