Its been far too long since I've done anything here. Really aiming to change that. Its just kinda happened this way as I've been very busy with story related things amongst other things.
Some huge process has been made with some things though. Still not ready to proceed on with things just yet though, but I am a lot closer. I'm aiming to try and be here a bit more often then what I have been.

Sounds like a good plan! I've been meaning to be a lot more active here as well. Have some stuff that I didn't uploade here just yet. Maybe I can catch up with that soon.

Yeah the site hasn't gotten much attention lately and that needs to be changed. I don't really have much of anything to add myself just yet though.

So I have some updates for some things. First off Yangi has finally gotten her RPG forum up and running. So everyone needs to check it out! guardian-legacy.freeforums.net/Secondly I have been making some big strides in character roles for my Big Three. I also really need to get back into my story related things for them, but that will get a lot easier when certain character roles are decided. Finally I have been focusing a bit more on other stories as well. None of them are as important to me as my Big Three, but they are still pretty important to me. WITCH Hearts is one such story I've been a little more focus on. I've gone over older versions of it on here before, so won't go too much into depth on that. I haven't decided the exact direction of the story, but I have a few worked out. I'm also 50/50 on rather I should make it into a series like I did the very original version or not. I think things would go a lot better this time around, but I'm still not sure about it. There is a lot too and a very big story to tell. I guess its just a matter of telling the story in one big thing or spreading it out some. I guess it'd mostly come down to the exact direction I decide to take the story. Something else I'm interested in trying with again is other OCs. It was something I did for the original version and it was a lot of fun getting the chance to be allowed to use some many people's OCs. Each one had something unique and special to them that I always felt really added something extra special to the story. Back then though the OCs just has mostly a one chapter appearance. As WITCH Hearts being focused around the Kingdom Hearts universe gave it a ton of worlds and each world had its own specific story. So I was able to have the OCs in different worlds with a specific story fitting to that world. While at the same time not crossing them over into the main story, which isn't something I wanted to do. Each OC did also have a small appearance at the end of the story they appeared in. Kinda as a "Happy Ending" thing. Showing what happened to them after the Heartless threat invading their world was over. I still think something like that could happen for this version as well. But I'm also a bit more open to other options as well. Perhaps as some villainous group. Its partly why I've considered the story to be a series of stories to really have the chance to get to do all of these different ideas. With this the roles would be bigger, but the OCs would be villains. So that's something to keep in mind. There is some other stories where there is the option for other OCs to be involved. I'll give a bit more detail on them at a later time. Its far to early to really do anything with it now, but when I get further to working on the stories I'll be sure to make note of this again. And then anyway interested in their OC appearing could let me know.

War of the Guardians is another story that like WITCH Hearts is very open to the idea of other people's OCs. Its another generally big story with a vast universe to explore and expand on.
However unlike WITCH Hearts there isn't any plan for separate world storylines. Its planned to all just be one big story. I did have an older version of War of the Guardians on here quite a while back, but it didn't work out.
The first few chapters of the story I really liked. But after a while the story kinda lost its direction and a lot of the main characters got shoved to the side. I found it a little difficult to include them as much as I wanted and needed too. There was also various ideas that as the story lost its direction I never got the chance to put into play.
I didn't really get to explore the worlds, characters or teams as much as I initially intended to. And a lot of the teams were very random. I ran out of really good fitting teams to have together and so I just started taking characters with some degree of a connection and putting them together.
The original plot was essentially one team of guardians against all of the other teams of guardians. One team at a time, so it was more like little wars. The team's goal being to take all of the Hearts from the other teams, so they could be the one team of guardians.
Rather they were they good ones or not was actually hard to say for certain. As some of the teams were kinda evilish in their own right and probably didn't deserve to be guardians.
There is a new possible working plot for the story as well though. A bit more fitting to the title too as it goes beyond one team of guardians and essentially has all of them against each other to some degree. Which are good and which are bad is rather uncertain if even any of them.
The first plot is pretty simple. Laid out there in its easy and straightforward concept. The second one is still a working one and so I can't say which is the more likely of the two. Both have nice points and both have negative points.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things go and which route stands out more.

