Pokemon! Gotta catch 'em all!

It's 2012, and this is my newest update in a while, and first on my new laptop! Yay! Anyway, Silver City has just finished, and I've started on a new side-story to all my future ones. It's just one with no real plot and one I can go back to anytime. It's called Shipping Delivery and it's based on Pokemon, which each chapter focusing on a different shipping.

In other news, my FictionPress story has begun. The first chapter has been released...with no reviews. Sad face. That's about all the news I have for Lucky to Be Alive, which is the title. Please leave a review so I can upload the next chapter. No review, no next chapter.

The second chapter of Shipping Delivery is coming on, and I have a new poll for my profile, which is the same as the question I'll be asking. Your opinions matter. The question is..."Should I write a novel?" Even though it's been almost two months, that's really and the information I have to give.

First three chapters uploaded!

Silver City has been released, with the first two chapters already available and the third one being uploaded now! Please read them and review them. Only on FanFiction.net. Thank you to alaxbird for being the only reviewer so far. I'm hoping to get more reviewers in, and there is also a major plot twist in Chapter 5, I think.

I don't have much more information to give, so you'll need to read it to find out. Maybe some teasers will satisify you: At least two known people will die, someone shockingly betrays others, Kyra and Wormy are connected...somehow, someone will fall into Champio's hands, someone will fall in love...twice, one of the people they fall in love will die, a villain recommends a hero as a speechwriter which comes into account later, a series of arena battles causes the deaths of many, a known Ratchet & Clank character's brother arrives, and how is Clank involved with a perillous and fatal gravity maze?

Yeah, some teasers there for ya. Might as well throw a question out there, so..."Who is your favourite Ratchet & Clank villain?"

Working chapter titles and release dates

October! And releases dates for Silver City have been finished with the first two chapters being uploaded on November 1 (one in the morning, one in the afternoon) and the rest will be uploaded on a four day basis e.g. Chapter 3 on November 5, Chapter 4 on November 9 etc.

I have also decided to release the working chapter names for Silver City, although they may not be final:
1 - A New Home
2 - Lockdown
3 - The Escapers
4 - Evil Forces
5 - The Clock Tower
6 - Political Oppositions
7 - Slim and Svim
8 - The Underground Highways
9 - Power Play
10 - Fizzy
11 - Apples Falling
12 - Magenta Blood
13 - I Surrender
14 - Brutality
15 - Missing Link
16 - The Hot Springs
17 - Grind for the Future

I made these chapter names back earlier in the year while I was still working on Rise of the Uniposers, but I've changed many of them as they either spoiled some plot twists or were just plain unoriginal. Like Chapter 11 was previously called "Gravity Maze" but I then changed it to "Apples Falling", referencing Isaac Newton's revelation of gravity when he watched an apple fall from a tree.

Plus, two new characters have been woven into the story.
Svim Cognito - Slim's older brother, becomes involved with Corrina starting with Chapter 7
Mandy - A short flexible woman, also becomes involved and later friends with Corrina for the same reason as Svim.
On another note, I have been able to find a way to get Eric and Doris into the story, for completely different reasons. I have also demoted Eric from tritagonist to minor character, as he doesn't try to stop the lockdown. Doris has been demoted too, but only to minor protagonist, as she does do her part.

More information will be released as it gets close to November, with maybe some minor spoilers from early chapters, maybe a synopsis of a chapter or two, however I will not reveal the major plot twist from Chapter 5! You'll have to wait until November 13 until that chapter is released. After a recheck of release dates, it's definite that Chapter 17 (the final chapter) will be released on New Year's Eve.

2012, the start of my third project...

It's a split, not a strike

I have finished what was supposed to be Chapter 4 of Silver City, but is now Chapter 5 because the split of Chapter 1 has happened. The paperwork is done, and Silver City now has 17 chapters instead of sixteen, but this may change if I don't have enough content for one chapter. I am now going to release some character information for Silver City, with all the notable characters you see in the story:

VERY MINOR SPOILERS
Ratchet - of course, he's the protagonist and the one who you stick with until the end
Angela Cross - one of the deuteragonists, who does something shocking in the later chapters
Guy Milligan - newspaper reporter, excellent leadership, and is the leader of the people who escape
Corrina Tars - the brawn of the group, loves to kill stuff, but is always worried about her child, Kyra
Kyra Tars - Corrina's child, only a year old, becomes important in the final chapters (I often forget to put her into parts of chapters)
Luci Ganley - the brains of the group, works at the Clock Tower and can hack into any computer
Wormy - Angela's Worm-droid, useful for espionage and also becomes important
Champio - the antagonist who puts Silver City under lockdown, trying to become Galactic President of Bogon
Doris - a triteragonist, Angela's best friend, still wondering how to add her to the storyline
Eric - a triteragonist, Angela's butcher, still wondering how to add him to the storyline
Other people met are Slim Cognito, Abercrombie Fizzwidget Bot, and maybe some other characters.
SPOILERS END HERE

Those are all of the notable characters so far, and I hope to post some more information soon, like a synopsis of the first few chapters. If there are any spoilers, I'll say so, but remember, only spoilers will be posted here.

Problem

Okay, I must have a serious problem if I have already wrote the first three chapters in about five days! I guess the vacation part hasn't kicked in. Well...for me, this is kind of my vacation. Writing fanfiction. I love it. I'll probably get the whole story done before November, so that's why I have my FictionPress story cutting into that. I'm still thinking about cutting the first chapter into two, and I really want to do that expect there's no good cutting point in the middle. I'll think of something, so hopefully there'll be 17 chapters instead of 16 chapters. Okay, got to go, big rush.

FictionPress story is a go!

I have recently decided to go ahead with the plan for my FictionPress story involving Mark Andrews. I originally considered scrapping the story and left its fate in the balance because I could not come up with a good ending, but now I have decided the ending and will be working on its outline soon. There is little information to give at the moment, because I have no idea of what is going to happen in the middle. All I know is that there's going to be a gang giving Mark a hard time while he tries to find out what happened in his past and what caused the plane he piloted to explode in mid-air. I'm also thinking of adding a government conspiracy somewhere, but at the moment, I can't be too sure. And of course, I need a title. That will be decided soon when I make the outline.

RotU is finished!

Yes, yesterday I uploaded the final chapter of Rise of the Uniposers. It explains what happens after the explosion at the Backup Base and ends on a cliffhanger, leaving a pathway for a sequel if I ever want to write one, which I don't at the moment.

I'm planning to write Silver City over the next few months, with Chapter 1 already finished from previous work, and I am hoping to upload Chapter 1 early November, and try to get the story finished January, meaning I should upload around 5 or 6 chapters a month. During the hiatus I will try and finish at least up to Chapter 10, and I will also be taking a vacation from FanFiction writing until November.

By the way, I do not have an obsession with Angela, it's just her disappearance stemmed good storylines. Also, I'm in love with the second game and the Bogon Galaxy. Now, I'm going to ask you an opinion-based question to get some comments.

"What is your favourite planet from Ratchet & Clank?"

Personally, my favourite is Notak for some reason. I don't why, I just like its darkness and the canals going across the city....in Canal City....

Anyway, leave a response, and I'll see you next time I have some info.
