The Blog is with me, but I am not a Blogger Yet...

Hello There!
Well, this's taken me for ever... a busy life and overly active imagination are not a good mix when you have several web resources.

In this post I wish to get up to date with several happenings:
- Stories - Pic of the Week - Blog Rearangement - YouTube- and whatever else I think of by the end of this post :D

Stories

First I wish to introduce my new story: Young Jedi, Book I: Beginner's Luck.

Official summery from FF.N:

"The Force is at work. Two Earthlings are about to discover that being Jedi isn't all about levitating rocks and free soda while unwittingly or otherwise causing a headache for Palpatine. People will die. Anakin will cry. And the galaxy will be saved, again...."

Profile on Nikitikin:

Life isn't perfect, and heroes don't usually come from the upper class. Nikitikin knows this, and desparately wishes he could be a hero some day. Due to certain 'circumstances' at his high school and his vision impairment he is unable to participate in the modern-day activities of his peers. He spends the long days listening to various texts read to him through a derelicded text-to-speech device and aimlessly wandering the yard. Because of his condition, or maybe thanks to it, he is aware of more things than the average person his age. He is capable of pulling out of memory the blueprints to anything he has studied long enough, even fictional ones, a Star Destroyer per say. He has an above-average grasp of manipulating words and negotiation, unsurprising considering he has to deal with unreasonable rules and people every day. Over the years Nik has obtained several nicknames, no-doubt reflecting - though not always positively - on his quirks and characteristics. Some of the more widespread ones include: 'the negotiator', 'living Google'/'talking encyclopedia', 'cyclops', 'Strider' and even 'Jedi kid' (the latter probably due to the fact he hangs his mobility cane on his belt, which to some people resembles a lightsaber).

Nikitikin has very few friends - for reasons best known to himself - but those he has, won't leave him for anything.


Lately Nik has been studying various forms of combat, allowing him to defend against thugs, who would often underestimate him due to Nikitikin only using his mobility cane.

Extended Summary

Nikitikin has often wondered in what way best to exact his revenge on those who have wronged him. In the end he has concluded that he has to become a Jedi and then turn Sith. There is only one problem with that though; there is no mystical energy field for him to use to lift tables and snap necks.      --Or so he thinks.
A harmless fan-film stunt causes Nik and Aeren to drop out of no-where and help Anakin save Obi-wan for the first time. Years pass and Nik realises that snapping obnauxious necks is the least of his worries, getting back home for one thing is more important.

As in all stories the bad guys have to lose, the only unknowns are who, how and when.

Production Notes

• Well, the front cover you see above was done totally by me, yea total surprise I know. \;=}
• This story is either going to be a duology or a trilogy, don't know yet.
• This volume is a first-person perspective by Nikitikin
• Please note: Though I have designed Nikitikin similar to me in character and some circumstances, a lot of what I write I spice up for the story. So no I am not called a Jedi Kid, but I get called  the Negotiator at times, and I have been known to use my cane in similar ways to Master Yoda's gimer stick

I have also been busy with my other story: Skyfighter: the Ones. I have posted chapter 11 last week and will probably add chapter 12 tomorrow.
Five new oneshots have found their way onto my profile too.

I am planning on adding a page to the blog with links to all the stories and to descriptive articles about them (when I get around to writing them hehe :D)

In Other News

• I have decided to stuff by YouTube video projects down the trash compacter due to various demands on my time and the lack of software I can use
• Pic of the Week will be returning maybe next week.
• I have been busy in sketchup creating several new original vehicles for my AUs. Check them out at my 3D Warehouse profile
• I Have ceased my activities on all wikimedia wikis because I have better things to do than study Wookieepedia's endless policies.
• Hopefully if I get bored I will write reviews to the rest of TCW S4. Yeah that project kinda backfired, didn't it?
• The same as above to Legowatch. I'll try my best to revive it but you know, the dark side is bad at saving things from dying

Well thanks to all for reading this thing. With luck there is a 50/50 chance that I will do half the things I said I will *grin* but due to the fact that "There is no such thing as luck" that chance is more like 25/75 *embarrassed grin*
 Thanks again

And May the non-existant Force be with you!
