Today, I turn 18, and let me tell you, I feel like my entire childhood and a good portion of my teenage years just flashed right by me. Today, I become legal, in a couple of states, for a great amount of things, none of which I'll EVER try in a million years (Martini glasses, beer? No THANKS!). What's more, I'm a senior in High School and pretty soon, I'll be graduating.

Maybe not a lot of you don't catch it, but I feel like my life's disappearing in rapid bounds, and can be missed with but a single blink. Pretty soon, I'll be in college! (Groans.) Heck of a lot of fun THAT experience is gonna be... Pretty soon, all of the fun times will be gone, and I'll be moving on with my life, going in whichever direction I feel like going in...

But looking back, I'm glad I found DA and fanfiction.net, which is exactly why, even though my life is going like a blur, I'll try my best not to leave them behind. Of that I can assure all of you reading this.

... BUT Putting that aside.

For those of you out there that read this, I look forward to the coming days, and the coming years for as long as they might last. If you want to, gift deviations are welcome, though I'm not expecting anything out of any of you. Just hearing your words of encouragement as I move forward with my writing and drawing is enough for me.

So, Happy Birthday to me;

And I wish you all the best of luck, if your life is moving as fast as mine is.

"No offense, but ... People are getting too fake on me . They only want posts, comments, or to see how many friends they can get. So let's see who will actually repost this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention to me. Copy and repost in your own bulletin. Lets see who the true friends are and I think I know who you are... Repost this if you are a friend...Don't reply... just copy and paste this in a new bulletin as "Fake Friends'

True friends will read and repost this. Fake friends will just ignore it."

I'm just going to come clean right here and now; my labtop is completely and utterly broken and useless. And thanks to that fact, I'm incapable of working on my art based deviations, restricting me to updating nothing but my literature works. I'd love to say that I'll have my Brawl Island stuff up soon, (I've entered a new tournament called and entered my demon brat OC Sal specifically for the tournament.) however, it's honestly difficult at this point, to know when they WILL get in.

(Clears throat.) Despite this however, I'm afraid it probably wouldn't have mattered too much, since I've been suffering one of the worst case of writers block you could ever imagine. How long have I been gone? Honestly? (Looks embarassed.) I haven't even updated this stupid journal in three friggen months. How stupid is that?

But enough is enough, I say.

I want to remedy this problem, and there's really only one way I can do that.

I'm gonna write a project or two so I can finally get some creative juices flowing. So for that end, I'm reopening my 100 theme challenge. But this time, you're going to see literature themes rather then artwork, due to my lack of reliable art programs. I honestly hope I'll have your support as I try to get over this problem and get back to updating my other works, which have really been awaiting update even longer then this journal.

Here's the themes I have thus far:

1. Introduction (X)

I've recently signed myself up to join a new tournament, since the DAWGS tournament didn't turn out so well. But don't worry! This time I'm going for something more my element.

What I mean is simple.

As some of you may remember, (Most probably not), When I signed up for the DAWGS Tournament, I signed in as a literature writer. This time, I'm brushing up on my comic writing skills, and entering into...

Masterthecreaer's 'Corrupted Core' Tournament!

Here's a link to the basic storyline, and how to enter the tournament:

[link]

I hope that if I DO get accepted, everyone will enjoy my comics for the story. I know, I'm brainstorming up a storm with the stage I'm in now!

]]> ~Gantzgun74 http://Gantzgun74.deviantart.com/journal/20988172/ http://Gantzgun74.deviantart.com/journal/20988172/ Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:31:03 PDT

Welp... I done it, I just had to go and open my big mouth, putting myself in a situation I won't be able to get myself out of. I let my mouth run, and soon enough, I fear it will lead to my own reputation at Fanfiction to be reduced to a very low level.

But strangely enough, I don't care. NL's and Ryo Muang's arguement has gone on LONG ENOUGH. And I just had to say it. To the authors of Fanfiction, who are here on deviantART and may read that review. I'm sorry, but what I speak is the truth. Fanfiction isn't a place to write about junk that Ryo Muang wrote. ([link])
It's a place where you can safely write your own ideas and let others read and enjoy the fact that the author had the guts to post it.
The bombshell is soon to come, I just hope that I'll come out of it in one piece. Either way, it doesn't matter to me, not anymore.

For those of you confused as to what's going on, I'll explain. An artist at Fanfiction by the name of Ryo Muang has been stirring up trouble in recent months. I'm not sure where it started, but the bombshell of arguement was started when Ryo Muang completely copied and pasted the story of another author named NL. Now normally, this is accepted in Fanfiction, so long as the story copied and pasted is changed in some ways, but Ryo Muang did nothing of the sort. Instead, he made a work so close to NL's that it might as well have been called ' Plagirizing.'

It's because of Ryo Muang that NL no longer writes Parodies, however, that's beyond the point now.It was only later that I look into the Misc section of Fanfiction and find the horrible fic to which I reviewed, and otherwise let my otherwise quiet self be known.

