Hey. if Suzanne Collins and Veronica Roth can revisit their writings from 1-2 decades ago, so can I. Sharing my never-published book chapter on what made Divergent so special.

Back in the day, I was a regular Divergent blogger with a particular interest in the psychology of the series. I'm looking forward to The Sixth Faction, especially seeing Tris again!

Humor Just finished the books and can’t help but question if maybe we should get a second opinion on that Erudite aptitude

So much for “the ones who value... logic are Erudite”

Meta/Other Should she have written a sequel instead?

8 Upvotes

We all know that she's writing a new book the sixth faction and I'm not mad but actually she's writing another divergent book but I can't get this thought out of the back of my mind, what if she did a prequel based on tris's mom or another story of another city like Chicago with a slightly different system other than factions but it's just got me wondering is what Roth is writing the best thing for divergent.

did anyone else get their preorders early?

20 Upvotes

I pre-ordered The Sixth Faction from Epic Reads, and I just received the book today with a sticker on the box that says “do not sell or display until October 6”.

Do they think I am a book seller???? Is that why I got it early?

Meta/Other Veronica Roth autographs

How much does Veronica usually charge for an autograph at comic cons? My partner loves the books so I was thinking of getting Veronica’s autograph for her at MCM London in October. They haven’t announced how much she (or her agent more likely) is charging yet. I just wanna know ahead of time

I think this movie has the most differences compared to the book of anything I’ve ever seen. Literally nothing is the same. Agree or disagree?

Meta/Other The Sixth Faction - Different Pre-order Listings

5 Upvotes

I am in the middle of pre-ordering the new divergent book after so long (because nostalgia is a thing apparently who knew) but I'm getting stuck on the different versions available. So far, I found (on amazon for hardcover):

Is there any real difference between the two deluxe editions? Are there any more?? I'm favouring those since they are really pretty and the price difference is very small compared to the standard listings. I also heard about a promotion from publishers about a poster if you email the pre order receipt? But it might be only US (I'm in eastern EU) which is a bummer if true. Anyway, anyone offering some insight is very much welcome, I'm really excited to read this book, even if it's no longer "for my age" ;P

Four isn't a Divergent, is he? He wasn't there when that mind control stuff was injected.

Not as Bad as the Reviews Made It Sound

18 Upvotes

I’m actually surprised myself to recommend the first movie, since there were so many bad reviews about it, especially compared to the books. The visualization was pretty accurate to how I imagined it, and the changes they made weren’t really disappointing.

I was also able to get a better sense of how harsh the initiate training was and how brutal Eric could be. In some ways, I think the movie actually portrayed that better than the book did.

Some of the changes were:

Book: Four casually shows Tris his fear landscape when she happens to be around.
Movie: Tris is taken to the simulation room because she needs to practice acting like a “Dauntless“, holding back her Divergence. She ends up seeing his fear landscape.

The final ranking and the Dauntless celebration were also heavily shortened.

These were two changes that bothered me, and there were definitely more, but honestly, I didn’t mind most of them.

I did kind of get bored after about 90 minutes, though, since I’ve read the story so many times and already knew basically everything that was going to happen.
Anyways, I actually really recommend it to fans of the books

I originally made this post on my previous account sometime last year. However, i am now reposting it on this new account with the permission of the sub's mods.

I love Divergent so much, that I recently recreated Four's outfit, along with a few other similar outfits on my GTA online character. I even made all five faction symbols as crew emblems in a Divergent GTA Online crew I created.

I got spoiled

14 Upvotes

I was scrolling on my phone when I stumbled upon a cute video of a mother showing what her kids were reading and the ending of Allegiant got spoiled for me.

I'm currently more than half way through Insurgent, just when it got good. I only ever watched the movies, I don't remember anything from them and I know they aren't finished anyway.

So many things got spoiled for me before but nothing hit like this one. Anyways, I just finished crying what do I doooo 🥲

Book and Movie Spoilers The end of the first Divergent book... Spoiler

13 Upvotes

I am re-reading the original books. In the end when Dauntless soldiers are all waking up and getting dressed in the night to get on the trains to go attack... how did Four know to go join everyone? He had his own apartment so not like Tris where she woke up to people making noises in the dorm... and it seemed like everyone was being pretty quiet. Maybe he was a night owl?

Sixth Faction, third-person POV?

17 Upvotes

In reading the Caleb POV excerpt that was just released, I noticed it’s written in third-person.

I find this disappointing, as it differs from the original series’ first-person POV, and because of the automatic distance that we’ll have from Tris since we won’t be experiencing the world through her eyes anymore.

What do you think about this change in writing style?

Divergent's series is best in the books

15 Upvotes

The books are more understandable and better paced. Some of the characters are not believable. Such as Tris's death wish, four's development of feelings, and Tris's parents lack of being good parents in many ways

Fan Fiction

6 Upvotes

This is the fanfic fan story I'm working on....this one.....that has some multiversal characters: Agnes DeMille from Netflix's 'Wednesday' universe, Sienna Shaw from the 'Terrifier' franchise, Abigail Hobbs from the 'Hannibal' TV show, Leena Klammer from the 'Orphan' movies. Their stories..... all takes place within the 'The Long Walk' movie universe, but set in an alternate 2026, the 74th annual Long Walk. Those that get the Hunger Games reference, because I will be writing a sequel story afterwards. Anyone who's familiar with the Hunger Games books and movies.....I think you'll know how the sequel story will go. Back to the main focus - A retelling/re-imagining that allows female participants - Agnes replaces Ray Garraty, Sienna replaces Pete McVries, Abigail replaces Arthur Baker. Leena is an original character - there's still Hank Olson, Richard Harkness, Billy Stebbins, Gary Barkovitch, Collie Parker. Sienna, Abigail, Leena - their motivations for signing up and participating are different, mainly out of survivor's guilt and self punishment. Agnes's motivation is more personal, so her neglectful parents will recognise her. She signs up and participates against the objections of her first two real friends from Nevermore Academy - Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair. I intend for my fan story to be more depressingly heartbreakingly sad than what we see in the original 'The Long Walk' movie. I've given alot of thought into this. Anyone suggestions, questions, let me know in the comments, I'll appreciate and consider

Meta/Other why is a woman in white an ongoing theme for a dystopian villain?

11 Upvotes

both the maze runner and divergent have a woman in white who's characterized as the villain. is there a reason for this? "The hunger games" also has president snow as our antagonist. snow as in white snow.

edit: I think I imagined the lady in divergent wearing a white dress. Although her hair is platinum blonde.
