5 data files away from finishing the Chronos DF section.... Next big target is the ACTF section.

Ok I'm going out on a risk here. But well at times you have to do do these things So what's the risk? The risk is Apolloyn one of the new lethal characters in the offical books. I've posted in here before I think it is Imakarum. Changed by the event in the Ark where Alkanphel awoke him using the built up energy processed in the Ark. It is after that event that Apolloyn showed up taking Zoalord crystals, and defeating one Zoalord and taking his. Imakarum he's suspicious of Valkus when he shows up at Alkanphel's island and simply put for such a powerful Zoalord (even before the Ark he ranked higher than Guyot) he's done nothing since his awakening. Alkanphel has since awoke ahead of time and with great power. I think he's being given the power of those zoa-crystals that Imkarum has taken and it has regenerated him. Now in the fan-fiction a major event changed this (not going to say what yet as I want some surprises in the rewrties) but Imakarum will have the powers shown by Apolloyn and is basically a Master Zoalord in power.

I won't exactly say no comment. But fact is we don't know the full story yet behind the Guyver II F in terms of what the host really wants. Now as for the Unit it's no secret that it will easily tie into the existing story in the fan-fiction. The reason being it's not in use was given in the offical Manga. Valkus said it was unstable and also dam risky to use. They didn't make another. Now the above has nothing to do with Natasha. Her story is tied into the Guyver Zoanoid and Guyver 2's recovered control medal. That story will become linked with the above but Natasha didn't make the artifical control medal she knows of it's design and how it works.

Sorry to hear about that, hard drive crashes are painful... As this is taking awhile to get ready, update for you guys. Something interesting will be in Time War 5.

I'm waiting for the James made version of that. But things like this character can be done at a later date. Important thing at the moment is to get this big update finished so there is a working site in the new templete, not a mixed match pointing at the new folder scrutre and some looking at the old (basically there's lots of HTML errors from that and also it looks having them mixed.

Work sent me to Cork.... (the other side of Ireland to where I am normally) so at the mo not much progress than where I stopped Sunday. I should get some more out of the way tonight. So... Gen Data Files = Complete and ready. Chronos Data Files = about half way. ACTF Data Files = Next big target (main troublesum one here would be Zeugma as I've to think ahead like Kron and plan out what it'll roughly be for the Data File). Grakken Data Files = There's only 3 here, but the main Grakken DF and the Destroyer one need some work. Once those are out of the way, that's the main thing holding back the update out of the way other than lots of HTML work for the art section. Hard to give a good guess on when this will go up, but I'm working on this other than the weekeneds as I too want this update done and want the referances that this update will have for when I travel on the train. The Character profiles while they'll not be there yet (though the working area will be) is deffo something I want for the future.

None yet, but I'll be working it into my re-writes (All Things Change most likely). As for a progress report, I was sailing along through the Chronos data files until I got to Kron and realised... Hmm that needs some major work.

One of the ones is an updated Data File of Guyver 0 including his Gigantic form, Warrior Aceaer and a stealth Wolf armour. Sweet! Any chance on us getting to see robo guyver?! James never gave me an updated one for him, but if he gets one over I'll make sure it goes up.

thanks Another +, found some unpublished Data files that will also be put into this update.

Simply put, the time I'd have to invest in learning about it, then convert what is already there, = no. you've basically just said, forget 3 weekends of work, I'm starting all over again (I won't be doing that, more so as I like the new HTML template for browseing that section of the site). I've invested raw cash into having software to do HTML and to update the look of the existing site, so forget a WG.com wiki, it's never going to happen (more so as I don't just have 1 site here, but multiple sites and they also have their own design from their orginal creators. I want to keep as they were without adverts or any of that crap or a converted wiki look).

This has turned out to be a bigger job than planned. At the moment the amin thing slowing this down is editing the Data Files... I do not want a mixed match set of data files for both the old version and the re-wrote verson of the fan-fiction... So I'm editing them ALL to reflect this... that is a lot of work but in the end it is worth it. Browsing the website in the new template is also one hell of a lot easier, you can with one click go from the Warrior Guyver story to looking at the Chronos Data files, or an ACTF one if you want, or a Grakken or a Gen data file... You can (when they are populated) also do the same to the Character profile section or art. The 3 click rule is in full effect too, making it a much quicker site to work around At the moment the Gen data file section is almost complete, am getting there but it's taking a good long while. after this is done, there will be still some data files out of date, or that will need extra work (Guyver XT9 for example has a completely different history in the re-write). Anyway sorry for the delay guys, but it should all be very worth it.

