Texts Drafts

Here's a look into our editing and writing process with a few recent texts in their first forms compared to the final version that eventually got posted.

First Draft

Iceman: Hey Kitty, have you ever thought about running for

office?

Kitty Pryde: Uh no. Why?

Iceman: I just think you'd be really great at it. You should

run for president.

Kitty: I'm crazy unqualified for that.

Iceman: But you're feisty and immune to fire and own a

dragon.

Kitty: How much Game of Thrones have you been watching?

Iceman: Not too much ... do you think I might be a white

walker??

Final Version

Kitty: I want to change my code name. How do I go about

that?

Professor X: What's wrong with Shadowcat?

Kitty: Nothing but I've got this pet Dragon. I want to be

Khaleesi.

X: No.

Kitty: Mother of Dragons?

X: Nope!

Kitty: Stormborn?

X: I will cancel the mansion's HBO subscription if you keep

this up.

Kitty: Wow, you can be a real Cersei sometimes.

First Draft

Superman: You doing anything Sunday?

Batman: Brooding but I can reschedule. Why?

Superman: I thought I’d take you out for a drink. We can

celebrate Martha’s Day, haha.

Batman: WHERE DID YOU LEARN THAT NAME?!

Superman: Seriously? We went over this. It’s my mom’s name

too. Also just a super common name.

Batman: Oh. Right. I forget the world doesn’t revolve around

me sometimes.

Superman: Sure, sometimes.

Final version

Batman: Want to hang out this Sunday?

Superman: I already have plans. It’s Mother’s Day.

Batman: What? It is? I had no idea. Completely forgot. I

guess I’ll just stay here alone in the Batcave then since you have plans.

S: I guess you could come too if you want.

B: Great! I’ll bring pie. Is it too much if I also bring 20

years worth of “Happy Mother’s Day Martha!” cards I made? They have macaroni

art!

S: Too much.

B: All right, I’ll just pick one favorite.
