Description
Gwen, face pale and hands shaking, shut the door softly as she stepped into her house, her hand on the doorknob as she stared down at her shaking hands with a look of pain, sadness, and anger.Whast had they done? What had she done?! She'd... She'd been apart of a murder. She'd burnt a man alive.... She.. She'd....
Gwen gripped the doorknob hard, her knuckles turning white, as she let out a chocked sob, placing her free hand over her mouth as her body shook from held back sobs and screams.
"Mama," Gwen's eyes widened, and her head snapped around. Her heart sunk as she stared at Nancy, her daughter, shaking and hiccuping as she whiped at her eyes. Her stuffed rabbit hung from her hand, as she dragged it behind her. "I had bad dweam."
Gwen walked numbly up to her daughter, and scooped her in her arms, squeezing lightly. "Oh.. Oh sweetie, it's... It's OK. Bad dreams... They can't hurt you." Gwen continued to sooth her daughter, as she walked Nancy back to her room, placing her in her bed.
"It was scawy," she whimpered, as Gwen pulled the covers over her daughter, and ran her hand through the little girl's hair. "Mr. Fweddy was getting hurt!"
Gwen froze, her fingers going numb and pulling back from her daughters hair, as she stared wide eyed and pale at her daughter. No... No she couldn't have known!
"He was bein eatin by a big fire monster! He was scweamin and cwying!" Nancy started to cry again as she looked up at her terror filled mother.
Gwen felt her heart drop to her stomach as she pulled her daughter against her chest and sobbed into her daughters hair, trying to escape the echoing of Fred Krueger's screams that would now haunt her for the rest of her life.
D'aww! Ain't little Nancy cute! *Cooes*

Liz, you read my mind from across the country. Just last night I was thinking I should write a fic with Little Nancy having a nightmare about Freddy's death (though in my version he also asks her to give her mother a message "This isn't over!")
Great minds think a like, but I'm starting to think I may have limited physic powers because this is not the first time this has happened to me.
As always, good work, you're getting better each time not matter how much or little time you spend on your pixels !

You know I like the entire idea of Freddy as the ultimate "playmate", but it's odd since the film established that the children did sense something "wrong" about playing with Mr. Freddy. It is the "lost of innocence". I find it strange that Nancy retains this innocence, particularly when she cried during the scene where she confessed about the secret cave.

Well my thought on that would be that, if you think about it, for the kids it had to be confusing. What if he did have some kind of personality disorder? Two sides. The fun Freddy that loved and cared for them and would play games and make them smile. And the other side. The one that lefthe cuts on them. Hurt them in the cave. It would be difficult for four and five-yr-olds to comprehend When Freddy was burning in the remake, he was mixing as both. The kind, good, Freddy who was scared and confused as to why he was being attacked... And the Freddy who hurt the kids wth glee and melted out to take over Freddy's full being. But the nice Freddy is still inside him... Just deep and buried...
Nancy was his favorite. His number one. Both sides found something in her they liked and cherished. It made sense to me that she would be the most confused by Freddy.
Idk. Does this make any sense?

The way you portray him seems like multiple personalities, like he as dissociative personality disorder. I don't see that at all.
First and foremost, he is a predator. He's the wolf in sheep's clothing. He was not only a pedophile, but a fledgling serial killer in the making; he had the potential to be one if he wasn't stopped. To me, he has antisocial personality disorder; he really wasn't much different from Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy. He's always been the monster. The "fun" Freddy is a carefully created mask. As a predator that hunts, he has to disguise himself to get his prey. He had to know how to charm, ease, and manipulate children, but adults as well. He never really changed from what he was before he burned and after. All you did was rip the sheep's clothing off his back, he can't disguise himself anymore, and reveal the wolf naked before you and you see what he was fully capable of, without the restraints.
Out of all the children, as teens, they had "pieces" missing inside them. They weren't happy children; there's something missing inside them which they couldn't put their finger on. Children may not have comprehended what Freddy did to them, but even five-year-olds sense something was wrong; kids seem to know when things, more than adults give them credit for. Nancy was unique because, as a teen, she was "dead" in the inside. Nancy was his favourite. She's the one he had an emotional attachment with. She became more than "prey", which I do think confused him and enticed him. There was more than lust; there was a connection and this connection has lived on for YEARS and YEARS and came back in full force by the events of the film. Then you can't help but go into the realms of theory of WHY this is so...
Now, the photographs in the cave are of Freddy, according to the original script, were of him sodomizing her with gardening tools, which makes me believe that Little Nancy didn't think the sexual relationship was wrong UNTIL around that time. Nancy's the one who confessed it; she exposed it first; and so Freddy betrayed by his favourite. So when he was the dream demon, he was understandably enraged off at her because it was her confession that had the parents hunt him down and kill him.

OK! Now I see what I went and did. You are right, of course. What I did, when I was writiung out the fic, I went and mixed both Freddy's together while adding my own viewpoint into the mix. A character may be developed and standing infront of you, but how you perceive and think of them can be totally different to what you need to see. I think that's why it's hard for some people to write fanfiction.
I was making Freddy through my thoughts while mixing both Freddy's togetehr and morphing it wrong... I seem to have a problem with doing this to a number of characters I try to write, and it's very annoying *Huffs*
Thanks! I see what I did wrong, so I may go back and fic this, just to get the record straight. *Sigh* I'd be lost without you, hun.

