I just finished rating. You should too, chubbs. I believe in you.

[Ryan_DuBois]

Every year I hope Chubby will rate the stories and every year I am disappointed.



Please, Chubby. We know there's still some good left in you!

Somewhere.

Rate the stories!

[donteatpoop]

CHUBBY! If you're still in there, if you can still here me! Rate the stories! It's not too late to fight back. It's not too late to retake control of your body/mind! Rate the stories Chubby! You will not be forgotten!

[ChubbyTeletubby]

Okay, I'll try. I have a couple hours. Here I go. Wish me luck.

Chubby,

(Turn around!)

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
and you're never coming round...

(Turn around!)

Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound
of my tears...

(Turn around!)

Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the
years have gone by...

(Turn around!)

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then
I see the look in your eyes...

Turn around, bright eyes.

Every now and then I fall apart!

Turn around, bright eyes.

Every now and then I fall apart!

(Turn around!)

Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream
of something wild...

(Turn around!)

Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying
like a child in your arms...

(Turn around!)

Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got
to get out and cry...

(Turn around!)

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the
look in your eyes...

Turn around, bright eyes.

Every now and then I fall apart!

Turn around, bright eyes.

Every now and then I fall apart!

And I need you now tonight!

And I need you more than ever!

And if you'll only hold me tight,

We'll be holding on forever!

And we'll only be making it right!

'Cause we'll never be wrong,
Together we can take it to the end of the line.

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time.

I don't know what to do.
I'm always in the dark,

We're living in a powder keg
And giving off sparks!

I really need you tonight!

Forever's gonna start tonight!
Forever's gonna start tonight!

Once upon a time I was falling in love,
But now I'm only falling apart.

There's nothing I can do.
A total eclipse of the heart.

Once upon a time there was light in my life.
But now there's only love in the dark.

Nothing I can say.
A total eclipse of the heart.

This is how sad I'll be if you don't rate the stories.

[EDIT]

666!

That was beautiful.

More beautiful than the thought of apotheosis getting repeatedly raped in Endmaster's basement, even.

Why thank-you, Mizal. Wrote it myself.

I like your new avatar, by the way. Very classy.

Why thank you. It is Celestia, Princess of the all the ponies in the magical land of Equestria. (not responsible if clicking link gives you diabetes)

Funny how you can just add a few swears to the original lyrics and it still works. (Well to me anyway)

[Ryan_DuBois]

Heh, so these are the guys from "Old School"? I didn't know it was an actual band that played in that movie. Love the lead singer's facial expressions.

Okay after yet another re-evaluation on the story and doing some quick editing in such a way that I didn't need to delete any of the writing in it, I can say Innkeeper is finished and will stay posted up on main writing site.

A part of me felt I couldn't in good conscience have TWO unfinished stories hidden on here. One I can live with, hell Legend was unfinished for years, but two unfinished stories is pushing it for me.

Seeing as it was fairly well liked in its current form (Heard it won a contest), I figured there really wasn't any need to expand or delete anything right now on it. And again as I mentioned in a previous post, I feel like an enjoyable and sizable tale has been created that can stand on its own.

There may come a day when I decide to expand on some of the plot branches. I think I've made it easy enough for me to do that if I choose to and even though it's rare, I've done it with a couple past stories.

But as it stands now Innkeeper is 100% complete. Go ahead and properly rate it if you wish.

All of which means I can actually work on another story, which I've been doing over the past few weeks.

Patriot: 5% Completed.

The more I thought about it, the more the idea for this was just too compelling for me to put off. There was another story-line I created a beginning for called "Trained for Hell" which was going to be Scifi, but I've incorporated the beginning and some of the concept from it for this one instead. (Which will be fantasy)

I also have considered that I probably should stick to writing morally gray loner characters right from the beginning when doing "epic" stories. I find that if I start out with "clean slate" characters with families, I get bogged down in creating every possibility and then things don't get finished (Primal). With Innkeeper it worked out, but it still got cut a lot shorter from its original concept (Which was a lot different and didn't even take place in a city) and thus lost the epicness.

So, writing a character trained to kill from birth for his declining nation, with treachery and uprisings going on everywhere should keep me a lot more focused and a chance to make it have more of that "epic" feel. I have three major paths planned, but for right now I'm concentrating on one and seeing how that goes. So far it's going well I think.

And if writing is going faster than anticipated, I may just add pretty pictures to it.

Eternal (Formally known as Patriot): 30% Completed.

Real life crap and set backs getting in the way as usual, but I soldier on.

Two chapters completed on one of the major storyline branches.
Third chapter is partially completed along with an epilogue.

Still need to complete the rest of the third chapter of its sub-branches and failed paths, before moving on to the next two major storyline branches. (Along with historical, footnotes, and background info, but I'm thinking I might save writing all that stuff for last this time.)

144 pages of writing total so far.

[mizal]

So how's everybody's IWT entry coming along? Mine's been shelved till August while I work on my CYS story, but I'm just a few pages shy of 20 so no worries there. I do hope I manage to wind up with something completed or at least mostly-completed and not just the bare minimum, though...jumping to other projects in mid-story is exactly what I told myself I wouldn't do this time, but these days it's so rare that I really get excited about writing a story the way I have with this fantasy one and decided to just roll with it. I just wish I had more time.

Also damn but this place is pretty dead right now. I know I'm not contributing much either but it turns out time spent fucking around on forums is inversely proportionate to time spent actually getting work done. Who knew.

[End Master]

I actually did come up with a potential story idea for IWT8 if I wanted to join. I wouldn't even mind working on it since I think it's a neat idea especially for this contest theme, but like I said, I need to focus on Eternal. Its gotten hung up a bit, but I have still been working on it. Hoping to get one of the major branches completed before the end of this month.

I'd say Eternal is probably nearly 50% completed.
