Okay, I will likely put it up, probably by tomorrow. Would like to have a little bit of sleep before I started actually messing with things like that, that affect the site as of right now, I'm practically running on empty.

A bit of an update here as I know that sometimes new things don't always show up at first or you have to check through each section to actually find something new, so this update is for just incase something like that happens to people.
As was requested, character discussion pages were made. Cole, Seroth, Raphael, Hiro and Kaido were grouped together in CHAOS. While Tira, Dawn, Willow, Vincent, Irvine, Raine, Axel, Leona, Squall, Terra, Cloud and Sora were grouped together in Dreamers and Siegfried and Yumi have solo ones as there is no group for them.
This discussion pages are pages where you can as me questions about my characters from any old things that I no longer use or completely did away with or current ideas I'm working on or even things I'm going back and forth on as to rather or not to use it for someone or who to use it for. I also will likely at times just list of different info on my own.
It is worth noting though that depending on how things I could at some point just give all of the characters their own solo discussion page, but for now and the foreseeable future, they are grouped together.
The last bit of the discussion topic is that I have added a discussion page for War of the Guardians since it was pointed out to me that there was nowhere to really discuss and there was some uncertainty as to were it would be okay to ask questions about it or if certain boards were being saved for something else specially, so this should do away with any confusion.
And as of right now, I'm currently uncertain if I'll add some story discussion board that could focus on future stories or anything like that, but I will be certain to at the very least add a discussion page for each story that I post here.
You can also expect to see some other things coming to the C.H.A.O.S and Dreamers page at some point such as a Pictures page and a Group Profile page. Now I know it probably seemed unnecessary to add a Group Profile page considering that each character has their own solo [age, but the general idea was that the Group Profile page would focus on well, the groups. It would focus on how things general did to be with each of them. However if it seems that I really don't need to add a page like that, then I probably won't. The Picture page on the other hand is something that will be done at some point.

A small update here as I created a new board in my story section titled C.H.A.O.S Adventures [This is just the current title of it as it could at some point be changed] their is a discussion and summary thread for it as well.
C.H.A.O.S Adventures is actually a series of one-shots that I had mentioned earlier in this topic. Its a series of one-shots that are done in a similar way that the W.I.T.C.H Adventure books are done [Hence the title, C.H.A.O.S Adventures] in one each story was to focus on one member of C.H.A.O.S, while the other members as well as W.I.T.C.H would appear, each one was still meant to focus on just one member.
However, I've recently decided to not just post the one-shots that were meant to be part of my C.H.A.O.S Adventures series, but other one-shots as well, so may not even focus on C.H.A.O.S, some could focus on the Dreamers, some could even focus on W.I.T.C.H with C.H.A.O.S and/or possibly the Dreamers having their parts in those as well.
However as of this moment, I don't really plan to post every single one-shot I write. A lot of one-shots I write just for the pure fun of writing them and trying many different random things, its unlikely that those type of one-shots would be posted and its most likely that only a few specific one-shots that I enjoy a great deal will be posted here.
Although even with this type of one-shots, they were created be an initial thought of them being what-if type of scenarios or were inspired by a random idea, but for whatever reason turned into things that I could actually see being done, something that I could see as being canon for my characters.
It will still be a little while, but I already have a one-shot planned to be posted here at some point soon.

