Happy Hallowe'en!

Happy Haloween everyone!
To celebrate, here is a picture I did of Hayley.

In november, I'm going to be working on the cast page. I don't have a webcomic to worry about right now, and I don't have to worry about Christmas just yet, so I think it's a pretty reasonable thing to do, I could sketch them out during break at school, then finish them off at home.
The writing for the page is already done, so I'm going to be submitting it to get it out the way, along with a number of other things.

Next month is Nanowrimo. Since I'm allready working on two book, and I'm not quite a very good writer just yet, I'm going going to take part. I am, however, going to be writing either 500, 750 or 1,000 words a day (not decided yet) for the month of november. This will be anything, Cat-Run, The Beta Project, or simply things for this website. Whatever I feel like doing.

So yeah, expect a bit of litter in the next few days. And take one last took at the Halloween website, 'cause I'm taking it down tomorrow or Wednesday.

Haloween!

The haloween page is up! I insist you look at it, i spent a lot of time on it and i want people to see it! :<

But Haley, i hear you ask, weren't you in the middle of redoign this site?

Yes. But then it occoured to me.

Why make all the little things and put them all up, just to edit them for Haloween? I'm putting Haloween up now and I'll realise lots of new stuff in November, including the cast page. That way i won't have to do eveyrhting up. I'm going to upload a few spooky pictures nearer the date.

I has a favicon!

The cast page is so close to being finished, i think i'm actually just going the skip the pictures completely...

It's so hard to get cast pictures done ;^;
There's so many things to think of, for starters, will it be a fullbody or a headshot, and if it's a mixture of both, which characters. Then there's trying to make them all the same size and the same level of ferality, since i always seem to make them more or less humainoid every time i draw them. What will they be doing? It's hard to give them all uniqie actions depending on their personality...

Also, i'm still thinking over a makeover. I now have a background and a title, now i need something for the navigation. Also want to give The Beta Project a part of it's own, so you know the difference. Maybe a banner at the top of the page, when i'm about to focus on cat-run it'll say 'Cat-Run', but if i want to talk about TBP it'll say 'The Beta Project'.

Next, i'll make a line of pictures along the right of this page, which it's got the links to all the pages and the archives. I think i want to rewrite everything, as well as a few additional projects, like explaining in-depth about the religon or wars or stuff like that. I don't know why, but all of a sudden i want to write about Fox and Cleo when they were apprentices. I know i can't, since that would be spoilers for the first book.

I'm wondering weather to call the second book 'Death of Life' or 'Gold and Silver', the second one references Fox and Cleo, since their relationship is a fairly major part of that story. But the second pokemon games are gold and silver sooo...
Anyways, no need to think of that now, not for a good while.

I'll need to make some pictures for here... it's bald. I have a lot of sketches of cat-run characters in my scrapbook, so hopefully i could use them. I want to make a banner along the top, which changes each time someone changes page, but i don't know how to do that (i'm not sure if it's even possible, using blogger) and it would take ages to make a good number of banners. But boy, i hope it'll be worth it!

One last thing to point out before i go. New favicon! Since i suck so much at 15x15 symbols i decided to use the pawprint at the bottom of the pages (if you've seen the previews you'll know it. I think it's much better than the FurAffinity one!

Looky Looky.

New ban-ban, it's of Hayley. I plan to add a background too, most likely with Fox and Cleo. Perhaps with a painting style that'll go with the covers of the books when i get around to making them. I can imagine them now...
I'll try and make the diary a little more art-based. When i started the diary, i wanted to have a picture at the top of every page, but I simply didn't get enough doodles. Now i've been doodling more than ever so i might start it up again.

The long-awaited cast page won't be long now, i've not started it, but i have began planning out precistly what i'm going two write. The characters included will be Hayley, Charlie, Fox, Cleo, Gruchiano, Chloe, Keith, Cecil and Sydney, all major characters of the first book. When the second book comes out, or is near to coming out, i will switch them around a little. (Sydney and Cecil will be dropped, since they don't play any decent role, and Tama, Twile and Anna will be added.) Either that, or I'll put in the 'main' cast, that are major in all four books (Hayley, Fox, Charlie Gruchinao and Cleo) and put the other characters in parts below. I've actually been finding it easeir to draw on my computer than usual, so hopefully i can get something pumped out. I'm considering making Hayley and Fox full-body pictures and leaving the rest as portraits, but i'm still thinking.

