Welp, here's to luck, and Iruni's perseverance, along with me trying to actually do work for once. Chapter 7: Nocturnal Serenade.

http://anime.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600049220&chapter=7

As usual, Iruni gets props for his usual editing bonanza. The rest of you can read and hopefully leave some comments to either a. inflate my non-existent ego a bit, or b. just leave general comments and thoughts. Be sure to list errors you find, and so on.

Now I get to go nuts with Silver Wings. Yay!

Note: this chapter post's picture has a very, very, very small relevance factor.

Sigh... Here's my list of thanks to those who've been kind enough to chat me up with comments, or leave reviews.

Spog, Iruni, Espy, and Psyence. Thanks all, you were quite supportive. And thanks to the silent readers who skim my work whoever you may be.

>>2244
D'awwww, you're adorable.

Ok, here we are. Felt this chapter needed an actual response on here, and no Spog, screencaps from HalfLife: Full Life Consequences do not count.

Alright then, let's go, or as the French say, allons-y!

First off, I'll restate that this might be my favorite chapter of your reconstruction so far. The character interactions and the development went very well. As always, Hex has that cute, shy charm, and Dante always likes to put himself in the middle of things. Also, how can Dante expect Aiya to eat her vegetables? Doesn't he know that Grass isn't very effective on Fire types?

No one? Ok, bad joke, moving on...

Back on the Hex subject, I'm really liking how her character is starting to shape and form itself. It's vastly different from her initial incarnation, and I'm not even sure how far or how much more it'll change. But know this, it hasn't gone over-the-top yet, so don't worry about any of that. And, if you think you're going astray, you know I can help out if you need it.

It's nice to see that some of the stylistic suggestions I made in the beta-draft made it in. However, with me reading this final draft, I did spot a few errors I missed, which I can point out to you in your earliest convenience.

Hope you enjoy the pic, Pokemon and Doctor Who rarely coincide, so it's best to take the opportunities when they arise.

>>2257

Cannot unsee! D:

Oh god, it's even more clear here.

Well... SW is moving along again finally. I hit a rough patch when some life matters exploded in my face, but its all good now I think.

Lots of ideas and stuff floating around that I've been trying to pick through. Iruni's been putting up me bantering for a bit. I've been on a frenzy.

It's been difficult for me to not throw in the kitchen sink on SW and keep it as simple as its meant to be. Kitchen sinks are being saved for SaP... and even that is not a good place for them. Avoiding Slash or Skyler levels of EPIC are kind of my goal here.

People are the key. But look at me still bantering. That's this update done I think, oh wait, I forgot to say I have no idea when the next SW chapter will be out. Either way I'll keep working when I can and stuff.

Catch y'all later.

>>2273
Dude. Jabberwocky. Don't force your writing process. That's when everything will go to shit.

And on a related note...

Don't be bitch.

>>2286
A bit late on that last piece of advice there M.S.

>>2289
It was for future reference my friend.

Well, I know I haven't been updating much, and also I admit my progress has been really disappointing as of late. But though I don't have an excuse, I will soon because THIS Sunday is the first Sunday where I have to start helping my old high school with their annual spring play.

This has of course soured my mood considerably, because I was actually IN THE MOOD to write today, but no... I gotta go do volunteer work. It's kind of silly really, but even without the usual distractions I used to have, I seem to have slipped back into old haunts known as video games, flash games, and random youtube videos.

Not sure when I'll have this next chapter of SW done, as I have no deadline. Heh... I'm turning into Slash Firestorm with my update schedule here. That's probably not good, especially since I don't really have anything in my life interfering.

Let's see what I can do with this update now to turn it into something story related. Hmm... nothing really. Silver Wings has an estimated 6 or so chapters left in it, and God knows how many Sin and Punishment has left.

This chapter has my personal goal of being the last childhood sequence. After that I'll skip about 10 years to Chester's trainer years and thus the meat of the story.

Sin and Punishment... well there's a few goals I know I want to reach in sequence. I also need to introduce the Do... I mean Looker when the time comes.

SO... in the mean time, have an awesome link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws2EWqfjGBc

I will get SW done eventually. But Iruni can tell you I'm plagued by distractions. So don't be to expectant of anything. At this rate I'll update something by next year.

Slash Firestorm, eat your heart out.

>>2335

Who's Slash Firestorm?

>>2336
Never you mind.

