Love gundam and MOST things mecha and Halo

And thats it for know.

You know I did kind of liked gundam 00 O.K but it just not the old UC gundam. The whole premise of 00 is stopping war and that, to me, is a childish notion. War is very human, a dark aspect mind you, but still human. And trying to omit that aspect is like fighting you DNA and when you fight a part of your self then you always louse(got that form lord of war check it out its pretty good). What I liked about the UC cannon was that the characters weren't trying to stop war out right they were trying to win it. The viewer saw Amuro's struggle in the original Mobile Suit Gundam. They saw his pain when he lost friends and comrads to the Zion war machine.

Another thing about Amuro was his actual EFFORT. Durring Amuro and Char first engagement, Char completely dominated Amuro. The only thing that saved Amuro was the superior specs of the gundam.But as the battles continued to get harder he just got better and actually starts to outpace the gundam's reaction time and has to retrofit the suit. My point is that UC gundam series (excluding anything after F91, things just got weird after that) showed effort and the pilots relied more on skill and heart whereas gundam 00 relies more on technology. The gundam pilots of 00 cant hold a candle to the UC and for that matter even Wing showed good pilots.

I didn't want to just put the next chapter status that's pretty boring to me. So With every status update I will include some of my thoughts. This time I chose to do a little fanfiction rant. This week we will be discussing one of my pet peeves and that is The Chatty Kathy. Whats a Chatty Kathy you ask. Well a Chatty Kathy is when a character in a fanfiction, most prevalent in crossovers, is when one of the characters goes into another world they tell the other party from that universe everything about them. For example, there was this korra/halo crossover I loved at first but this story had a lot of Chatty Kathy in it. The story involved a Spartan 3 from one of my all time favorite halo evolutions stories and he told everyone in Korra's gang everything about him. He told them about the spartans, unsc, the less then moral ways they came to be EVERYTHING! It just betrays the idea of what a spartan is. They are tier one military assets for god sake they wouldn't tell some random stranger top secret information like that. The characters should have learned about him from his actions not his words. They should've seen what he could do and the reader should see the avatar gang come to the realization that something was seriously off about that spartan 3. Then they would have come to a cross road and then the characters would be like fuck it we're not going one more step until you tell me what the hell you are. But that's just me.

Of course there is a right way to do Chatty Kathy however. My all time favorite story Gohan's dilemma is one of those stories. In the first chapter team 7 saved Gohan when he crash landed in the Naruto world. The team patched him up and Kakashi promptly questioned Gohan and the latter answered all of his questions; he didn't tell them everything though. But you see that's expected. Kakashi is a seasoned veteran and he knows that knowledge is power, so he gathered as much information as he could on the young saiyan and that makes absolute sense. Kakashi's decision to interrogate Gohan didn't betray any of Kakashi's character traits.

I know Chatty Kathy is a good way to introduce a character from a different world to another franchise but it ultimately comes off as lazy writing to me. That's enough bitching from this up and coming author, I got a trig final to study till next time guys! Next time of course being when I get past this phase.

Sorry about the lack of updates guys. I've been really busy with school and final exams for a while. The story is coming along nicely and it should be posted this month. The Rough Draft really took me a while and its going to be a long one. I just hope I got everyone character down (Really having trouble with Korra personality. Having a hard time balancing her arrogant brash nature with her softer side.)

Currently on (Publishing Phase)

I just wanted to let you know that there will be an update today. I just had to get some sleep so I wouldn't end up oversleeping again. I feel lazy when I wake up in the afternoon you know. So anyway I skipped a few steps, namely the beta reader thing and the second draft phase. I felt like I did a better job on the draft and a final draft wouldn't be necessary. Plus my printer is out of ink and I'm low on cash. Santa stool my wallet and bought gifts with it. Anyway this chapter might be a little rougher then usual (Sorry anonymous I tried) but I think I got the feel I wanted from it in the first couple takes. AGAIN UPDATE DEFINITELY COMING TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Currently on (Publishing/Edit Phase)