I'm planning to add links at the bottom of the page for my DeviantART and Furaffinity, since i noticed they haven't been added. I'll do a similar thing with Psychic Ferret. Perhaps i'll do my fursona/brit as chibis and make them hyperlinks. I don't know yet. What i do know is that i'll start including more pictures in the autumn/fall and winter layout. Nothings really decided, it's just planning, planning planning.

I'm going to be re-orgonising my pages too, maybe write some interesting articles from within the cat-run world, about the types of religon and cat-run positions. I dunno. It'd be fun, but not a very high priority. I'm going to be writing an article that completley summarises Cat-Run as a whole, because i don't have one yet. But cat-run is very hard to compile, it's so complicated to explain in one post!

The Beta Project, by the way, is getting very close to completion! It's a little longer than Cat-Run, and might just reach 200 pages in it's first draft.

Looking Back at The Beta Project

So today i was digging around in my old writing, and i mean really old, when i still thought farting was funny, and i came across an old draft of The Beta Project. For those of you who may not know, The Beta Project is a book featuring Kiana, the last girl left, and Beta, a robot who can feel emotion, who fall in love and run away.

I'm not sure how old this thing is, I must have forgotten about it or something. I can't remember how much it's like the newer copy later on, because i only have a page and a half, but it just made me laugh out loud thinking how much it's changed. It's still called 'The Beta Project', unsurprising really, i just love that name, but that's almost the only thing similar. The obvious ideas, it's about the last girl who falls in love with a robot, it's set in the future, her daddy is evil, ect. but there are a lot of differences.

Kiana, the main character of the story, was a husky called Mona, in one part of the story she just submits to her father because he wants her to marry and have kids (cause you know, when you're the last woman alive, that's the thing you gotta do). She's now a white panther, i remember she changed to that because i was slowly adding more and more features and i wanted to try a panther. In one part of the story, she has an outright fight with her father just by bringing up the idea of marriage. I guess it's easy to say she's gotten a bit more 'snappy'.

Her father, the Captain, has changed a bit to. Before he was all responsible and well-knowing, always wanting the best for everyone, ect. (but he turns evil in the end) but in the current version, he's just a monster who wants to be known in history, right from the start. Maj, a friend of Kiana's mum, was apparently called Stacy, but surprisingly little seems to have changed on her end...

Lastly, in my old plot i had a sub-storyline explaining why Beta was created. Apparently he was made so he would travel out in space so they had another planet to inhabit. He didn't want to, so he ran away with Kiana, and they fell in love some time after. Personally, i quite liked the plot, but unlike Cat-Run, The Beta Project isn't a story you can have a sub-plot. I decided to leave it out because it was much to complicated.

Uh... and that's about it of looking back at the Beta Project (next week, Cat-Run (only kidding, that would take forever to write!))
Not sure why i'm writing this. Perhaps i just needed to write this, and journals are the only place i know where.

Considering a Makeover

I was working on Psychic Ferret's layout, then i remembered i wouldn't be able to use it for another dozen strips. I'll probably be doing up this place instead because it's beginning to be a bit dozy, i wonder if i could change the layout for different posts, so i could get a forest theme for the general pages, but also a space theme for the Beta Project.

Eh. I don't think so...

My latest draft of cat-run is at page 37 (excluding the intro pages, contents ect.). It's a few pages less than the draft before that, but i think that's because i've been taking out all the stuff about binding which i'm not including in the final version. i'll probably catch up later because i'm going to describe the rainforest better.

The Beta Project is falling behind, i'm not writing as much as i ought to, and i'm a little worried it's going to get forgotten. I'm at the 'beginning of the end' allready! I'll try to do a bit more after I've written this.

Cat-Run Word Count:
41 Pages
13,186 Words
58,550 Characters
71,713 Characters With Spaces
1,368 Lines
358 Paragraphs

The Beta Project Word Count:
116 Pages
17,877 Words
78,151 Characters
85,910 Characters With Spaces
3,547 Lines
800 Paragraphs

Remember that Cat-Run is on it's final draft whereas The Beta Project is on it's first. I've done much more of Cat-Run than listed here.

