Seven Day's Part 7
` Currently Part 7 is about 2/3's of Mettings and has a chance being as big. They will be mostly unchanged for the most part, but might add a little if it makes the ending of a part more a realistic end. No Comment.

He'll be there... He'll die much quicker though and in a painful way.

Anybody know what movie this is from???
It doesn't look like something from the 2 Live action movies. Not from what I can remember, I think I've seen it before somewhere though. I'll ask one of my drinking buddies later about it. He likes horror movies and I think I saw that in one.

Seven Day's Part 7
Time to give you an update on how things are going so far. The fic is progressing along nicely. Got some good plot points out fo the way and stories. I'm currently writing something I didn't expect too which is going well. Won't say what it is but it's some character building event. At the moment 7 days part 7 is now Unedited already 4 times bigger than Part 6. Note it's not finished yet sooo... will be bigger even still. It will not be all fighting as I've pushed in a lot of background story into the plots to make it interesting ( a lot more than has being previewed here). Anyway still no idea on when it'll be finished or when James will have the first half of the story edited so we can show off what has being done so far. But the important thing is the fic is getting done and for a change not being rushed through has an incolplete part. Chances are when I re-edit the past fictions 7 Days will be edited a little so that rather than being 7 uneven parts it'll be maybe 3 or 4 long parts (7 Days Part 7 though will simply change numbering but whats in it will stay the same).

Update plan WG.com and Stars Guyver page
As writing and editing is taking it's time (more than I expected due to ummm... possibly rustyness of both James and myself and being fussier and older when it comes to the stories) I think it's time to look at updating other parts of the site and getting the look and feel of the site updated with more focus being given to Stars Guyver page over the next few Saturdays / Sunday mornings. Basic plan is to put a LOT more non fan-fiction stuff out there so the site isn't just fan-fiction and fan-art (though those will always be most likely the main of the site to those that know it so no we're not about to abadon that, just give better info) WG.com The main holding site will most likely get another face lift after I get a design I like working for Star's Guyver page. I'm not overall happy about the location of the archived websites so they will be getting a front page link. That alone willl change the design but I'll wait until later to do this. For those of you who can't find Leighs Drawing guides etc look in the Guyver Fan Archive of the site. Once this redisgn is done the Archive will be basically just for Fan Work while the Website Archive will be for that. Basically for people with nice small Guyver sites that should be kept up somewhere. GSF will also get a new icon. Overall I'm happier with the new look of the portal to the rest of the site. But it needs some more work. But it gets the job done better than the old cluttered one that used to be there. Stars Guyver Page I'll be starting work on this Saturday the 24th onwards. That doesn't mean on that date there will be an update right away. But from that point on Stars will always be getting focus, attention and scans from my old books and info updated. Website redesigned and updates secheulded. There is A LOT of Guyver stuff that needs to be updated from the many different Guyver offical stories. This will take time, though no where near the amount of time that the fic will take so I expect to have updates week on week depending on what I'm up too hopefully before the end of the month. This weekend for example I "should" have my new laptop. So will spend most fo Saturday moving stuff from my old laptop to my new and getting it working right. WG-Fan-Fic While the editing to the fan-fic itself is taking ages after I get the design for Star's working the way I want I'll use it's Template though modified for the WG Fic site. it will getting a redesign also on Saturdays with Star's so by the time the fic is ready waiting for me to redesign the site won't be an issue. Guyver Message Board There is a new update ready for the messageboard from PHPBB that needs to be applied ot the main messageboard. Once this is done I'll be working on a proper Guyver version of the messageboard and a WG version too (though both will share the same smiles pool etcs). As you probably know the old messageboard has being disabled (mainly to stop the flow of spam it was sending each day with it's loads of bots trying to make a home there to spam porn posts.... Anyway part of Saturdays fortnights focus will be also to get this old version 2 messageboard converted. Updated and put in to a Version 3 messageboard like this one. Once that is done the page leading into the messageboard will be updated to show the archived board and this main one (merging the two isn't an option I can find). But once it's updated to the latest version of PBPBB like this board, it's much easier then to maintain. Has a LOT of old arhived chats are there, which strangely holds must of the ideas we decided on way back then that are only getting wrote into the fan-fic now, losing the old messageboard simply isn't an option. Though neither is leaving it open to constant attack and having it stay outdated. Anyway that's the plan the site. If there is any delays or updates it will be added here and if there is new content into the Updates section of WG.com. If you've any requests for stuff, info etc you want to see on the site. Best to post on this topic. It will be kept updated.