This chapter really taught me to trim some of the fat off once in a while. I feel that I added too much to normal story line. While I do feel that it make the story feel more alive and all but hey I'll let you be the judge of that. On to today's thought and that is Rules of the Crossover. All I read on this site is crossover fanfiction. I always found it interesting to see how two characters interact from different continuities. That being said some crossovers are so bad that they become unreadable to me. They aren't bad in a sense of crappy writing mind you but by the content of the story. Anyway one rule of mine is that the crossover has to make sense if its going to have a serious tone. I wouldn't crossover my little pony with halo at any time. Don't get me wrong you can crossover any story under the sun but the crazier the combination the harder it is to sell to a reader. The crossovers I like the most art the ones that fit together the best. Halo/mass effect bleach/dbz, dbz/naruto are a few examples. That's my criteria for a good crossover anyway. I'm typing up chapter 8 now and it should be done around today or tomorrow. Hope you like it, its going to be a big chapter. I'll give an explanation as to why it took me so long to update. Believe me its several good reasons. Take care and God Bless.

Currently on (Second Draft Phase)

So after several...distractions the ball has started rolling with the next chapter. I had a fit of writers block on a fight scene but I finally worked something out and I'm pretty happy how it turned out. Anyway on to the thought. When does a series need to end. There are plenty of examples of a series ending perfectly and dragging out way past their expiration dates. Naruto is ending this year and its about time. I think this happens because the authors focus too much on the premiss of the story instead of the ending. Maybe they use it as an incentive to get the producers to keep on producing. A story ends perfectly when the writer thinks of the ending ahead of time. Stories like Fullmetal Alchemist and X-Men Evo had solid endings. I think that because they planed their endings ahead of time, that way the story can stand on its own and not being prolonged. But hey what do I know, I'm just a guy who writes fanfiction.

-Still writing up the rough draft so no new info with the story. I'm just posting this interesting read in the youtube comments section of all things. So here you go.

I use the commenting sections all over the net to spread the word online hoping to encourage the thousands out there as outraged as myself to do the same voicing about how it's due to the wasteful and impractical mistakes like discounting the fundamentals of quality storytelling sacrificing creative integrity in exchange for promoting more cheaper lowbrow aspects instead that hinder enduring varieties of stimulating animated programming leaving inferior productions that use more excess of stagnant, vulgar, and flashy material registering as a dismal memory in the long term not worth recalling much less collecting later on in life.
If that habit doesn't change that grade of entertainment is all we'll ever get both here in present day America and following generations too. Who needs THAT?!
We all face our favorites coming to an end someday, but we anticipate new shows taking their place to be similar in terms of maintaining quality, if not somehow become an improved idea for entertainment too.
We remember the past to refine the present to make way for a more enlightened future. The very definition of "Enlightenment" and "Evolution."
We must hold bad creators accountable for the garbage they introduce into the world and support the more compellingly profound productions refusing to allow them to be shamefully wasted by valuing cheap deadpan marketing means more than regularity of significant potential dynamics endearing for generations opening up new possibility reflected into different formats. It's part of the reason a great and refined show like "Young Justice," was forcibly cancelled when it had so much potential to offer now gone to a sickening waste.

Creators in the present have no real excuse for introducing such substandard material when they have more refined technology at their disposal today.
Until the last few years in the first decade stretching into the present, creators knew the importance of balancing comprehensive insight with the arbitrarily spontaneous challenging the audience to be actively interested using abundant well-rounded layers of thought designed into their creations.
Prior to the New Millenium, originality was at an all time high branching out to where anyone from kids to adults could enjoy the captivating actions. In the first decade of the New Millenium, that principle was maintained while captivating on the refined style of artwork and technology available forming new franchises enduring for years with potential of their own. Things were good as both generations tested their limits opening greater possibility without sacrificing creative integrity.
Now that balance has dramatically shifted to one side where now they simply cheapen everything with lazy random actions while going through dejected motions not even worth the effort. The answer should never have been to pander to the ignorance of their audience surrounding them with more of it on every network essentially turning American television into a wasteland.
You don't counteract stupidity with MORE stupidity!

