Story Schedule Updates

[MessengerOfDreams]

Hey all! This is a new topic in which you post how your story writing and posting is going to work regarding the readers. I'll post mine now.

I've recently started a new story, am developing another new story, and have decided to revamp an old idea of mine I got 4 chapters in. Also, an old favorite is going into an official temporary close.

First off, regarding Strings. On both Fanfiction.net and Runouw.com, it's been a nice hit, getting great reviews. A fanfiction revolving around Luigi, it follows said character, Snake, Meta Knight and a mysterious harpist as they fight to stop a new evil. A simple concept, that, I'd like to say, is done well. I will be updating this roughly every week, perhaps more often if my muses allow. The story itself will take up about 15 to 20 well-sized chapters, so it should be finished at the end of Summer at the latest.

Second, as I have mentioned a few times, I am currently producing the layout and first chapter of a new forum story, The Rebel Warriors (Title Pending). The story will follow MessengerOfDreams (myself, yes), AnimalLover, two original characters, and Myst as the warriors, and Geoff, an 18 year old who has absolutely no memory of the past year who was found in a recently abandoned enemy hospital the Warriors raided. During that past year, in the vast internet world, Pokefarm has taken over Runouw.Com and it is now completely in Kolink's control (based on a passing rumor that she was trying to sue Runouw.com). Fighting has mostly stopped but MoD's group of the Rebel Warriors is one of many small guerrilla groups trying to win back freedom for Runouw. The staff, save for MoD, has gone missing, and MoD says that once a moderator, global moderator, level moderator, user represenative, honorary member, chat moderator and the admin, Runouw himself, all are together, they can access a secret room in which an object known as "The Plot Device" will bring a solution to the war, and was kept for emergencies by Runouw himself. The Rebel Warriors must find all the necessary staff in order to obtain this device, and the end of the war.

This is going to be sort of a sandbox story for me-to test different ideas, characters and other such things. So this will be updated on my own time-not on a schedule. Rest assured, it will be epic still.

And as for the resurrected story, I am glad to announce that since I am thinking about my future and stuff, and what story of mine, started, finished or not, I wanted to work on or submit to a publisher, I decided that I was going to complete Daily, my story from spring of 2010. I decided this because I thought it'd be simplest to complete, but a very good story to have as my introduction work. Also, it's a bit sentimental. I didn't ever mention this, but this was my first idea I ever took seriously-or at least fragments of it were. David Domingo, back when I was 11 or 12, was my first main character ever, and Isabel my first ever villain. My story was by no means great or anywhere near, but it was 4 years later I decided to actually do something big with it. (Extra Tidbit-The Replenishers was established somewhere after-but I will not be pursuing that idea any longer.)

For those of you who have never read it, 1) Do so. Now and 2) It follows police officer David Domingo, a native of a town originated as a Sanctum for loyal and dedicated Christians but has since been populated mostly by other people of different religions or dedication level to religion. A police officer in the city, misnomered as Project City, is usually something you'd never see, since the town stays remarkably crime-free, but over the past decade, a serial killer, Isabel Dion, has brought a horrific yet time-oriented wave of crime every 5 years and establishing light crime around the city at other times. Dion has murdered one of the Christians every day-same way of death, same place. One of these victims was David's wife. She's only been caught once, and escaped immediately after despite heavy injuries. But when one day a new killer strikes in town, David is forced to work with the one person he hates most-Isabel.

Now this was going smoothly, but right around the time I was fading out of my own religion *wave of R.E.M. jokes hits me* Great. Now I'm an emo. *is shot* I'm glad I did it, but it was a painful process, and I wanted nothing to do with religion, so I left Daily alone. I looked back recently and realized I totally had no dead ends in the story and had a clear path to the finish line. I want to complete it.

But this will be updated less often than other stories. I want to make sure I have each chapter perfect. This will most likely be updated bi-weekly, but should have around 12 or 13 chapters, so it, too, should be finished during Summer (I have completed 4 chapters so far, although those will be touched up, too.)

As for stories I will be putting on hold, I am sad to say that Legacy will be put on hold for an undetermined amount of time. I've hit sort of a dead end to it and want to focus on my other stories. This will be completed, even if just for the forum, due to the massive popularity and critical reception of it but probably not till Summer/Fall.

