Next new Story = Assassin Guyver

[Sully]

Hey all,

Not much progress on Time War the last few days. But instead I've being reading up on Great War of the Guyvers to remind me about the life of Ira. As you guys know already from Meetings of the Warriors and 7 Days, Ira is in the WG-Fic universe. 7 Days shows her frozen in a Chronos bio-tube.

The next story will cover what happened to Ira from Meetings to that point and a little beyond. The story is mostly reflext on her life in the Great War storys so will have a lot re-caps of what you already know as this will be an introduction of the character, what motivates her and basically establishing her into the Assassin Guyver story and the WG fic universe.

Ofc the story will also focus on the other Assassin Guyver Isis the Guyver 4 but to a lot lesser extent than the past 2 stories.

The story is already about 3000 words in.

Sweet! I look forward to reading it!

Looking at the story I'll be walking a bit of a tightrope.

As you guys know I've gone through a bit of a Guyver "must be correct to the comics" stage lately. Which I feel has greatly paid off, with a better story overall for a fan-fic and also made Dreadnought not so overpowered bringing the fan-fic back in line with what the comics do currently. So much so things will be rewrote in the WG fic to match up better with the comics.

Here's the problem, Allen went really out into his own good story. But it's not in anyway compatable with the comics for the use of Creators for example. None of this makes it a bad story, just it makes it harder to fit in to the way I want the WG-Fic now.

So a lot of this will new Assassin story will have to walk the tightrope of explaining how the Great War happened so differently that we have those events (so something somewhere happened in that fics universe that greatly changed events). To then what Ira gets up to in Chronos hands to basically not only have a good story, but one which makes sense when you read it.

There will also be some nice things added into it. For example the day Ira got her unit, a short story Allen never published will be brought into this story and expanded on. Overall Ira will have an interesting story to tell and also to find out how different the world she lives in now is to her own. :

Well, parallel realities can be completely different from each other and don't really need a common point in history. What separates one universe from another could begin right from the birth of that universe and doesn't have to be some divergence from a choice made by some sentient being. Even the physical laws could be different, like the speed of light, etc could be different values and that's enough to create a completely different parallel reality.

Allen already introduced the idea of many alternate realities and you can just expand on that and not be tied to the Manga for his characters. Think that better helps show how different the WG universe is from his...

Sweet can't wait sully, and zeo nice to see your still alive.

You're right James, best not get too tied up on what exactly changed in the Great War Universe for life to be sooo different there and basically focus on stroy telling.

After reading Allen's fic, the story will focus only on Ira's view of the Great War. So the stories told will only be what she saw, or stories of what she herd from other people. It will start with her activation and go from there. Most of you probably haven't read that. Allen never kept it published for long, was a nice simple 1000 word story. But it wasn't his finest work so he didn't put it on-line. But he did e-mail it to me as this story has being in the planning stages for a VERY long time (much like 7 days). That's also the reason I feel I must get this story done before the next WG fic story.

The story isn't going to repeat much of Meetings if at all. And will pretty much end when the Jy-Taki ruin Ira's control medal (not exactly a spoiler since ye know from Meeting's she's regenerated by Krullnar from her grave).

The sites going through it's quite summer phase at the mo judging by the number of posts.

On the new frotn both the Assassin Guyver story 3 and the Time War rewrite are progressing along nicely though it is a little strangr writing a story with a large part base in another persons story based on an Takaya's work. But it's getting there. No eta yet on either story but when they are complete they will be posted up. :

P.S. James ia bout 1/3 the way through 7 days part 7 on his edit.

Yeah, not many topics to talk hence the lack of activity... >_>

I was actually going to ask how far James was editing on the 7 Days of Hell Part 7, but I forgot.

cool will be looking forward to when its ready to read Bri

A little late... but I figure my two cents are pretty important here

One of my major issues that has ALWAYS been with GWOTG is that I was like 14 when I started them. Well I'm 26 now, and frankly my writing ability, character development, and overall plot design has improved so dramatically I might as well be Shakespeare reading Dr. Seuss. If I had to do it all again, GWOTG would follow a set general path, but for the most part would change dramatically. Including the removal of many extraneous plot lines and characters that really had no real purpose.

And of course one of the worst things was that when WG and GWOTG fan fics started, Guyver was for all intents and purposes dead. There was EXTREMELY limited information on what the backdrop of the series was. We didn't have beyond like book 12 or something like that for years and years. So our information was not only incomplete, but often mistranslated as well. That kind of left us with a very small scope on which to look, not that I'm putting blame down or anything, but it was tough working with only half a pencil and a ripped piece of paper.

I will probably one day either sit down and do a rewrite of GWOTG, or simply sum up a redo of everything I feel should be altered and what characters should be removed. Any opinions?

Well, if you decided to a major redo til you are satisfied with the final project. Go right ahead!

You actually had an actual pencil!?! And what is this "PA-per" stuff of which you speak?

*looks over at his concrete slab and sharp rock*

Ahhh... Those were the days...

*Suddenly feels old*

*Realizes Brian and James are older, and feels slightly better*

For the most part I'd say leave those stories up, just remove them from your version of "canon" and give them their own area. The storyline that you currently are working on and developing I'd say just do what Brian did and give some more background stories to main characters, clear up some old mysteries from that past which will of course lead into newer ones, and just make things flow more i guess.

this is up to Allen, but in the end this is the advantage of the WG.com site. It's a LOT bigger than my older hosts. So yeah, I've no issues of archiving the older versions of the Great War site IF Allen ways. In the end this is up to him. Me I did not want to simply erase what I did in the past. Yup it's not my best work, but in the end it was fun, I still enjoy writing with characters I created, my friends created and Takaya's own and thinking what fun they could get up to and writing it down... on PC... This paper stuff Allen talks of... wasn't that like years ago? might be what Matt said.. something I forgot completely!

Anyway Allen will have to decide for himself and once he does I'll be calling a team meeting soon and getting some sort of upgrade plan going. Now that he's back and most likely going to work on the Great War it's time I got WG.com's holding area working correctly. The main thing for me is from the next update on it will be easier to read site news. So on the front page part of it will be the updates section of the site. So site updates will be something you don't need to search for and will be right there. So if GWOTG updates or WG-fic or Star's (I've forgotten a bit about that poor part of my site). You'll see right away.

Nice to see you back Allen.

Generally thinking your first saga would definitely need some redoing. As far what needs to be removed or heavily re-edited is up to you though.