Instead, they should've surrounded them with the more sophisticated and actively stimulating productions maintaining the integrity of progressive innovation the way it needs to be to actually work on each network giving the audience no other choice but to accept it while keeping the more arbitrary and superficial types acting at the minor levels of daily programming.
You need to know better so everyone else will learn to know better too!
THIS show fell short of that fundamental objective for reasons I've already declared in the past. Not all ideas are good simply for being new!
Where once there were dozens of franchises a few years apart to choose from there remains only a handful at a time instead. It keeps getting smaller as the few remaining franchises with real potential are cancelled before their time for cheaper productions which can only result in a serious backlash defeating the purpose altogether post actions they can't take back now.
The previous Marvel installments always had more to offer in terms of having a wider cast of characters, branching in-depth storylines, and overall creative integrity. But today, the abstract action cartoon is going extinct because of how all networks are overloading with more superficial, arbitrary, and lowbrow productions like this getting worse each year. They're much more limp and crude in activity with weak, ill-timed, often out of sync dialogue. Networks overloaded with programs directed with this type of layout level are the ones who killed the meaningful abstract action style of production dramatically lowering standards of integrity in storytelling quality keeping anymore from being created for the present. And if left unchecked it will be the same for the future too.
Some have argued that Marvel shows today are just a marketing means to encourage this new generation of kids to read the comics. Except they fail to take into consideration that perhaps the kids will realize how much they're being ripped off in terms of quality when they notice how significantly superior the content of ced comics are compared to the animated programs today, unlike their predecessors.
Look past the flashy graphics and what you'll find underneath is anything but substantial or worth absorbing illustrating just how worthless their efforts truly are. Wouldn't surprise me if deep down they knew about that too. It doesn't surprise me, however, how clearly they don't think it over as often as they should though. They need to get a clue and realize this production pandering to the ignorance of its audience takes up space costing the chances for the more in-depth abstract types in America that actually have the potential to stimulate the viewers insight to realize more worthwhile creative possibility. In the end this flashy mess will simply fade into obscurity like a bad memory of something fruitless and unnecessary.

Marvel Animation's error in judgement with the contents of their lineup acting much like an infection spreading far rooting itself deep will only bring future negative repercussions limiting their audience by alienating their connection with the greater majority unlike their predecessors. That's just shameful. Not to mention incredibly stupid given that fiercely trivial tactic limits long term potential of the franchise in question in more ways than one. And if THIS is the best the creators can manage after 3 seasons of noise and flash from "Ultimate Spiderman" it's evident they're not only scraping at the bottom of the barrel anymore. They've broken through the bottom entirely on their way to burying themselves underground!
An elementary student could come up with better material than THEM. What's their excuse, huh?
These idiots followed along with the meaningless, self-destructive, lowbrow standards the networks set from their limited and condescending interpretation of the intended audience's expectations helping only to add to the growing problem with the entertainment industry today instead of attempting to buildup more significant creative productions with compelling stories and iconic characters. If it's a matter of profit there's all that and much more when you maintain the fundamentals of layered storytelling without having to hang up your integrity taking the "easy" way out. People respect and look toward those whom have more vivid quality to offer than the lazy ones relying on what's become uninspired and convenient.
What's convenient isn't always what's best.

One can only hope creators will learn to strive for more refined and substantial animation in the future. Saying nothing is another way of enabling them to keep making the same mistakes all over again because we let them think what they're doing is okay when it isn't. We need to keep reminding creators today of how important it is to never downgrade or neglect meaningful abstract innovative creativity. We deserve better. We had better up until now. And there is very little excuse to accept they could be capable of any less when they have so much more at their disposal.

I won't forgive them nor any like them for ever overlooking that critical fact!
When did they ever think it was okay to stop trying?!

Alright I'm finally on to typing this mother. I'm hoping to get it done today or tomorrow.

Currently on (First Draft Phase)

This desperately needed progress report is brought to you by Coldblue. When you get super lazy and forget to address you're readers he or she will be there to get you back on track. (Seriously coldblue sorry for keeping you and the others hanging like that)

To be more specific I'm currently writing the closing fight scene with Spider-Man and team two (Hanzo and Lou) and heading into the climax of this arch. It will be a shocker to say the least but I planned it well and it should roll onto the paper so I don't feel it should take that long to type it up. Honestly I had the most trouble with the outline. Had to make a lot of decisions on how it would end. Does Peter fight this guy or run, is he captured does he escape. And the details and the effing dialog! Anyway got work in the morning. Thank you and goodnight!!!!!

Currently on (Publishing Phase)

O.K this chapter man this freaking chapter. I had to duck across several hurtles, both mental and physical but I finally got it done. I should get this in your inbox either by Sunday night ( not likely) or Wednesday (more likely). Lot of realization in the climax of this arc and Peter won't be the same and that's all your going to get out of me. Honestly I'm a blabber mouth if you pm me so if you want spoilers you know where to come.

Alright so this crappy surface lost my epic rant on book 4 which is extremely aggravating. This draft may lack some potency but the message will be the same.