Hiatus for six months before updating. Get on Slash's level.

>>2338
Got it in one. I already got 2 months under my belt, what's four more?

Seriously though, I am trying to update... but my attention keeps wandering elsewhere.

Well, I figured I'd say what was going on since it's been awhile. Chapter 5 was finished awhile ago and still has yet to be edited. But for those curious, it's titled Childhood's End. I started on Chapter 6 before I got 5 back and I think I'll be holding off on editing and publishing so I can spend more time writing.

This whole write, edit, publish pattern is kind of getting to me. So if you don't like the fact that I have a chapter hot and ready to publish... in a sense, and want to read it right now... tough.

Catch y'all later!

>>2369
It rather makes sense, especially if it reduces your stress. I don't get easily stressed about writing so much, so I'm pretty comfortable with the write, edit, publish pattern.

So I'm gonna have to agree with you doing a pattern most comfortable for you, since the last one was pissing you off so much.

>>2369
>2/1/11
>Posted on 3/1/11

Yes! He's a month out of sync with the rest of time!
Just as planned.

Stuff happened, and thus there was no more stuff to do. This isn't an update so much as incoherent rambling because I feel like it. Though if you want some form of news, Chapter 6 is coming to a rushed completion which I hope will be lengthened with Iruni's help when the time comes.

It's got all the main points I need so far, so that's good. After I finish this chapter I believe I'll start editing because... I need to have a good long brainstorm session to plan out exactly how and when the rest of SW takes place.

End of line.

And this stuff happens to be chapter 5 of SW for your reading pleasure. Thanks to Iruni and Spog as usual. Iruni for beta-ing and being bull headed at pushing me through dull moments to beat this one out, and spog for just being spog.

Chapter 5: Childhood's End

http://anime.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600049482&chapter=5

Check this out! Chapter 6: Shift of Responsibility.

http://anime.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600049482&chapter=6

Usual thanks to Iruni and all who reviewed and bothered to chat with me about what they thought. I appreciate it. Read and enjoy, as always.

>>2460
Random update-ish. Chapter 7 is kinda just sitting at a starting point, but it's started at least. That aside, I think it's almost time for another post that revolves around my story teams. The next post I put up will feature the battle moves of Chester's team, so anyone who hasn't yet read Chapter 6, get hustlin' cuz otherwise it gonna be full o' spoilers!

Catch you later.

Chapter 7 ain't done jack diddly. Well that's a lie, it has, just not a lot. Though its better than nothing right?

To commemorate the event... I an shouting out that... SW has 4242 hits as of this moment... so not only is it the answer to life the universe and everything... but it does it TWICE OVER... Oh yeah!

Hoooo-ly shit!!

Well... Progress is dodgey at best... but... eh who am I kidding, progress keeps getting stalled because I'm getting distracted. I do have a goal of the 19th but at this rate I'm not going to make it.

I'll maybe have something after I emerge from being buried in Conduit 2 and Portal 2 for a month or so. Only 4 days till launch of those... 4 days to complete Ch 7... the race is on.

So, I've been looking around after hearing end of the world rumblings about May 21st. This is news to me, especially after being more inclined to look at the Mayans. Really in my mind the world isn't going to end when we predict it. However it is something interesting. If you wake up on Earth on May 22, it means you're in Hell... so if we're all living the same life we were, doesn't that mean that life as we know it, the daily grind and routine, does that mean that life as we know it is Hell?

That aside, people die every day. As far as I can see, the whole idea of calculating the end of the world was coined by the Mayan's first. The concept of the universe itself ending is also kind of silly. I think what's really terrifying though, especially after watching so much Doctor Who, is what exactly is believed to happen.

"Join with God" "Be at God's right hand" "Do God's will and polish his throne and tend to him"

Not exactly perfect quotations but isn't this slavery... or perhaps consumption by a large organism? I find that in the case of religion and wherever we got the ideas for it from; crazy hermits in the desert in the dark ages, how do they work? I find that the Doctor's quote "A footprint doesn't always look like a boot" quite apt.

So if you find yourself looking into the light on March 21, keep in mind it may be the light of some cosmic angler that'll eat your brain, or just eat you. Somehow I'm kind of thinking of that movie I didn't go see where all these ships shine a light on you and steal your brain. I forget the name. Either way, I think the world will be perfectly fine on the 22. But that's just me.

Who knows, maybe it's Vogons.