I know I said Forsaken Hero would be the last old story I did old details on unless I recalled another old one, but this next one is something of a different things entirely. The next one is my W.I.T.C.H next gen which is both old and new. My WITCH next gen is old in the sense that I've done a great deal of things for it over the years, had tons of written drafts for it so many that I've lost count and I've had two actually posted drafts for it. But its new in the sense that even know I'm constantly trying to come up with things for it and I plan to have it posted here at some point. There is so many different things for this, in fact I've forgotten enough things to make complete stories with. Even with the things I do recall I could probably make complete stories with it as well. Although at this time I likely won't go over all of the specific details I do recall, I may go over them at some later point, but for this particular set-up, I'm just wanting to focus on how the amount of kids got to where they were. When I first started things, I only had WITCH with one child, one daughter each. Willow, Raine, Leona, Terra and Sora. I was actually rather fine with just having the 5 total kids, just the new Guardians, it worked on quite a few different levels, so I was fine with it. However, this was a story that I wanted to be complete in a lot of ways, not just with the main characters, but with villains, secondary characters, background characters and any and every other type of character, I wanted each one to just fine in the right way even if there role was small or virtually non-existent, just be a mentioned character and that would have been all, the character still just needed to be just right and fit the story the right way. One of these characters I started working on was, Tira. Tira seemed to bounce back and forth between being a secondary character that was friends to the Guardians and being a villain, kinda putting her in a similar situation that, Elyon was. But as time and different drafts went on, I really started to enjoy, Tira more and more and I ended up making her a main character by making her be a sixed Guardian; I can't recall her exact power, but I was thinking of it being something like Darkness. While I enjoyed that set-up for a few drafts and the sister-line bond that I was able to form with the characters, especially with; Willow and Tira, a new idea occurred to me. Being a Guardian would mean a lot to a lot of people and for one to be chosen over another could possibly make some type of rift between people, especially if they are siblings, and that's when the idea came to me to have Tira be Willow's older sister who became obsessed with having the Heart, even if it meant taking it from her little sister. That's how WITCH ended up going to a total of six children. The next kid brought in was, Dawn. As I was working on different drafts, I had gotten this idea to add some bit of cuteness to the story as I wanted the story to be well-rounded in a lot of different types of things and I decided the best way to do that was to make, Willow a child. Willow was already an innocent character, so it made the change a lot easier to creating a new character to be the child, however I really enjoyed the idea of Tira wanting to get the Heart from her sister, although I did try out some drafts with her as the Keeper, I enjoyed the idea of her trying to get the Heart more and since Willow was now made a child, I decided to create Dawn to serve as the Keeper of the Heart. This totaled the amount of kids to 7 and was where things really started to pick up. The idea of Tira trying to get the Heart slowly started to evolve, instead of it just being about Tira trying to get the Heart, it need to have something extra to the feel of things, it seemed like Tira and the Keeper were the only focus and while I felt they should probably be the main focus, they shouldn't be the only focus. At first I wrote a few drafts of with Tira just have four friends that would help, it didn't seem as meaningful to me for Tira to be against her sister, while Tira's friends with against the other Guardians who they had no connection to and that's when I decided to make Tira's entire group be the Guardian's siblings. Now at first I did consider the other Guardians also having sisters, but really for no specific reason I just ended up changing that and making the other Guardian's siblings be boys. I'm not sure why exactly, I guess despite the fact that girls would have worked better there, I guess I felt things were just a little overplayed there to have 11 kids that were all girls. The first of these boys that were created was Hay Lin's son, Cloud. For the longest time though, Cloud really didn't have anything for him, he was created, but lacked any type of specific role, even joining Tira's group really didn't seem to fitting for him at the time, he was just pretty much created and left as is, the only type of importance he has was really just being Sora's older brother and their relationship was all there was for him, really only fitting in to, Tira's group simply because he was there. This brought WITCH's kid total to 8. After, Cloud was created I realized I needed a character that could actually fit in with what I wanted from, Tira and in came Irma's son, Irvine. Irvine wasn't the level of a flirt at this time that he would later become, while he did flirt a lot, it was all directed at, Tira who he had a huge crush on and would do anything for, which resulted in, Irvine being part of Tira's group. That brought the total of kids to 9. After that, I decided that I really needed a character that would fit Tira's view on things a little more. Cloud was just there because he was created, and Irvine was only there because he had a crush on, Tira. I felt I needed someone who would be like, Tira, would want the task of being a, Guardian and rather or not they were allowed to be didn't matter as they would take the mantle by force if need be and thus, Cornelia's son was created. [Cornelia's son had a few different names upon his creation before eventually setting at, Squall like it is now.] That brought the total of kids to 10. As everyone else had a sibling to fit in with things, I knew I had to give, Leona a sibling as well and since I was creating brothers for, Raine, Terra and Sora, I decided that Leona should have a brother as well and thus, Axel was created. That brought the total of kids to 11. However as drafts went on, I started feeling that, Irvine really didn't belong with Tira's group. Yeah he had a understandable reason of being there as he had a crush on, Tira, while Cloud and Axel both just seemed to be there to be there, they oddly enough still felt like they belonged more then, Irvine did and so I decided I needed Irma to have another son and one that could be more fitting them, Irvine was for the group and thus, Vincent was created. That brought the total of kids to 12. However, while I did have a few drafts that stopped there, I actually continued things on giving Hay Lin another child this gave the set-up of Will, Irma and Hay Lin having three kids while Cornelia and Taranee had two kids giving the total of 13 kids.
However even more was added as I had this interesting idea of three of Cole and Will's daughter fitting in with this, Light, Darkness and Twilight thing and instead using it for Tira, Dawn and Willow, I created three more daughters for them and gave it to them giving the total at 16 kids.
That wasn't enough even then though as I was brining in, Elyon and gave her a son named Auron and a daughter named Rinoa and they were meant to be main characters as well making the total 18.
Even then that wasn't enough as I was also planning similar things for Orube, although her kids were unnamed, she also had a son and a daughter that equaled the total to 20.
But then as later drafts came along, I kept going back to the point of really just wanting to focus on WITCH's kids. Elyon and Orube could have kids and they could even have some major importance, but they didn't need to be main characters. At first, just Orube was cut out dropping things back down to 18, but then after a little while, Elyon was also cut out dropping the total down to 16.
At first form that point I decided that I didn't need, Cole and Will to have six daughters to still give off the Light, Darkness an Twilight thing, although I only removed one of them making the total 15.
It was at that point that I started getting into the last few drafts that I have written up to this point. I took a close look at each family, from the grandparents all the way down. I felt that WITCH's parents would be a good starting point to how things could be with, WITCH and mixed that in with my own things taking into consideration how much each of the characters had changed over time and how they are now. Almost in a sense, starting over.
I started in a reverse order starting with, Hay Lin's family. Different things pointed to how one child would fit rather well for Hay Lin and Kaido, but seemed like they could have a small family, Hay Lin is the only WITCH without a sibling and even in one possible future Hay Lin could have showed her with just one child, a daughter. Sora was a lively enough character who could have fit being an only child, so why did, Cloud stay. Well, Cloud stayed because Cloud really became a rather enjoyable character to me, probably my favorite of the sons. His relationship with Sora brings in a lot of contrast between the two, but a close bond that I rather enjoyed doing different things with as they worked together on so many levels.
Since I was viewing things in a means of starting over, this took the total too 2. Next up was Cornelia's family. Cornelia has a little sister, which seemed to show a little how two siblings could work, although things seemed to point more towards, Cornelia having only one child, Hiro is the type of friendly and loving person you'd expect to have a bigger family, so two kids still seemed a possibility. Although the Hale family seems more female oriented then male as to my knowledge, Harold is the only important male shown or mentioned as opposed to his mother, his wife and his two daughters and taking that into consideration, it does seem more likely that they'd have two daughters instead of a son and a daughter, so then the question becomes, how did Squall end up staying. Squall is in an interesting situation as while I could make a lot of comparisons for him and Terra that fits in in a similar means of how, Cloud and Sora fit well together, but I actually think Squall's connections are probably better with his mother. Squall isn't really someone who is big on style like his mother his, but there is a lot of other things about Squall that come a lot from his mother, parts of his personality, his view points on things, all of that reminding of, Cornelia, its just an interesting thing that I found rather fun.
That brought the total too 4. Next up was, Taranee's family. This one was actually one of the easier ones. It can be viewed from how, Taranee has an older sibling, a brother which seems fitting with her having a son and a daughter, Raphael seems fine either way. There really wasn't much of a thought as to why Axel is around, perhaps a little bit as while he does have certain aspects of his parents that his sister also shares, he also seems to be rather... out there, kinda wild and always doing something fun and often mischievous. The relationship that Axel has with his mother and Leona is rather fun and interesting and really just seemed fitting. Leona is one of the Guardians who while to a small degree I could see being an only child, she and Axel are two characters that I feel are better off having a sibling. Plus, Axel was a rather well liked character by a lot of people who read my posted drafts.
This brought the total to 6. Next up was Irma's family who was a little easy and a little difficult. On one had I knew that she'd have two children at the very least, it just seemed fitting for her to have a son and a daughter like she has an older brother and she and Seroth just really seemed like they'd be people with a big family which is probably why they ended up with three kids, although I was a little back and forth on that matter as to rather it should be 2 or three, it was just too difficult to take Vincent or Irvine out. Vincent and Irvine both take things from their parents that really work. Vincent is the cool guy who likes to joke around and Irvine is the fun guy who likes to flirt, they work rather well together and though it could be argued that just one of them could have all of those traits, the family always seems rather incomplete if one of them is taking out. Irvine was also one of the most liked characters from the posted drafts.
This brought the total to 9. Finally it was, Will's families turn and it was the hardest one is certain aspects, but easier in others. For starters, Will was an only child for a long time, while, Cole has always been an only child, this makes thins to the point that two children could be a possibility, but one child does seem a lot more likely as both could seem rather content with just the one child and Willow being the first child I created for the next gen and staying virtually the same through everything, she seemed the ideal choice to be the only child that Cole and Will would have. This would then take things to how did, Tira and Dawn get left in. Well, first off I took away the other two characters that were involved as Cole and Will had five daughters in the previous draft Willow being their daughter from the very beginning made it easy to always keep her around. Tira and Dawn had been around longer then the other two and were really far more enjoyable characters to me, so I knew if I gave Cole and Will anymore children it would be one of if not both of them.
The deciding factor for this wasn't so much the families history as much as it was things from some of the last written drafts. While, Willow could have easily fit being an only child the thought of doing the Light, Darkness and Twilight thing still always intrigued me, but more then that, two of the earlier drafts I posted were the real deciding factor. Willow was often people's favorite character, or their second favorite and the most liked scene was the one where Willow was with her sisters, who she was a triplet with. [This was during the time of their being five daughters for, Cole and Will] it was a scene that I enjoyed a great deal, in fact it was my favorite scene. Willow's scenes with her sisters and their relationship made me decide that Willow should have two older sisters as it just felt right.
And that brought the total to its current of 12 kids. Now, some things have happened since then that really only added to how the 12 kids work out. My dreams being a bit point on that, which really keeps me from even considering anything else as my dreams are often an ultimate deciding factor in a lot of things and if things are laid out like that in my dreams, then that's how I'll have it.
And that covers the long road as to how I got there with the 12 kids. Something that could have been made a lot easier if I had dreams about them a lot earlier. But even then, sometimes its fun to be able to just toy around with so many different characters, ideas and other things, as it could often lead to different things that enjoy more or even make you decide that what you have now is really the best thing.

