Happy Belated Birthday EMM
11 min read
It has come to my attention that EMM is now a year old (as of last Febuary).
Because of this, I will be celebrating the belated birthday of EMM answering ANY question regarding EMM and it's details.
Also, because I am a egotistical prick who has a addiction to curiosity, if anyone would like, I would enjoy to hear the tale as to what drew you to this fanfic and what compelled you to follow it up until now.
But first, a story:
(I told this story before, but here is a version with picture.)
Once upon a time, there were two brothers, the older one was a fan of a new TV show on Cartoon Network known as Steven Universe. In addition, this brother was a frequent lurker of the notorious site known as 4CHAN, specifically the board known as /CO/- Comics and Cartoons. As such, there were specific threads on this board known as /SUG/- Steven Universe Generals, which discussed the show and drew fanart for it.
Now this brother enjoyed the various drawings the anons of /SUG/ made for others, and his younger brother wondered how far they would go. So, a bet was made between these brothers, with 50 bucks on the line, the bet was to make the most disturbing request and see how long before the user was banned. But if the request was made beforehand, then the older brother had won.
Now there was the simple question was what to make as a request?
Well after a few days of lurking, an Anon posted a simple picture:
(Fun fact: This image is forbidden to post on /SUG/ because of...obvious reasons)
But it was not this picture that created inspiration, but rather, the reply of another Anon that started everything:
At this moment, the older brother had a idea, he would make a request involving a crazed Pearl killing Steven, and after browsing Gelbooru for inspiration, he found the inspiration and created his request:
(Note: This is not the original post, but the ones that came after.)
So the post was made and it was dropped like a soda can in the trash. So in response, the brother had a new idea: He would make the same post in EVERY THREAD until the request was made.
So the request was halfway created, but not finished:
However the brother did not give up, and continued to prevail, eventually he donned a name given to him by a deviant named
, and that name was...
Scraps
From then on, this continued for three solid months. Resulting in a variety of responses from outright hatred:
To downright mockery:
But after a long period of annoyance, the pic was finally conceived:
(Fun fact: I was banned three days after this pic was made.)
Now it seemed like it was over and it was done. But then a anon told me that I should make a fanfic to accompany this work, and it was decided to create the fanfiction know as Everyone Makes Mistakes.
As I made the fan fic as originally a simple one-shot it however, I eventually began to break it down into chapters for ease. Then I began to tinker with the structure and scenes to improve on the shock value.
After a day of tinkering, I was working at my local Target with pushing carts. It was a cold winter evening and I was thinking about Everyone Makes Mistakes and another SU fanfic I would work on known as Those Who Came Before. I was considering adding in several shoutouts from EMM into TWCB, but then, after slipping on black ice and slamming my head of the asphalt, I had a epiphany:
To combine both stories into a huge fanfic series.
So after I finished with the final chapter of EMM and began to work on the next part, A Girl and Her Lion, I was approached by the marvelous and talented who wanted to convert my story into a comic.
If you want to know if I said yes, this should clarify that:
As we planned on the comic, introduced me to and then I met another deviant named whose character Howlite was inspired by my fanfic. Then I met the talented , and and soon after, the seven of us evolved into the EMM braintrust, and the 
.
As of today, the fanfic and comic are still in progress, and none of this would be possible for those who helped make it into what it is today.
I would again like to personally thank the following for their service for EMM, and the Steven Universe Fandom and for allowing me to inspire them as much as they have for me.:
Rebecca Sugar (Yes, even she helped! ;-D)
...And all the fans and small collaborators. Stay strong and devoted my comrades!
Now, if you excuse me...
...I have a fanfic to write.