Or, you know, nothing could happen because it's being foretold by insane religious zealots.

If there was a god, then it wouldn't set an exact time in the future to destroy us. It wouldn't even bring an apocalypse, it would just wave it's hand over the earth and wipe the slate perfectly clean and start over. Maybe this time it wouldn't be fucking stupid enough to think to itself "gee, having mindless creatures worship me and do everything I say is awesome, but what if I give them curiosity and free will? I see everything so I know when I put the tree down and say 'oi, don't fucking touch it' that they will anyway, but I'm gonna do it anyway, for the lulz"

Flawed stupid dogmatic bullshit.

If I believed in god, this is what it would be like.

It wouldn't have a form, and it's voice would pleasure every nerve you have. Also because it knows all, it won't create a hell because nothing can be done that deserves pain for the rest of eternity. Fuck, even a mild headache for the rest of eternity is too extreme for someone like hitler.

End of days warnings come and go every like ten years. This shits no different AJD these fuckwits are trying to jump the gun saying it happens this year, and covering their arses by saying if you wake up and everything is the same then it's hell.

Hurr durr I wish I could legally kill people.

>>2536
I wish people didn't kill people at all but hey, humans be crazy mixed up animals. You also sound like Spog when he's mad at the world. So maybe you're long lost spirit brothers?

>>2536
>This shits no different AJD these fuckwits are trying to jump the gun saying it happens this year, and covering their arses by saying if you wake up and everything is the same then it's hell.

It'll be funny when the people that think they're going to heaven wake up here and spaz out.

>>2538


Actually no, it's brilliant. Because they wake up and think that god is displeased with them, so they give more of themselves and their money over to the church.

>>2539
Oh my god... it IS brilliant! It's all a conspiracy for the church! That... damn... Skrewd nailed it on the head I think. That is some dastardly monetary scheming right there.

>>2540

I'm not just a pretty face

Now if only we can make them drink the Kool-Aid.

Boredom, that is what this post is about. That and I'm using it to get my brain working. Since I won't be putting that much tech babble in my story or really explaining in great detail how things work because I'm not into that sort of thing, I decided to put down specs as to what certain things where and what they did. I will limit things that could be spoiler, but this is just imaginary fantasy sci-fi stuff. I'll do one entry for each thing whenever I feel like it. Think of them as mini projects that keep me up to snuff and interested in what I'm doing. So here's the first entry below.

Head Hunter: Field Agent
As seen in Chapter 4: Iron Steel, these agents are the more noticeable branch of the Head Hunter organization. The street slang usually refers to them as 'deuces' due to the fact that field agents work as a pair to maximize efficiency. They can cover each other and offer support when in a pair better than when alone.

Armor-suit: Hunters wear an advanced form of body armor that has a lot of mysterious properties. The plating is not what some would consider thick, but it has the protective strength to dampen damage received from incoming fire from most small arms as well as some medium assault weapons. The armor is powered to a minor extent, these aren't supermen. The armor is full body, covering the chest, arms, hands, and legs. The lower half can be hidden by clothing worn over the legs.

The suit can absorb/block energy damage to a degree, making the suit able to take some small punishment from Pokemon related attacks. It may be small protection, but it can mean the difference between life and death.

The suit has odd properties and abilities to heal and mend wounds to the user if the plating is penetrated. It's not fast, and it isn't going to make that big of a difference when hit in the head or if limbs get broken, but gashes, cuts, scrapes, burns, all of them will be mended over time as long as the suit as power. This makes Hunters key mobile assets to be deployed and used in only the utmost need. Assignments usually entail extremely dangerous criminals that have strong Pokemon that are attacking civilians and law enforcement.

Visor/Glasses: The visor is hooked up directly to the suit and has a HUD for the agent to utilize, which shows readings based on vitals, location, and estimation of power levels when able to scan Pokemon. Can tell time too :D.

Weaknesses: Human error, things like that. The suits systems can be overloaded by excess damage, thankfully the plating doesn't need power to block solid projectiles. Armor piercing rounds shred it like tissue paper. The sensors can be jammed. It's still somewhat experimental, but most of the kinks have been worked out. Some side-effects (reason unknown) of wearing the armor for too long can be muscle spasms, dizziness, and illness. The cause of these is yet to be determined, it's most likely whatever power source was found for powering the suit.