Wow so that's how you got there. Really interesting Yeah that's just part of the process sometimes. Like you said: Sometimes it's even fun and can bring you to things you would have never thought of before. So you're up to posting them here, soon? Exciting! Oh and by the way: the Halloween Picture of WITCH is already lined and some Color sets have been set. I'm still not sure I'll make it until Halloween, but I'll try.

Really, there is a great deal more to it then just that, I could have easily mentioned all of the extra little details in-between, like how the characters personalities were, and all of the different names that I used and how those characters differed from the ones I have now and so on and so on.
Yep, and I have a few characters that I like that I created during the process of going over all of these different ideas. Currently they are just, Next Gen exclusive characters and for the most part likely to be villains, but I enjoy certain aspects to them.
Its in my plans, but soon probably isn't the best word for it, "Some random time" might be the best way to go about it. It could be soon, but it could just as easily be months from now. It's all about having everything just right, its been years that I've worked on different things, not just with characters, but with different plots and story arcs and a beginning, I've had about 3 completely different beginnings, and the next beginning just needs to be perfect for the start of the story, and all of the other extra little details need to be decided on. Having it up by Halloween could be a nice goal to have in mind in comparing to how W.I.T.C.H's adventures started on Halloween, but I highly doubt I'll get it up by then. Sometime in December is another nice goal to aim for be it Christmas or be it on my birthday like the last time I made a posted draft was. That is a lot more likely of a goal to happen, but it could happen before then or even so time well after.
Sweet! I'm really excited to see it! In fact I'd hope you'd post even that here or put it on your site or at-least e-mail it too me!