Time War - Unpublished rewrite
Basically it was never completed, simply put it's now out of date considering what is known about the Creators and what is decided for the story.

Seven Day's Part 7
Soon... basically soon has I get back the edited part it will go up as is. On a good note I've wrote another 1500 words getting another decent secontion of the story out of the way... So no more Grakken parts to write after the next major section is done

Ultimus question
Evil Matt Anyway to help fuel this here's some important info that you'd see in the fictions: 1. Max's WGC unit is orginally a Uranus Standard Unit-G (this is important and will be explained more so in Time War). It was modified by the WG2 Universe Gen made Matrix and given a "upgrade" to be a WGC unit. 2. The Giant Unit is a creation of the Gen and made after the "Extinction Device" was made so like all modren test units all the Kavzars and up are capable of using what's basically a modren remover to dart these units and basically kills the Unit off. There is no hiding from this has all weapons on a modren test Unit e.g. shields etc will simply not prevent the weapon from hitting it's target. The debate is though does 1 and 2 together give the Gigant Unit protection when the Test is over?

Time War - Unpublished rewrite
The above is part of a rewrite of Time War that was never published. Overall it's correct and will mostly stay the same in the next rewrite (well that is subject to change, the part about Guyver 0 will change a lot) but it will give you all a better idea of what changes to expect in the final version of the rewrite. This was done about 3 odd years ago... so even then I wasn't too happy with Time War the way it was. The above shows that there was more than just the WG project and even more to the WG project itself (it also explains Krullnar's thoughts in 7 Days Part 7). By the time the 2nd rewrite is done the above will also have a good bit more story added to it and also more history of the Gen's WG project and how it is different to that of the Uranus. Also will answer how Alkanphel fits into the story better and answer how Zeugma was made and why she was chosen to be the new leader of humanity and what she and Kron did to deserve it.

Seven Day's Part 7
The question would be modifed versions of the WG units lets see..... WG Natasha = WG Prototype Type 5 at it's core. Will be modified as per Seven Days. WG Thancus = not saying but it's either one of the two main types. Will leave you guys guessing Damaged WG Unit Dreadnought is hiding is the same as WG Nastaha and Vamore = WG Prototype 5. 5. That's a no commet (oh but it's not hard to guess that won't be answered in 7 Days has no one is hunting for these units).

Next week (Sunday 21st)
*waves at James* Ummm if it's up I've not yet read the edited version either. My guess is James is still working on it.

Appearnace of a Guyver and Teleporting
Just trowing in a wildcard here. Given that a rewrite is in process. What Unit and host in the fan-fiction do you think would be the most powerful (excluding a Matrix enchanced unit that can in theory modify the host)? Importanly why? I'm quoting McAvoy for a reason..... If you guys have being following posts I'd made recently the answer might surprise you.

Ultimus question
That is a good question..... Debate away!

Seven Day's Part 7
Ummm you asking will there be more new ones or if the likes of Faye will be in the story?

Rewrite Choices
I have read up more from the guyver archive information i have and a normal guyver gigantic is almost euqalo to what the fanfic classes as dreadnought and would be way more powerful than ultimus or prometheus so is the real power ever gonna be revealed In the rewrite maybe not, but it will be talked of. But at the moment I've 2 stories planned for "past fiction", basicaly story's spanning from before the time of WG's activation. 1. Has said before will be a retelling of the 2 live action movies but using the Comics has a base for power levels etc and removal of the... ummm... comedy crap and things like humans being able to take on the Guyver without losing body parts. 2. Before WG story line. This is based after the Live action movies. It will mainly focus on ACTF side of the story has the comics fill in everything else needed to know. But where fights need to have changed results the fiction will re-tell those battles with the changed result (e.g. the Zoalord fights). Exceed is one of those battles so it will be in the fan-fiction for that battle.
-
The Cloaked Man - Ummm, bye bye!
There is a very simple reason... that for the moment will get no comment (but I did say in another post on the forum about something else that will hint strongly towards why). You'll see more to the reasons why in Time War when it's rewrote.