Trying out the new layout.

My dad brought up adding a contents page, and this caused me to try and figure out how to add pages without them breaking my lovely paw page number. I finally got to using a page break, and decided to show off what i did today.
I have six pages. A spare page which i'm probably gonna add an inspirational quote or something, a page that says the title of the book and my name, another spare page, contents, then we finally have the prologue and the begging of the story (shown here).
I've just added the first to pages because the bit before that is pretty boring. This is Cat-Run: Divided Dreams. I've just written out the prologue so i could see how it looks. (and yes, my task bar is on the right of my screen. I like it there thank-you-very-much.)

Once again it was boredom that finished me to finish my book

HAIGUYZGUESSWHAT! I just finished Cat-Run Divided Dreams. YAYZIESANDYIPPIESANDEVERYBODYCELEBRATENOW! I still need to go back and correct, re-write it and such but i won't be doing that until I've finished The Beta Project. I'm gonna try and stop thinking about cat-run and hope that i wont slowly start to change the story while i'm doing it.

Gawd it feels so good to be finishedf!

Cast Pages Coming Soon...

Writing this from my school computer.

I've started planning out the cast page for Cat-Run, I'm considering what characters to include. The main characters, obviously (Fox, Charlie, Hayley, Cleo and Gruchiano,) but I'll probably add in some other major characters too. Lily, Scarlet, Sydney, Cecil, Kat, Keith and possibly Cloe. If i do add them they might just be portraits.

As for The Beta Project, I've made portraits of all the characters, scanned them in and in the process of colouring them. I've done Kiana and Maj, with Beta, Alpha, Xpos and the Captain yet to do. They might get done first.

The begging of the end.

Chapter Twenty-Four.

20,500 words, 140 pages. I have so many that i can't fit them all on one screen. Hi-five. And it looks like i'm getting very close to the end. Only what, three four chapter left. Hmm, then an epilouge which will be about half a page long.

Them a re-write, a few check-over by my peer(s), and finally illustations. Not sure how long it will take, but if we're lucky I'll finish the first draft by the end of the month.

SQUEEZLESICANNIEWAIT!

Also, on an unrelated note I've created cast images for the Beta project, (Kiana, Maj, Beta, Xpos, Captain and Alpha)

List of Elements

//Edit

Okay, I did sorta create this with no real explenation, so here it is:

There are 6 elements (ten, actually, though four of them are extinct or very rare) that are given to a person by the legend they represent. They can be read in several ways, the easiest way is to use a soulstone. They often affect the personality of the person they're given too. It's unknown how the elements are chosen, but it is often affected by the environment they live in. If they have to fight or steal a lot, for example, they usually end up dark. More often than not, it is believed that the personality is chosen by the legends before the element is chosen. The only element this doesn't apply to is true, as it has been shown that all the trues in history have been in the same blood line.

If you want to find out what element you are (as best i can without any magical melodies anyway) check out my quik qwiz: hosted by proprofs (I got thunder!)

Common Elements

Fire

Represented by Fénix (the pheonix) people of the fire element are rash, crafty and often rather devous. Fire, alongside thunder and water, is one of the most common elements. People of the fire element are often very fast and active people, they are passionate too, and very crafty.

Water

Another common element, represented by golfinho (the dolphin). They are the element of two shades, they can be cool, smart and easy-minded at times, at others they are short-tempered and prone to outbirsts.

Thunder

Represented by guaxinim (the racoon), a common element. They are similar to fire, they are rash and impulsive, but usually good-natured. They do not work well as a team, but strive to be with friends. Because of their impulsive nature, they work well under pressure, and are one of the best elements for cat-runs.

Uncommon/Rare Elements

Grass

A wise, simple element represented by fada (the fairy). They are down to earth, relatively calm and rarely get angry. They look to the bright side, and can be a good parent or tutor. They learn quickly and well, but are relatively weak psyically.

Psychic

Represented by vagalume (the firefly). Psychic people work well alone, they are often the most accosiated with legends. They are good at a variety of jobs, they are skilled fighters and make good cat-runs, but also calm and relaxed enough for office jobs. They are often relatively week with raw power.

Dark

A somewhat rare element represented by sombra (the shadow). They are evil, smart creatures sually driven by bad intentions. They are good in a variety of odd skills, they are fast and sleek, and can perfectly mimic any person they choose.

