Geez, things are not going like I planned are they? ^^;

I said that I'd make more stuff, but then education said "No."

I said that I would try to catch up on everyone's stuff, but then writing said "No."

And now I'm here about to break some news regarding my nuzlockes. This choice really isn't the easiest for me to do, but for the betterment of my work-load I unfortunately have to do this...

Before anything else is said, I just want to say that I want to apologize for the promise that I wasn't able to upkeep. So now without anymore stalling, I am officially announcing that I am dropping all of the offered cameos for my stories.
This includes but is not limited to: Homebound Platinum Chapter 1, Nuzlocke X's side-story Heaven's Trial, and others. 

So at the cost of not having the audience's OCs and pokemon showing up in the chapters for now, I believe that I can get the stories rolling now without having to worry about how to incorporate the characters. This means I can focus on the plots, character developments, and most importantly, getting the chapters out to you all as soon as possible while keeping a great quality. :)

And who knows? ( Play this song for dramatic effect [link] )
Maybe something is in store to happen to one of my protagonists in the upcoming future? 
Alex, the pseudo father
Venus, the maternal figure
Duke, the instigator teenager
Mike, the innocent child

So thank you all for reading this little update journal, and I hope that you all have a wonderful day! :D

Yes, yes, I know I promised that there was going to be new content in the future, and I'm going to hold my word on that. There will still be a tournament arc for my OCs, the nuzlockes will still go according to plan, and I will deliver on my word.

Here's the thing though, and I'm gonna need you guys reading to follow me on this, so pay close attention.

The whole way of writing scenes like I did, with making the dialogue like video game was fun. It really was. But now, it is time for me to change my writing style to the original, and what some would call the right way of writing. You know what I'm talking about.

"Gee Papa, it feels like a long time since the audience saw any action from you," Glenn worriedly said as he hopped onto his father's back.
"Ah, don't worry about it son," Alex reassured his Frogadier son as he stood up. "I'm sure that people are going to see more of our family now," he wistfully said as he looked out to the endless expanse of the ocean, where the sun had just began to set.

Something like that. And I know that I've got a lot of nuzlockes to also catch up on as my activity here comes to a slow crawl. Those being(whether you deem this as a shout out or not is debatable, to me it's reminding myself)
:iconaoisora19s::iconblackwing2::iconjustmiri::iconatlassniperman::icondenplaysgames::iconjadethestone::icondmkryl:(Who I will also get back at for tagging me in that protag swap! >8D )
:icondillydraws::iconcarbonated-jem::icongearpunk::iconmexicoisfun::iconpaperchu::iconseiryu6::iconmirageontherun:
:iconnekomania11::iconxsnowshadowx::iconamy-lou-2::iconsofiakishatu13::iconyoshiofredemption::iconconfusedkangaroo::iconcrimsonmiracles:
Along with many more. ^_^

So please, forgive me for not being able to keep my word about the new things. However, now with this new resolution and typing style, they should be out before you know it.

Ready or not audience, I'm making my return. Ready to take my spot back in the nuzlocke community, and the OC community. B)





See you guys then. :)

Heyo everyone, just thought that I would say this in advance. I'm going to be making a lot of original content for a while, mainly in the form of an OC tournament. So there probably isn't going to be much nuzlocke stuff for a while, keyword being: a while. Obviously, I'm still going to be making them, but they're going to be under wraps for a while. ;)

So, if you liked my OCs and wanted to see more of them, then this will be a good time for you.

If not, well then nothing much that I can do, but hey, you can give the future stories a shot. And don't worry, like I said before, those stories will be coming.


Have a good day/night,

Here's a glance as to what is going to happen in the future: challonge.com/tournaments/brac…

Double tagged by :icondmkryl: and :iconyu6-nuzlocke:
Rules:
1. Post 8 facts about your character
2. Tag 8 characters and their creators, (Phew, that's a lot)
3. Post the characters names and their creator's avatars.