Latest Guyver story (Spoilers ahead)
On an updated note. Looks like Guyot's retrun has being given new art in the book 27 with added pages over what was published in the monthly chapters.... Will be a month before I've got it though at a guess but am really looking forward to it.
-
The Cloaked Man - Ummm, bye bye!
Well looks like there will be one victim of the re-write. The cloaked man that appeared time from time in the fan-fic... The Cloaked man was going to be Guyot. He'd allied himself with the Grakken somehow (that was never thought out). He was basically getting the building blocks together to not only rebuild his zoalord form but make himself into a Guyver Zoalord.... Something for some bizzar reason that was never again fully thought out the Grakken would want... So that it could kill the Creators... but after that would he want to kill the Grakken? Yup but as said before it was not fully throught out and at the time the Grakken had a simple blind hatred of well everything which again didn't make sense considering their also had the Mercs join them. Sooo in the re-write this character will be done away with and simply wrote out of existance. Has for Guyot lets see what happens in the books, that will most probably decide his fate unless I view it has a fic ending event (e.g. him capturing Guyver 2 F's unit etc something that basically won't work considering this plot is past the point of cut off for where the fiction changes events).

Fan-Fcition - who do you want more detail on?
It's odd this, but there are times when you're in bed dying form being ill that you've the best ideas. Basically the rewriting idea has had me thinking a lot about the core of what is the fan-fiction. Basically you've 3 stores merged together. 1. The Live Action Guyver movies. 2. The comics from Takaya (based on the Viz translations 1-7 for names and then following books). 3. Fan-fction has it has being the last 10 odd years which overall is grand (I'd not be here if I disliked it) but has many lose treads and ideas from both 1 and 2 that don't quite merge together perfectly. Basically thinking of the rewrites has ideas going through my head and I might has well share some of the ideas that will be present in the rewrite of Union and also what to expect for the next fiction story (has it will not be based after 7 days). Sooo Union: This will start of very differently to how it did before. It will start off an hour before D-Day (Destiny Day). The day that ACTF recaptures Washington DC and will go a lot more heavily into the background of ACTF and give some brief insight into what to expect of story 8 too with Sean having flash backs of events leading up to D-Day. The whole of this part above will have a villain in the shape of a hyper-zoanoid that will be killed by Guyver US after a hard battle. Gone will be the idea of "useless Sean who didn't know how to use his armour without Sho's help". This will be a proper down and dirty fight that a Guyver who defeated a Guyver Zoanoid would be capable of. Sho will head to the USA in the aftermath of the above. A more logical reason will be given for this (news being cut off form the internet and Tetsuro nerdy powers being of use fighting info about an American Guyver and finding proof it's not Agito who they both do not trust. This will lead onto a more realistic rewrite from here and will set the tone for future rewrites. Guyver US: Origins Basically I've come to the conculstion a long time ago that the main foundation to the Fic is the comics of Takaya. Power levels etc are based on this. In fact the whole past present and future of the fan-fiction can in all ways be tied in and with ideas from this because I'm such a fan of his work. Strange Worlds is an example of the movie characters having a more fan-fic level adding to the fiction that works good with how the Zoalords respected and treated Fulton Balcus. As basicaly it's only a fan-fic idea that he's in the same story has Alkanphel. Mutronics (The Guyver) isn't the nicest movie to watch. Taking the above into account I'm not about to blow apart the movies impact to the story and give no respect to the ideas and plot elements that where in it. Saying that it still sucks bad in terms of use of the Guyver and makes complete BUGGER ALL SENSE how that could ever happen in the fan-fiction....... Saying that I will maintain the following Soooo here's how this will work and what to expect in the next story I'll be doing. In the fic named "Guyver US: Origins" you will read about basically the same plot overall that happened in Mutronics BUT with a large has hell exception. The Guyver will be used like it was directly from the Comics of Takaya. Yes Sean will know self defence but when he bitch slaps a human the guys head will fly off killing him instantly. Gone will be the comedy and crap but the story will stay largely