    So, Rpgs...

    By Grantaire,

    So I was thinking of making an RPG based off my epic, A Fading Blaze. Although I'd probably have to take out the blatent Star wars copying.
     
    Think it's a good idea?
     
    Oh, and who else here loves writing scenes where good characters die by assassination?

    Bye Glitchy

    By Grantaire,

    So what if I name my computers?
     
    err, whatever.
     
    Anyways, to begin let me tell you about my family's nutty computers...
     
    Oldie: Our oldest one, is a Pentium with windows 98 and no internet connection.
    Freezy: The one I always use, it's a pentium three with windows 2000. And it freezes up like Karz.
    Glitchy: Our newest one, it's a Pentium four with windows XP. And a glitch in the graphics card that annoys me to no end. And just recently it lost internet connection.
     
    So my dad somehow wipes it by accident.
     
    And I'm like "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" Because I just lost a ton of stuff I had on there. Fortunately i don't use glitchy much, so I didn't lose everything!
     
    Anyways, besides that, I'm beginning to fall a bit behind oin my nanowrimo word count (I believe I have a little over a thousand words written)
     
    Oh, and banging your head into a scanner hurts!
     
    Also, I managed to get some RPG Making in, and the minigame I designed isn't half bad...

    :-(

    By Grantaire,

    I want to write something so bad. But I have to wait 'til November to do so. It's so annoying...
     

     
    Anyways, I'm pretty sure that at least one part of my Redwall Fanfic will have to be toned down a bit to be kept BZP appropriate, due to the excessive violence I'm pretty sure it will contain.
     
    Also, my attempt at some sort of horror is going good, although I doubt I'll be able to make it 'horror'
     
    Oh, and KNI is officially an enemy of the Foireann, his pointless attacks have been getting a tad annoying...

    It's All Over

    By Grantaire,

    Anyways, title aside. I'm doing Nanowrimo this year.
     
    Unfortunately this means that I'm not going to be able to write anything else that much...
     
    So it looks like I'm not going to write a PW story.
     
    Also, another thing.
     
     
    It's all over now.
     
    What is? 'tis simple. My rivalry with the Seneca. I've told this to a few people already.
     
    It's simple. I was a noob back then, and this was born out of my noobishness.
     
    And I'm sick of it.
     
    Sorry about that, Seneca.
     
    But this doesn't mean I won't at least attempt to prank individual members.

    Well I'm a POBZPC. *Shrugs* it would have been nicer if I had done more to get it then send in a news report and get PMship twice... Oh well.
     
    On another note, I found an old story snippet. And as it isn't something I can use, I'm posting it here.
     

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «.....Zarayna stood among the trees of the island he and his Toa Iden had fled to. He had the one thing he longed for here. Peace. A sigh came from the Toa of sonics. How could he ever enjoy peace without his fellow Toa. Why can't I ever forget the past? he thought. once his team had numbered twelve. Yet now they had only a half of that number still living. He was leaving his past behind him. Now he only hoped to start a new life. A new beginning. 
    I'm waking up
    The world is turning
    The sun is shining again
    I'm holding on
    To things I shouldn't
    It's time to let them go

     
    .....Those words rang once again in his head. Niren, Toa Iden of water, had sang that. He remembered sitting around with his Toa, in between missions, listening to Niren's singing. A slight smile crossed Zarayna's face as he remembered how he had tweaked with her voice with his power over sound. He had found out what the term 'drowning on dry land' had meant that time. but now she was gone. as well as five other Toa Iden. Murdered. For no reason. Because of the knowledge he and his oldest companion, Groth, possessed. Murdered by a organization dedicated to the good of the universe.
     
    I've been on a losing streak
    Hit so hard I couldn't speak
    But when I hear Your voice it fades away
     
    .....Zarayna sighed. Why couldn't he get over it? He had avenged them. He had defeated the one who had caused it, leaving her to weak to move. Yet still the memories plagued him. Of the many battles and adventures he had shared with his team. And again he sighed. Why was life so cruel?
     
    And I can hear You say
    It's a brand new day
    The pain goes away
    I'm headed for the door
    And I'm going home
     
    .....Because that's the way the world works, Zarayna, a voice sounded in his head. Zarayna whirled around, his hand on the hilt of his blade. He relaxed when he saw that it was only Celetha, Toa of Psoinics. Zarayna sighed. Was it that hard to get some time alone?
     