Oh I believe that without any doubt. I think you send me at least two entirely different story parts concerning the same set of characters some years ago. Both had great ides to them but I guess It'll be hard to decide which one to choose or what to combine, etc. I'm eager to get to know those new characters! The evil guys are always the most interesting, if you ask me. Mostly because, the great a person can be, without an evenly great designed evil against him/her, the Person will feel shallow and boring.... Halloween would be awesome but I guess later would be more likely really, after what you've told so far. Anyways it's still great Hearing you're even considering posting it here Haha! Don't worry. I already planned posting it here, as well as my Website AND DA of cause. Well probably the other way around, but who cares.

I'm pretty sure I did too, but from what you sent me through e-mail a couple months back, I believe it was the original posted draft and the second chapter to the second posted draft which at that point was only half way done.
I agree with that at times, its 50/50 with me. Sometimes I think villains are more interesting then the heroes, other times I prefer the heroes. And sometimes a hero does need a great villain to really help them reach that certain point of enjoy as a character, but it also works the other way around with the hero making the villain look better and sometimes some heroes and some villains are so great that they don't need any help making them look better, they are great just by themselves. I don't ever see me liking any of the villains I created more then my heroes. I do have a few villains I really enjoy though, one of which I was able to try something a little different and he is a very intriguing character to me because of it.
Yeah, especially since tomorrow is Halloween, I'd have to stay up all night and be up most of tomorrow just to have a chance to get it posted by then, but even with that its rather unlikely I would make it. Well it would be kinda pointless for me to make a site for my stories and not to post what I feel will be one of my better ones of not my best one. I just have to have everything be just right since I've worked on for so many years.

Earlier on like on the first page of this thread I had went over a few of my likely future stories, so this is another bit of a look at them and the likely hood of when they might be posted since I've been really wanting to get another story up and going.
C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H: This is a story that's hard to say the exact plot too as their are two different plots that I can do with this story and both plots have tons of little extra different detail options that make it rather hard to say when it will be posted. It would be easier to give a time if I actually had a better idea of which plot I want to do. In theory I could take one of the plots and make a new story with it, but I'm not sure if I want to do that or not. The easiest way to describe this story at the moment is to say that it is a story that focuses on two teams of Guardians. At the earliest I'd say this story would be up next year, although that isn't too likely, its the earlier I can give an expected time for it.
Moms and Guardians: The plot for this story is that its been years since W.I.T.C.H retired as Guardians, but now they have to become Guardians again and learn to balance their normal lives with their husbands C.H.A.O.S, their kids and their jobs with their task of becoming Guardians again and getting used to their powers and all that goes with that. While the husbands and the kids will have their importance, W.I.T.C.H is easily the main focus of this story and one I've come up with a few different ideas for that I rather enjoy. This is a story that I'm hoping to get worked on some time soon, I'm hoping before this year is over that I'll be able to get this story posted. I really just need to work on the occasional specific details with W.I.T.C.H and C.H.A.O.S such as things like what their jobs are amongst other little things and once that is done then I should be able to get the story up and going.
C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H Adventures: While originally this was just meant to be a series of 10 one-shots that each focuses on just one of the characters as a solo adventure and how they interact with the other characters, but everything was mostly just about that character and from their perspective. However as time has gone on I've begun thinking that this series could involve other specific one-shots I write that involve any of the characters. I do have a one-shot in mind to be posted here sometime soon called Cole and Will's First Meeting. I'm hoping to have it posted soon, but there is a few other things I need to get out of the way first, but my hope is to have this story up before the year is over.
Journey of the Dreamers: This is my W.I.T.C.H next gen and a story I've been working on and off with for years as it was one of the first stories I ever planned to write and post, but different things kept pushing back and even after I posted the first version different things happened that made me take each posted version down and start over again. Its really hard to give a specific time for when this story will be posted, I'd hope to have it posted before this year is over, but there is a ton of little details that I have to go over before I can even get to the point of writing something for this story.
W.I.T.C.H Cartoon/TV Series Rewrite: The plot for this fits in for how the title is, its taking the cartoon series and just adding in my own little twists and turns to it. I'd like to keep a lot of core points to the series, but also give it my own things. I do have a few different ideas for it, but really I have no specific idea for when it will be written and posted, I could easily decided to do it early or wait a while. Although if I had to narrow it down at least a little then I'd say that next year at the least seems a little bit likely.
W.I.T.C.H Comic Rewrite: The plot for this like the last one fits in for how the title is and also in the sense that I'd like to keep the core points of the comic, but also give it my own things. I do have a few ideas for it, but not many, probably only one that I can say for certain will likely be done. I have no time limit for this story as I'd like to get some of the other stories on this list done or at least get them up and going and a little ways into them before I even begin working on this one. While I can say next year would be the earliest that it would be worked on, a more likely thing is that it will be sometime after that.
Those 6 stories along with War of the Guardians are my main stories and those 6 are the only other ones that I can pretty much guarantee that at some point I would write.