Lets start with a minor gripe shall we. The unanswered questions for starters. Here's a short list. What happened to Sokka, June, or Skuki? What was the Fire Nation like after the hundred year war? What was the Fire Lord (Zuko's kid) like? All of these answers were left unresolved and I was bummed they didn't even try to answer them and that left me bummed. Like this train of thought. Its late guys and I need to catch some zzz guys. I finish out when you get the update email. Peace!

Currently on (Rough Draft Phase)

Alright its been a while but I'm finally on to the next phase. I worked on the story whenever I could but work and school was taking up most of my time. I'll get to the meat of the story when the finals are behind me. It's mostly a talking chapter. A lot of things need to be addressed and It's as good a time as any to flesh out some characters and work.

On to the thought. I have never gone to 100% with something to saying the hell with it until I came across an anime simply called GATE. Its a story about the jdf going into a fantasy world and all the drama that comes with it. I loved every second of it up until they took the fantasy characters to the modern world. The jdf, Japan in general actually, just took something that could have been an interesting bit of story and instead decided to give themselves a pat on the back. The most egregious part was the scene where jdf special forces made every other geopolitical superpower nation look like a bunch of rank amateurs in combat and politics. The JDF special forces essentially whip the floor with with Russian, American, and Chinese spec ops units. I can suspend my belief pretty fare but with the shows context I just couldn't do it. The story really digs into America for some reason which is odd since the two nations are allies. And to top it all off they were all whipped out by the resident loli goddess and her absurdly large axe (oddly didn't bother me). The teams walk in on each other like some like a freaking scooby doo plot and proceed to waste each other. I'll admit that I bleed red white and blue and that my bias did make things a bit worse. But I can look past all that and see that it's just poor writing. The author missed out on several possible story elements that would have been a hell of a lot better then what we got. Instead he decided to stroke his nationalism and turn the story on its head. Why couldn't the CIA have intercepted the Russian and Chinese communications and try to intervene. They wouldn't have had time to tell the JDF or they couldn't trust there communication Channels. They go to the complex where the high value targets are being held and are intercepted by the JDF. They trade fire for a bit but they stop once they realize who they are. I don't know something like that would have been more believable then what was ultimately shown. Anyway I dropped the anime after that arc. It's a shame really because like a said, I was really digging what I was seeing. The main character was a likable adult, firearms where treated well (in that they actually work) and I got to see what would happen if a sword and shield army tried to take on a mechanized/modern army (not a pretty sight for the former). Oh well, at least if can hold this up and show anybody what happens when you flaunt your bias (national or otherwise) and how it slowly destroys a great story with loads of potential. Again, I loved it but that little bit I was talking about just came off as mean spirited and had nothing to do with advancing the plot. At least in my eyes.

Well I'm done for now. You guys should get an update notification around this month. I tried to get this out sooner but I severely underestimated the awesome power that turkey day has over work ethics.

Currently on (Publishing Phase)

Alright alright ALRIGHT. Finally done with the write up and boy it was a mother to finish. I'll try to finish typing it up this week (around Tue or Wed). I got to say a lot of things went down that flat out halted production. Crazy work schedule, entertaining relatives (Lots of Halo with my little cousin) A health scare (thought it was a stroke but it was just bell's palsy, THANK GOD!) and finally a knee sprain. My luck is just amazing.

Well I don't really have a thought to go with this status update. Did really good in school...works going ok...I'm saving up for a new car (split between a gen coupe, 370z, or a g35) Ummmm...Now I'm just grasping for straws at this point. Anyway hope nothing comes and gum up this update. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas (Holidays if you want to be PC BRO) and a happy New Year. Till next time.

Currently on (First draft/outline Phase)

Been on this one for a while actually. I'm starting strong and I'm really trying to get the wording down for the intro. The rest of the chapter shouldn't be too hard to map after that since I got a pretty good idea of where I want to go with this update.

