The Marauder: A Scene Rewriting Experiment

[thecringefactor]

Hey, this is part of an experiential project where I rewrite scenes from different video games, and the second one is DOOM Eternal’s Marauder fight.

 

The Google Doc link is here because it is 5,992 words long:

Warnings: just DOOM violence, description of Marauder’s injuries, but does not overpopulate the story.

 

The project’s purpose is to help me write better in the fiction context when I don’t have ideas to write a fully original scene, practice my own interpretations, and break free from my usual tradition of academic essay or news article writing. I chose a fight scene this time to get out of my comfort zone with something fast-paced.

 

My style for elaboration:

I tend to be very descriptive of scenes, logical of motives, prefer to apply philosophical aspects or big questions, and so this was an experiment to retain my style while challenging myself with a fight scene, which is by nature faster paced than my comfort zone.

 

I also haven’t seen any other writing works in this forum in forever, so that’s something. Next I will write about a particular Alice-in-Wonderland cottage from Genshin Impact, so that won’t be appearing here (unless requested). Way to go from demonic fight to whimsical tea party!
