Fan Novelization

Post by jjaquinta »

I've wanted, for a while now, to do a fan translation of the 1997 novel. However I haven't been able to get an electronic copy of it. With my work on Amazon Echo/Google Assistant I've been working with people in the visually impaired community. They are very excited to see someone making substantive games that are audio based. They know all these people who play video games, but can't participate. That got me thinking that since Manga is a very visual form, and has probably been equally inaccessible to visually impaired people. So I thought maybe it might be of interest to produce prose versions of the manga. Kind of like fan-fiction, but without making up new stuff.
The question is where to start. Should I start at the very beginning, with the original Battle Angel Alita series? Or start with Last Order, or start with Mars Chronicle?
What do you think?

We do not even know, if half of this arc is finished, so...
In LO, they at least mention parts of original manga.
I think, it is best to start with the original.
