Weltall2 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I was wondering, if the authors Andre Harmon, Allan Lucas, and Mike Cox will pick their stories up or if the other active writers will? I know about real life issues and all. However I like all of the stories here, and I would at least like to know their fate. Thanks regards. Quote
McAvoy Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Allen goes hibernation so soon he will show up soon or later. Chances are he will write more stories. Don't know about the others. Remember that the site in the past year has been semi active with the return of Brian. But the other havent written stories in several years. There may be a possibility that they might not continue their stories. Quote

I know about real life issues and all. However I like all of the stories here, and I would at least like to know their fate. Thanks regards. Andre Harmon suffers from what all men dread... he's married with kids! Allen is still around stalking though suffers from half of what Andre does... he's just married. Though I havn't chatted with him in a month ish so you never know he could be a dad by this stage... Mike is finishing Uni. Hense busy making sure he gets whatever you call a Degree in the states. It's unlikely Andre in the near future will continue his story. Maybe someday when his kids are less demanding (like that ever happens!) he'll get free time again to write. But we're talking a long time off here. Between James and myself once the re-writes are done and the site major update has begun then we'll continue on his story (and do a re-write of his older stuff, but for me that's mainly to fix small parts up not do total re-writes on the likes of Time War. Mainly the aim for me would be to remove the "script" look of his early stories and make sure events tie in with the re-write (though as seen with Time War the re-write is also designed to explain events in Matt's and Andre's stories). The new format of the site will be based on the story not the person writing it, so the Nova Guyver fiction can be continued on by us and we can show what has being planned for that story. Allen's group of stories will continue by him. but at the moment if anything my decsion to go back and re-write stories in a major way has slowed down his progress. So at the moment after Time War at the same time I'm re-writing Union I might also be getting the plan and story started for Story 8 so Allen can continue his fic. That or he could always go back to do some GWOTG re-writes of his own... you never know with Allen. Mike plans on coming back and writing more Chronicles and the Guyver XT story. just he's busy for the next year'ish. Quote
McAvoy Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Mike is finishing Uni. Hense busy making sure he gets whatever you call a Degree in the states. It's called a degree here too. Better get that first. Writing fanfics don't pay the bills. I think alot of people forget how long ago this site has started. Pretty much everyone here was young and didn't have alot of responsibility back then. Now they're all grown up. I mean it's it's been what 13 or 14 years now? Quote
OnyxPhoenix Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Too true, McAvoy. And to boot, us suffering fan fic lovers have been very demanding, haven't we? Still, after all these yrs, the fellas have not given up the one thing that keeps this site around: imagination. Thanks for keeping to the grindstone, guys. The work is appreciated and admired. Quote
guyverfanatic Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I've been a fan since 1999 myself. Keep up the good work guys! Quote
McAvoy Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I have to look it up but I was a fan when Revenge Part 2 was the newest story. I guess though, you have to be thankful for what we have got so far. For awhile I didn't think the site would be updated anymore and be more of a shrine of what was. I am also reminded of what Matt has once said years ago. That many fans of the Guyver use this site to get most of their information and mistaken it for the real thing. That and using this site and the characters and doing a be-all-end-all character that can sneeze and destroy the moon type of thing. Instead of using the manga Guyver or even the anime or movies as a jumping off point, they use this site instead. For the most part I agree. So I can understand from that standpoint where it was tiring. So that could be one reason. Quote
Juggernought Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 *sigh* if only i was a bored millionaire or billionaire with a huge interest in guyver...the things we could accomplish. Quote

