Life in Eddsworld ((REWRITTEN))

## Origins

*"Life in Eddsworld"* was a fanfiction that Dave wrote on March 27, 2017, and posted to Wattpad. It was the first Eddsworld fanfiction he had ever written. The fanficiton had 14 chapters until Dave posted a notice on August 18, 2017, where he discussed wanting to rewrite the fanfiction and what was to be expected in it. Thus, *"Life in Eddsworld ((REWRITTEN))"* was created.

## The Plot

The fanfiction begins with the four boys on a car ride to a camping site. Business continues as usual: Tom and Tord argue while Edd tries to calm them down, and Matt tries his best to get them where they need to be. Eventually, they reach the campsite and set up their tents. Everything seems to be going pretty well until the group starts hearing strange things. They ignore it and chalk it up to animals and such and continue to set up camp. Pretty soon, night falls and the four of them start up a campfire and sit around it. Edd discusses the tenting situation with them and concludes that Tom and Tord should tent together whilst he and Matt tent together, effectively contributing to the problem he's been trying to stop since the beginning of this fanfic. The two begrugingly agree and Edd and Matt head to bed early, leaving Tom and Tord to stay up together. However, as the two finally begin to bond, they also begin to experience strange things. Tom begins to see things that aren't really there, and Tord begins hearing more strange noises. They decide that now is a good time to go to sleep and head to their tents.

## The Weird Shit

All the weird shit that happens in the fanfic actually *does* have an explanation. In the original *Life in Eddsworld* fanfiction, Dave introduced an OC in chapter 8. The character's name was Siren, and she went on adventures with the boys until she went to go visit family in chapter 11. The character didn't return to the story until chapter 13, where it is revealed that she's dying. The boys go to visit her in the hospital only for her to die during their visit. However, in the last chapter (chapter 14), Siren comes back as a ghost to spend time with the boys and to give them closure.

In *Life in Eddsworld ((REWRITTEN))*, the weird shit that happens is actually because of Siren. But, since this fanfiction is a rewrite, it's not the same Siren that was introduced in the original story. This version of Siren was a vengeful spirit who had died in the woods surrounding the campsite, and had come to haunt the boys. At some point, Edd, Matt, Tom, and Tord *do* get to meet Siren in the rewrite, and it is implied that her ghost has memories of her past life in the original story (which is probably why she came to haunt them in the first place).

## The Loss

Unsatisfied with the story combined with simply not having much time to write it out to completion, Dave deleted the story from Wattpad completely. The only evidence we have that this fanfic existed was Dave's mention of it in the original *Life in Eddsworld* fanfic, as the announcement of its rewrite has not been deleted.

## Status

*Life in Eddsworld ((REWRITTEN))* will forver be lost media, as it hadn't been archived by Dave before deletion and he does not plan on rewritting the fanfiction, or bringing the rewrite back into fruition.