As for The Runouw Connection, a story I long said I published, in the long term the story will be completely renovated as Double Life. It will follow the same premise, but with a completely different plot structure. It may or not take place on Runouw.Com, and will most likely start late in the year. Be warned-this will be an insanely long term project. It may not be finished in most of your forum lives. (or before 2012 for that matter. XD)

And on a finishing note, my first fanfiction, Words and Action, has gotten massive praise on Fanfiction.net, and I get a lot of people telling it's gonna either place or win. Sadly, here on Runouw, I've gotten one review. (Also glowing.) Check it out today! Pledge your support! Read it here- the copy on the site has a massive chunk missing that I added on to the fanfiction version where Falco and Peach star instead of human characters. But comment and review here.

Well, that's my schedule. Feel free to comment with questions and post your own update schedules.

Cheers!

Well, first things first. I started a story called Runouw.com in the Subspace Emissary (now known as The Runouw Emissary) back in May of 2010. It's the story about some Runouw.com members that get sucked into The Subspace Emissary (Adventure Mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl), and they go through it. I recently finished it (from the help of ShadowTheBowser, who linked me to some cutscene videos that I used to write the story), and I'm waiting for some reviews and comments. You can read the story here.

While RitSE/TRE was in production, I started a new story called Super Mario 64 Real a while back (It's now known as My adventure in Super Mario 64), and I've gotten pretty far. It's this story about a guy named Mark (Age 13) who is riding his bike back home when he sees another kid wreck into a ditch. He helps the boy out and takes him home. The next day, his mom tells him that he is invited to a party and allowed to bring one friend. He decides to take the other boy (his name is Luis) along, and they head to a place called River Mansion. The party is about them winning a Super Mario 64 speed run competition, and they were so excited that they asked an expert painter they knew to paint replicas of all the paintings in Super Mario 64. For some reason the paintings became magical, and you could jump through them and go to the courses of Super Mario 64! Mark gets turned into Mario, and Luis gets turned into Luigi (notice the reason I picked those names? ), and they are on a mission to collect all the stars. You can read that story here.

While I was writing SM64R/MAiSM64, I had thought of a sequel to it. You can see the list in the topic, which I will provide a link to at the bottom of this paragraph. So, I hit upon the idea to do Super Mario Sunshine. I'm not very far into it (it's mainly just something I write on if I wanted to write on a 'real' story, but didn't want to write on MAiSM64. I'll hopefully get into writing more soon. You can read MAiSMS here.

Last but not least, I wanted to create a Runouw's Forums story. So I had this great idea, and sent it to SupahMarioX, who offered to help me write it. I'm not sure if we've settled on a permanent title, but as of now, it's called "The Runouwlutionary War". Here's a summary: It was a normal day in Runouw City, but something didn't seem quite right to Suyo. He had been patrolling the streets every day for the past three months, but nothing unusual happened, which worried him. Fourinone confronted him twice about it, and Suyo finally cracked, telling him that he was worried that since there hadn't been any spammers or spambots lately, they might be building an army to attack Runouw City. Suyo and Four go tell Runouw of this, and they organize an event to test the skills of some select few members of Runouw City, just to see who has potential to join the Runouw Force, which is the army that Runouw, Suyo, and Fourinone are forming to attack any spammer/spambot army. You can read TRW here.

Hmm...where to begin...chapter 5 of the Void Conspiracy will be out in around 2-3 weeks. I'm busy, and I know that doesn't cut it for some of you. But, as crazy as it seems, I do have a life outside of Runouw. If you are curious about checking out the story then you can find the link in my signature. The story's skeleton is based around an alien takeover of Earth, but the aliens aren't just randomly terrorizing people like most of us visualize the scenario. Their planet was destroyed, and now, in order to survive, they've located the nearest life-sustainable planet, Earth. It's been getting great reviews so far, so take a gander when you get the chance.

As for other story information, I am crafting the plot to a new one that will be out this summer. If you've been wondering what the hell my avatar is, now you know. "Press Start" is the name of the upcoming story. Basically, it's a teenager who has just discovered the newest and most popular gaming trend. Let's just say that his first test run might be his last. Hope you'll like it! Oh, and one other thing regarding "Press Start"...would you guys like this to be a forum story where I use usernames, actual names of users, or not a forum story at all? I'm leaving it up to you. PM me what you would like to see in action!

I decided to release Press Start early. As in, today. April 5, 2011

Alright cool topic LETS DO THIS!!