So its been pretty good, I don't know, week or so. Its been a good time of gaining some ideas for stories. No major ideas, but quite a few small ideas for various stories. And that's at least giving me some ideas and things to build upon which is a great start.
I've also been working on quite a few OCs. OCs I aim to have some important roles in my major stories and maybe appear in some other stories all well.
The whole thing has reminded me that I really need to come up with a good section for other characters of mine here. And it also reminds me that I really need to go over the characters' here profiles again. I've never really been good and being able to describe them as much as I'd really like to. And so I really need to go over them and try to do a better job of that at some point.

Between my time being focused on other things and because of various issues with my computer it's been very difficult to try and be here the past few months. It's something I'd hope to remedy, but its hard to say I'd actually be able to be here as often as I'd like.
Since last time I haven't been working on other stories I've noted a few months ago. I ended up essentially setting them to the side for a while and went back to focusing more on My Big Three.
I feel like there have been some big strides in some aspects of them. For starters thanks to a lot of help from Yangi; CHAOS's guardian forms are essentially done. I rarely like to say much of anything is guaranteed and I'd likely stay with that point until I actually post the first chapter to at least one of the big three. However I do like a lot what is there and I don't really see it changing.
CHAOS's symbols/Aurameres are kinda a little close to that same point as the uniforms. Not exact, but kinda close. And so that leaves two of the more major things nearly done.
I could make a similar point about various OCs playing specific roles. There are some that are about to that finished point. I have worked a great deal on some for later arcs/seasons as well. But getting the ones done for the first arc/season are the bigger focus points. I do still feel I have a little ways to go, but things are getting closer.
I've written down a few character and story ideas. Not as many as I'd like to have. So those are currently the bigger things I am focused on right now.
Unfortunately I've also had to take a bit of a step back on some of those things as well. I had various documents that focused on the characters. Some of which placed them together. Such as Seroth and Irma having their things placed together on the same document.
But for some reason that I don't know how it happened that document got corrupted. Rather odd considering its on my flash-drive and it has protections from virus and corruption. But somehow it still got ahold of this document and I am now unable to open it.
So such a thing means I have to start all over on things with the two of them. A difficult task since I can only recall a few of the things I had written down there. As it wasn't just ideas I would use, but things I was considering as well. Rather I used them or not would have been something decided later.
So yeah, that type of issues has set me back a bit on things and so I have to push things off any further. I admit I had no specific timeline for when I'd post something from one of My Big Three. But it felt a lot sooner the other day then it does today.

So once again I have planned to be here more often then what I have been. But once again like with previous times I haven't being do that like I should be.
I've been working on my Big Three of stories gaining some new things here and there. But every time I think I get closer to that point of actually being able to write them something happens. I end up forgetting about some other key things I should be working on and then I have to go and focus on them for a while and more and more things keep popping up like that.
There has also been some personal things that have gotten in the way. Which are things that only those who really, really know me will know what I am referring too. But I still have been working on things to try and get something going.
Not just with my Big Three either. I have some other stories I've worked on some things for. I've even written a few experimental one-shots for them just to get a better feel of certain things.
I think perhaps, especially when it comes to the case of my Big Three that I may be trying a little to much to focus too far ahead and I'm taking in too much. Nothing wrong with having certain things planned ahead. But it can also help to just focus on the first arc of stories or even just the first chapter. Focus on getting the most important things for that and then maybe other things will come a little easier.
I've known for a while that I wouldn't be getting anything up by this year. So I'm hoping maybe sometime next year I can get something going. If things continue a little more at the pace they are going then I think its possible. The more better things go though the more likely I think it could happen that way.