Post by Cole on Nov 12, 2013 2:44:20 GMT -6
Taking my last post here into account, something I want to do is give a little but of an insight into those stories; like maybe something that was or is planned a better general idea of what is to be expected in the story, that type of thing.
Starting from the first story on the last post, C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H.
Now for that story I mentioned having two separate plots and having difficult deciding which one to go with only adding to the difficult is the fact that each of the plots have sub-plot options to follow and I don't know which of those options to go with either and so this story constantly gets shoved close to the back as there is a lot that I can do with it, but at the same time I have no idea where to go with it.
The easiest plot point to go with is that there is two teams of Guardians, now this is something that will stick no matter what, it is the only consistent thing in all of this.
Now the biggest issue to decide is rather there are two separate universes or not. Assuming there are two separate universes, in one universe W.I.T.C.H is gaining the Heart and becoming Guardians while in the other universe C.H.A.O.S at the same time as W.I.T.C.H is becoming guardians of their universe, although they are likely to go by a different name then Guardians, like Knights or something like that.
Now there is numerous different things that could be done with two separate universes. For one they could simply be separated and have no connection at all to each other, C.H.A.O.S probably having its own world that is similar to what Kandrakar is for W.I.T.C.H. It's easy possible that some things could be switched around, like how W.I.T.C.H is a group of girls and C.H.A.O.S is a group of guys, Kandrakar's Oracle is a guy, which C.H.A.O.S's Oracle could be a woman, those type of things. Another thing is that its possible that the two universes get combined together maybe even that the two universes were whole at one point, but for some reason or another they were separated into two universes and C.H.A.O.S Kandrakar like place could actually be Kandrakar, just a piece of it.
So as can be seen there, while there is a lot of interesting things that can be done there, there is a hard decision deciding which one to go with, not to mention that a certain amount of the story would be a two-in-one story going back and forth from C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H which probably isn't too much of an issue since I've had quite a few stories that often do that on a chapter by chapter bases. It's also worth mentioning that C.H.A.O.S world would likely be OC Heavy, meaning that it would be a world filled with a ton of OCs, while W.I.T.C.H's world is filled with canon characters.
Now going with the other plot option is that there is just the one universe, but there has always been two teams of Guardians protecting it. One of the things here to me is making sure that two teams actually fit this and making sure that C.H.A.O.S's powers have a type of history that W.I.T.C.H's powers have so as to help make sure that two teams can fit in nicely.
Something that can make it work though is how all ten major characters are already there together. Many of them already connected to one another by some means or another which in its own way adds something to the story as it really gives me an easy means to have certain characters interact with each other more then I've been able to have them do in other stories. For this the plan would be to mix a decent amount of OCs and canon characters.
Something else worth noting is how, while in some variations, C.H.A.O.S is their normal Ethereal race in most other versions they are humans. This would be quite a different take on C.H.A.O.S as a whole, especially how in this they are meant to be guys who live a normal life, they'd have parents, possibly have siblings and deal with those type of things, things they have never really dealt with before or for the most part haven't dealt with, only really dealing with in certain specific means. This is something that fits with either plot followed.

The next story on the list, Moms and Guardians.
The plot to Moms and Guardians is simply enough. W.I.T.C.H retired from being Guardians to live a normal life and have a family, now years later they are made Guardians again and must learn to balance their family live with their husbands and children and their jobs along with their role of being Guardians one more and re-learning all they have too, to being Guardians again.
Basically its easy to compare it to how things are for them now, only in Moms and Guardians they have more and bigger issues they have to learn to balance then they did when they were teens.
In all honesty there really isn't a great deal to say about this story and that's because for the longest time it really didn't have any specific thing planned for it.
For the most this story was meant to be more of a calmer story mostly just focusing on W.I.T.C.H's every day lives with the occasional Guardians thing thrown into the mix. But I still always highly enjoyed that about this story and it always made me want to work on it, I guess its because of general liking of calmer chapters that just focus on characters and their interactions and their lives more then anything else, they've always appealed to me and this story appealed to me a great deal because of it.
Although I have been able to come up with an idea for it that I rather like quite a bit in which Angelon was attacked by some great evil that destroyed it putting it in ruin and in this living-dead like state. Something that I have pictured in my head, but is rather hard to explain. I find the idea rather intriguing something about it appealed to me and I thought it could be nice to add to this story to give it a bit of a darker edge amongst the normally more calmer and happier moments that are likely to be shown.