On to the thought. Now I gave a lot of thought to Peter's personality and traits before I started this story and I'd like to share my take on the character and how he differs from (Amazing/616) Spider-Man. The first and most obvious difference is Noir setting. You see unlike main stream marvel which is set along the current time the stories are published the 1930s, and the early part of the twentieth century for the most part, was a rough time for America and I feel that Noir's playbook reflects that. Noir doesn't have the patience or experience that Amazing has. This version of Peter lives in a time where men would handle their problems with fists ('You want to take this outside bub?'). It was kind of like an unspoken agreement of savagery outlined with civility (they would trade blows but stop when one of them yelled uncle). Both version's of the two weren't physical specimens prior to getting their powers. In Noir's case he had to stand up for himself because that was the norm of the time whereas Amazing would just resend or keep to himself for the most part. The parents and guardians would sum up two boys fighting in the playground as 'boys being boys' and ultimately dismiss it.

That's it for now folks I'll continue this thought when I'm on the next phase. It's getting late and I got work in the morning and family coming over. I'm going to try to get the next update done before the end of May, that's when I start summer school and lord knows my free time going to be strangled once again.

PS: I'm on xbox live from time to time so if anyone want's to play halo or whatever just PM me (Don't feel comfortable posting my gamertag to a bunch of strangers and getting my inbox spammed to hell.) Till next time guys and gals, stay golden.

Currently on (Rough Draft Phase)

Just so you all know I've been on this phase for a while now. I just haven't had the chance to update the profile until now. No excuses just facts. Been having a little trouble juggling school, work, and the story for a few weeks. Physics 1 kicking the crap out of me in all honesty I'm all good honestly. I've been in similar situations, worse actually, and come out on top and I know I can do it again. But enough about me. Like I've said, I've been working on the (rough draft/ write up) phase for a while now. I'm real satisfied with the outline and I think it will be pretty enjoyable in I get to publishing the thing. But like the outline, the intro giving me some trouble. Not surprising really, it was a head scratcher in the outline phase too. Once I get through that though the rest of the chapter should come out smoothly.

On to the thought. I discussed the differences between Spider-Man Noir and Amazing Spider-Man and focused on their different setting. One was from the 30s while the other will always be set in the present. Now I want to take a crack at their psyche. The two hero's most defining moment was the murder of Ben Parker. Now as everybody knows by now, Amazing's uncle gets killed by a mugger that he let get away. As a result that version of Peter held himself responsible for his death. He aims all those thoughts of doubt and shame at himself for the most part and its been shown through out the years. He always blames himself for bad things that happen to his loved ones and friends because of his heroics. I feel that most of this self blame is miss guided really. You can't take responsibility for every miss step or bad decision in life. Bad things happen and there's nothing anyone can do to stop that. Now Noir is a completely different story. Unlike his 616 counterpart. His Uncle Ben's murder was senseless, unnecessary, and extremely violent. There was one panel in the Noir mini-series where Ben's open chest cavity flashed through Peter eyes before gunning down the vulture (Story Hint right there). So this Peter Parker had no where to point his blame and anger. He wasn't responsible for Ben's murder and this is why I think this version of Peter is much more explosive and impulsive than his mainstream counterpart. He rushes into fight the Triple Threats on his first night in Republic City, and falls for multiple traps laid out for him because he felt that immediate action was required. (This is also a nod the the game as he fell for traps a lot of times) This was alluded to in his Pai-sho duel with you know who a few chapters ago. And believe me this will be confronted (not addressed) in the upcoming update. It's his own weakness and he needs to overcome it if he's going to battle the bigger threats coming to the Avatar world.

O.K that it for the thought. I'm going to try to write as much as I can with the little time I have. I have no intentions of abandoning this story. I'm just stubborn like that.

PS: persin- This isn't half-life three dude. This will get updated eventually, Swearsies.

Currently on (Publishing Phase)

Alright got a good start typing up the update. It'll take a few days ( You've heard that one right) but I'll spend time on it when I can. I'm satisfied with how this one turned out and I think you guys will too. Revelations here, a big surprise there, all in all good stuff.

On to the thought . I saw the Luke Cage show and the short and sweet of it is that it had a good intro and camera work was all out ( That style man) but it ultimately turned into a chore to watch and I ended up dropping it around the Sea Gate flashback episode. It got real preachy and Luke came off as an invincible marry sue. It just felt like there weren't any major threats that could actually hurt him. They just keep trying to shoot him and failing. It's the same reason I'm not a superman fan. I don't know maybe it's just me. I might give it a second chance in the future.

Currently on (Outline Phase)

Okay I'm well rested and my heads screwed on straight. Taking a semester off and boy did I need it. But enough about me. The outline flowing like hot butter guys. Had a little hick-up towards the start, I never was good at intro's, but it was off to the races after that. I'll save the thought for later since I really don't have one at the moment so the status update will have to do for now. I'll probably have more to say in the next phase. Take care!

