Andromeda
The Quiet One

I guess that's true. A busy person like yourself would surely know. A chapter every week of Shift doesn't sound so bad, either.

I actually pushed myself to finish Chapter 2. You'll find it edited in my blog entry and the thread I made. And also, while I did get the idea of a chapter preview from you (The Inner man to be more specific), Phantasy Star Universe pretty much gave me a push to go through with it. And with different things happening along the way, it'll probably be one of the few things I'd be motivated to write every time. Some characters may not interact as much in the main story, for example, so I could do it during a chapter preview. And from the looks of it, I'm inclined to believe it is already in a category of its own. it may be a fan fic based on Yu-Gi-Oh, but I want it to be based more on the card game than the anime. I plan to make that reference to Yugi Muto to be the only reference from the anime series. I may go as far as to make it PG-13, as Season 0 of the anime was perhaps in the same rating as well. You would understand if you watched it or read the first volumes of the manga.

Oh, yes. I'm more at ease when I'm off. On a work day I feel more pressure due to the time limit I give myself before turning in.

Hardly anything pushes me. I'm starting to fear I may be the least motivated person I know ._.

I may read everything later tonight. Right now, I just want to relax and perhaps even write a little. So much to do later ^^

Given all I had planned and perhaps all the praise I could get from it in the future, I thought it would be motivation enough. I guess not >.>'

I really like both siblings so I feel sorry for Yumi as well, especially now that they're facing problems of their own.

I could do that, or I could play more games than usual ;p I have plenty of time and plenty to write, but sometimes the willpower's not enough. Rewriting it has turned out to be harder than I thought it would be but I can do it.

Then you won't have problems keeping things exciting.

I have just read Chapter 73 and now I've read how Yori found out about his father's affair. I just can't help but feel sorry for him.

I just wish I had the strength and energy to write it all quickly as I have a feeling it may take a while at this rate. But at least I have tomorrow and the day after off so that'll help.

I understand. So the number of possibilities narrows down quite a bit. But at least you plan to make him more variable in the second arc. People tend to get bored when things get too repetitive.

Yup. I even have ways to develop each character and give them more screen time than usual. Perhaps one of my mistakes may have been everything falling into place too fast but at least I'm just beginning.

It's that Pokemon Online game I downloaded, it's kept me busy and it's pretty addicting. At least I've been able to come up with new ideas and a potential story arc for my story while I go to work. So giving myself more time may be a good thing, but I won't overdo it >_>

At least the possibilities are almost limitless. It may not be easy as you said, but it's only until the next crazy thing comes to mind. Of course, after getting close to 180 chapters, I can see why it can be more difficult as time passes ^^;

It was a breath of fresh air so I can't complain. I realized he wasn't so helpless when I started learning about his past so I knew he would eventually get better. And with imagination as vast as his, I doubt the chapters will get dull

Unrelated topic but I just wanted to say progress has been going smooth yet slowly on my end. I tried multitasking, but apparently much progress can't get done when you focus more on a game. ._.

And once he got over that mental block, he was able to control his power better. I was actually wondering if he was going to be nearly helpless the whole time. Guess not.

I'd like to see how far everyone develops now. To the next chapter we go.

It was also that false "memory" that held him back, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm going to tell you right now that I have a much better opinion about Ayumi after seeing her display her real emotions as well as catching a glimpse of her past. ^^

I knew he has gotten better but being able to use it freely would make things easier for him. Of course, there's always the possibility of much stronger assassins.

And I thought it was 97, but we're both close enough.

Gee, just 30? Yeah, that's not a long time from now >.>

Yuki disguising as an old man. Genius.

As always, you can count on a (very) brief review at certain points. I'm already starting 70.

It's a detail I didn't miss, as you can obviously tell. I kept thinking having other characters having powers would make things even more interesting than they already were. And after the fight with Demosthenes, it looks like Saki may have something as well.

I'll stay tuned to see what becomes of Seiji. I know I'll eventually catch up.

I figured Yuki wasn't going to be the only one with powers after he and Seiji took down an assassin together far back in the story. And you guessed it, Seiji's sub-arc is my favorite out of the three. There's something about him that pulls me more to the story, it's probably just the way you made him. Plus the scenes with the ghost woman were hilarious. You know how much I appreciate comedy.