The next story on the list C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H Adventures. Each of these stories was really meant to be a series of stories that were meant to be One-Shots.
There really isn't a great deal that could be said about this story since not much has been planned for it. Originally titled C.H.A.O.S Adventures, the stories were inspired by the W.I.T.C.H solo Adventures as there was meant to be 5 stories, one each for C.H.A.O.S focusing on a solo Adventure for them. Although that doesn't mean they would be the only characters appearing, just they'd be the focus on the stories.
A big point of it was to be a lot of focus on my characters to help get people to know them better and for me to be able to establish different connections with C.H.A.O.S amongst each other and with W.I.T.C.H outside of just the member of W.I.T.C.H that C.H.A.O.S is paired with.
The idea to add W.I.T.C.H followed a similar means to show their interaction with each member of C.H.A.O.S and how their group interacts as a whole.
Only two stories have really been considered for this and really only one of them is likely to happen and that is the one with Will. For Will's story someone uses their powers against Will to put herself in Will's life. Tow different options come in from there, on one hand Will ends up living the other girl's live like they have always been that way, on the other route, Will generally doesn't seem to exist. She exists, its just no one knows who she is, not the rest of W.I.T.C.H not C.H.A.O.S, not Kandrakar not even her own mother.
Its really hard to say if there is any type of ending for this series as a whole as recently I've come to the decision of likely adding in another story to this series that doesn't fall under any category, in large part I had no where else to post the story, so adding it to this list is the likely option.
The story focuses on both Cole and Will, which I could possible add it to their solo adventure, but that seems rather unlikely since both of them were focused on equally. It's possible I could add another category to it and instead of just being Solo Adventures, it could be Solo and Pairing Adventures with the solo obviously focusing on one specific character amongst C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H while the pairing would be 5 stories that focus on my pairings for C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H. ColexWill, SerothxIrma, RaphaelxTaranee, HiroxCornelia and KaidoxHay Lin.

The next story on the list is Journey of the Dreamers.
Really, on separate occasions there is a great deal I've already said about Journey of the Dreamers so there really isn't much else to say. It's about the next generation of Guardians which is W.I.T.C.H's daughters. They like their mothers deal with Guardians things and teenager things.
A main thing I can say about this story is that it is meant to be highly OC Heavy. Most of the characters are meant to be OCs, be they important characters, secondary characters are even just characters who stand in the background. There will be some important canon characters such as W.I.T.C.H amongst others, but generally its mostly revolved around OCs.

Next story on the list is W.I.T.C.H Cartoon/TV Series Rewrite.
The title alone explains what this is. Basically just me taking the TV series and adding my own twists and turns to it.
There is a few little possible specifics here like how the 1st season had 26 episodes, so this story could have 26 chapters, assuming I end after 1 season, but assuming I go with the 2nd Season as well which also ended at 26 episodes combined for a total of 52 episodes then this story could go to at the very least 52 chapters, likely cut down for specific Season. It's possible that there could be more then 2 seasons, but I highly doubt it considering that's the series ended at 2 seasons.
There is a few different unique things that have come to mind as a possible thing for some means or another. Such as since I was introduced to W.I.T.C.H by the TV series, originally the series seemed to play out as if Will was Phobos' sister, which is something possible for this, but not a guarantee. Other things like that, that I had thought for the series is possible to be done, but not guarantees.
I do have some rather likely ideas like how C.H.A.O.S is banished from their world by Angelon's king, Cole's father, Siegfried and have to reside on Earth/Heatherfield and teaming up with W.I.T.C.H is a possible way to get them un-banished from Angelon. There are more specifics to the idea, but I do like the idea.
Something that is very important to me to do for this series is keep core elements for it say its easy to establish as the Cartoon/TV series. Problem is, I'm not sure what those core elements need to be. It could be little things, but bigger things would help me. This is I think the biggest issue I've had so far in trying to work on this story.
Little things like W.I.T.C.H being 12 years old like they are at the start of the series could be established.
Anna could be Irma's birth mother. [Although this is something I generally do all of the time anyway]
Laurent's name could be Clubber. Although I think I recall Clubber or Clubberman was his last name in the series and he was just often called Clubber.
Raythor, Miranda and other Cartoon/TV Series exclusive characters could be used. [Although I normally use Raythor and Miranda in my stories, but other exclusive characters from the Cartoon series I don't use could be used for this.
Those are just little things that could be core things done to help establish how this is the Cartoon/TV Series, but I could really use a lot more.

The final story on the list, W.I.T.C.H Comic Rewrite.
A lot of the process that is taking into the W.I.T.C.H Cartoon/TV Series rewrite, I could add here as well. Doing things like cutting it down to Arcs, and having a certain number of chapters per Arc, like 12 for the first Arc as that's how many there was. And how like with the Cartoon/TV Series, this will have my own twists and turns in it being like as if I had actually written the series.
There really isn't much of any ideas planned for this, I do have a possible idea, but its kinda still in a development stage. I think one thing I'm aiming for with this is canon things for my own characters. When I go into this, I'd like to have every little specific detail I can think of for C.H.A.O.S and any other OC I involve in this to be completely decided, so that its like everything that is mentioned with C.H.A.O.S in this is a real canon thing for C.H.A.O.S, not a possible thing that is experimented with like on certain other things.
Another important thing that goes with C.H.A.O.S canon thing is core elements just like with the Cartoon/TV Series. Certain things need to be done to really help establish this as the Comic, core things that really help it stand out like that be they small or big things.
W.I.T.C.H being 14 years old like they were from the start is something.
Yan Lin dying shortly into the story.
Anna being Irma's step-mother.
Chris being Irma's half-brother.
Certain characters who were exclusive to the Cartoon/TV Series may not appear.
Certain things like that, many, many other things are needed for this though.
I will end this on one final note that doesn't really have much of anything to do with this specific story, but does have a little connection to it, but overall I thought it would be fun to mention. Years ago, shortly after I had gotten online I was in a deep conversation with an artist [Whose name I can't recall] about re-doing he W.I.T.C.H Comic. I was mostly meant to be the one who did the story, which she mostly just did the art in comic pages to be more like the W.I.T.C.H Comic, offering up the occasional idea. However over time we had lost touch and the idea fell through. It's rather interesting though to think about what we could have created with the idea back then.

