Hi everyone!

Well alright I finally got (most) of my college/future/happy stress time/ out of the way and while I'm here I'll take a moment to sit down and talk about what I'm working on. Now most of the things that you see when you click on my DA page is not very impressive. I don't have any fancy CSS or five million comments or some pretty ribbon thing around my headlines. But I can tell you what it all comes down to is an artist's work, not the first impression.

Anyway, I think it's time to reviel a tiny bit about my story ideas for TLH. For anyone who might be wondering what it contains, here's a few sneak peeks. The 'test title' (which can change ay any moment) Is Star Ocean: Origins. Star Ocean: Origins will take place anywhere from 300 years, to mere hours before the events of TLH in the shoes of the game's characters and others who accompony (spellcheck?) them. The story itself is a main hub, and different stories will brranch off of that hub in different branches. Mostly because if you take Edge, and, I don't know, Bacchus, their previous life stories (and that of their parents, etc.) are ...different.

Anyway, my 'current' plans for this project at this moment is focusing on Faize. Star Ocean: Origins is still an experiement, so I'm not going to garuntee every character will get a story.

For the moment I'm focusing on Faize. Yes, there will be a lot of writing about Eldar, yes it will be about Eldar, yes it will be about the Eldarians.

Keep in mind that storylines for other characters are not being brainstormed at the moment and probably won't unless this really takes off.

Oh, and I'm happy to reviel that is working on this with me, as editor and advisor, she's been a great help so far so give her credit where credit is due and expect some magic to be happening soon.

(Keep in mind I have a life and if it gets in the way updates might be delayed. When I release the first chapter I will update every two weeks but don't be surprised if there's not an update on the second week, something might have happened to prevent it, anything from the apocolypse to be having a writer's block)

So, that's the news on that.

In other news, my original story, Tales of the Ancients, the ancient tale of an alternate universe through the eyes of Markyos Mephalis, is NOT DEAD, BUT INACTIVE. It's going through MAJOR reconstruction and revisions. Don't expect any updates but know that IT IS NOT DEAD.

Hello all. If anyone is reading this, I apolgoize for my extended absence. I needed a lot of time off of DA. Both to figure out what I want in life and how to achieve it. I didn't feel like I needed to go here and belong here, because I felt like I wasn't needed here. i don't know what the future holds for me on this site, but, I'm still willing to try to push myself ahead and become a prominent member of this community.


I'm still writing TotA. I just went through some major revamps of the plot and the prologue. I apologize for that too, but I haven't given up on it, I just went through a writer's block so large that I changed a lot of things about it. WHen I am ready for the public to view it I will be releasing information panels about the timeline and storyline, and then finally, the story.


I am also thinking about working on a prologue to Star Ocean: The Last Hope, that will take place appromixatly 10-5 years in the past. I will update if I reason that this topic is ... not so contraversial that I don't get hate mail if I decide to write this.


Take care, guys. I'll be stalking you.

Yep. My summer starts I believe May 22-23. I can't wait. My spring play is over so I can finally say that I'm going to start writing again. Expect updates now. Also, I'm going to be co-hosting contest, so check that out when you have the chance.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm starting a new story about the huge gap intertwining with my character Markyos's past. It's called Tales of the Ancient and it's a pretty big project so far, as I have schemed. Background info is on my featured article. I recommend you read that to get a short history lesson before you dive into the first part of the prologue, which I will post tomorrow. The prologue is around 100,000 before the 'resent' day. The main story is around 200-150,000 years before present day.

Inspiration list:
Star Wars
Elder Scrolls Oblivion
Tales of Vesperia
Star Fox

Enjoy. All ya guys know I never die.

Hello everyone, just another update to my journal.

I'm doing the spring play this year, which is why I've been lacking in updates (that and I got a new MMO and the Spring 360 game rush)part 5 of the Prologue of TotA is the last one before I move onto the real story. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP OUT IN ANY WAY,(PICTURES, MAPS, COLORFUL CCS..) SEND ME A NOTE ON HERE OR COMMENT ON MY JOURNAL and we will discuss it.

Also, if anyone knows any good sites to post this story on, note me and inform me. When I write enough I'd like to submit my story to them(s).

Good day everyone!
