Green - I see... Well personally I planned only 3 chapter when I started out (this story has been told soooo many times, but why not), which was suppose to revolve around the final battle of Naruto VS Tobi (I even remember when this was. Not only the 27th of July 2010, but the manga chapters of the week was of Naruto training with Killerbee! O_O The war hadn't even begun yet, haha. That's how long it is ago). Then I got the idea of that fight instead being at the end of a longer plot, with Akatsuki returning and attacking everyone else too, then the chronicles and I ended up on 15 + 3 + 3 in total for my first work. I knew how things would pan out as I wrote, but I didn't know much about the details. Before I reached the end though, everything hit me. Not only did I get an idea for a sequel (Returns) and how it would pan out with Naruto having to fight Kabuto and the Sage of Six Paths (I never thought it would drag for 30 chapters though, as I intended my sequel to be 15 long like the first. It was only extended upon 3 chapters at a time as I realized there was no way I could get it done within the limit even when I wrote long chapters), but I also got ideas of doing timeskips where Naruto got so old that he had a grandson and great-grandchildren. I planned this part of the story before I had finished my first work xD This eventually lead into the ideas of Legacy being made once I approached the end of Returns, and at the same time, the idea for the Series Finale came to me. I knew things I wanted to write, two years before I got to them. I even wrote scenes for chapters like 28 before I had released the 6th chapter of Returns xD That's how far I planned, and my notes were extensive indeed. I suppose the same goes for my later works as well where I planned out the entirety of the Forgotten Tale before I started (to the smallest detail), and the same for TLSoSP (although I ended up extending it horrendously. It was after all only suppose to last 6-9 chapters or so, not 16 xd). I did never write scenes or entire upcoming chapters that took place way down the line after that though xP I stopped doing that after I finished Returns, although I did finish entire series before releasing one part of it (Series Finale, which took me 7 months to complete). With Returns it was crazy xd I had like 5 or so chapters that I had finished everything between 25-75 per cent of, but they weren't next on the list before I had released 15-22 other chapters first. The good old times... I should probably just write the fight between Hagoromo, Hamura and the Jubi, before I even begin on the Tower of Death arc
That would be symbolic to my past self at least, haha.
Blue - Great, hope you'll make it
I've already started on chapter 8 myself, but haven't written anything in particular yet. Recollection 4,5 and 6 (one thread) is a few clicks away from release whenever I decide to release it (100 per cent finished in other words. I didn't want to release it yet though for obvious reasons).
Gold - So that's where all these "erotic" influences comes from!! XD See, I knew you had it in you to write such stories, hah! I mean, go for it
As for writing 2 stories at once, there are a lot of writers on the Base who have done so. One thing seems to be common though, either one story gets neglected in favor of the other (discontinued), or the writer ends up with several unfinished stories. That is why I never started Three Kingdoms back in 2011 as I intended, because I knew it would be as big as or even bigger than TLSoK, and there was no way in hell I would be able to manage both at the same time. If I had done this, one of them would certainly have been neglected, and the other stories I've written wouldn't have come to be. You make your own choice though. I did manage to pull off Recollection in between just now, but I didn't release them between chapters of TLSoSP, but instead just went on and finished them all at once (to be noted though, about 90 per cent of Recollection was done last year before I started panning out TLSoSP, so it wasn't any rush to just fill in the last 10 per cent and finally release them. The only reason I stalled was because I intended to release it after TLSoSP was done).
Red - Now that you mention it, I think you told me this before actually, on several occasions even xD "Gone" is a strong word
I'll probably just stop writing. I will however drop by every now and then, and that is why it's crucial that you my friend, get a facebook before that time, haha
Trea has somewhat promised me that she will "reopen" her FB and befriend me when/if it comes down to me leaving the Base for good (already got people like Eric (CW), Kuroi (Ivan) and so on there, on FB that is)
Purple - See red xd
Bold - So you're in your 30s? :|
xD I just kid, obviously you're talking about the Shippuden Naruto, so that makes you 18 huh? Cool =p Still a youngling compared to me and that is why YOU ARE... MY APPRENTICE @____@ xd
