Origins and Development
After the success of Omega Kid, Rurrlock decided to do another series set within the same world, but base it in New York. This gave Rurrlock the opportunity to use ideas that couldn't be brought into Omega Kid. Originally, the story was meant to have the canon characters from Kick-Ass in a more important role, but Rurrlock changed this feeling that it would become too much of a distraction.

When trying to decide for a main character, Rurrlock decided to use Debbie Jackson from In a World of Flaws.

The story was uploaded much earlier, however, Rurrlock deleted the story and changed it. 'It wasn't quite right! The ideas were there, but I didn't like the characters. '

So Rurrlock re-wrote it, making Debbie more friendly and giving her a more fleshed-out reason for becoming Scarlett. The plot also follows the same chapter and arc structure of Omega Kid.

Reception
Like Omega Kid, the response to Scarlett has been very positive. With high praise once agian going to its action and fight scenes, and for being entertaining. The characterization has been prasied as well, including that of the canon characters of Hit Girl and Red Mist.

The character of Debbie Jackson has also recieved good reception, calling her believable, funny and likeable. Some have even gone as far as to say she is a better protagonist than Thomas Lanks.

Spin-offs
Scarlett is set within the same universe as Rurrlock's other stories, Omega Kid and In a World of Superheroes.

Also it has a part-connection to another Kick-Ass fanfiction story, 'Archangel Saga '

Film
Rurrlock has said he would like to do a Scarlett film in the near future.
