My Creative Process here were two specifics: context and formatting. Having played the Halo games for many years, I had a strong idea of the writing style to imitate. I intended on writing original and existing characters. Chipps Dubbo has that iconic Aussie accent. And I reference Master Chief. All other characters are my own.
I actually wrote this first in Trelby. I thought as it is dialogue, it ought to be formatted like a script. I mean, it made sense. However, after I first wrote this, the layout sucked. Barks are triggered from specific moments. Showing them in table layout instead made them far easier to read.
