The Protonix Ghostbusters: Broken Reality

The Protonix Ghostbusters: Broken Reality is a Ghostbusters fanfiction published in Fanfiction.Net on June 8, 2016, at the time of the franchise's 32nd Anniversary, and is currently in progress of being finished. Broken Reality, while not being considered the most popular story of the Ghostbusters category due to low views, it is currently the third largest and most updated story of the category and is expected to become the second largest once finished. 
== Basics ==
The Protonix Ghostbusters is a fan-made 'verse' based on the Ghostbusters brand and properties thought of and written by the author 'Protonix' on Fanfiction.Net and several other sites that tell of the adventures and actions of a group of 8 Ghostbusters (eventually growing in the future) coming together when their/our world is being threatened from outside forces beyond what we can actually handle. 
The series mostly focuses on the main character, Derek Stewart, and most of the time his teammates; his girlfriend and (future) team medic Rachel Bucker and his best friend of 10 years, fellow supernaturalist and co-scientist/builder Leonardo Johnson.
