This is an excerpt from my fan fiction screenplay DESPICABLE SCARLET.

DESPICABLE SCARLET picks up the adventures of supervillain Scarlet Overkill where MINIONS left off. Scarlet, along with her trusty inventor husband Herb, embarks on a revenge mission against Felonius Gru in order to reclaim "her" crown, with plans to take down the Anti-Villain League in the process. When an unexpected betrayal throws her plan into chaos, Scarlet suddenly faces the most difficult battle of her life.

Rated PGT (Pretty Good Times) for action, cartoon violence, supervillain shenanigans, an epic martial arts battle, scenes of Scarlet Overkill being fabulous, Minion mayhem, canon compliance except where things like subversive shipping is involved, Herb Overkill being foxy, social commentary, song suggestions that have no business in a professional screenplay but this is fan fiction so all bets are off, and bananas.

In the spirit of the source material's visual medium, DESPICABLE SCARLET is in screenplay format and is best read in the free PDF file available at my author site: http://www.heathermassey.com/freebies/

Additionally, the PDF includes illustrations I commissioned for the story. So for the love of all that is holy, download the PDF and enjoy the complete package! Thanks for your interest!

************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday.

In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.

The Heist

6 parts Complete Mature

A tale about one of Scarlet Overkill's early heists and her first meeting with her future husband, Herb. Content alert: coarse language, graphic violence, heist action, sexist male villains, "sweet" heat level, hurt/comfort, and an homage (if you're well versed in Overkills fic, you'll know it when you see it!)
