Ah, right, the death thing. The Empty City didn't so much die as just get grafted into Rapture. Which itself then died. So for The Empty City to be in an afterlife-type place/be alive but distinctly remember dying, Rapture would have had to have not won. And for the possibility of "Rapture won, so The Empty City is still alive, and all these Fears are simply a part of Rapture now too" to work, well, it wouldn't-- Rapture killed a lot of Fears on the last log. So what I'm trying to say here is something can't work with the plan if this is to be canonically.. accurate.

Never mind the fact that I have a specific "afterlife/what happens when Fears die, where do they go" thing planned that I just haven't gotten to yet in the sequel.

My point to all this is, really, just write the thing; the more you tell me about it the more I have a chance to get caught up in the concepts when really all I want to care about is the execution. If it's well-written enough I won't care about any possible contradictions.