So I can understand from that standpoint where it was tiring. So that could be one reason. In the end, that's something for me I couldn't care about. What other people write is their own business. But we're talking two totally different times here which is why I'm re-writing the story to fix it up at the moment. 1998 to 2007 you might as well call the Dark Ages for Guyver fans. We only really has books 1 to 7 translated. We could only see fancy pics of the new stuff and basically guess what was happening or being said. The fan-fiction of that time is basically the result of that. So no wonder people would look at what we guessed. Then basically say "Well at least their stuff is in English, lets use that!".... If anything this site going quite after that and me basically getting fed up with the story and the site going into a go slow was dam good for Guyver in general (though it was a painful time for this site). The guys at Japan Ledgent (or The Guyver.net at the time) got it together and got basically what is the real Guyver story out there. Anyone who wants to read the proper Guyver story can go there and read it, and read the offical data files and know just how things are meant to runa nd run properly ion the Guyver universe. Simply put if it wasn't for their translated work I wouldn't be back writing a Guyver story again. Guyver II F being another reason, I'd lost intrest in Guyver so much I didn't know she existed for a long while. one bored day in work I stumbled onto Guyver on Wikipedia and reading the "Guyvers" section thought to muyself.... "Who the hell is Guyver II F?" that got me back into reading the offical story. I've it fully downloaded on my PC. The result of reading it, I deffo wouldn't be back writing the Warrior Guyver fan-fiction as it lost touch with the offical Guyver story pretty much from the moment Time War started. After spending a month or so reading my old stories and reading the officlal one, lets just say... it took some effort and raw love of the story to think to myself it was fixable if things where wrote in a certain way... The DBZ style for one pretty much was something I wanted to shoot right away. Stroy is what's important, characters have to be interesting, even pass "throw away" characters like Lostude shouldn't be just brought into the story for 1 second to be bascially killed by Warrior Alknaphel soon as he appears.... Yuo guys know the rest, the re-writes have started since and 7 Days is finally finished! (Thank god for that). Simply put at this moment in time the fic is being writed to do it properly and show you guys what it should have being like from the get go if we actually knew then what we do now. In short the next year or so should be intersting, so bare with us. It won't be quick, but for you long term fans it should be worth it. Quote
Azaar Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Question: Will this mean that the overall power levels will be lowered for the fan-fiction characters, or remain about where they are presently? Quote
guyverfanatic Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Question: Will this mean that the overall power levels will be lowered for the fan-fiction characters, or remain about where they are presently? I was thinking more powerful when considering that the gigantic guyver's megasmashers are 100x more powerful than a regular guyver's. Quote
Sully Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Question: Will this mean that the overall power levels will be lowered for the fan-fiction characters, or remain about where they are presently? I was thinking more powerful when considering that the gigantic guyver's megasmashers are 100x more powerful than a regular guyver's. You're both wrong... Power Levels for most fan-fiction characters will stay as they are. The power level for a Gignatic will be corrected, making it one of the most powerful Guyvers until Agito makes his Zeus armour. in rough power level terms Black Nova would be about equal to a Gignatic Guyver but while she's got great gravity based attacks Gigantic Guyver could nuke her with it's mega-smasher. Dreadnought as said before, is basically a Stable version without the added hight of the Gignatic Exceed in terms of power level. So basically the fan-fiction stay's in line powerlevel wise with the offical story. Quote
jedi-guyver Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 What about someone like proto-guyver? How will his powers be adjusted? Quote
Sully Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 What about someone like proto-guyver? How will his powers be adjusted? his powers stay the same, the main correction is in that of the Gagantic Guyver, Kron and Agito's Zeus armour. Quote
*zeo Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Zoalords would also be shown as more powerful as they compare to the Gigantic and add the newer details we have learned from the manga on what they are capable of doing... Quote
Weltall2 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Okay, so will the Elite zoalords still recieve a power boost over Disciple zoalords? Quote
Sully Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Okay, so will the Elite zoalords still recieve a power boost over Disciple zoalords? Not exactly power boost. Zoalords are bacially made more harder to kill and more anti-Guyver. Basically what happened to Imakarum minus the giant space ship giving him Alkanphel levesl of energy. Zoalords like Prug'stall get more regen abilites, so if a hole was blasted through his chest again, he'd get back up and laugh. Quote
Azaar Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Chronos will basically be far more a genuine threat than we had initially believed. That will be great to see when it all comes together. Quote
Sully Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Chronos will basically be far more a genuine threat than we had initially believed. That will be great to see when it all comes together. Yes, basically Chronos has being fighting Guyvers for 4 years+ by the time of the fan-fiction. They've lost heavily, Zoalords almost killed (in Prug'stalls case he was technically dead for awhile and brought back to life), defeated cut in half... Chronos wouldn't have gone through that and recovered without developing and planning for more combat against the Guyvers. The main difference here to the offical story though is that Alkanphel knows the events that lead up to the paradox. This has twisted the timeline of the offical story and even for Alkanphel unexpected events have happened. After the Dragon Lord event it marked a turning point in the story. Agito's defeat at the same time in Arizona mean what we see now happening in the current offical story won't happen the same way in the fan-fiction. Sho won't be dragged out of hiding into a battle by Agito and Zeus Thunderbolt (quite the opposit as Agito is forced to come to him for help, speanding instead the last 6 months perfecting the Shizu clone). Apollon doesn't happen, what happened to Prug'stall and Khan is answered around this point. Basically the battle as I see it in that fan-fiction would be Guyver 3 and Gigantic Guyver v Rogue Zoalords, Guyot and Valcuria v Chronos. And even then it's more complex than that. So out of this story where in the fan-fiction it's clear of one result, the Rogues lose, Guyot dies and Valcuria escapes. Chronos has learned a lot and becomes stronger, by the time of Union Chronos has all the 12 Zoalords back in power. They didn't do that by losing, and they didn't do that by having those defeated before keeping their old weeknesses that lead to their defeat. Quote
McAvoy Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 It was always hinted in the old stories that Agito was defeated early on by Chronos. I may be getting the universes mixed up, but it was during the first intro of the stable proto zoalords against Zeus Thunderbolt. It's going to be far more interesting now with Warrior Guyver not being most powerful Guyver. From what I can gather is that Sully you made the Gigantic Guyver 800 men with all the official abilities right? Quote

Yes, but even with the lack of a Gigantic the Libtertus should have made a huge fight of it. there's no real story to it, no sense of lost. No how did Agito escape etc. In short there's some good story to give. It's going to be far more interesting now with Warrior Guyver not being most powerful Guyver. From what I can gather is that Sully you made the Gigantic Guyver 800 men with all the official abilities right? Basically yup, the Gigantic in the fan-fic now in the re-write is basically the same as the comics. Meaning Warrior Guyver isn't the most powerful around. Quote
McAvoy Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 That will be an interesting story though. I take it, when you get around to doing story 0 this will be told? Quote
Sully Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 That will be an interesting story though. I take it, when you get around to doing story 0 this will be told? Yup, once the re-write is done and the fic is moving forward again and Takaya has finished is current major arc then I'll go back to it. Quote
McAvoy Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I think you got time Sully. It takes years for him to finish a story arc... Quote
Weltall2 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 Looking back I neglected to ask if Matt was going to start writing again? If not will someoneelse pick up where he left off? It's just ideally like warriorguyver C's story, and it would be a shame to remain unfinished. Quote