Power source: Can be found within an easily accessible plate of the chest section. It's a very unique substance which gives off a golden light, has the properties of metal, but seems to also have the ability to shift its physical state. It has been known to become intangible when introduced to electric current. When it's in this state it gives off a greater amount of energy than put in. No one has been able to explain how this is thus far. The metal can produce enough energy to keep itself running when integrated into the housing of the armor, though it still needs ignition from an outside source.

The power cell can run foe an unusually long time for its size. The longest recorded functioning of these cells was one whole week. Unfortunately due to the rarity of the mysterious ore, it is not eligible for use in the common world. It's discovery and application however, have been deemed classified and thus kept from the public and global eye.

That ends my rant on HUnter armor and functionality. I love my mysterious and dubious power sources that scream 'unnatural.' What's the world without a little magic and silliness eye?

Holy fuck the suits are powered by fusion energy.

Have it so that if the magnetic field holding the core in place is damaged, it collapses in on itself, no longer able to sustain it's stable properties and creates a point of infinite gravity that draws everything into itself within 100 meters, before exploding horribly and destroying everything within a kilometer

>>2548
Seems hazardous to implant such a powersource in a suit that is meant for military combat and has a high probability to be damaged. If a soldier gets downed, his entire platoon could be wiped out because of it.

I think Skrewd just wants things to be obscenely powerful and dangerous. just so there can be dramatic explosions.

I have had an FA account for some time. I finally uploaded more than my fics... http://www.furaffinity.net/user/delosdemillo/

Go look and see the picture and know it is MINE... all MINE... I post this here because I has friends and friends means they can help me get after picture thieves!

I am done here.

So I closed my tab with my AFF account in it because it kept randomly redirecting my to a page about twitter and making an account. Then because I don't have my account bookmarked and because I didn't think to type the URL for the site into my URL bar, I googled it. I then saw every link to AFF marked with a warning about how visiting the site may result in harming my computer. Apparently according to the google diagnostic the site has been tackled and CAN give out malware, and this is within the last two days.

Now, I'm one that usually and most often heeds these warnings, so I might not be updtating my next chapter on AFF one I finish because I literally CAN'T risk breaking my laptop in any way. It's the only one I have and my folks and I can't afford a new one any time soon, if ever.

So I guess check my FA account for updates in future as that site has no warnings. Neither does fanfiction.net so I might end up resorting to moving everything back to there (after 3 years of not using it.)

As for a progress report, I leave you with the oh so helpful words of Gold Leader, "Stay on target."

>>2581
Seems that whatever went down with AFF was dealt with as google doesn't warn about the site any more. So that's a plus for whoever here publishes somewhat regularly. So that means I'll be able to update there unless it gets borked again.

http://anime.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600049482&chapter=7

wa-bam!

Definitely a fun read, Jabbz.
I love Shena's persona.

Trying to figure out how the whole issue with Umiko and Chester is going to be introduced in S&P. I'm looking forward the to interaction. :)

Well, I know it's been awhile since I updated but I figured I'd take the opportunity to say that I've decided to take a break from writing. Just a hiatus to get my head back in the game so to speak. I'm not killing my stories, or anything like that. That would be dumb.

I'll be sure to post something, be it news or something random that I feel would have something to do with my stories. Maybe a question to the public about what they think so far, even though I don't update that frequently.

Anyway, that's about all I have to say for now. Stay tuned I guess.

I really can't say when my writing will be started up again for those who've probably been either waiting with baited breath, or those who gave up awhile ago and moved on. Truth is I really haven't wanted to and I really could care less. I like that I drew in a very small audience on all the places I posted, but really this is a personal issue. I can't ever seem to stick with something and see it through. I've been living with story ideas and plots in my head for a good 4 years now and knowing everything like the ins and outs of a tale makes it so that writing it becomes boring and predictable. The spark of adventure has gone out of my stories so I just end up stopping. For readers who don't know what's going to happen, I know you are left wondering, and I know how cruel that is... but really I just can't bring myself to sit down and write anything substantial. Even Chapter 8 of one of my older works is only up to 5 pages and hasn't budged from that in several weeks. At this point I just... I just want to let it sit and wait... and maybe I'll get back into it at some point... who knows.

>>2682
And by "older works" I mean Sin and Punishment

>>2683
i'll be watching and waiting if you do decide to continue updating silver wings, it's one of my top 5 favourite stories. best of luck with everything anyways.
