Whilst typing this I'm listening to the creepy Lord Millenium Song from D.Gray-man~ It's nice in a fun, creepy way!
So, since January 26th I've gotten 3 chapters of WOTNOPOLIS posted. I'm pretty psyched about that. That's about 1 per week. Considering WOTNOPOLIS hadn't had a new chapter since November when I started I'm pretty happy with this new pace.
I've had WOTNOPOLIS planned since August, so that I'm finally starting to get to some of this stuff that's been in the works for a year? Yeah. It's exciting me.
I'm also starting to get really motivated. There's so many reasons why I want to finish it up already and move on. And getting these chapters out to you guys fast like this? It's really encouraging me.
I have to get a new chapter out every 10 days. So you guys should be able to see one up every week and a half. ^_^ (Is dedicated to that schedule).
However, I'm already started on chapter 20, too! I won't put it up for at least a week, because the new LOKI is coming out and I don't want WOTNOPOLIS and Loki to interfere with each other. So~ My plan is to write as much of chapter 20 as I can the next few days. And if I finish it before Loki's come out, then I'll start writing WOTNOPOLIS 21. So next week you guys might be able to get a double chapter bonus! To help make up for the cliffhanger I did on chapter 19 :P (to be fair, I think all of you now know why I separated the two chapter bits now, even if you didn't like it at the time.)
If I do that, which I think I will to help out LOKI (And because I'd like to and I'm the author and do what I want :P) then after next week or so when this double chapter bonus comes out, we'll be over 2/3's of the way done with the series. We'll also be on the final 10 chapters of WOTNOPOLIS. Barring something changes as I'm writing (which can happen. The entire Kotaro bit of WOTNOPOLIS was almost completely unplanned. It just happened of its own accord) chapter 31 of WOTNOPOLIS will be the last chapter of the series, and then an epilogue will follow.
So the end is starting to be in sight, guys. It's a ways out, but hey. It'll be over by the end of this summer, lest I really slack and suck somewhere along the way. And, frankly, this Jake death scene was the thing I was most dreading writing (since I wanted it to be done well) and now that that's over, then it should be smoother sailing. Not saying that there isn't plenty of fun left, or surprises. There is. Just nothing that I shouldn't be able to handle. (I've already killed off a main character, so, it's not like I can't do it again if it comes to that)
It's probably amazing to think of us a only 2/3's the way through if I get the double chapter bonus out. It feels like we're a lot farther in story wise, but that's the way it is. So sit back and hopefully enjoy. If I can keep the current pace up, a new chapter every week or so, then by the beginning of Summer WOTNOPOLIS will finally be at a close. A nearly two year long journey. (And I had the original idea for WOTNOPOLIS a year before that, actually)
I hope I can, to be honest. After working on this for so long, and after getting through these last 3 chapters I'm really motivated to get this series finished. Each chapter I finish I feel the ending come closer, and I'm getting excited. Don't get me wrong, I love WOTNOPOLIS, but I think you guys are as excited as me to see this one finish.
The only sad part is there was so much planned with WOTNOPOLIS and the original website. The manga and all that. It really is a shame we couldn't of had all that pan out. But oh well. There is still the chance that these websites may kick off (as they seem to be likely to do) and then we may re-open WOTNOPOLIS as a RP site, at the least. There is one more thing I have planned for WOTNOPOLIS when it's all said and finished. I plan on using one of those self-publishing websites and making it into a hard-bound cover book that you can buy if you're interested. In case you just wanted to have the whole thing in a book-like format to keep. Maybe as a memory? I plan to get one for myself and hold onto it. I won't be selling them to make a profit, I'll just sell it to you guys at whatever the price is to make them. So! If you're interested in that when the series finishes, let me know and I'll make sure you get informed of it.
By the way, whatever I put into the hard-bound copy will be better than it currently is. There's some plot-holes and some bad grammar/storylining in some of the early chapters that I'd smooth out for you guys. So you'd be getting the gold-platinum addition! Hah, or something like that~ I'll make Yoyo help me edit it and I'd use some of her illustrations for it (Plus any illustrations you guys would want to put in it).
In fact, yeah, if any of you get the urge between now and summer to draw, draw up a WOTNOPOLIS scene and I'll see if we can't fit into the book for ya. ^_^
Other then that, that'd be that. So I'm excited to get this show on the road for you guys. If all goes as planned then February you should see 4 chapters released, and I can pretty much guarantee, unless I get crazy story-blocked somehow (which can happen if life gets stressful), you'll see 3 chapters released (which means, since 2 have already been released, there's at least one more to go). If I'm really lucky and dedicated, you may see 5, but don't hold you breath on that one, since the month is already getting close to over. Yesterday being the halfway point. It'll somewhat depend on Loki and how my double-chapter bonus goes.
That'd be my ramble. If you guys have any thoughts on anything I said or anything about WOTNOPOLIS in general (ranging from the newest chapters, the old chapters, or anything whatsoever!!) please post them below. The author of this series really enjoys feedback as it not only motivates him to work harder but it also helps me make a better story. Plus I like to hear that you guys enjoy this, since I work hard on it... Yeah. So please! Feel free to say lots and lots. I'd rather get a lot said then a sentence or two posts...
This makes me happy

Well, I don't really have any parameters on the drawings, just draw whatever you want for it. ^^;

Although it does need to be WOTNOPOLIS related somehow :P Like, drawing a picture of Luffy wouldn't do me much good. ^^;;
hahaha sure
but i may ask you some of descriptions and stuff XP

Yeah~ You can.
I'm glad you decided to do this ^^
Yeah, this (a blog) seemed easier than bothering everyone on AIM with these thoughts.
Unless you meant the things in the blog, then sure~

Coolness. ^^
And I got the double chapter bonus out with 2 days to spare!
This also marks the 1 month anniversary of chapter 17 coming out.
So in one month I got out 5 chapters~
17, 18, 19, 20, 21!
That's what I'm talking about. ^^ A month ago we were 15 chapters away. Now we're 10 away. Yosh! I want to get out 22 this week. Then~ I may take a little break so I don't wear myself out. Like, a week long break.
