I am unsure whether this chapter will work, so I'm leaving it up to you! Please tell me if there are any changes that YOU think should be made!

Fate frowned. Things were going as foreseen, but a tiny push was needed for the full fulfillment of events to come. Destiny twitched, and the flow of time changed slightly, flowing into a new course in the riverbed of history.

I finally got around to finishing the contest winning chapter for Toa Novu. I kinda like it - it's the longest I've ever written in a single chapter, over 2,600 words - and I think it will go over well. It is REALLY dialog-heavy, but it's got some funny and charming parts in it, as well as SERIOUS exposition of the history behind Iri Nui.
Toa Novu, I just want to make a public "thank you" for your entry. This thing will shape the rest of the story, I think. thank you!
Well, just posting to claim life. a few updates: I am now a member of the Epic Critics Club, but have been SO busy that I've only reviewed one epic. I wound up with Pohatu Newva, Photok, Hydraxon, and Kalmah for Xmas, and have revamped Kalmah and PN. I will upload and post pics ASAP - they're pretty cool. no progress on epics, due to being busy. Trying to cope with a move back to my old school for the last semester of my senior year, so kinda stressed at the moment. Parents confiscated my lapt
I am sorry to report that, due to some circumstances that I feel unwilling to disclose, that I will be unable to write anything for quite some time. I am about half-completed with Toa Novu's chapter, but that will be all for an undetermined period of time. Rest assured, however, that I will update when I have the opportunity.
Keep an ocular receptor peeled upon the forums!
I am happy to announce that the winners of the blog contest are:
Toa Novu in City of the Toa
Darth Makuta in Shadows Fall
You should see the respective updates by the end of this week - I have finals tommorrow and Tuesday, but I should be able to write in the latter half of the week.
To remind everyone, the prizes for winning the contest are:
Have your custom plot be the backbone of a chapter in its respective epic Have your custom guest star feature in your chapter, and possibly
Recently, I watched Shaun of the Dead, which happened to be my first zombie movie. I enjoyed it a lot, although the world might have been a little bit safer if Michael jackson showed up and lead the zombies away with the Thriller dance. The real reason I'm posting this is because I feel like a zombie. A braindead, shambling zombie. I have not slept well for the past few days, fallen asleep in several classes, and am just generally toasted.

Anyway, I actually wanted to talk about my favorite beverage: Coke Zero. I swear, this is the only diet or pseudo-diet drink I will ever like. It tastes mostly like Coke, but with a healthy dose of Fresca flavor thrown in, and with NO CALORIES! Of course, me being me, I had to call it something odd.
I decided that it tasted like the result of Coke and Fresca having a baby.... a zero-calorie baby. So now, I drink zero-calorie babies.
Anyway, I think that's pretty random...

Just a quick post to remind everyone that the deadline for the blog contest is next Saturday at midnight. I still only have one entry for Shadow Falls, but There is a nice selection for City of the Toa. I appreciate everyone's entries.
I have to admit, I am REALLY excited about the sheer quantity of new parts this year.
The only thing I am disappointed in is the Phanuva. The only one that really seems even remotely original is Pohatu, and he's essentially Kongo Mahri with funky arms. He pulls the look off better than Kongu, though. The weapons, particularly the skyblaster, look good this year, which redeems the Phanuva a little bit. I just wish Lewa had two swords...
Has anyone else contemplated the possibility of
just posting to remind everyone that the chapter contest ends on the 15th of this month.
I was able to do some brainstorming over the weekend, and I have determined some possible future villians - if I can get out of this rut. and now, as an exclusive spoiler, I will reveal one in this post.

I have several things that I've been working on, but none of them are done...
The first thing is a MOC of Tech, the cyborg from City of the Toa. I have designed his natural arm, artifical arm, and head peice, and roughed out a prototype leg that I'm not too happy with. He will be an upscale model to give me room to moc him well, but he is just a little bit taller than typical Toa height in the storyline.
I also idly started on a larger-than-life hand, but that one is probably going to be
Ok, so I was unable to turn in the paper that was due in English today, primarily because the interview I had to base it on did not have information I absolutely required. I'm a little upset, and quite depressed. Fortunately, the teacher will accept it tomorrow instead of today, and I have no other homework due tommorrow, so assuming that I can get some quick info from my subject, I should be able to finish tonight.
but right now, I just don't feel like doing anything. I think I'm going to
Prisoner Diary Entry: 45 days since capture
I hate the one called Loc. He has stolen everything from me; he stole my freedom, my friends, even my bike. I despise him with every molecule of my being, and I hope to be the one to cause his corpse to shrivel in consuming flames. I hate the one called Loc.
I have not had a dose of Pump in over six weeks. The prison doctors tell me that that is a good thing, that Pump was destroying my body, but I feel weak. I cannot bear it any longer. The
I was THRILLED when I read the SSC4 topic, and saw that it was supposed to be writing a story for an illustration. If anyone remembers, my first few stories on this site were short, descriptive, emotional stories, so I feel that my entry, Go Away, really gets back to my roots.
In other news, I have decided to push back my Blog Contest Deadline to December 15, to accomodate the fact that NO ONE has entered anything for Shadows Fall.

I have about half a chapter written for City of the Toa, but I am Uber-stalled in the middle, and not happy with what I've written so far. I don't know when I'll be able to get to it, as I will be EXTREMELY busy for the next few days. As for Shadows Fall....I have no idea what I have written, and haven't actually read the story in months. There's no telling when I'll actually be able to write in that epic again.
I think I'm saving my creative juices for the next short story contest.

I am SO tired, but I'm not going to be able to go to bed for a while, primarily because I made the bone-headed mistake of goofing off this weekend, when I have SO much to do. so, I'm trying to get stuff for monday done, and it's going ok, I guess. I'm still tired, though.

So, I'm a little less depressed than usual today, stuff has gone pretty well.
I got my big English paper done on Monday, so I don't have anything to do (which is why I'm posting this blog entry). I am currently attending a residential school for "talented" students (no, not hogwarts. I wish, though.), so if I don't have anything to do, I can just go back to my dorm.
I'm just generally cheerful today, although I'm a little bit tired. It's a beautiful day outside, although I probably won'
Well....
This is my first blog entry ever....
You know, I've never even really kept a journal, so this is kinda new. For the next year (and maybe later, if I get a source of income), I will have some way to communicate my feelings to total strangers on the internet. Somehow, this is easier than actually telling people about how I feel.
Anyway, I should be posting info about my depressing life, the phases that my epics and other writing are going through, and other, more random thing