I know quite a large number of people who were sexually assaulted when they were children. Freddy Krueger is a "warning" that people, like him, are out there and they are. The character was very much a product of the 1980s because when pedophilia cases were going public. Did you know that Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street, who was Big Bird's imaginary friend for ten years, became "real" because it was a metaphor to pedophilia? That Big Bird was telling the truth and no one believed him, because he has the mentality of a child, but exposing Snuffleupagus as real was to say "We believe you! Believe your children! They're not lying! They're telling the truth! Listen to them! Something is wrong, help them!"
I don't mind if you romanticize the relationship between Freddy and Nancy because I do, too, but I'm also very, very clear that this is a real, real problem that is happened to kids every day -- and it's not something to take lightly. There should always be a SERIOUSNESS to the relationship.
As storytellers, we do have certain responsibilities to our audience and you should never forget that. You have the power to implant ideas and thoughts, and these are YOUR ideas and YOUR thoughts. Would you ACTUALLY want this to happen to you? Do you want this to happen to your sister, your brother, your own child? If the answer is no, show it and tell it. For example, I always had this image of Freddy and Nancy playing house as them as the father and the mother, with little dolls and stuffed animals as their "children", and it appears all cute and wholesome until Freddy asks "Do you know what else mommies and daddies do?" with a grin. There is a romanticism to this relationship still, but I still want to express the "moral" and "horror" with it.

..Oh wow. I never watched Sesame Street as a kid. I was a Barney person myself, but I get what yer getting at. Sexaul assaults are common in my small town. Hell incest is to, Im sadened to say. Its a small City I live near, with hicky people, and you run into some bad, fucked up, seeds each time you turn around. I believe what yer getting at.
I don't know if I was trying to romanticize it, but I think I was just trying to get a message of how strong of a connection, bad as it may be but a connection there still is, Freddy had made with Nancy, and that the forces of death that approached Freddy couldn't even break what he had done and created with her... I just didn't explain it in the right way, and I made it off as romantic. Its a writing flaw I'll be sure to work on next time so as not to possibly confuse, or even piss-off, someone.
...God I have sooo much more to learn *Smakc head* I mean, yeah I'm deep into psychology and sociology, but I need to learn the affects that something written or said can put in a persons mind. I wouldn't want something like that to happen to me, and I need to realize that. *Grumbles and rubs temples* Thanks. I have an annoyed headache, but it made me realize some things I need to look through and learn ^^

It's something that is commonplace in every city, town, and suburb, whether we like to admit it or not. It happens everywhere.
All storytellers romanticize; it's fiction after all. If we didn't romanticize, we'd be writing essays and documentaries, instead of stories with plot and characterization. Personally, I love your little short stories, but I think a child being raped multiple times, sodomized by a gardening tool, and her being "happy" and "innocent" about it doesn't work at all. We see the scene where Little Nancy's eyes say it all when Fred Krueger seduces her with a "secret" and in her confession to her mother about the cave. That's a child that's been through hell and back. We write her out-of-character, I feel, and that's why I'm saying something about it. I don't want to ruin any ideas or stories, that's the last thing on my mind, but I just want to make you aware of what's happening at least.

Yes. Thus explaining to everyone, that we live in a cruel, sick and twisted, kind of world where everyone wears a mask, or looks away fro mwhat is in their face -_- Horrible.
*Chuckles* Well I'm neither mad or annoyed by you putting me back in my place. I was aware of what I was suppose to be writing, but I guess, like you said, I just had to let my urge to romanticize get in the way *Slaps hand* Bad typing hnds! Bad!

I really like you idea of Nancy's "imaginary friend" is Freddy. But here's a suggestion. Why not make it seem like Freddy's still haunting her? She's divided between the memories of "Nice Freddy" (pre-burned) and reality of "Bad Freddy" (burned).

Ooo... That's a good idea, actually. Hmm...*Ponders ideas*.. Yeah... I can work with that ^^

I think it would be very confusing for her to see two sides of Freddy firsthand and she's too young to know which is the real persona. I think of Ted Bundy. He has two sides. He had the charming mask and the monster under the surface. Freddy I see the same way.

Ted Budy is that serial killer who was believed to have killed over 100 people? I get his name mixed up with John Wayne Gacy, the clown guy, for some reason. If its the first one, then yeah, I can totally work with that for Freddy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ted Bundy killed over 35+ that we know of (although some say it's over 75+). He systematically kidnapped teenage girls, dark hair that was parted in the middle, and raped and killed them, then oftentimes dug them back up, put makeup on them, and had sex with the corpses: [link]
He had a mask of a very charming, easy-going person, but the reality is that he was a monster.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol! I know who he is. I just use to get him confused with John Wayne Gacy for some reason when I was in my Criminology and Psychology classes
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gacy was larger man. But yes, he had the same charming, easy-going mask and yet had 50+ kids buried under his house. Blech.

*Shudders* That's just wrong and nasty.. Sicko the Clown is more like it. God! This is why Id NEVER let my kids be around a clown unless I was next to them. Eeew!

You know? If I had to ever encounter a serial killers that just killed for the hell of it, or just for the thrill, I'd be grateful that I was about to be killed by the simple murdering kind, instead of the killers that raped, tortured, or sodomized their victims before killing them... Just aint right