I've being thinking about a Wiki, but in the end the pros and cons for me resulted in staying with HTML. Pro 1.) This is the biggest one of all. HTML can be configured for off-line content. All the pages in WG-Fic (and later Star's Guyver page which will adopt the new template if I think it's a success) are deisgned for off-line storage. You might ask yourself... umm is that important? the answer is simply "OMG Yes!". When I'm sitting on a train with bugger all signal and I want to know what in Gods name did I name some random character or remember which version of spelling I'm going to use for an offical Zoalord, what do I do? I use an off line version of the website that is stored on my laptop. The latest update will contunie this thrend and will also have a character profiles section (it will not be populated by the time of the next update, but it will be worked on a lot of the next while getting updates each time I upload a rewrote fan-fic). 2) It's just as easy to convert a Word file into a HTML file as it is into a Wiki. 3) You get more control over the structure of the deisgn and can make it more invidual to suit yourself. If you've a Wiki, you've the Wiki look. 4) I'll still have to do the editing... in other words it'll just take as much time. 5) Microsoft Wed Esssentials is like using Word, it's easy to use. 6) All a Wiki is, is a PHP based site, basically a fancy messageboard. It does make things a little easier when done but having the data on the site compete with a database that holds this messageboard isn't something I want to do. In the end I couldn't see a reason to invest the time needed to understand using a Wiki for the site, and with 1) being the most important thing to me it never won out. As for W'Kars and other websites being converted to a Wiki that are in WG.com... thats more for him to deside but again knowing Allen he'd still go for a Dark Anubis like colour scheme and you'd be back where you started Zeus T

ACTF was working off informaiton from the Japanese guyvers, but it was never given much detail... or planning for that matter back in the olden days of fic writing... Yes there will be more story behind that, a lot more. along with Agito's different relationship with Sho. Though bare in mind, unlike the present comics, Agito never returned to battle Sho, as he failed at captuing a second Gigantic Armour. Instead he done something else to try and win back an ally in Sho.

Soon as I finish 400 more htm pages...

Yeah... looking back now, I'd suggest to anyone thinking about writing a story to plan it out first. Talk with someone about the story, and then as they come up with characters go back to their orginal draft and then see where would these characters fit. In a way it is the Assassin Guyver storyline that really got me to focus on the fics weekness which was the Chronos characters were not fully developed and that I spent too much fic time on the "good" characters. Word of advice, the baddy's are only really good when they have a story too. The above is the current draft to the new start of Union. At the moment I keep re-editing it, adding bits in and taking bits away. But what's above should stay mostly in tact now.

Update time, spent last night working my way through part of the Gen data files. None of the powers have changed, but I've to remove things like "Creator Empire" or correct other things like "After humanity's failure"... The Gen don't care that humanity failed for the Uranus to the Gen humanity was pretty much a success and helped their race back from the brink of extinction. This though takes time to do correctly, so I'll be working away at it. I can't upload the stuff I have done as changing the folder structure of the site would mean most of the links in the template wouldn't work.

Update time, I've made a new templete I'm happy with but there is another problem... There are 530 HTM files in the WG fic site..... soo simply put updating them all and redesigning the folder structure is taking a LONG time. A lot longer than I planned. But it's coming along. So while I might not get the update ready this weekend at least most of the nasty work is out of the way.

Ok the messageboard has being updated, and repairs done to the reg process. At the moment this is open so new people can simply activate their own account with a valid email address... and if they know who writes the Guyver story. Next week I'll look into how you modify PHP BB so it's more Guyver like.

Update... there is a new version of PHPBB. Hopefully this will fix most of the problems in one go.

there is a new version of PHPBB released (HOPEFULLY!!! with more anti-spam bot etc). The messageboard will be updated over this weekend as part of the rollout of updates to WG.com

I'll be posting a preview in a week or so to help clear this up. Edit: 15/07/11 Update time... There are things you just don't realise until you start rewriting and really look at what you wrote 10+ years ago and wonder "Ummm what was I on about then" or "Ummm where's the backstory about this place???" Chronos Island is a good example... It's only in Union and never mentioned again. There's no story on how, who discovered it and how anything is linked. So the start of Union will give details on it's discovery and so on. It will also explain how Guyver 1, Guyver 3 and Aptom came to know about the island. I was re-reading Revenge somewhat too and noticed little feeder things that now make no sense... I'd a kinda writers block this week... well that's a little harsh, I'd a long period of moments of "ummm where do I want the story to go from here? Or wouldn't it be better not to just explain everything right away with chronos but instead bring that into the story?"... So not exactly a huge amount of progress number wise on the word count but storywise I'm adding some plots in that I didn't have their before.

I aggree there, but my first concern is getting the Messageboard to work correctly, rather than making it look good (though I've a load of stuff I would like to do to make it more Guyver / WG like....)

There isn't going to be a prologue in the story this time, instead it starts off with the view points of the two respective leaders of ACTF and Chronos USA 4 days before ACTF is due to strike.
