(NOTE: For those who don't know what this is, you can read the introduction here.) To kick off this series of Looking Back posts, I will start off with my top ten favorite characters from the Shikaverse. Due to the length of this post, it will be split into two parts, with the first five characters in this post and the last five in another. Also, there be spoilers ahead. If you don't want my stories spoiled, then I suggest not reading this, at least until you've read my works. I chose to s
No need for any introductions, so let's get onto the summary, shall we? In this chapter, the identity of the thief is finally revealed . . . and it is shocks both Kiriah and Isarot. Short summary, true, but I do not believe more needs to be said. -TNTOS-
I was thinking of changing my username to "Awesome Ackar" or something like that. What do you think? I like my current username right now, but it may be nice to change it, at least for a little while. Perhaps I'll do it at the beginning of next year or something.
Will do some thinking about it.

I was off BZP and the Internet/computer in general all day yesterday. It's good to take a break from computers and computer-related things for a day or two every now and then. At least it's good for me, anyway. But I doubt any of you care about that, so instead I'll talk about what I'm sure everyone is dying to know: What I got for Christmas! Let's list them in the order I unwrapped them: -The Complete Sherlock Holmes. This is a two volume boxet containing all four novels and fifty-six sho
GC#4: The Fallen Warrior will be posted as a two or three chapter epic soon. The reason for this is because I tried to post it as a short story earlier today, but when I actually did post it, about half of it was missing because it was too long (20,000 words long, to be exact) and I deleted it all and reported the topic for closure. I'm still counting it as a GC, but it will simply have chapters instead of being one big story.

Yesterday I posted the final chapter of my most recent epic, Dawn of the New Century. Thus, the entire fic is now available for anyone with basic Internet connection to read. Yay and stuff. Soon I am going to begin work on the second draft of Dawn's sequel, currently titled In the End. It will take place shortly after Dawn and will conclude the duology. It will probably come out in early or mid 2014, although I have no definite release date for it just yet. In the meantime, I am pleased to a
Hey guys. I just posted the epilogue to An Unlikely Alliance in the Shika Trilogy Omnibus topic a few minutes ago, That means that the entire Shika Trilogy has been reposted, which means anyone who was putting off reading it until it was all up can read it now. Yay! Unfortunately, I am feeling really sick right now, with only enough strength to post AUA's epilogue. Unfortunately, that means I've decided to put off In the End's release date a week. That means, instead of being posted today, I
As of this morning, I finished writing BIONICLE: The Legend Exploded. I haven't edited it yet, but I will soon. I will most likely begin posting chapters sometime this month or perhaps February, depending on how long the editing process goes. Also, TLE is going to be shorter than TLReloaded, although I think it is just as funny. It has less chapters than TLReloaded, so I will probably post one chapter a week rather than two a week as I did with TLReloaded. That's all for now, so see ya, -T
Ugh, I think I'm sick. It's probably just my allergies, but it's still annoying. I just hope I'll get better enough to go to youth group tonight.
In other news, I will try to post the "What Could Have Been" for An Unlikely Alliance next week and a week after that I will probably put up the DiH preview I mentioned last entry. The Shika Trilogy retrospective won't happen until December, most likely, if it happens at all. Depends on how busy I'll be by that time.

Glatorian Chronicles #4: The Fallen Warrior will be posted on Tuesay, September 1st, 2009.
Since it is far too long to be a short story, it will be a three chapter epic. So if seems awkward to read one chapter at a time, you will know that it is because I originally wrote it as short story and was supposed to be read all at once. And yes, I will still be counting it as a part of the Glatorian Chronicles series as a whole, since it follows the point of view of one Glatorian (Tarix, in this cas
Today, BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn is officially released in the US! I'm glad I preordered it, although Amazon has yet to ship it. But anyway, the movie looks awesome and I can't wait to watch it.
As for new chapters, both Tapestry of Evil and The Fallen Warrior have new chapters today, the latter's newest chapter being the last for the story. So what are you waiting for? Go read and review them or else !