    ....."Celetha! Why do you always have to sneak up on people?" he asked. She grinned. That was Zarayna for you. Always going off alone to nurse his wounds. Whether mental or physical. And never accepting help or comfort.
     
    I'm going home
    I'm going home
    I'm going home
     
    Your love, it burns
    Away my darkness
    You guide me when I'm blind
    You are the light
    That shines inside me
    Showing me I'm
    So much more
    When I've been on a losing streak
    Hit so hard I couldn't speak
    But when I hear Your voice it fades away
     
     
    And I can hear You say
    It's a brand new day
    The pain goes away
    I'm headed for the door
    And I'm going home
    I'm going home
    I'm going home
    I'm going home
     
    Take me into Your arms
    My home lies within Your heart
     
     
    Wrote this in attempt to throw off a case of writings block before I perfected the Zarayna saga, so it's kinda non canon. But still, it's here.
     
    Oh, and chapter two of A Fading Blaze is up. C&C is appreciated.

    And rightly so. For both Inferna Firesword and Rising Moon have placed bounties on my head.
     
    Is this justice? Is this right? No! I offered a reward for the capture of Inferna for a reason. She is guilty of destruction of private property. What, you ask? Why the door of the birthday topic of my dear friend, Dovydas! Yet they have no reason (besides the usual) for their unjust persecution of me!
     
    So I ask you - nay, I beg you. Stop this injustice. Bring the two guilty ones to me!
     
     
    *Angry mob rushes away to the aforementioned member's profiles, pitchforks and torches ready*
     
     

     
    Oh, and for you people who are unfamiliar with the great thing known as 'kidding around', this isn't serious.
     
    And on another note, Mangai is to be called 'fearless leader' by all Toa Foireann.
     
    -Zarayna
     
    Well, not THAT serious anyways.

    Weird Weird Weird..

    By Grantaire,

    This was crazy. Somehow the post office charged me $5.55 for priority mail on a package that should have cost $9.55 for priority mail.
     
    Majorly odd.
     
    Oh well. On another note, I got the package I sent in for BrickCon just came in a few days ago. So I'll have pics of them up in BBC soon.
     
    And as my PMship is expiring in a week or so, my parents got me another years worth for my birthday.

    Blah...

    By Grantaire,

    I hate getting sick... I couldn't get to sleep until like one AM, and kept on waking up during the night. So I was a zombie in the morning. Right around the time I had to review Ak's latest comic as well as Dovy's newest epic.
     
    However, I love herbal tea even more now...
     
    On another note, the Toa Foireann have been formed, with Mangai as leader and Aderia as deputy. And me as that random team member.
     
    And I had a million ideas for another Redwall fan fiction, but I can't write anything right now...
     
    So yeah, blah...

    Writer's Alliance.
     
    It's awesome.
     
    Now get over there and join it.
     
    Go on!
     
    On another note, I posted my story Never Goes away. And I did something I can't recall seeing anyone else doing. I named this song fic something else besides the song title (Figure.09)
     
    And while I'm on the subject of writing, I'm almost done with chapter three of my Zarayna epic. Man, these heavy troops of Artakha's are not people you want to fight, I'll say that.
     
    And Jedi master Zarayna makes his appearance.
     
    Expect it out sometime tomorrow.

    Star Wars

    By Grantaire,

    So I was watching episode three today. It was awesome. But sad also. Especially when Fisto died.
     
    And I was also reading a novelization of episode one. It was extremely good and well written. And explained a few things that confused me in the movie.
     
    -Zarayna
  13. Grantaire
    Ever gotten tired of all the stereotyping in Redwall? Of all the inconsistencies (Such as a mouse who has never wielded a sword in his life easily defeating an expert searat captain)? Well then keep your eyes open for the Redwall fan fiction stories I'm currently writing. Expect them to have a little.. different feel to them.
     
    Indeed, it will be a lot more tragic then the average Redwall book.
     
    -Zarayna
  14. Grantaire
    So I go on wikipedia to get some references from one of the latest Redwall books. Needless to say, I got sidetracked. I got stuck right about this quote.
     

     
    And I was like 'someone else shares my views on redwall!'
     