Been a while since anything has been done here, so just a few things here.
First off, working on getting a new home for myself which is still going to take a while, but its something big coming up soon. Rather excited to get a bigger and better home then the one I'm currently living in.
Secondly, I've never really been one to have collections of much of anything, but I do have a bit of a growing W.I.T.C.H collection that I've considered posting images here of. I've considered doing something like making an account on Imageshack or some similar site to post the images to use as a direct link for here. They wouldn't be the best images though considering that all I have is my cell phone to take pictures with, but its something I suppose and something I've considered for a little while.

First of all: Wish you luck with that new home of yours! Funny Thing we both come to move within the same year And really sad it didn't work out with that WITCH Comic you were planning. Might have been pretty nice Do you have those extra Little novels or so they made? Not Comics, but books with small stories in it? I don't. I was always thinking about getting them. I read one once from my Cousin in denmark but that was years ago...

I'm hoping it will be this year. It seems likely, but its so close to the end of they year and holidays are close by, so its no guarantee.
I think it would have been. We both had a few ideas here and there and discussed it every day for like a month or so, but we ended it losing touch with each other, so obviously the whole thing just ended. Really hated it, but those type of things happen.
Not sure entirely what you are referring to. Do you mean the little comic booklet that came with the W.I.T.C.H and Elyon figure as part of McDonalds' thing? If so, then yes I have all 6 of them.

They are these dolls that seem to double as keychains and they come with little comic booklets giving each of the girls a little story. The only place to get them at first was McDonalds, but now you can get them from places like Ebay and Amazon.
Yeah, the merchandise for W.I.T.C.H is a lot larger then I originally though. Dolls, bracelets, cards, posters, puzzles, blankets, sheets, curtains and tons of other things. I live in the US, and Disney did a horrible job of advertising W.I.T.C.H here, so we didn't get a lot of merchandise or much of anything for W.I.T.C.H We got chapter books and the dolls/keychains from McDonalds and to my knowledge that is all we got.
Because of all of that, my whole collection I've been acquiring from Ebay and Amazon.

Something that I used to have was a large document that possessed every idea for a story that I had thought of. It didn't matter how little there was to the idea or even if I knew that I would never actually write the story, I would still write things down for it just so I can have the ideas.
Eventually I ended up erasing the document. There was a lot of stories that I wanted to write that was listed on it, but I couldn't really get anywhere with the stories. I was always stuck on ideas and couldn't make certain things fit or work out, so the idea was to just start from scratch on all, but a few of the stories, stories that I have listed on earlier posts on this thread.
At times I will admit that I do regret the fact that I lost all of the ideas as some of I really enjoyed, but generally I think it was the better move to start all over again.
I will say this though. Sometimes that really bothers me about the whole thing is that certain stories had certain ideas that I really enjoyed a great deal and were ideas that I wanted to use and see played out. However since the stories as a whole I couldn't get to work out the way I wanted it to, meant doing away with the story and the idea. Now its easy to say that the ideas could be used for stories that I know I'm going to write or stories that I am working on, but the issue there is that certain ideas really work better for certain other stories and can be hard to make work for other stories.
I find the whole thing to be rather frustrating to never get to use the ideas and see them play out.

OMG why did you do that?! I never erase any of my ideas. I might ignore them or throw them somewhere far into a dark Corner to be forgotten, but I never erase them or throw them out. You can always use ideas. Might it be to edit them into something new, or use them for an entirely different sotry then thought of at first. I simply Keep them to see how much I've developed the Story from first to last idea.
Gee no wonder you're regretting it. Sure, you can't Change it now but seriousely: Don't do that! You can start over without having to erase all your former ideas!

Its a few reasons really. If I just keep something in my document folders or just my flash-drive, I have a bad habit of erasing things that I just don't deal with and just leave alone, not sure why, but it is something I do often.
I really thought it would help me a lot with things if I just started over on everything. It wasn't just certain ideas, but stories as well that I wanted to get things done with. But I just kept focusing on things I had written down, I couldn't focus on anything else for the stories, but the things I had written. I felt the best thing I could do for all of those stories would be for me to completely erase all of them and start over again.
There are some things I do still have in some degree. Some stories were more original stories that were based on my dreams and I have a document where I have a lot of my dreams written down. Not detail for detail, but the basic plot for each of the dreams.
W.I.T.C.H/Final Fantasy is another story that I did manage to save. I sent it to my own e-mail to save it on my saved mail I deleted from everything else, just keeping it on my saved mail, so it was kinda out of sight and out of mind.
For the longest time I couldn't get much of anything with it, but as of yesterday I was able to take a bit of a different approach with the story. I don't know how far I'll get with it, but at least I have something new to work on with it.

New month and so its a new look for the site.
Its the start of December my favorite month of the year. There is quite a few reasons as to why I love this month, but my favorite thing is just the general feel of this. December is a happier, more joyful month and really just highly enjoyable all around.
Not much has happened recently and Thanksgiving recently passed a few days ago. [Thursday was Thanksgiving for the US, I know that other places celebrate it at different times] because of things like that, the site hasn't been updated for a while.
I've recently been working on Trial Chapters for stories. At this moment I really only did a couple of chapters for C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H. But I'm close to working on a Trial Chapter for the W.I.T.C.H Cartoon/TV Series Rewrite. Mostly this Trial Chapters are more along the liens of beginning chapters. I wrote a few of them for War of the Guardians and I always felt it made it a lot easier to begin the story and things just took off from there.
The Trial Chapters likely won't ever be posted here as they are just things that I write and read later to see how certain events went and see what I do and what I don't like and change what I don't like. Sometimes they don't really amount to much, just that what I have doesn't really work for the story.
I'm not sure how many Trial Chapters I will write and what stories I will write them for. [Outside of the two for C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H I've already written and at least one I plan to write for the W.I.T.C.H Cartoon/TV Series Rewrite] But hopefully one of them could be good enough to lead me into working on a new story or at the very least hopefully it could push a certain story or certain stories a little closer to being worked on.