Extinct

True

Usually regarded as extinct even though it's not, True is the rarest and most powerful of all the elements. Represented by raposa (the kitsune) people of the True element are good-natured, optimistic and brave. They can also be very mischievous and moody, but almost always end up making the right decision.

Growth

Not really extinct, the growth element is common for children, before their personality had developed, but since it's never been found in people older than 10 it's never really been a proper element. Represented by gatinho (the kitten).

Magic

One of the extinct elements, once very common. They eventually died down. People of the magic element, represented by estrelas (the star demon), the magic is a unique element with no definite personality.

Primitive

Represented by dentestável (the sabre-tooth tiger) the primitive element is one of the earliest elements that is now extinct.

Cast

Note, this is still a work in progress, more characters are likey to be editied. This page only involes characters and characteristics introduces/revealed in the first book. There are likely to be edits when I get onto the second book.

-- Major/Reoccouring Caracters --

Name: Captain Costa (Nickname Fox)
Species: Brazilian Fennec Fox
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Affiliation: Cat-Run (Captain)
Apprentices: Tiffany, Hayley, Charlie
Master: (!)
History:
Fox was born shortly after Gruchiano became the leader of cat-run. Not much is known about his childhood, but apparently it was rather rough. He was made an apprentice when he was thirteen, the same age as Hayley.
Cleo is Fox’ apprentice-mate, were both apprenticed, made cat-runs and captains together. Apparently, something occurred before the events of the series that Fox refuses to mention.
Bio:
Fox is a natural leader, he is strong and when he wants to be, smart. Despite all these traits, he is a loving and talented master to his apprentices, which is one of the reasons Cleo was made deputy over him. He is one of the strongest, yet youngest captains of 2.7, and he is especially fast.
Fox has never loved, as he mentioned, and is an atheist. While he had a particular dislike to the Kitulism religion, he does find it very interesting, and is of the thunder element. Fox said he owned a house in north Fancia, though he never goes into detail about it.

Name: Hayley Peekan
Species: Cat (Himilayan/Nebelung)
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Affiliation: Cat-Run (Apprentice)
Master: Captain Costa
History:
Hayley was born to Maria and Marley Peekan, and lived a fairly happy childhood. When she was still young, her father told her of his battles of when eh was a cat-run, and this is whey Hayley herself wants to become one. She wasn’t very wealthy, but her father was very religious, Hayley followed her father while her brother Ryan followed the more carefree nature of her mother.
Bio:
Hayley is among the youngest of the cat-runs, but this didn’t stop her. She is eternally curious and believes that everyone has a reason for being evil, even the wolvians. She is carefree and happy, but loyal to those she trusts. She is nimble with her claws.
Hayley’s best friend in school was Lily, and while a proper pain in the rear end, Hayley promised to be her friend for life. Hayley is a fast learner, and is the only known member of the extinct ‘true’ element, giving her unusual bonds with the legends. She is mentioned to ‘bring great things’, which are loyalty and friendship.

Name: Charlie
Species: Weasel
Gender: Male
Age: Fourteen
Affiliation: Avian
History:
Charlie was found and raised as a child by Quarto, an Avian, but since he was a mammal, he was often picked on and ignored. The only person who accepted him was scarlet, a pretty scarlet macaw, and the two quickly formed a romantic bond. It is never mentioned what happened to Quarto, but she most likely died naturally.
Bio:
Charlie is the most down-to-earth character. He is relaxed and free-loving, but he can also be hard to work with as he barely ever listens to his peers. He prefers to work alone, and looks only to himself, but despite this, he is an honest and caring person. He is a bit of a tease and a bit of a rebel, but one of the strongest cat-runs of his age. While he has emotions, he is able to hide them very well, and they very rarely effect the way he acts.
Charlie never mentions what element he is.