The fic is known as Camp Fanfiction. Even in my oppinion, I'm not entirely sure if what Ryo Muang wrote was supposed to be offensive or not... Well, at least at first. When I read the reviews, however, the other authors were completely ticked off at what had been written. In the story, Ryo Muang takes the Author OC's of various authors at Fanfiction, and goes so far as to completely obliterate their original personalities, turning them into complete and utter insults of what the characters were originally.

Now, I'm a god-fearing man myself, having been to church almost every time the doors were open, but I never thought that I would hear God calling to me.

At least, until I wrote that review.

It may have been devil pushed, but I like to believe that God WANTED me to write down that review, he wanted me to do it.

But so far, I'm not sure if it was to make me seem like the philosophical type... Or just to destroy my reputation at Fanfiction altogether. However, I have reason to believe that no matter what, God is with me, and has my best intentions at heart.

That is all I can do at this point.

Secondly, on a more, personal note; I hope that those who read my review will actually think I've got my heart in the right place for writing what I have.

Forgive me if I sound like I'm cringing, but this is probably the first time I've ever let my feelings take hold of me, and let myself be known. (I'm normally very withdrawn you see.)

So if you'll excuse me, I'll be in the corner of the Author's Booth, cringing at what will come to me, and thanking God for giving me the courage to write the review, if that is what he had in mind for me to do. Till then.

(Leaves and does just that.)

IT'S SUMMER VACATION!!!!!!!

"FFFFFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Anyways, now that it's Summer Vacation, I think I can now focus on getting some more updates in... Of course that might take a while since I've recently bought a new game. Wanna know what it is?

"Pokemon Mystery Dungeon; Explorers of Darkness"!

The game is fun, and the characters can be quite off the wall! Especially Wigglytuff, the Guildmaster in the game, he acts like such a baby, so much in fact, I'm starting to think his body is growing faster then his brain is. He's cool though.

I started out as A Chimchar, my favorite starter pokemon, and have made some incredible headway, considering I had only gotten the game yesterday.

This game might also give me some much needed inspiration as well, so one can only hope!

Anyways, that's what's been going on with me...

Till next update!

My Birthday is on the 22nd of March, which means it's only two days away! I'll be turning 18 that day! (I start thinking about this.) Whoa! I better get back into practicing driving, so I can get my license!

ANNNYWAAAAYS- on unrelated news, I've just sent in an entry to the author Dragon-Wing-Z to join a tournament he and his friends are going to host! It has a few competitors so far, and I've sent in an entry for my OC Wally to be added into the mix, so here's to hoping that I can play a part!

Also, on the updates, I'm sorry that I have been slow with them lately, but I haven't been facing much artwork based inspiration. Now FANFIC inspiration is what I've been getting recently... Oh well, maybe the tourney will get me back into the swing of things.

Until my next update!

But, tomorrow, when Wal-Mart reopens, I'll be free to buy some new games! I'm thinking of getting 'NiGHT's; Journey into Dreams', 'Super Paper Mario', or 'Super Mario Galaxy' for the Wii, and 'Tales of the World; Radiant Mythology' for the PSP.

Do any of you guys have any suggestions for PSP or Wii games?

To explain why this says that above, I'll explain. You see, my brother, even though it was supposed to be my Christmas Present, JUST TODAY, installed a sketchware drawing program onto my Computer!

I immediately went to work and recreated one of the character sketches you can find on my account, and I have to say, I see a MAJOR difference in quality in the new one!

I'll update this new picture to deviantART as soon as I finish this Journal. Trust me everyone you'll love it!!

Hello everyone! This goes out to Pokemon fans out there! I am now open for trading Pokemon! Are you looking for the Chimchar, you didn't get to choose from the start of the game due to picking someone else? Well I'm willing to trade one of my current two Chimchars for the following pokemon.

Magby
Magmar
Turtwig
Piplup
Lucario (I can easily breed this creature and trade you back a new one.)
Growlith
Arcanine

Chikorita
Cyndaquil
Totodile (If you trade, I can breed these species and give you new one's as soon as they hatch.)

My Diamond Game name is Aaron, and I took the form of a psychic. If you want to trade, be sure to look for me!

[Edit]

Sorry everyone I just gave my connection a try and I still need a plug in cord I guess. Your going to have to wait.

After a very long absence I've decided to update a few new pictures on the site. I'm still working on the 100 theme challenge, mind you, but it's time to put up some other stuff. What I'm going to put up first are specially created monsters and beasts, that may, or may not, (Nudge, Nudge, wink, wink! ) play a part in fanfictions to come.

You want to know what they are? Well your just going to have to see for yourselves when they're posted!

Keep your eyes open!!

Well it might take a while seeing as how I have fanfictions to write among other things.