Earlier today I took the chance to read over the two Trial Chapters I wrote for C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H and the one Trial Chapter for W.I.T.C.H Cartoon/TV Series Rewrite; all of which I wrote yesterday.
It was rather easy to say that that the Cartoon Rewrite was the one I enjoyed the most. I have had a specific idea for the story for quite a while and I enjoyed how it played out. As for C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H I knew a few things I wanted to try for both Trial Chapters since the story has two different possible plots, but I was rather disappointed how they came out.
At this point I think its probably still a bit too early to do away with C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H. But I'm not as interested in the story as I was before I wrote the Trial Chapters. I have a few rather interesting ideas that I highly enjoy for this story, but most of them could rather easily fit into a different story, only a few can only fit in with this story and while they are good ideas to me, there really isn't much else for the story to help with those ideas. So despite this story previously having been one of my higher stories that I wanted to do, I'd say I'd keep the story on the list for now, but its easily at the bottom of the list.
On the flip side a story I had thought was over and I would never write has been giving new life. W.I.T.C.H/Final Fantasy VII. Now so far it isn't at the point that I would add it to me list of stories that I really want to do, but it is a lot better off then what it has been the past few months. I've take a slight bit of a different approach with it, its still somewhat similar to how it previously was, but it has new things for it.
Originally it was C.H.A.O.S, W.I.T.C.H other OCs and other W.I.T.C.H characters placed n the Final Fantasy VII universe. I've been slowly making some changed to whole thing by adding in some more W.I.T.C.H related things. I haven't gone so far as to make W.I.T.C.H Guardians, although if the story comes to a long stop again then that is something I may consider. What I've mostly been working on is aiding in certain W.I.T.C.H places and having them fit in the Final Fantasy VII universe. As of now I'm not sure if it would replace a Final Fantasy VII place or not. But one example I have is Arkhanta is a small farming town. And with certain places certain things are added to it. Like Ari tired of being a lowly farmer goes to Midgar and joins Shinra. Showing complete loyalty to Phobos earns Ari a seat at Phobos' board of Directors; This position gives Air a lot of money and power which he uses to become the mayor of Arkhanta and make its farmers work specifically for him. Different things like that, so I'm really liking the direction the story is slowly starting to go.
So there is some good points and bad points recently when it comes to my stories. W.I.T.C.H Cartoon/TV Series Rewrite is a lot closer to its written phase and I really like some of the things I have for it including one of my favorite ideas for it that involved C.H.A.O.S. C.H.A.O.S and W.I.T.C.H being put down the list and being a little less likely to be written. W.I.T.C.H/Final Fantasy VII being brought back to life and slowly getting to a point that I'm happy with it.
At this point I'm not even sure where those three stories or any of my other stories are going to go. All I can really do at this point is continue to experiment with different things and see how they go.

A short while back I mentioned how I had deleted my document that had all of my old ideas which is something that had some bad points to it losing all of the ideas I had, but at the same time was something I felt I needed to do as nearly all of those story ideas had hit a brick wall and I couldn't do anything else with them, so I thought it would be nice to start over again with everything.
I still feel its bad to have lost all of those ideas since even with the story ideas I didn't care for anymore a lot of them did still have a certain idea I highly enjoyed. But it has also helped quite a bit my W.I.T.C.H/Final Fantasy VII story has actually done a lot better since then and I've started getting some new ideas for a W.I.T.C.H/Final Fantasy VIII story that I never thought of before. So there is always going to be the bad point of losing so many interesting ideas, but things are slowly starting to build back up.
I'm also keeping the stories separated. I have a list of highly likely to be written stories that I really want to write the most and have a lot going for them each of which is completely W.I.T.C.H based. The other list is for all other story ideas that I think of that could be possible, but need a lot of different things considered for them, but are getting there slowly stories such as W.I.T.C.H/Final Fantasy VII and W.I.T.C.H/Final Fantasy VIII. Plus the latter list is also for fusion/crossover W.I.T.C.H stories while the first is just focused on W.I.T.C.H.

The new year is nearly upon us and I have a few things that I'm aiming for.
For one I'd really like to get my new home. I was supposed to get my new home back in November, but things fell through from the other people's side. I've been waiting and ready having everything I need, the other people are just being really slow.
I'd like to try and get War of the Guardians finished. I was actually hoping to have gotten another chapter done before this year was over, but that seems rather unlikely at this point.
And really just get new things written in general. I didn't have much going this year. I write a ton of one-shots, but none of them will ever see the light of day. But as far as actual stories that would be posted here I hope to be able to get a few here at some point next year. I have a few story ideas that I'm working on, trying to get all of the extra little details decided, so it seems highly possible that I will have a few new stories here.
With the new month coming the site will be getting a new look. Not sure what to have for January, any suggestions?
