Alice in Wonderland: Stage Two
Hi there. This is the second post about Alice in Wonderland. I told you about this series of posts in Alice in Wonderland: Stage One, so I don’t have to explain this one. I’ll just get down to business. I have done a few more things since the previous post.
Eventually these will end up as comics, and since we are only making a few scenes, we left out the parts where there was barely any action. Comics usually don’t work too well with dialogue. Here is a list of what happens in some (the list isn’t done yet) of the sections:
1. “That’s the judge, because of his great wig.” AT
“And that’s the jury-box, and those 12 creatures, I suppose are the jurors.” AT
2. KS “Herald, read the accusation!” KS “Consider your verdict!” RS “Not yet, not yet! There’s a great deal to come before that!” KS “Call the first witness.” RS “First witness!”
3. HS “I beg pardon, your Majesty, for bringing these in: but I hadn’t quite finished my tea when I was sent for.” KS “You ought to have finished. When did you begin?” HS “Fourteenth of March, I think it was.” MHS “Fifteenth.” DS “Sixteenth.” KS “Take off your hat.” HS “It isn’t mine.” KS “Stolen!” HS “I keep them to sell. I’ve none of my own, I’m a hatter.”
4. GP1S “Yay!” (GP1 suppressed) AT “I’m glad I’ve seen that done, I’ve so often read in the newspapers, at the end of trials, “There was some attempt at applause, which was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court,” and I never understood what it meant.”
If you didn’t understand that, don’t freak out. In other words, freak out. Here’s a key to it. All the sentences (or paragraphs) have a mess of capital letters before them. You will notice that all those messes have “T” or “S” at the end. That stands for “thoughts” or “speaking”. The other capital letters indicate who is doing the action. A=Alice, K=King, R=Rabbit, H=Hatter, GP1=Guinea-pig 1, and GP2=Guinea-pig 2. I suppose that’s all I’ve been doing since last time I posted. Soon I’ll be back with more, but for now…Bye!

Hello c16tk:
I am looking forward to reading your comic. According to your chapters, I think I will like the Hatter the best. He seems like a very silly character, just the kind I like….

Hello Slantpass
I really love your stories. A lot of thought put into each story.
I especially enjoy your “thoughts” or “speaking” = T or S. I know you created those ideas yourself.
I happen to know where the “mad hatter” name came from (a fact). It started in Phila. over at least 100 years ago. Ask me, I’ll tell you “T”.
