Editing Nobilis Strike while the Iron is Hot:Leviathan Jones (section)

==Background==
What happens when a Story is started but never finished? Most of the time it fades away into nothing. Sometimes the pieces of inspiration flow into another mind, or another world. But very rarely, the Story is seen so clearly before the fall, and is so close to completion, that it takes on a life of its own.
Leviathan Jones was one of those stories.
A grand tale of humanity's struggle against the overwhelming forces of an alien race, the story was never completed. The author wrote the story nearly to its conclusion, but he wanted the humans to win and could never decide just how to pull that off. Eventually, when inspiration swiveled its head to another tale, Leviathan Jones was discarded.
The Story wouldn't have that. Kicking and screaming and fighting like hell, it broke through the raw potential surrounding it, and made its way back to the world of its creator. Once it was there, the inspiration that had never reached the Author reached the Story, filling in the empty gaps. There was only one thing that could have saved the humans in the saga of Leviathan Jones, one thing that separated them from their relentless and overwhelming enemy: Fighting Spirit. That most human of drives, to carry on in the face of the seemingly impossible. The Story was complete, and Leviathan Jones took the totemic form of its titular character: one of the most badass dudes ever written.
