Update: MGW

[mastergraywolf]

Pretty frustrated lately. I'm having difficulty with job search and my confidence and desire to finish my fanfiction is very fickle. Ironically, I've been caught up in TEXT-based RPG. Isn't that something? But I don't think that requires more passion than a fanfic, atl east not where I am now.

FF.NET and FP.NET has something new here:
* Polls
* Reader Traffic (of author)
* DocX

Reader Traffic tells me how many people went to my profile page or clicked on my stories each month. And huh, a visitor from Vietnam? I received the most hits on August 8th; I hope they are not counting me visiting, but I don't think I returned to FF anytime this month up til now.

Fanfic wise, HOGW received the most hits; TOF is second place but the hits are much lower. Hmm, maybe that does compel me to work on it.

DocX is a file sender, and beta reader gives you the responsibility of reading other words and giving the author a critique. I'm not up to that.

Also...

YOU KNOW WHAT?!

You know what I need to do? I need to stop saying words like "maybe" and "think". It expresses insecurity and not resolve.

Anyways, let's start that right now. Let me speak with resolve and as someone who knows how to look forward. I will start by saying that I should re-write "Howl of Gray Wolf". Simotaneously, I will work on TOF's chapter 13 and ideas on the new rewrite. How does that sound?

Here are the current chapters and what a small sentence on what happens in them:

OK, highlight if you want to see.

1: The Legend of Moo: This is the prologue. It explains Moo, how he was revived, and the creation of the Devious Dragon 4.

2: The dragon lord Moo: The Devious Dragon 4 is introduced (Starting with Jasper) and Moo's plans are revealed.

3: The birth of Tiger: Grey Wolf finds a disk in a village and unlocks it; a baby Tiger appears and he joins the pack. We're introduced to some others of the pack.

4: Trouble making Tiger: Tiger goes too far from the valley and bumps into Jesper's Jells.

5: The surviving tigers: Jesper's monsters attack GW's pack.

6: Monster attack in the villiage: Grey Wolf and Tiger vs Jesper's monsters

7: First appearence of the Dragon lord: Jesper gets killed by Moo; GW is injured by Moo

8: Moochi's first appearence: Mocchi heals GW. 1st appearence

9: The stampede: Zebrasaurian attacks; Basilisk and Tyrant appears. Ragornok appears??

10: Underground Cavern: Syler's Jaggernaughts attack. We find out that Syler is responsible for killing Basilisk's pack. I think Ragnorok dies too.

11: Unlock the phoinex: Rebels fight Naga (Moo advisor) and Syler. Skyfire appears; Syler dies. Gali appears?

12: The demise of Gali: Techno Dragon appears; Gali "dies".
13: The final battle: Rebels fight and defeat Moo.

14: The Eternal Life: Year has passed, gray wolf dies.

So I'm going to review these and figure out how to remake the entire thing. This should be fun right?

Also, I could use an exclusive term to represent my stories and its common themes, such as "Tiger Generation" Tigeration? (both Grey Wolf and Tiger were main characters) or "Team Hero Monster" or "Mon Hero Friends", where the motif is working together. Yes, the names are VERY corny, but I was out of ideas and I just wanted to give out a quick example. Also, the stories are simple and it may contiune to be? Like the anime except more mature due to the violence and language.

There is very very little blood in the Monster Rancher anime and some of the violence seem comical or not that bad. It's kind of silly what the American version has decided to cut out; the biting, whipping, getting blown over by lasers, and the characters flinching when they are hurt does look painful...but I don't think that compares to say poor Tiger spasming from the Black Worm poison, Holly getting cut by the needle or..what else? Can't think of any. In addition, they did cut some scenes out for the commercials.