Currently on (Rough Draft Phase)

Alright, on to writing this mother and as always I'm having a hard time figuring out where to start. No biggie, it happens all the time. Any who I don't really have a thought to add to this phase update but I do have some story ideas I'd like to share. I do want to start branching out to a second story to change out my creative pallet this year. Make no mistake, HOF has priority but I don't want to be a one trick pony either. So here's a few of those story ideas I was referring to.

(Iron Man/Young Justice crossover): Been sitting on this one for a while now. It's basically Tony Orison Scott Card's Ultimate Iron Man graphic novels with some of the Ultimate marvel stuff in the mix. He's a good fit for young justice and there's already some reality jumping elements in the ultimate continuity (Tony Stark-242) So I wouldn't have to poof anyone to another reality without reason. Tony would mix things up like crazy and would get the league's attention. I could elaborate on it more but I want to keep these descriptions brief.

(Drifter/Halo crossover): This ones a little bit out there but it can work. I saw the anime last summer and I freaking loved every second of it. I tried my damndest to not read ahead in the manga and failed miserably. I really dig the concept of 'dead' warriors, generals, outlaws, and revolutionaries getting plucked from time and drafted to a war that a strange desk clerk made them fight. So I thought, why not add some halo characters god knows they got a lot of dead bad asses that could answer the call and get a second shot at glory.

(Halo/Star Wars Rebels): I remember seeing previews of Rebels on youtube and thinking that it wouldn't amount to much. Disney had the rights and I was soured by thought of Avengers Assemble and Ultimate Spider-Man (We all know how they turned out) so my expectations were extremely low during the start. I saw the first episode, then the forth, then the eighth...of season 2, Alright I was wrong and now I think it's awesome and I never miss an episode whatever. So I thought it would mix well with halo. I got a few ideas for it but it's fare on the horizon, hell I don't even know if I'm going to write it. I know there are some good crossovers with halo and star wars on the site but there all a little to AU for my taste.

And there you go. Anyone is welcome to PM me with your thoughts on my story ideas or you can just leave it in a HOF review if you don't have an account. Alright that's all for now. I got to put a dent on this rough draft tonight.

Currently on (Publishing Phase)

Alright the write up is all done and I've moved on to typing it up. I've already started before this phase update and I'm 35 pages in. Thank god for three day weekends.

I don't really have much to say. I saw Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and I think the first one was way better. That My Hero Academia spin off manga is the bomb. Bought a new desk and currently typing on it so IKEA is also the bomb. And that's all. There should be an update in a few days so look out would.

Currently on (Outline Phase)

So I've been on this phase for a while and I'm almost done. It wasn't particularly difficult to make but there are a few tricky scenes here and there that I had to give a second look. Peter and Korra have a moment...nothing to see there and it's the final chapter before the equalist attack the probending arena. Not going to lie outlining that one isn't going to be easy. Oh well challenge accepted. Any who I'm a little surprised that no one answered my question at the end of the last chapter so I'll try asking it one more time. The last scene in chapter 14, the one with Madame Web and Dr. Strange, I did that scene a little differently than my usual process. I had my outline out and just typed out the scene without creating a rough draft. I just wanted to know what you all thought about it. Did it suck was it better than usual? I would like to know since typing out the story like that would speed things up in the update department and save a bunch of trees as well. Oh well that's all for now. I appreciate your readership and love reading your reviews, they fuel me!!!

Take care everyone.

Currently on (Writing Phase)

Well, I'm going to be very honest with all of you (to anyone who reads these status updates anyway). This chapter is kicking the ever loving crap out of me. There isn't a problem with the chapter itself. I like how I structured it and real satisfied with the content. The problem is that this chapter is so FREAKING LONG! Oh boy I was waaay to ambitious with the outline and I'm man enough to admit that I bite off more than I could chew. A couple of these scenes might get recycled for a later chapter. I did the same thing with that scene with Amon and Hiroshi at the estate. I might actually type up the first scene and release it just to help tide you over but I really like delivering a full chapter. One of the authors I'm following did something similar and it looked like a good idea. I'm open to feedback on the subject so feel free to let me know how you feel on it. I might do it or just go back to writing the rough draft. Anyway, let me cover all the holidays I've missed. Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year to you all.