Sorry for the delay, but the fifth chapter of An Unlikely Alliance is posted for your reading pleasure. So much has been happening this week for me that I nearly forgot to post it until a few minutes ago XD.
In this chapter, Makuta Hajax succeeds in taking control of Barilo's body, meaning he now has a physical body again. Hajax then wonders why Oggak had made up the fake origin story of the Tuikas, since he knows for a fact the Brotherhood had no involvement with those creatures, and decides
Yesterday on this blog I mentioned that I had a job interview with UPS, which was supposed to be today at 11:30 AM. Thing is, the interview was to take place in a town about an hour and a half away from where I lived, which by itself isn't a problem, as I have been to that particular town before, so I simply left around 9:40 to give myself plenty of time to get there in case of unexpected delays or whatever. The problem came when I tried to figure out where the UPS center was. I tried Google m
As I said a couple of entries earlier, here is a list of old ideas that were present in previous drafts of AUA but never made it into the final story. There is also some information here that is technically canon but never made it into the story due to my own forgetfulness .
WARNING: There are MAJOR spoilers for An Unlikely Alliance here. If you have not read that epic yet, then I suggest that you do not read this. Or, first read AUA and then read this. Whatever you do, DON'T read this blog
Posted the seventh chapter of An Unlikely Alliance a few hours ago. I've been feeling kind of sick lately, so I almost forgot about it.
In this chapter, Toa Jokao, Toa Oggakia, and Makuta Hajax (in the guise of Toa Barilo) are searching Shika Nui for any Matoran who might have survived the Tuikas. The party of three instead encounter two Rahkshi and a Visorak while looking in a half-submerged cavern and decide to head out after winning the battle. None of them realize that the Tuikas may be c
Completely terrifying. I'm not going to be riding any others any time soon, at least not until I've achieved all of my life's dreams. Two were more than enough for me.

Oh how I wish Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep was out in America now. I also wish I had a PSP to go along with it, but that's beside the point. I suppose listening to "Simple and Clean" while writing isn't helping me get any more patient, heh.
And yes, I am quite aware that it is out in Japan at the moment and that spoilers are probably all over the Internet by now. But I have chosen to ignore them; I don't want to spoil this game for me because I plan to buy it along with a PSP whenever it co
After calling up LEGO, I am now getting my subscription of the LEGO Club Magazine back, which means I will be getting the BIONICLE comics again. Yay!
Yeah, kind of pointless to say, since I sincerely doubt that anyone cares, but I wanted to blog about something today, so there .

Just posted the first chapter of my newest short epic, Glatorian Chronicles #9: Reluctant Allies. Go read it here. So glad to have that out of the way. I'm going to start work on GC numbers 10 through 12 now; in fact, you might see GC #10 very soon, considering I'm pretty happy with how it is coming along, though probably not this week. -TNTOS-
Today I posted the tenth and final chapter of The Ghost King's Tragedy. So that means this whole mess is finally over ( ). Due to the spoilerific nature of the last chapter, I will not be quoting an excerpt from it. You may read the entirety of Chapter Ten here. Next week on this blog I will post a What Could Have Been entry. Like with past WCHB entries, I will discuss old or scrapped ideas that didn't make it to the final draft. I will also explain a few things that were not explained in t
Monday. Again. Weird how it seems to come every week. Just like how it's weird that my birthday is once a year. I suspect a conspiracy involving the Illuminati, gummy bears, and Luigi's mustache. Oh, and George Takei is in on it, too. Probably the mastermind now that I think about it. Anyway, here's an excerpt from this week's chapter: Read the rest of Chapter XIV here. -TNTOS-
. . . a poll closed in favor of a topic.
Not that I think the poll was closed for the wrong reason, but I cannot think of even one example of a poll be closed in favor of a topic in my whole four year time on BZP. Usually, a topic is closed in favor of a poll, but today is different, it seems. A first, perhaps?
Also, as of today, I have been a member of this website for four years. That's right; four years of posting, discussing, writing, and blogging, among other things, and it is likely
I need more to blog about so I can post these updates without making it seem like I'm posting the same blog entry to people browsing the blogs.
In this chapter, Isarot, Kiriah and Lariska sneak into King Brutaka's old study, which is underneath the Hall of Unity. Here they discover mysterious writings and pictures left by the late-king, but before they can figure out what they mean, the trio is ambushed by a large group of Anicans that knew they were going to sneak into there.
Also, today
I'm really trying to get creative with these blog entry titles, aren't I?
In this chapter, Jokao and the others in Koro Nui decide to search for Hajax and Oggak. Meanwhile, Nastan and Death's situation just went from bad to worse, for the Tuikas have appeared and are ready to fight. Will the unlikely duo survive their encounter with the Tuikas when the Dark Hunter Raider is also aiming to kill them?

I posted the epilogue for Tapestry of Evil today, officially ending the epic and tying it into the next one. No, I will not surmise it like I did with past chapters. You go read it if you want to know what happens .
Well, ToE was fun to write and I had a great time talking with my readers in the review topic. It's going to feel weird now that I won't have Tuesday ToE Updates anymore, and it will also feel weird not to be able to post a new chapter every week, too. And I was just getting used
