Long?
Yes.

Really long?
Yes.

REALLY LONG?
YES!

But as with other things, life moves on. My imagination and ideas are no exception to this rule…
Enough with the mindless chatter. Today marks the day of project: Sleeping Dragon.
What is with this ambiguous title you ask? Well, it’s quite simple; this project marks the beginning of the long and hard; yet awesome revival of project: LeGard.

What and when is it coming back?
In a word.
It’s a S-E-C-R-E-T.
Why? Because I LOVE surprises. Trust me on this one, you’ll love it when it returns; and I’ve got quite a few other surprises that’ll kick this project back into action FOR GOOD.

More to come SOON.

You might have noticed that this site has been inactive in a while.
Well let me tell you a fact. This project of mine is not going back to an hiatus. Uh huh, you heard that right. Not now not ever.
Well I’m at a status report, I might as well go ahead and also inform readers that, starting from Chapter 5, this serialized work of fiction goes monthly.
You heard that one on the spot as well. But don’t let that get you down or worse, lose faith in me; or think that I’ve started procrastinating.
There is a very simple and plausible reason for this.
And that is because, one week and 7 pages, are neither good for thought processes [read new innovative plot ideas and main character development as well as main story development] nor are they good in the amount of work I can put in.
Example: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 - Ideally they seem boring and the pace seems to slow down quite a bit; that is so, precisely because sometimes, I just do not and can not make enough time to think about more stuff, and when I do, the whole concept seems impossible to fit in 6~7 pages, and since I can’t manage twice the amount in a week, I might seem to drag it.

Hence, I finally took the decision to adopt the monthly serialization method. It might seem tedious to recall loads of stuff that happened a month ago, but believe me, it also offers me enough time to be detailed enough about the plot, the characters their thoughts, emotions, outlooks, et cetera. Besides, I can already point out some examples like that of Fullmetal Alchemist [Which is a really good manga and thought provoker sometimes too ;D] that runs on a monthly track.

So without further ado, [Phew! end of my lecturing (Not lechering I’m no pervert :P)] I give my status reports on the two chapters, namely Chapter 4 and the best one by far [In my opinion anyways] Chapter 5.

Status:

Chapter 4 - 95% Done
Story/Plot writing - Done
Typesetting - Done
Self Editing and Story/Plot improvement - Remaining
Proof reading/Grammatical error rectification - Remaining

Chapter 5 - 20% Done
Story/Plot writing - In Progress
Typesetting - Done
Self Editing and Story/Plot improvement - Remaining
Proof reading/Grammatical error rectification - Remaining

And finally to lower the curtains.
*Drum roll please*
The new serialization scheme is…

New Chapters every month.

With 32 - 35 pages, which will be filled with brilliant story lines, characters plots and all. [I assure you on that one]
Once Chapter 5 is out you’ll literally piss in your pants when you compare it to the earlier four chapters.
And finally the waiting will be more and more worth it, it’ll improve each and every week.

It’s a Nakama’s promise!!

For the last month and a half, I’ve really been busy with real life stuff, and besides that, add a huge urge for procrastination as well as a semi large block.
I’ll be the first honest one to say that, things weren’t looking up for my book.

Well now finally after getting one month to sort out my priorities and think about various aspects of reality and fiction; fiction as in plots and the continuation of my story. I once again return to the place of fantasy and real life ethics and values, where any thing can happen; but at the same time, real [here fictional] characters and [they’re real] emotions mix.

So everyone [readers] that I have the opportunity to be with, I’m back in the driver’s [here pilot’s] seat better and badder to deliver stuff than before.
Have your safety belts on, and be prepared.
Its going to be a bumpy yet fun ride!
Hope you enjoy your flight..
.. And thank you for choosing Voltron Airways. [;)]

Well, finally I got the first rough done.

Understandably enough, I do understand, Yea, it still doesn’t show a clear story or whatever.
It will be worked on further [Right now I have way more of a direction than when writing that crap.].

The second rough, will not be as fast paced as this one, and has a good chance of being not a rough but the real thing.
It will contain like 5~6 pages as well, so nothing will be left out.

For now catch the things that are out, an ODT version [OpenOffice.org], and a PDF [Adobe Acrobat] version, are out.
Ask for more versions if none of these are compatible.