Let's dive right into this!

:icondmkryl: wanted me to do Alex, so let's start off with him first.
1. There are two reasons that Alex treats his pokemon like his children. The first one being that throughout his entire life, Alex's father was always absent and the role for a father figure was left open. The second one was that Glenn called Alex "father", and it took off from there.
2. Because Alex's mother was constantly moving from region to region to compete in races, Alex was left in the care of his grandfather, who shall not be mentioned just yet. Even then, he didn't spent much time with his grandpa due to his occupation, so he spent his childhood at Pokemon Village and Route 21. Here he learned rudimentary skills from his  pokemon family/friends in these places.
3. Alex can't swim that well in general, he considers it a miracle that he can even get himself to float in water.
4. Alex is extremely terrified of Trevenants, to the point of not being able to speak or move in the presence of them. This stems from a childhood accident that was so frightening, so terrifying, that Alex suppressed the memory in hopes of never remembering it again. But it's starting to come up again...
5. Since he plays the role of a father for all of his pokemon, Alex is very keen on if his children are in danger of any kind.
6. Alex is extremely oblivious to romantic advances, and will not understand much innuendos that are tossed in his direction. In his defense, he's not looking for love at the moment, he just wants to make friends and keep his kids safe. Although, some of his children wonder if there will ever be a maternal figure to match Alex's role as the paternal figure.
7. As proven several times throughout the nuzlocke, Alex is exceptionally durable. Many people do not understand where this innate ability, or how much he can take before he can say ouch.
8. He is a bit too trusting with people who say they want to be friends with him. However, if someone who pretends to be his friend back stabs him...the consequences are dire.

:iconyu6-nuzlocke: wanted Alex, but since he got one, I'll do another one. Mike.
1. Mike almost has no one to call his family. The only people he can call his family are his aunties, Cynthia and Skyla. Before it is asked, yes, Cynthia, the Sinnoh Champion and Skyla, the gym leader of Mistralton City.
2. Mike is a very emotionally strong boy and known to take his fears on head on. This includes: heights and angry aunties. The ones he has not been able to get over? The dark.
3. He has a strange ability to make most people/pokemon treat him like a younger sibling, or in some cases their own child.
4. Very rarely will he ever let his emotions get the best of him, but when they do grab a hold of him, it's extremely obvious.
5. The reason why he is missing one of his front teeth is because Skyla decided to take Mike on a field trip through the air. Needless to say, Cynthia didn't like it when they came back from a bump ride.
6. Despite what he might put on, Mike knows the true dangers of the world and stranger danger.
7. Even though he is seven years old, Mike still has trouble pronouncing some words and names, to the point of butchering some. So if he is meeting someone for the first time, he might have a little trouble with their names.
8. One thing that Mike cannot tolerate at all, no matter how much his family or friends try to persuade him, are strawberries and chocolate. Please don't try to get him over this little quirk as he really can't stand those foods.

Alright, time to tag some people now shall we? And by that I mean drag more people into tagging hell. XD
:iconatlassniperman: - Siam
:iconcarbonated-jem: - Deciy
:iconaoisora19s: - Sen
:iconpaperchu: - Sofi
:iconmexicoisfun: - Raven
:iconamy-lou-2: - Barry
And anyone else who dares to do this!

Hey everybody, it's me! Back from the dead and from hiatus, stronger than ever. But what's the difference between those two things eh?

Terrible jokes aside, I'm ready to get back to writing my nuzlocke stories along with other things. Now let me explain some things to clear up anything.

During the entire course of this hiatus, I have not spent a lot of time on this account other than to check up on notes and messages. Other than that, I have not looked at anyone's art work. Hence my lack of activity.

I have written stories during the hiatus, but I am not going to post any of them here.

It's going to take me quite some time to get familiar with the roundabout of things. ^^;

If you have anymore questions about my hiatus, feel free to ask. :D

If you don't then just be on the lookout for nuzlocke and OC stories in the future.