Name: Captain Cleo Grey (Nickname Cay)
Species: Red Fox
Gender: Male
Age: 29
CR Rank: Cat-Run (Captain/Deputy)
Apprentices: None
Master: (!)
History:
Cleo was born in the outskirts of Olo, and didn’t meet Fox until they became apprentices together, then they became quick friends. Shortly after becoming cat-runs, Cleo met Anna, and the two eventually fell in love. It isn’t mentioned how they met. Cleo became a deputy shortly before the book, and was preceded by Demgen.
Bio:
Cleo is the calmer-minded cat-run, and also the most responsible, though despite both of these things, he easily snaps and looses his temper. He is very tolerable, most likely because he had Fox as a partner for thirteen years. He is less of a leader-like person than Fox, and said he was unlikely to take on the position of cat-run leader if Gruchiano dies or retires.
Cleo is of the water element, but lacks any real interest in religion, (he still respects it, unlike Fox).

Name: Captain Gruchaino
Species: Grython
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Affiliation: Cat-Run (Leader)
Apprentices: Unknown
Master: Unknown
History:
Gruchiano was deputy for a long time before becoming a leader, and a leader for longer after that. Not much is known about him before that.
Gruchiano’s first deputy retired and replaced by Demgen, who was eventually killed shortly before the first book. He was followed by Cleo, the current deputy of cat-run.
Bio:
Gruchiano is strong, silent and considerate, but also secretive and deadly. It is never mentioned what element Gruchiano is, but he is loyal to the Kitsune, and was almost a minister before he became a cat-run. He is among the oldest cat-runs in Olo, excluding the retired ones, and naturally doesn’t fight a lot. But when he does, she had been known to kill his enemies within seconds.

Name: Anna Grey
Species: Cat (Grey and White)
Gender: Female
Age: None of your business.
Affiliation: Cat-Run (Nurse)

History:
The oldest of her ring of siblings, which include Chloe. At a young age Anna was encouraged to work hard, and she did. She was the bookworm of her family, and rarely liked to get into fights. When she was eighteen, she went to cat-run to be nurses with Chloe, and met Cleo, her future husband.
Bio:
Anna is the smart, straight lady of the series. She is cool-minded, but witty and ironic at the same time. She rarely shows concern, anger or fear, which is good given her job, but she often likes to taunt most others, including her husband, Cleo. She never mentions her element, but it’s most likely water.

Name: Chloe
Species: Cat (Calico)
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Affiliation: Cat-Run (Nurse)
History:
Chloe was among the younger members of her family, and more than a little odd. She was rebellious, unlike Anna, and loved getting into scruffs. Her parents didn’t like cat-runs, and so she was forced to study to be a nurse. She signed out to be a cat-run nurse, and her older sister Anna was made to keep an eye on her.
Bio:
Chloe is a bit wilder than Anna, but a lot sweeter and smater. Most of the cat-runs prefer to go to Anna, but Chloe is the better fighter of the two and often taken for patrols outside the ACS. Chloe is quiet and considerate, and likes outsmarting people and thinking of things they didn’t. She is of the thunder element, just like Fox.

-- Avian Caracters --

Name: Katrina Alfsol
Species: Skunk
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Affiliation: Cat-Run (Crun)
Apprentices: None
Master: Unknown
History:
Katrina lived in the same town as Fox, Sydney and Cecil. She was good friends with the trio, especially Sydney. Because she was younger, she didn’t become a cat-run until a season later, then she fell in love with Sydney. They broke up shortly before the first book.
Bio:
Katrina is sharp, fiery and short-tempered, she is rather self-centred, and isn’t afraid to treat anyone like dirt. Despite this, she is still a loyal, smart and strong cat-run. She is of the water element, and specialises in swords when fighting, despite this, she is also pretty good physically.

Name: Captain Sydney Perit
Species: Oakpi
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Affiliation: Cat-Run (Nurse)
Apprentices: Inferno, Keith
Master: Unknown
History:
Sydney was often bullied at school because he was one of few herbivores who wanted to become a cat-run. He initially made friends with Fox, the coolest kid in the school, so he wouldn’t get bullied, and their friendship ended up staying. After becoming a cat-run, he grew a relationship with Katrina, another friend of Fox’, but their love died before the first book.
Bio:
Sydney is among the more sensible of the cat-runs, but he does sill goof off at times. He is the mentor of Keith, who was held back from cat-run because he kept sneaking off, he is a strict and harsh mentor, unlike Fox. He is a skilled fighter, but he often ends up getting into fights with Katrina, his x-girlfriend.

