Well that slipped by…

So yeah, Monday was the website’s 4′th anniversary, and, alas, I had/have nothing to post. Various circumstances, as well as the usual procrastination, have led to me still having not finished Ortus Portenti. Though I think you’ll forgive me if I say that part of that time was spent on building Angel Island in Minecraft.

Ortus Portenti will be finished sometime in the near future (I’m hoping within the month so that it doesn’t end up stretching into the school year), and my next project will begin shortly afterward. Sonic Stadium regulars should watch for me making an appearance in the SSN section of SSMB when that happens. I think y’all will find what I have in mind rather interesting…

In other news:

Two new chapters

And there is very little else interesting I have to say. I’d like to convince you I wrote these and were just holding them for dramatic effect but I actually wrote them both today. I was gonna try and power through them before tomorrow but that didn’t work out. So the last half will probably come out this weekend. Tomorrow I’ll be playing many games, so unless I randomly take a break and do some writings (possibly after playing Adventure and getting all Sonic historical) I won’t be getting back to the story till then.

 

And so, with me finishing up the story this weekend (hopefully), I shall be announcing my next project some time next week. And I think y’all shall find it most intriguing…

This is exactly what I’m talking about…

… when I say I’m not making any promises. But fear not, for I have actually started on that story I said I was going to have started a month ago, complete with plenty of gratuitous Latin. You know, to make it feel more ancienty. And actually, as you’ll find out, that isn’t the only foreign language I’ve decided to randomly thrown into this story. In any case, the first chapter is here.

One of the main reasons I suddenly realized I really need to get working on this is that the end of the school year is approaching, which means I need to finish this story if I’m going to work on my summer project. That shall be revealed in a few weeks time, and I think you’ll find it most interesting…

But wait, there’s more! I’ve also added the my speech from this last season, as promised. As can be expected from me it’s full of video game references and jokes, all spun together into something that resembles a narrative. I’ve decided to make a poetry page and have housed a few of my recent works there. More will probably be added as I write more or perhaps dig back into some of my archives. Both of these can be found on the Extra page.

Long time no see…

So, yeah… been away for a while, but I’m back to kick some butt at Wild Canyon but I figured I should make a post just to say what I’ve been up to. I’ve finished another Speech season, but unfortunately I did not make it to State this year. But I’ll be posting this years script once the season is completely over. But as for today I have added a nice little Baccano! story that I did for school. So you can check that out over here.

In addition, what with having nothing to do now, I figured I should get started on that next story I mentioned. You know, the one which I wanted help deciding what to do. Not that anyone answered because, I mean, it’s not like anyone even reads this! Hahahahahahaa…ha…ha…………ha. But, anyway, I’ve decided that I’m going to be writing an Olldsliat origin story. Naturally it won’t be as long as AE, it’ll probably be around New Empire‘s length, likely a bit shorter. So you can expect that to start sometime in the next week, and I’m gonna try and do a weekly update schedule on this one. Though, considering who we’re talking about here, I’m not making any promises.

In other current news CURSE YOU SEGA FOR MAKING A CINEMATIC TRAILER THAT MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GAMEPLAY WISE AND YET MAKES ME INCREDIBLY EXCITED FOR A GAME THAT I CANNOT HAVE BECAUSE ALL I HAVE IS WII BLAAAH!

Srsly, I need to gets myself a PS3. As much as I don’t like Sony controllers, Blu-Ray and free on-line are a bit more important, so I’d probably go with that over a 360. Plus if I ever check out SONIC ’06 for myself I might as well get the (supposedly) somewhat less glitchy version.

 

Oh, and I’m trying a new theme again because I decided the last one made the text area way too thin for a site based around literature.

My Next Project…

Well, internetz, it’s almost the new year, it’s almost the new year, and it’s come to my attention I have written any fanfiction in a while. So I’ve decided I should probably start on my next project, and I want you to help!

Go to this forum topic for a few of my ideas and tell my what you think. (Yes this is partially shameless advertising for Chaotix.)