    You see, all of the above things always bug me. As well as pretty much everything in the Criticism part. Especially the 'Stormtrooper effect'. Something that always annoys me when reading redwall. So I know some things to avoid in my upcoming first COT story..
     
    On another note, I found out about the soon to be released (Okay, I have no idea when it will be released) Redwall book. And my opinion of it isn't very high. It's the usual. Some random vermin decide to try to take over Redwall thing. About the only part I'm looking forwards to is the piratelike otters.

    No, not BrickCon. My birthday.
    It started up as usual. my second oldest brother came over while I was on the computer. I finally got off and when outside with him and my third oldest brother. I must say. Jump-kicking a swing set has never been so fun.
    ...
    Don't ask.
    My favorite part of the day, however, was when me and my siblings were hanging out on our back porch roof. At like nine PM.
    And my second oldest brother lent me one of his Thousand Foot Krutch CDs!
     
    And I'm (Hopefully ) going to be getting A Thousand Suns soon.
     
    On another note, I urge everyone to read Aderia's stories. Those poor pieces of art are far superior to my own, and have next to no reviews.
     
    In fact, I urge you to do more then that. In a moment where you have pretty much nothing to do on BZP, go into BBC< Artwork, the library, scroll down and read and review any stories/MOCs/Artwork with under four replies!

    Blah..

    By Grantaire,

    So I go to the boys and Girls club for archery. I stay a little longer then usual. And then I waited around for a bit. Then I finally called my Dad. Who had forgotten to get me. And to make it worse, my Mom had told him to pick me up at five.
     
    So yeah, blah....
     
    On another vote, War Zone began. I must say, it's a good RPG, although I much prefer BZProvince's feel. *Shrugs* oh well. The EXTREME sandbox nature of it is rather interesting.
     
    And I got an RPG idea recently. A BZP ripoff of Matrix.

    Rpg Contest Over.

    By Grantaire,

    And FFO didn't win.
     
    Oh well. This batch of RPGs looks better then the last.
     
    And on another note. I TURN FIFTEEN IN THREE DAYS!
     
    I need that run-around-in-a-circle-screaming one.

    Star Wars

    By Grantaire,

    So I was watching episodes one and two. Loved them.
     
    Attack of the Clones + Mute button = Awesome movie.
    Attack of the Clones + No mute button = Shut up Anakin!
     
    Serious. His wining was so annoying. And what seems strange to me is how he changed in the Clone wars, and then in episode three...
     
    Oh well. That's what a mute button is for.

    Some Random Things...

    By Grantaire,

    So I updated my 'about me' section.
     
    And I just remembered that I have to give a SSCC review.
     
    Oh, and I'm writing a new RPG idea. And I love it. You can see the prototype in the planning topic.
     
    Oh, and my team won the Epics contest!

    What A Day

    By Grantaire,

    So I get up in the morning. BZPower is going fairly like it usually is in the morning. RPG Polls aren't interesting me really. Go to my blog. Someone tells me that me package I sent in for BrickCon was received incomplete. Needless to say, I was all for quite a bit. Then I went to the first day of archery at the local Boys club (). I didn't manage to get every shot in the inner three rings (Which was my goal that day) but it was fun. Then I come home to find out that my package was received unopened after all (Which was both good and bad).
     
    So my day was going up and down like crazy...
     
    On another note, my brother met a BZP member at his local library. But didn't remember the person's username ()
     
    Oh, and I changed my blog name.

    Brickcon...

    By Grantaire,

    While it's coming up, and here are the completed versions of the two MOCs I'm sending (According to the post office, they got there on Monday).
     

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 
    And I turn fifteen in ten days ().
     
    So to those of you going to BC, make sure that you look for these two. We wouldn't want to hurt their feelings, would we?
     
    On another note, who thinks I should make a Star Wars song fic?

    I'm torn between these names:
     
    There was a Zarayna here!
    Scinos fo Rewop - Anyaraz
    It's a Zarayna!
    Zarayna - Power of Sonics
     
    Help?

    By Grantaire,

    Yes, I really don't have anything else to blog about.
     
    -Zarayna: Is hyped up from reading the quoted post.
     
    EDIT: I forgot, I DO have something to blog about. My latest epic, Assassin of Stelt, has been posted! You BZPRPG folk may remember my character Zarayna. Well here he is.
