Hmm I might be turning my story into a movie <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Anyone interested in the idea? (would be a cgi movie done ala HL2 Engine)
Next post I make will be of the update for my story. Part 2, section one <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Keep a look out for it, my story will have everything from lerks with NVG goggles, to ferai with kevlar vests.

Ok. I told a tiny lie. The story may take a little longer than expected. Hopefully, provided I can get some free time, I should be able to write another part of the story this weekend. Be looking forward to it as it has lots of interesting stuff, including the beginnings of a war that will eventually lead to the origin of a certain strain of bacteria.... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I'll leave it there. PS: ARRRRR!!!
Updated story with chapter names <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Should help clarify the devision structure <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Part 2 is coming. First chapter: communication <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ^^
Still writing "Communication". Will hopefully have it finished today. That's if I can get it checked and stuff ^^ It's nice to get writing this again.
Oh if anyone wants to help with turning this story into a movie, please PM me. I am currently after the following: -Mappers -Texture people -Modelers (very skilled please, this would be HL2 level of detail <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->) -Actors (yes, actors. the movie will be done inside the hl2 engine over the internet - your voice may not be required...it's weird..voices and so on would be recorded BEFORE the movie sequence is made)
Thanks again for the good feedback <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> If the feedback is any indication, it's going to be difficult to live up to them in later chapters. Expect much more action and a lot of deep philosophical thingies later on. There will be I estimate about 27 chapters, at 4 pages each. Meaning this story will be of novel size O_O. Even then I don't think it will be done <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
And chapter 4 is out!! rah!! rah!! etc!!! Now I can have a break before I work on chapter 5, which is a BIG chapter as far as story elements go. This one goes for the "O_O" factor. Look out <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Oh, To clear something up while I try to get some concept art to help; the T'kan are the ancestors of the fades pretty much, well...minus the shoulder cannon and scythes for hands, and 3 finger hands in place of the scythes. Oh, and fur too. I've also changed the font and fiddled a bit around with a few things to make it look better.

Yes, very nice indeed. I noticed that the athmosphere comes over very strong in this one. The T'Kan seem quite different from their darker future, but that's because the Fades are made for combat and combat only I take. More of this please! And fork over that concept art, I wanna know exactly what a T'Kan looks like.
I agree, well written and unique aspect, I like the format easy to read, Beast the story is progressing well. I look forward to the concept art, will add another dimension. Keep writing.
*progress report* Finished planning chapter 5, now it's a case of finding the time to write it. School is making this difficult as I now have a lot of homework. Should be able to get it up by saturday maybe? Thank you for the continued good feedback by the way. It's nice to get some of my creativity down.
Oh, I might be able to get a few info pages on the characters and such up to go with the story. Maybe with a "ferai->english" translation thingy or something lol. Oh, as a treat, here is a picture of one of the tribal logos. This is for a tribe not currently mentioned in the story so far. It's only 2kb, so meh, here it is ^^ GG gofaster stripes? heheh I'll leave it to your imagination what it is <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
*progress update* With some luck I will get writing chapter 5 before the weekened. All planning finished for it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> With even more luck I might be able to write and finish it today <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Keep your eyes open.

I'd like to mention that I just did the 1000st (and 1001st) view of this thread. It's been around since July 31st. Now <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=7&t=47528' target='_blank'>this thread</a> on the other hand has only been around since September 16th, and it's bordering on 5000 hits. Tell me people, what do the broad masses want? Women, not cuddly, tasty Ferai. It'd probably be bordering on 50000 if she showed skin. Lucky I'm not the broad masses. Gimme chapter five already!
reckon you should add some art pics of the farai into the story, just to make it a little bit more enjoyable <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> then again its up to you.
Chapter 5 should be out soon. By soon I mean in a matter of hours->days. Maybe today If i can get it checked over and stuff. Just need to work out some stuff.
As for the art, well, there should be another peice on it's way, thanks to buzzard, but everyone is welcome to contribute some ferai art (non chibi hehe) <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