Well since the last time I was here Christmas and my Birthday have come and gone and we've come into the new year. The end of last year and up to this point hasn't been very good for me though. I got sick on my birthday with the flu and I'm still dealing with it nearly two weeks later. Up to this point I haven't spent a single day of 2017 not being sick.
I've gotten the new PS4 Pro and some games for it which is exciting to me, but because of my sickness I still haven't gotten the chance to really play it. I hope to get better soon so I can get to playing it.
I did a desperately needed new computer, but I have had some issues with it that even prevents me from writing. So I'm not sure if this is just current issues that will fix themselves as it updates itself or if I simply need to go and get me a new one.
Something that not even becoming sick has prevented me from enjoying is my first ever CHAOS&WITCH pic! Yangi did such a WONDERFUL job on it and posted it here on her section not too long ago. I tried to have it as the background for here, but unfortunately it was too big! And it really led me to wondering, why I didn't name this site CHAOS&WITCH. I really don't know, its such an obvious thing and CHAOS&WITCH are the main focuses here.
I think I didn't decide on that name just because I knew there would be some other things here. Although the planned things are also connected to CHAOS&WITCH, but maybe there is still the chance of things that aren't connected, so perhaps that's why I didn't go with the name. I really can't remember, but that seems plausible.
So once again into a new year and again hoping to maybe get at least one of my Big Three posted here. I actually figured for quite a few months that it wasn't going to happen in 2016. But I can't say for sure if it will happen this year. I work a lot on things, but something generally tends to go wrong and messes that up. But if everything goes right or at the very least of the issues are small and easy to resolve then I do think its a pretty good chance that at least one of my Big Three could be posted here sometime this year.

Normally when I come here my W.I.T.C.H Cartoon and Comic Rewrite and my Next Gen are my main focuses when it comes to my stories. Hence the reason I refer to them as My Big Three.
There isn't always something to say about them though or at least things I don't feel need to be mentioned. As I am always working on them and so really there is always something to say about them. But there is always tons of various things to it that are being worked on and experimenting on thing to see where they go. So if I were to always note those types of things then there'd be tons of info here on my constant back and forth and uncertainty on what to do or use with certain things.
There are other stories that I work on a little bit as well. But it is just a little bit. Normally only working on them if a specific idea comes to mind or if I come to something of a stopping point with my Big Three.'
Some of those stories are set in different universes. I still use W.I.T.C.H it's just the universe is something like Final Fantasy to give one example.
Other things I'd say are semi W.I.T.C.H universe. Or semi-C.H.A.O.S&W.I.T.C.H universe that I am making it for my things. What I mean by that is that the stories can fit in that type of universe, but I don't think they'd have anything to do with My Big Three. Maybe they could, but maybe they'd also be an alternate universe or their own thing completely.
Like one example would be the W.I.T.C.H video game for GBA. I've considered doing a story version of it. My own thing, so a Rewrite like the Cartoon and Comic are being done. But it's also possible that instead some things from it could be involved in the Cartoon Rewrite. With the latter option then obviously it is part of My Big Three through that connection. If it's not, then it's still in my CHAOS&WITCH universe as naturally it is connected to the W.I.T.C.H universe, but it may not be part of my main stories or focus on things.
Another story is War of the Guardians. It's a story I tried on here a long while back, but it didn't work out like I hoped it would. I've never wanted to give up on the idea though, so I've continued to try and find means to make it work. This story could in some aspects fit in the same CHAOS&WITCH universe, but only in some aspects. As with it all worlds have a Heart and Guardian. Instead of just two teams having Hearts and protecting all worlds. So it's an alternate universe. I think maybe I'd say it's semi CHAOS&WITCH universe, but it has that similar type of feel to it.
Outside of My Big Three; War of the Guardians and W.I.T.C.H video game Rewrite are the next two things I've focused on the most. Even though that hasn't been much. Recently I worked on a few plot ideas for War of the Guardians.
I have two separate documents for the other types of stories I'm working on. My Big Three each has this own section of things just about them. But with the others; one document focuses on stories not in the W.I.T.C.H universe. While others focus on my CHAOS&WITCH universe or are semi connected to it.
Many of the stories listed for CHAOS&WITCH's universe is Rewrites of W.I.T.C.H stories. Such as the W.I.T.C.H video game as noted earlier. While others are more original like the also mentioned War of the Guardians. There is a ton of the W.I.T.C.H stories listed there, practically everyone I've come across like the Solo Adventures and tons of others. Now I can't say for certain if I'd ever get to them or not. I think I may like to, but they currently aren't high priorities.
I will try to at least be a little more up to date with my other considered stories then I have been. As well as keeping up with things for My Big Three. But it really comes down to if I have something rather specific I'd like to note.