the same. It will borrow some elements from the comics in that a new character will be introduced that will be a fore runner to Enzyme 1, something that can die and actually disolve a Guyver... not it magically happening itself. Most important changes will be a heavy backstory to Fulton Balcus the Zoalord in Mutronics. Fulton will still be a Zoalord made byt he Creators. But he's no longer a combo of Alkanphel, Guyot and Valkus but a stand alone character that has to fit into the Guyver books. As such he'll be a Uranus made prototype of a Cotnroller before Alkanphel was made. He is based on reptiles for his zoaform which explains his Zoalord Form. But unlike the movie it will be a lot more lethal and fast. He will use shielding (that would take a full double mega-smasher to kill him because of) and more of the basic powers common to Zoalords. how he fits into Chronos is the next plot and more so how he fits into the Comics and the fic correctly. Fulton Blacus awoke like discribed in the movie. But in more recent times. LA was founded in 1781, as such it's a recent development and gives room to the following idea. Fulton Balcus awoke recently within in the last 100 years. He founded Max Pharmaceuticals in LA. It grew and make zoanoids based on information he had in the site he awakened in that also had a dormant Unit he kept secret. Max Pharmaceutical in the late 80's came into contact with Chronos. by this time the 11 had already decided on and already had the Zoa-crystal for Guyot who would be the 12th Zoalord of Chronos. It was decided for Fulton to remain outside of the 12 but a respected Zoalord none the less. Equal in rank to that of Valkus who was viewed second only to Alkanphel. To tie this more into the fan-fiction and explain the differances in comic and movie stories Fulton will be tied more into the fan-fiction for history. Fulton unlike Alkanphel hates the Gen instead of the Uranus. The Gen used the Utah relic has a test ship (also a for a source of Unit's to use against the Guyver Zoalord much later on). The Gen used information they got from Fulton to find that ship and also Alkanphel (who would have seen Fulton killed off possibly has an uneeded prototype). The Gen used Fulton in their tests of the potyo-type Guyver's. In a battle with the Primitive Guyver (which saw the Relic in Dark Hero's flash backs damage) Fulton was badly hurt. Like Alkanphel he hid in a damaged ship but the damage ship was located in what is now LA. The Unit Fulton took from Utah he could not activate. Unaware it had already being modified by the Gen like all Utah Relics to only activate on lesser zoaforms/humans. this will also give an insight to the Creation of Zeugma (someone again who Fulton hates) that they created from genitc info they got from the sleeping Alkanphel. Yes the Gen knew of him, but viewed him too damaged to be of use and Fulton has basically... a "forgotton needless prototype". In modren times Dr. Tetsu Segawa was trying to figure out a way of unlocking it so Fultron could use it. Fearing this he took the only known unit Fulton had access too. The Utah Relic since being covered in Rock being impossible for him to find. Much lik the movie Fulton in the end will try to remove the Unit G from Sean with his mouth... this gives an opening for Sean to put an end to him with a full Mega-smasher. But the fight will be a much tougher fight not just some giant thing running around that Sean jumps on to cut off an head spike.... "Dark Hero" ties in much easier. Only minor changes to fights to show Sean is more used to his Unit after learning more about his weapons from the fight with Fulton though holds back from using his full powers at times, the unit that pushes him to fight has it puts it (really his own self), that part of him enjoys kicking them around the place. Overall nothing much needs to change here, only it's Guyot who is the zoalord Crain is talking too. Guyot was sent to clean up the mess of Chrons LA. It was from him he got the idea of getting a Guyver unit. It's from captured research from Dr. Tetsu Segawa that he also learned that the Guyver US was not worth his attention personally because possibility that the Creators modified the unit and that Fulton aluded too there being the possibility that they where modified to stop him or another Zoalord from using them. As such he was trying to fix this block and was looking at Chronos research on Relics point and their newly required Unit's to find the answer to Unlocking Fulton's. Though if he could have the Unit it was still worth it. In the end Crain failed, he went to Japan and destroyed his research on LA so Chronos didn't know of his plans for the US Guyver and hoped to capture the Japanese Guyvers who reepesented a more appealing target being unmodifed units. Sooo thats where I am at the mo idea wise for the next story.