Anyways, as I was thinking a thought struck me. The thought was this. How about I make a Journal Entry where people could describe what their characters voice sounds like? After all unless you're a some kind of animator with voice acting and all that, all you can do is imagine what the character sounds like.

So let your creativity soar! Use this journal or just make a comment. To make it easier on yourselves just say which cartoon or video game character your OC sounds like.

P.S. If you want to, you could display what your, or your Author OC's voice sounds like.

________________________________________________________

Gantz Gun van Drake (My Author OC.)
I sorta pictured him, or myself in some cases, having the same voice as Jake from 'Ape Escape: Pumped and Primed'. And for those of you who have never played the game, You can picture it to be something like Ash from ' Pokemon Battle Frontier'.

Wally:
Due to him having an Australian accent, the obvious choice is Rick the Hamster from 'Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'

Otto:
This one was tricky at first, but in the end, his voice was made to sound like Paul from ' Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl', the TV show not the game, obviously.

MMSB:
For obvious reasons, his voice sounds like Knuckles from Sonic X.

Ace:
I kinda pictured her having the voice of Misty from the ' Pokemon Anime'. Their tempers match after all. lol

Shin:
His voice is a bit of a childish tone, but is somewhat mischievous. For that end I used the voice of Tuff from 'Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'

Dar-Kal:
A strict, domineering, shadow who loves being in control? Sounds like 'The Business Man' from 'Kirby: Right Back at Ya!' to me.

Dark-Tub: His voice should be deep yet simple sounding. So for his voice I cast is the voice of 'Gutsman' From 'Megaman NT Warrior'.

Armstrong: Since he's mostly made of decomposers, I decided to make him have the same voice as ' Petey Piranha'. (The Giant mutated Piranha Plant From Super Mario Sunshine.) Although, all he does is say his name over and over. Only because he doesn't know any other words in English.

Zin-Rain:
The second most evil of voices and beastly demeanor, this guy deserves the voice of 'Shadow' From Sonic X... Only a little darker in tone, and a Russian accent.

Mars:
This simple, but dangerous, creature may not speak that much, choosing instead to growl, and roar, but he still needs a voice. So for his end I've chosen 'Raph' from the show 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles', the new show not the old.

Saturn:
A gentleman tone with a British accent but still a dangerous killer. For his voice, I've decided to give him the voice of 'Sir Ebrum' from 'Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'.

____________________________________________________________________

(EVEN MORE NEW ONES!!! Yes, I'm Bored LOL.)

(Legend of the Star Rod Voices. Starting with the Main Partners, then OCs.
____________________________________________________________________

Goombario:
The Goomba boy who stars as the first main partner for Mario's adventure. I somewhat pictured his voice to be young but still kind of expressive. Maybe like Aang from 'Avatar: the Last Airbender'.

Kooper:
This koopa, though it's never made clear in the game, has a laid back attitude before it's put aside when his shell was stolen by fuzzies. Sounds like his voice would be close to Lan from 'Megaman NT Warrior'.

Bombette:
The first female bob-omb seen in video games yet. She's pink, sassy, and not the best person to have an argument with. Sounds like Sakura from 'Naruto' to me.

Parakarry:
The clumsy, yet often times tough, paratroopa mailman of the group. In a way, his voice, to me, sounds like Hakoda, a minor character from 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'.

[If you have better suggestions then let me know, I came kinda shorthanded with this one...]

Zane:
The dojo boy and short fused OC of the story Paper Mario: Legend of the Star Rod. For his voice I used the Voice of Ash as he's portrayed in ' Pokemon: Battle Frontier'

[More to come.]

I finally have my new computer in, and it is officially my own personal update season! And whats best is, NO SCHOOL TO STOP ME!!! YIPEE!!!

Well, before my comic strip can begin I thought that I should show character sketches first. First off will be the Gantz Gun Productions crew. Then the regulars will make their appearance. In order they will appear as so;

Tezuka Ace-Chan
Wally
Otto
MMSB (Mega Mecha Security Bot.) [He hasn't been shown yet so don't ask.)
Kelly (LoveandCake.) and Mysty (MysticStarlight)
Nutcase (NUTCASE71733.), Servo, and Crow.

What's also good is that I drew these pictures by hand, so they're better then my most recent works. So expect some new works to be updated at a very quick pace.

Gantz Gun; Signing off!

I now have the Title page of my new comic strip, Gantz Gun Productions Off Panel!!

The first plotline in the comic series, will be a simple one. My author OC and his assisstant author friends move to deviantART after starting their careers in comedy at Fanfiction. While there they meet their new deviantART friends, LoveandCake, Mysty, and once again run into their old Fanfiction friend NUTCASE7173. The first page, I'll be working on it soon, will show Gantz Gun meeting LoveAndCake and Mysty. Be sure to look out for it!!

So far I've got the first deviation up, which is nothing more then a logo for a future comic something or other. I just hope all goes well.