Random Stories- I guess when im feeling random and feel like making people laugh or mad then ill post one. But getting a random fighting epic doom fight story out of me is like making Chuck Norris cry....
VG MADNESS- After I finish Jello Story Im going to start this one. I feel this one will be awesome since Im a video Game freak and Im going to include 12 users from the chat. Basically they go to different dimension beating video games in "UNIQUE" way and fighting the bosses at the end. Your personalities will not be on how you act on chat so thats why when you read it (if you ever do) you will be like WTF!?
Jello's Last Story- Yeah this is my big one. I finished writing it since Im running out of ideas. But I shall continue it WHEN Jello posts his new chapter Its about Jello going to find his old clan leader (RED) and kill him to rescue his family. On the way he finds allies, enemies, old enemies and allies and MANY MANY DEATHS. GO READ IT NOW MORTAL
fours noob adventure- I will start this when I continue VG Madness. It starts four as the main character and Ven is his helper. He is a breakdancing bunny. Dont ask me why But THATS WHAT HE SHALL BE! Anyways he also has help from me (the narrator) and things might go wrong for four Good Luck young one.
Red Vs you- I need more people to have story battles with me I only have MOD, Jello, and Remmy even though Mod and Remmy were both random as BAWLS and did not have any detail at all. Heres what you would be missing- MOD- *************************YOU ********. Remmy- COWBELLNEEDSMOARCOWBELL..... :3


viewtopic.php?f=27&t=10906 <------ To see my stories. I HAVE CANDY INSIDE!!!

[Chaukai]

Nya~? Story? Hmm... Well... I've only had one story I've solely been working on, which is my work on VAGs. Well, you see, I'm still working on it, but no new chapters will be out until the Story Portal is finished. I wanna have it so that my chapters aren't a jumbled mess inside a really long thread, and the story portal is a perfect way to organize it all! :3

As for the story itself, this is actually going to be part of a 2-3 book series. Oh yes. You heard me. I have many many plans for this story Nya~. The end of this story I've already got planned in my head, but the middle is still slightly choppy, although it's starting to pull together. So! I shall be typing furiously, you guys just wait. :3

Storys? Meh. I'll make a list of the three.

The Fourth Wall Kid: Just a side project I update randomly. Don't really know. Find the link in my sig, the OHEMJEE FOURTH WALL BREAKING STORY thing.

Day In The Life Of (or DitLo): Kinda my main project right now. I'll see if I can do a person every week, but I need wacky things to happen, or the user to have a quirk. Runouw's the admin, I'd obviously do one of myself, and I'm pretty wierd, DMX/SMX swears a LOT, and Doram's hardly on, so I portrayed him as sleeping all the time. Lol Sleeping Doram.

The Runouw Chronicles: Avo tells me he did a story called that, but it never picked up. And I searched after I posted it, but only found my own topic. The Runouw Chronicles is half DitLo, half all the other stories based on the forums. Meh. Anyways, this is the project I'm most hopeful on, as most other Runouw stories are hits. Just check out Zunar's TRE. I'll try to update 1. Daily, or 2. Weekly.

That's it.

[Chaukai]

Oh, by the way, Chapter 17 of VAG is already done and editted. Bwahaha, but none of you get to see it!

EDIT: CHapter 18. TOTALLY meant Chapter 18. Chapter 17 is already out, ehehe.

[Zunar]

Except me, because I was the one who edited it. Ha ha!

[Panik!]

I'm starting to write again...and while Press Start got me excited about a new story...I'm starting over again

Jigsaw is the title. Look for it out soon

[*Emelia K. Fletcher]

Okay, since most of my stories got blammed and sunk without a trace, I've only got four right now. Lemme list them.

Four Minutes: My second story, currently stalled, but I have a good idea for it. I'll have it written down later, when I'm finished with my idea for...
Digital Dimensional Destruction: My main priority right now. Me and Zunar discussed an idea, and currently Notepad is useful.
Triple Trouble: Really, it's actually kinda a long shot. I may update this in the future, but for now, don't hope (if you hoped at all.)
Happenings In Gensokyo: Touhou fanfic, and in the works. Next chapter up in about a week or two.

There.

Oh, and Zunar seemed pretty surprised I was brainstorming on four stories at the same time. Hey, look at MoD, he's got about 8 stories up in a month.