So as of now there really still isn't much of anything to give as an update. Things are still kinda where they were last time. It's a little further, but not of major importance to note.
I can say though that I do have a few pictures that I aim to upload soon. Not entirely sure when that soon will be though. But I do aim to post some new pictures at some point.

Been so, so long! But I finally got a bit done here today! Yayyy! So excited about that! I haven't forgotten about the place, just so, so, so much going on! One such thing being that I lost my old, old but good computer. And that meant I lost a lot, including the site I directed link pics to here for. Just got all of that info back the other day and it was actually pretty random. Just random typing in of things into I got all of the info! Not questioning how, just going with it! So finally got a number of pictures listed here, which is great! Plus I have plans for a bit more, later. Exactly how much later, I don't know. Things to NIkly some things for CHAOS's parents were recently finished. I'm just working on some colors and the name I'd like best for them. Once that is decided I have a number of pictures of them to include here. After that it's hard to say. Still got a number of other things in the works, but I can't say for sure when I'll be able to give nay info on that. But Yangi did recently get a lot of work done for her W.I.T.C.H continuation comic. (She even has the cover as the background here for the site.) so go check it out! witch-sovereigns.jimdo.com/And along with it's own site where the comic will be posted. There is a forum for it as well to discuss it. So check it out too! witch-sovereigns.xobor.de/As for here; I've had the thought to change the layout to the site. Exactly what all changes there will be, I honestly can't say at this time. In large part I really don't know myself. I haven't been able to decide exactly how I want it too look. Some things like CHAOS's section I know for certain I want to keep. Other sections I question a bit. Such as actually the W.I.T.C.H canon section. Been a while since I had checked it out, but things about it I do like. The thing is though while the site features art from Yangi and NIkly (As well as keeping options open for a number of things) and such things are a big, big reason for the site. I also have a big intent of my own things; mostly on the point of my stories. In my stories I aim for my own canon, even for WITCH. Yes it changes aspects of their canon. It's not the same thing as my denying those facts though, just me doing something different. It's part of the reason I included the canon section here. I do enjoy the pictures, but it was also as a divider. Over there is the WITCH canon things, while over here is my own changes and such for my stories which is my canon for them in my things. There is a lot of places to get to know W.I.T.C.H's true canon; Yangi herself even has a sited dedicated to it along with her own studies, so I do question it's inclusion here a tiny bit. It's just an example of things though. There is a number of other things that I think maybe it would be great to have here. While other things I question if they should be here, so I don't really know. It could keep everything, but change the layout of things. Change where things are at and maybe I'd like it better. Hard to say for sure, but we'll see.

So for a long, long while I've been on the path of planning to do a W.I.T.C.H cartoon and comic rewrite. So much so that I actually considered them amongst two of my Big Three. Two of what I've view as my most important stories along with my Next Gen.
Recently though I have had the thought though of changing though. Instead of doing the two of them though I've had the thought to just do one, but for it to be a fusion of the two. Or perhaps comparing it even more to an original story is more accurate. Borrowing things from both, but perhaps getting things from other things in the series or being far more original with things.
I'm not really sure what brought up this thought. There is a number of things I can point too, but I can't really recall the first major point that came to mind for it. I can say though that it's not something new for me. Generally when I write stories; stories that I write simply just for some fun or to get back into the flow of writing or to experiment with something I often tend to fuse things together anyway. Such as using characters from the cartoon and the comic. So it's not a new point to me, just a new one I've considered for this point.
I don't think it means I'd never do a cartoon and comic rewrite. Just that I'm pushing them back quite a ways to focus on something else I think could be more important and so the two wouldn't be part of my big stories anymore.
It does mean though that this is kinda starting over again with things. Not completely as there is things from the ideas I have gathered with the cartoon and comic rewrite that I can use. As well as numerous other things outside of just writing that I can carry over. But in a lot of other ways its still like starting over again.