Name: Keith Gelfod
Species: Cheetah
Gender: Male
Age: 16
CR Rank: Apprentice
Apprentices: None
Master: Captain Sydney
History:
Keith wasn’t interested in becoming a cat-run when he was younger, but his parents sent the request anyway, just to see if he was worthy. Shortly before the season Keith’s father died and his mother had a new baby, so Keith offered to go so she had less to worry about. Keith’s master was Sydney, who was strict and responsible, but Keith’s apprentice-mate Inferno instantly took a shine to him.
Bio:
Keith is shy, cautious, and not exactly cat-run material. But he is also strong and loyal, just and long as he knows his friends. He is a nice person, and apparently rather popular as for as ladies are concerned. Keith is much less serious than most cat-runs, and would much rather go for a walk in the park than anything else. Keith was often caught sneaking off, which caused him to have his ‘cat-runhood’ held up.

Name: Captain Cecilo Parfelo
Species: Black Panther
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Affiliation: Cat-Run (Captain)
Apprentices: Davi
Master: Unknown
History:
For most of his childhood Cecilo was mistaken for a girl and since he had a feminine personality he seemed to go with it. It wasn’t until he was a teenager that anybody realised he was a boy, which was rather aquward with him and Fox, as they had been dating at that time. After he found out his true gender he decided to become a cat-run, deciding that it seemed more responsible.
Bio:
Cecilo is a silent person, preferring to follow others than come up with ideas of his own. His ideas, however, are usually the best and he is a very bright person. He is the fastest of all the cat-runs in his unit, and often does more ‘undercover’ work than plain battling. Since he is very similar in appearance to the wolvians (they’re both black/grey) he is also very good at disguising.

WIP

YEY! Writing Again!

I'm begging to remember why I called it Divided Dreams in the first place.

Anyhoo... yea, i wrote a few chapters yesterday and Friday, i realised i might have to go back to the beginning and rewrite it a little, not all of it, just the nice, descriptive bits.

Right, word count time:

Pages: 91 (47)
Words: 13,700
Characters: 61,700
Paragraphs: 510
Lines: 2,600
Current Chapter: Sixteen

Anyway, when i changed it too A4 i had 47 pages. In A4 my last version had 52 pages. Not bad, but it made me realise. I may only have 5 or so chapters left. I'm getting deadly close to finishing my book. I'm not sure if it's gonna be 5 chapters exactly, i have 7 points to go, in Hayley's storyline alone, so i'm hoping it can be a little more. I know it's still gonna be longer than my last one, but by how much I just don't know.

Cast (TBP)

The Beta Project (aka “Beta”)

Beta is a robot, he is blue and has green eyes, and is equipped with a superior laser gun. He is the fifty-second experiment created by Maj, unique by his ability to feel love and have feelings. When he was originally created, he was rather dim and quiet, but he quickly became very considerate and intellectual. Beta is the most capable of his friends, because he is loyal and honest, but is of course, a robot, and sometimes has troubles understanding fellow ademais. He is in love with Kiana.

Kiana Silver

The future lass of the Campian, one of a few females left on board, and the only one able to have a baby. She is a snow leopard, and very hot headed. Because of her brashness she often finds herself jumping into things, but is also very thoughtful, witty and tactical. Kiana’s mother died when she was six, leaving her in the hands of her father, the captain of the Campian. She is very close with her mentor Maj, who trains her in engineering, and Beta, to whom she has a very strange relationship with.

Maj

A mechanic who has a passion for creating robots, including Alpha and Beta. She is a Siamese cat, and the last in a long family history, although neither of her parents are ever mentioned. She was a very close friend of Rosa, the last lass of the Campian. She is very witty and spunky, and very hyperactive and silly, despite being one of the oldest on the Campian. She created her robots so she would have a successor, and was often teased for her failure, little did her peers know her true intention was to create a robot almost indistinguishable from an ademais. She is photophobic.

Judas Silver (aka "The Captain”)

The Captain of the Campian, he is a Persian cat. He is very loyal and stern, and dislikes being called anything other than ‘The Captain.’ He is also very ignorant and arrogant, and has gathered much criticism from his peers, but is only a bit brash and conclusive. He was one married to Rosa, and he has a daughter, Kiana. After Rosa died the Captain decided that Kiana was to be protected in case she ran away. He is not overprotective, but believes that letting Kiana to roam free would cause her too choose a poor husband.

