Since the first five chapters will be pretty long I decided uploading them bit by bit, divided into several parts. So if you have any comments, topics, concerns, feedback of whatever kind, feel free to put it here  |

Thought so. Okay so about the post in the introduction section: Up until now my favorite characters are Kia and Jess but I'm starting to like the others a lot, too. THE PLAN: My current plan for the JROCK int story is to write each of the new guardians one chapter (the first one being earth). That only means, that the main focus will be within those chapters on the chosen guardian, to be more precise, on the development of that character. There still will be other things involved as you might have recognised. After these 5 chapters the world, major characters and issues they're dealing with should be introduced properly, plus the guardians might have gained a certain experience with their powers. After that the real mission begins.

So the first so many chapters nothing majorly important is going to happen with J.R.O.C.K, just their introductions and showing their characters? Are the others cut in to parts or is it just Earth?

You didn't read correctly: "to be more precise, on the development of that character"; "There still will be other things involved" and "the guardians might have gained a certain experience with their powers." In other words: There's still a lot going to happen, trust me you won't be bored It's just to get a feel of how things are, they will develope their friendship, powers and the reader gets several insights on the new lives of the WITCH and of cause the major "evil" however that may look like (of cause I already know what that will be but don't want to spoil!). In every of those chapters one of them will learn a certain lesson. In Quailing Earth it will be Kia, in the second chapter O-Hani and so on. There's still a lot going on with the other characters, how they deal with the situation, and things that might become important in later chapters. I only meant, that, while the first chapter MIGHT seem to focus a little more on Kia from time to time, it doesn't mean she's the main character of JROCK int in total. Okay! Hope that cleared that up! Actually I planned the whole chapter through today and uploaded a new part! Yey for that! |

I was never going to be bored, I thought it was good to have chapters that focused on the characters to get their better known. You can write all of the descriptions and bios you want for characters, but the one way to really get how characters are is it see them in action.

Minor little mistake on the last part as you had it written as part 1 despite it being part 4 at the beginning. Just a minor issue, that I could have fixed myself, but I felt you might prefer that I let you know about it.

No problem. If you don't mind it, then next time I see a minor mistake like that I could just fix it myself if you don't mind me doing it.

Sorry, I'm a little sensitive with my stuff. I'd rather have you telling me instead of going into my stuff  |

Okay, that's fine and completely understandable. I thought it would be important to ask, I wouldn't have felt right to mess with anything without an okay from you, but I completely understand just wanting to deal with your things your self, even with just a minor thing.

Pepples looked up, blinking the black round eyes, her long ears wiggling interested into the direction of the computer where Yangis fingers ran madly over the keyboard! That's what I would love to do. But I'm in the middle of moving right now and my rabbit is still at my old home until I've finished preparing everything for her. Well and I still have to write that damn Bachlor thesis! Grr! Anyways! I've been working on the contents of the following chapters already, the characters and so on, I just have to find the time to write them down. Also I've started the next part of Chapter 1. But it's not yet finished. I just wanted to inform you, that it might take a few days until I et to it again, because of the multitude of unpacked boxes piling up around me right now... Coming up: Flying lessons The bad guys First transformation and teamwork More about the WITCHs' new life At least I'm excited about those things. And no I didn't spoil with this There are way too much otehrs things connected with these that matter more. But you will see for yourself soon enough. Hopefully I'll be able to get the next part on. Aproximately there will be about... 8 part of Chapter 1 I'd say. So half of it is already up for reading! Yey for that! |

So on the list of things that are coming up, is that for each of the next parts of chapter 1 or are they things that will happen in the next chapter?

The 5th part is online now. I already started on the 6th but due to sickness everything slowed down here once more. That's why it took me so long to get the 5th onto the Computer I had finished it around wednesday last week... Well anyways I hope you enjoy reading and the next chapter hopefully won't take as long. Actually the 5th part of Chapter 1 is quite important, so read it carefully See ya later! *wave* |

Uuuh, the more I think about it, the more excited I get. I love Dim as a character and some other that are not yet introduced. I really hope they'll come off well So exciting! Hope you can find your way through the Introduction page. There are new things all the way to the end. |

Working on part 6 now and I was thinking about wether to make a Halloween Special for JROCK or if I should include that part in a later chapter...

