***Re:Literature Club! The Doki Doki Virus*** is a scripted romance/sci-fi/horror fanfiction series a created by Thunder Dragon Productions/ThunderDragonRandy based on Team Salvato's *Doki Doki Literature Club!* visual novel, that serves as a non-canon/fan sequel to Act IV of *Doki Doki Literature Club!*’s special ending.

This fanfiction series is written in a scripted "play" form (with dialogue lines and character poses and moods) to make the development of the mod version progress easier before the game mod project was indefinitely canceled due to the complexity of developing an ambitious project by a single developer. Despite the mod version exist, this fanfiction series exist as a substitution for the game mod.

Since this fan project and the once-planned side fan projects were created before the announcement and release of *Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!*, all extra content from *Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!* including the Metaverse background lore and prequel side stories (albeit, none of the side stories contradict the story of *Re:Literature Club! The Doki Doki Virus* while the Metaverse background lore does), this fan project does not take those extra content into consideration.

### Development

***/ WARNING: SPOILERS /***

ThunderDragonRandy was astounded by Team Salvato's *Doki Doki Literature Club!* visual novel after playing it in December 2017, he came up with ideas and theories based on Team Salvato's *Doki Doki Literature Club!* including but not limited to, *"What if it's not just the Literature Club? What if other school clubs had their own digital pocket dimension for games and other entertainment, and how did this digital world became to be?"* With this concept in mind, possible side projects were planned as prequels to the author's main project with this main project being the nexus for those possible side projects.

Some ideas that were crafted were inspired from franchises and series such as *Code Lyoko*, *Digimon*, *Mega Man* (especially the *X*, *Battle Network*, and *ZX* series), *Power Rangers/Super Sentai*, and *Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS*. With these ideas in mind, this project became known as ***Re:Literature Club! After the Festival***, having a discrete title to hide the true nature of the story. However, later in February while the first few chapters were being written, the fanfiction series' title changed to ***Re:Literature Club! The Doki Doki Virus*** and the chapters were slightly written, making the characters within the story more anxious about the game title, which is also to keep readers/players on edge along with the characters.
