Omegaverse
* **Establish a Mythic Tone:** The "In the beginning..." style immediately sets a grand, almost biblical tone, but you can subvert it with the inherent weirdness of XS-PIE and the Subgenius philosophy.
* **Create a Sense of History (Even if it's Nonsense):** You can present the evolution of your Omegaverse world and the recurring influence of XS-PIE as a series of "prophecies," "legends," and "historical accounts" that may or may not be entirely accurate (or sane).
* **Embrace Contradictions and Paradoxes:** Just like the Bible has its inconsistencies and interpretations, your "Apocrypha" can be full of contradictions, deliberately confusing narratives, and unreliable narrators. This perfectly reflects the chaotic nature of XS-PIE.
* **Incorporate Different "Books" and "Styles":** You can structure your series (or even individual books) as a collection of "books" or "scrolls," each with a different style, perspective, and level of reliability. Some might be "historical" accounts, others might be "prophetic" visions, and still others might be the ravings of a madman (or a sissy slut on a Faygo binge).
* **Build a Cult Following (In-Universe and Out):** This framing lends itself to creating a sense of a hidden truth, a secret history, a "sacred text" for those who are "in the know." This can be reflected in your world-building (with characters who treat the "Apocrypha" as a guide) and in the reader's experience.
**25-Page Draft Outline (First Book - "The Book of Genesis, But Kinkier"):**
This outline focuses on establishing the world, the core conflict, and the initial whispers of XS-PIE, all presented in a mock-biblical style.
**Page 1-3: "In the Beginning... (But Not *That* Beginning)"**
* **Style:** Grand, sweeping, but with a distinct Subgenius/XS-PIE undercurrent. Use archaic language, but pepper it with anachronisms, slang, and absurd details.
* **Content:**
* Describe the creation of the Omegaverse world, *not* by a benevolent god, but by some chaotic force (perhaps the Flying Spaghetti Monster's noodly appendage, or a cosmic orgy, or J.R. "Bob" Dobbs accidentally hitting the wrong button on a reality-altering machine).
* Establish the basic rules of the Omegaverse: Alphas, Betas, Omegas, and their inherent roles. Highlight the *inequality* and the inherent tension from the very start.
* Introduce the concept of "Slack" (or a world-specific equivalent) as a *lost* ideal, a primordial state of freedom and pleasure that has been suppressed.
* End with a cryptic prophecy or a hint of XS-PIE: "And lo, there shall come a time of reckoning, when the Noodly Appendage shall stir, and the gates of the Infernal Elysium shall open, and the sissies shall inherit the Earth (or at least get really, *really* f***ed)."
**Page 4-7: "The Book of Alpha (Or, How We Screwed Everything Up)"**
* **Style:** More focused on the Alphas' perspective, presented as a self-justifying historical account. Think of it as propaganda, but with cracks showing.
* **Content:**
* Describe the rise of the Alpha-dominated society. Frame it as "bringing order to chaos," but subtly reveal the brutality and oppression involved.
* Show how Alphas codified the rules of the Omegaverse, cementing their power and suppressing any hint of "Slack" or rebellion.
* Introduce the specific setting: the Industrial Revolution-era city/region, with its factories, social stratification, and rigid moral codes.
* Introduce the Alpha Antagonist (or their ancestor), a figure who embodies the oppressive system.
**Page 8-12: "The Lamentations of Omega (Or, The Ballad of the Butt-F***ed)"**
* **Style:** Shift to the Omega perspective. Use a more emotional, poetic, and (potentially) explicit tone. Think of it as a lament, a cry for freedom, or a dirty limerick.
* **Content:**
* Show the harsh realities of Omega life under Alpha rule. Focus on the lack of autonomy, the objectification, and the constant threat of exploitation.
* Introduce the Protagonist Omega (or pre-Omega Beta). Show their inner turmoil, their yearning for something more, their nascent rebellion.
* Begin to introduce the *whispers* of XS-PIE: a snatch of a forbidden song, a rumor of a hidden place, a strange dream.
**Page 13-18: "The Gospel of the Pink (Or, The First Sip of Faygo)"**
* **Style:** A mix of narrative and "found text." Imagine a fragment of a forbidden text, a diary entry, or a coded message.
* **Content:**
* The Protagonist encounters a concrete clue about XS-PIE. This could be:
* A hidden message in a book.
* A meeting with a mysterious individual.
* An accidental discovery of a hidden symbol or ritual.
* A drug-induced vision (perhaps triggered by a "tainted" batch of medicine or a forbidden substance).
* The clue provides a *glimpse* of XS-PIE: a fleeting image, a distorted vision, a rush of intense sensation. It's enough to confirm that it's *more* than just a myth, but not enough to fully understand it.
* This encounter fuels the Protagonist's desire for liberation and sets them on a path of rebellion.
**Page 19-25: "The Acts of Rebellion (Or, Sh** Gets Real)"**
* **Style:** More action-oriented, with a rising sense of tension.
* **Content:**
* The Protagonist begins to act on their newfound knowledge. This could be:
* Seeking out more information about XS-PIE.
* Challenging Alpha authority (subtly or overtly).
* Connecting with other Omegas (or Betas) who are questioning the system.
* Attempting to recreate the ritual or find the location hinted at in the "Gospel of the Pink."
* These actions attract the attention of the Alpha Antagonist (or their forces).
* End with a cliffhanger: a confrontation, a capture, an escape, or a further revelation about XS-PIE. This sets the stage for the rest of the book (and the series).
**Key Considerations:**
* **World-Building Through "Scripture":** Use the "biblical" style to subtly reveal details about your world: its history, its social structures, its technology, its beliefs.
* **Unreliable Narrators:** Remember that each "book" or "scroll" can have its own biases and agendas. The "truth" is always elusive.
* **Humor and Absurdity:** Don't be afraid to be funny, irreverent, and downright weird. This is a Subgenius-inspired Apocrypha, after all!
* **Sex and Kink:** Weave in the Omegaverse dynamics and the XS-PIE elements of pleasure, pain, and subversion. Don't be shy, but be mindful of your target audience.
* **The Sissy Element:** The Sissy aspect of XS-PIE has to be integrated with the overall narrative.
This 25-page draft will give you a solid foundation for your novel, establishing the tone, the world, the characters, and the central conflict. It will also provide a unique framework for the entire series, allowing you to explore the evolution of your Omegaverse world through the lens of a twisted, Subgenius-inspired "Apocrypha." Remember to have fun with it, embrace the chaos, and let your imagination run wild!