The Alpha Project (aka “Alpha”)

Maj’s fifty-third experiment, created a few years after Beta. She is a dark yellow robot, and lacks Beta’s thoughtfulness and love. She lacks any form of desire or love, and, while not emotionless, is very cold and quiet. She is easily manipulated, and has trouble deciding whom she should trust.

Updaties

Just to show i'm not dead, here is a rare an exclusive update. Lucky you!

Anyway, my book is still at 68 pages, not updated recently, i think this is partly because i don't feel like writing, or because i've gotten to one of those dead ends... the boring bits that you never work on.

I was playing around with the formatting of the book, here is one of the pages (obviously, the real thing is in English, just wanted to clear that):

And while I'm at it, here is the WHOLE BOOK that i've written so far!


Also, more good news! I've finished the current arc for The Psychic Ferret! And i've pretty much done the cast page too, which means i can get working on here again! The first thing i'm gonna do is renovate the background and header. Then i'll get working on the cast page.

Expect a post named 'cast' in the near future! ;)

Inspiration Boost

I just read warrior cats 5 and it was soo sad. :(

It's one of those few books that have really inspired me to keep working, i was up all night thinking about it, or course, that was mostly because i thought there were only 5 books in the series.

Anyway, i'm 68 pages into cat-run, and at the point where Hayley runs away. I'm not sure if i did it too early, but feck, I could go on forever and barely unse the stuff i introduce. I've not exactly planned any further, sure, i have a general idea, but i still need to plan it out.

Anyway, i'm thinking of just flunking the cast page, barely anyone watches this, so it wouldn't help much.

/EDIT:

Since i posted the wordcount a while ago, here it is again:

Pages: 68
Words: 10,280
Characters: 55,880
Lines: 1,910

The Beta Project

(this page will curently be used as a general 'about TBP', but I'll split it up when I get a new icon for the sidebar.)

--

The Beta Project (or TBP if you want to be lazy) is my second book which I am writing alongside cat-run. It's based in the same universe and the characters are the same species (anthropomorphic animals) but the characters are different, as this book take place many many generations into the future. In this time, Earth has been destroyed by some unknown apocalypse, and the animals (or the amedis as they like to call themselves) have fled up into space on several ships, and the Campain is the only one that remains.

The story follows Kiana, the last female left able to have a female baby due to a special drug, and is also the daughter of the Captain of the Campian. After her mother died when she was six, she was left into the hands of her father who was desperate not to let her get mixed with other people her age, for fear of her not choosing a suitable captain to succeed him. She is locked away, only able to talk to Maj, a close friend of her mother's and a somewhat crazy mechanic.

But it is Maj who invents the Beta Project, a special robot who can feel love, and when it's directed at Kiana things begin to go awry. The two run away together, to a planet inhabited by aliens, and fall into a strange relationship, but they both know that they should stop running, but fight for their love. But that is not all easy, knowing that their love comes with the extinction of their planet.

Updates (the generic sort)

Writing this from my school computer.

Last night i had an unusual urge to write, and got like, 10 pages of cat-run done! :D I'm currently on page 45 (or i think so) and still only introducing the chacters. Actually, i've only really got one to go (with the exeption of the wolvians). I'm on my final day before Hayley runs away, hopefully it will happen around page 50-ish.

This website needs a redesign, when i made the wallpaper i knew it would be too small for widescreens, and i was right (i got a widescreen computer... with a pretty screen!)

Currently i've been thinking of a new project to go along with Pyschic Ferret and Cat-Run. It will be another novel called 'The Beta Project'. Set in the futuristic world of cat-run, where the remaining animals have all taken life in space. The main characters would be a cat who is the only female left in existance, a robot, and an alien. It's been going on and off in my mind, i think i might get somewhere someday.

Also, i've been drawing the character a lot lately, but since i need to get the psychic ferret cast page first, i'm gonna be behind.

Okay, a short update. Along the side i've added a toolbar with links to the stuff about cat-run. This'll probably be more convenient when most of my posts are progress updates. Currently, only two of them have been made, one of which needs a little tweak. If you look at the list, you can see all the blog posts you'll expect.

When i've done that, i'll upload a few short stories. But for now, look out for news about cat-run.

Haley Out.