Next week (Sunday 21st)
Depends on what needs editing. Time War I see taking awhile has I want to add a lot more about Zeugma, Kron, the Gen, background to the Gen and make Solom a more worthwhile character so when he dies later in Revenge it's a notable heavy loss character wise not just for being the creator of the WG unit. Faye too will also get more development. Rescue will be a major rewrite in large parts. It will be the most serverly edited with parts being removed has well has being added. So that might take a longer while to do. Serven days then also needs edits, but these would be very light along with the W'Kar crossover get some very very light editing more so with names. Strange Worlds then might not be edited at all due to the way it was wrote and stay has is. Faye's character story too would also be fine has is. WG2's story needs major editing in all regards in terms of plot, but the action itself would be fine. So time estimates = no

Seven Day's Part 7
Can't really say what the second paradox is or much about it at the mo has everything about that wouold be a spoiler. Suffice to say it'll have major baring on the story in and more so in the future. the only thing I will say, is this Paradox isn't based on the first. The first one has cleared, if the Creators / Gen wanted to they could now thank WG by removing his unit and wiping out Earth. But now that he's turned into Dreadnought clearly something is up. Something that would stop Krullnar from taking advanced units from Earth, even at the risk Guyver zoa-forms.
-
Next week (Sunday 21st)
Forgot to add what I've done so far has being 13,000 words and James generally adds a lot more action to the story. So what you get in this 2/3's should keep you all going until it's finished. Note I'm in no rush to finish this story has I want to do it right. Also it would be worth poitning out there are a lot of open plot / story circles that would be closed by the time the fic is completele 9or a major part of that part is complete) are still open. Also note the Grakken invovlement in the story is not yet over though very close to being. Thats about it, should be more than enough though to keep you guys going while I work on the rest.
-
Next week (Sunday 21st)
What's being done so far has being given to James for editing. While not finished, at least there willl be an update soon'ish. There will be more to part 7 later.
-
Next week (Sunday 21st)
I've next week off!! Whoho FREE TIME!!! how I miss that stuff. Anyway my main goal after rebuilding a new computer at home is to get the WG fic site more under control. The fic I plan to somehow finish off by the above date. I do not want to rush James on his edit of the story (has he'll also add in some more fights and action etc in the edit) but most of the work that will go into the site will be done then. I'll also post next week when the fiction goes to edit so you all know though that wait won't be too long from here. Once next week is done we should be in a place where I can finally tackle the old stories in the fiction and get them worked out properly and also look towards updating the site and getting new art up and outdated stuff archived. The focus will be less on who did what so the site won't be devided off any more by the authour but by content. This shouldn't take has long has 7 Days Part 7 (which needed to be worked on properly so that it wasn't just some fast slapped up finish on a very long story) so there will be more updates more often once 7 Days is out of the way. For the most part this will be to get the fiction more correct in terms so it's closer to Takaya's work and then we can do new stories Thankfully I'm almost done with the Grakken part of the current story. Thank God!!!

Seven Day's Part 7
The Uranus was where also able to keep secrets from each other and where clearly not a complete collective with one mind one voice. Alkanphel's creation thought us that. One Uranus explains to Alkanphel that he's the leader of human/zoakind and but Alknaphel AND the Uranus taking to him are surprised when the Guyver 0 experiment starts. Take that above fact and apply it to the Gen. Not only do they have a collective but they leave it, some all the time to have a humanoid body. They have big disgreements with each other as shown by their relationship when you consider G'kor and Krullnar and Draven and the ruling council. Has shown even before 7 days in Assassin fiction G'Kor has ignored all attempts of the other 12 to get the Enforcer Kavzar to give up his mission for example. Being somewhat human has brought some vital creative spark to the Gen. But it's also brought with it some magor issues.