Some poetry…

Wrote a couple poems recently. Figured I might as well post them upon the internets. Make viewing after the jump.

Live and Learn… Latin

Hey, remember when I said I’d be making more random blog posts during my time away from fanfictioning? Well here’s one now!

I started this to “study” for my Latin final this past school year, and only got around to finishing it recently. I have translated “Live & Learn” by Crush 40 from SA2 into the great language of the ancient Romans. There were some parts that were hard to translate directly so I took a little artistic and grammatical liberty. This isn’t actually the first song I’ve done this with, but it is Sonical and recently completed. and now that I figured how to make macrons in Word, I decided to post it. REGUSTĀ!

Woot! Anniversary time!

And what better way to celebrate than fanfiction! Specifically the finale three chapters of Alternate Ending. I’m not gonna say anything about them here because I might ruin something, so just go and read them and prepare for awesomeness!

And I of course I totally had this all prepared long ahead of time and was only pretending to freak out and definitely spend all day yesterday writing and still not finish so I had to quick finish and post it this morning… that would just be foolish.

As for the future, for a little while I will be, as odd as it sounds considering my usual release schedule, taking a break from fanfictioning. Meaning I’m not gonna announce a new story soon for a couple reasons.

1) I just spent most of yesterday writing so I’m slightly burnt out.

2) School is beginning soon, so there’s that.

3) I’m not sure what story to do next.

And I also need to write a script for a random video my friends and I might make.

But that’s not to say this site won’t see any updating in a while. I’ll probably start doing more of those rant posts I’d been planning, with me talking about random stuff that will most likely pertain to the Sonic universe/fandom. Maybe some game reviews, who knows. But until then, go read the thrilling conclusion of Alternate Ending, and Happy Emerald Shrine Day!

Oh hey, it’s almost August 1st…

OH CRAP IT’S ALMOST AUGUST 1ST AND I’M STILL WORKING ON ALTERNATE ENDING! AND I ALSO DON’T HAVE ANYTHING FANCY PLANNED FOR SAID DATE WHICH FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT AWARE IS THE WEBSITE’S ANNIVERSARY AND AS IS TRADITION PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE WHEN THERE IS AN ANNIVERSARY OF SOME SORTS IT MUST BE CELEBRATED IN FASHION RELATED TO THE OCCASION!

I should probably get back to work. For now you can go enjoy the latest chapter of Alternate Ending. Which consists of the “wee-bit of strategizing, some plot, another character added (official this time), strategizing” section of my outline that I last posted. Which means next is the part with all the BATTLE and what not.

In other site news that actually happened earlier this week but I didn’t bother posting about it cause I knew this post was coming, I added a forum link to the top bar. Which since that can only link to pages on the site, is just a page where you can click a link to get to Chaotix. So, people reading this who aren’t on Chaotix yet, go join!

Happy Robotnik Day!

Oh, and that blue spiky thing too…

But seriously (as serious as you can get with a video game franchise based around a blue woodland critter [which is actually surprisingly serious {I like parenthetical additions to sentences}]), it is once again the day when the fandom celebrates the release of Sonic the Hedgehog on the SEGA Genesis (I say Genesis because I’m AMERICAN [IN AMERICA! {WITH MORE BRACKETS!}]).

It’s also conveniently the release of SA2 in the rest of the world, because apparently SEGA of America overlooked the awesome timing they could have had with its release. Nevertheless, what better way to celebrate than with fanfiction! To that end, I present you with another chapter of Alternate Ending! I initially thought I was gonna finish it all for today, then I realized I still had five chapters left, so… In any case, the chapters after this will pretty much go thusly, theme wise: wee-bit of strategizing, some plot, another character added (official this time), strategizing, then BATTLE with more BATTLE on top of BATTLE with a dash of BATTLE and some sprinkling of PLOT and MOAR CHARACTERS with a light seasoning of REFERENCES and more PLOT all served with a fine helping of FINAL BOSS!!!

It’ll be fun. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go play some SA2… especially since I somehow ended up deleting my save file.