Hmm, tough call. Doing a special allows you to do a bit of a what-if, if you want too, basically enabling you to do anything you want without affecting the actual story in anyway.
But if you got the right idea that can mix well into the story, then that might be the right call.
I guess it really depends on what your idea for it is. Although personally, I normally prefer to do one-shots, or something like that as then I can change and alter things to my liking even if they normally wouldn't fit as it has nothing to do with the actual core story, its just something else for fun that allows me to try a lot of different things.

Hm. Very true what you said. I think I'll keep it until later then, because it might play in pretty well into the actual story. Thanks for the comment! Really helped me there |

Really interested to see what you do with this. Halloween isn't my favorite holiday [That goes to Christmas] but I have always enjoyed it and the general setting that goes with it.
It can easily open the door for dark and scary things and dark and fun things, so I'm looking forward to seeing what exactly you do with it.

Hm well this Thing would be more of a Little ominous and mysteriouse than really dark and scary. But you might like my 4th and 5th chapter then. Sadly it will take some time until they get here. But they have quite some askepcts of scary and dark. |

Ominous and mysterious things still fit in with a Halloween setting, so it's all good.

It was good I didn't make it into a Special! I had the most brilliant idea! Okay maybe not the most brilliant I ever had... anyways, that Story part fits perfectly into the 3rd Chapter! I was a Little worried about that onesince it didn't have that much stuff yet,unlike the other chapters I already planned, but with this it might work out pretty well. Hooray! I'm really happy now! I also made slight changes on the second chapter that go better than how it was originally planned. I 'm really looking Forward to them now. I just have to finish the first one first, ehem. But at least, now that I've already planned them through I just have to put them into more filling words and voilá! More stuff to read. Okay that's it. I just felt like sharing this progress with someone |

Sometimes I get a little confused with the chapters. Sometimes I'm not certain if you are actually meaning new chapters, or different parts of chapter 1.

I'm talking about the actual chapters I structure and plan quite a lot before I get the time to actually WRITE them down. Most of the time that's because I don't have much time to write the actual chapters so at least I want to develope them or rather the Story as a whole. So I already have the 5 first chapters planned out in what will be Happening. I just have to get the time to sit down and write them down. Sadly that might take a while until I get all of them done. That's why I divided each Chapter into parts, so I can upload bit by bit and no one will get bored because nothing has been uploaded for too long and so that I can work my way up slowly. To be honest when I first started this second attempt on a WITCH 2. Gen I never would have guessed that I would like it this much. Ususally I just do These thigns to get a Little more writing experience, like an excercise to write on diverse Topics. But I'm starting to like this Story a lot and the characters involved. I like seeing how they will grow with each chapter I write and how I can shape the Magic with words... |

Looking at it that way, I rather enjoy your approach to it. I tend to hate when someone gets something exciting up and going and then they go about 7 or 8 months before updating it and then back to the 7 or 8 month wait.
I remember discussing the original version with you quite a bit and I enjoyed the direction that you were going with it. Kinda sad to have seen it go, but I'm also liking this version and liking the direction its going as well.

That's what I thought. It's nicer for me too to have that Feeling: Yey another part finished! Upload! So I'll stick to that.
Yeah. But I was never THAT fond of them to tell the truth. It was more of a: everyone's doing a next gen, so why not try one myself. I liked some ideas, some aspects of it. But I made them daughters of the previouse Guardians because everyone did, not because I personally liked it that way. this time, the next Generation is entirely made out of what I would like the next gen to be. I fell much more comfortable that way. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner but I'm just happy I did it now. And some day I'll print it all out and have a Little book of my own, continuing the journey of the WITCHES right next to the Comics. That would be really great!

I always enjoyed the idea of their daughters taking over as the new Guardians, and when I first planned the idea there was virtually no stories in the W.I.T.C.H section at FF and none of them was a next gen. I ended up not doing it at that time though as I felt I needed to get a little bit more experience before working on a story that I always felt was going to be one of my biggest stories. I had a lot of different ideas for it back then, but only a few of them have remained up to this point, and that was over 7 years ago.
That would be beyond great, in fact we'd have to come up with a word to describe just how beyond great it was like, WITCHtastic!
