'cause like

I'm only topped on that by you

Oh yes. After having a full day to mull it over, I think I'm onto something great. Some brand new, potentially wonderful plot eggs are now cooking...

You know when you take a break from something for a long time and when you come back you see it in a whole new light all of a sudden? Everything suddenly clicks! Or you re-think something so many times the exact same way until one time you think, hey, what if this happened instead? And suddenly it's a hundred times better than you thought it was!

So I was looking at The Wild as a whole and what we had so far and I realized that what I had planned for ROA and it's ending were much too unresolved and open for this to be considered a final book. And after looking at the timeline, I noticed that things could very easily be pushed together into sooner books, and suddenly all this open space for story started showing up! When it comes down to it, despite the grand finale feel and the big war and everything, ROA is still only up till book 6 out of 7. And in addition to that, the things I wanted to do with the Ethyrium and all that are so far out there story wise that they would almost be better suited for a spin off series or special edition book or something down the line. So with that stuff crossed out, I started thinking of ROA as a book 6 and not a finale, and a TON of new story started pouring in, and in my opinion it's better than ever! Just because ROA has a big war and stuff doesn't mean it has to be the ending. Not every finale book has to have a giant battle or war to make it seem grander than it is. In fact, all that fighting could even be better used to set up the state of the world for the actual final book. So what I'm kind of thinking about now is this:

Book One: The group first coming together and hunting for Zarrock and finding out about the Soul Key and the Phoenix and stuff.

Book Two: Maybe throw in more Syrune, finding out about the power sources and first introducing the wolf pack, as well as some early bits with Kale still in the roost.

Book Three: Kale's story at the roost, the wolves and the whole introducing T'Sone arc, and the birds ending with the battle in the NM with Rinka becoming a Phoenix.

Book Four: This one I'm thinking two stories happening in separate places with sprinkles of the other characters moving around the game board all over. I'm thinking we've got the wolves rescuing Rose and the whole defeating T'Sone arc, while at the same time the birds intertwining with Kale's plot line at the prison and ending with everyone meeting back up.

Book Five: This is the one I struggle with the most to find plot to fill in but I know it should end with Tyrin going to the Ethyrium.

Book Six: Beginning of Reign of Ashes with the time jump to Tyrin coming back and warning about Agathar and then being killed and Agy taking over, then we can do the first few years and setting up Rinka's city and the separate plot lines, though some we've started now in rp might actually happen in book 7 instead, we'll have to discuss. But I think this book should end with The Wild's army going to fight Agathar at The Spire, and something big happening *the new plot I came up with the past few days* that leads into the final book.

Book Seven: Part two of Reign of Ashes, *spoiler* defeating *spoiler spoiler* and plot finally ending with *spoiler spoiler* to close out the series beautifully.

This is my official start to an outline for the series. Every single one of you who wants to and is able to is more than welcome to help work on this series, I know Ruki and Wild for example are getting right in there down to words on each page. This is a team effort, but as the initial conceiver of the story and world, this the direction I want to go in with the story and the book break down. I am more than open to help and suggestions from my fellow co-writers, but as kind of the father of all this I'm saying this is what I want as for the main outline in terms of the number of books and general flow, something I had never fully thought out till now as a whole. The only things about this whole process that I think should be mainly left up to me is the number of books and the actual ending. We're all helping to make this the best it can be, but I hope you all understand that this was and is my dream and I think I've more than earned the right to a final say on some things like the number of books or the ending. We're all helping raise it, but The Wild is my child. I hope you all who are going to be co-writing understand that I'm still team captain on some things at the end of the day. I'm not going to force things on you, but at the same time I don't want messages like "no it should be 3 books" or "actually it should end with this". I'm open to suggestions, of course, but there are some things that should be up to the guy who created this whole universe to begin with. As long as that's understood, we can actually begin writing now with this outline. (once we all get it fleshed out more)

So, co-writers! As of now that means Wild and Ruki!

Our first step is to fill out that outline! Excluding the second half of book 7 for now. I'm keeping my ideas for the ending a secret till we get farther along, and at some point we'll have to keep the outline out of the public view when we get more serious. Don't worry! I'm not keeping the ending from the co-writers forever! I just think it's kind of sacred and I want to hold onto it and really think about it till we get to writing the books for real, and even then I may not tell my ideas for the end direction until we're on book 4 or 5. Maybe sooner.

I realize now after a bit that I way over explained and defended myself on some stuff that really didn't need it XD I blame lack of sleep and my abnormal brain. The TLDR on all that is look I have an outline finally done after all these years, help write it but don't fight me too much on some big things at the end of the day.

That sounds a lot nicer. I'm gonna die of exhaustion now.

Pertaining to my characters of course. The endings I mean. I mean don't fight me on what my own characters are doing and how the ending will affect them. If you think your charries would do X or Y in this book or that book or situation you still have every right to bring that up.

Shadow of the Colossus came out at midnight and it just finished downloading. Goodbye sleep.

I only read that initial post before I chatted with you on Skype Jay. I didn't even realize you had posted four more times since then XD

O.o

Wild! I see you!

Yes! Yes you do! XD

And now you don't! Because I'm headed off to bed XP

This has been a busy week, so sorry for a lack of RP! ^.^ Thankfully tomorrow is Friday, so as long as I finish up my studies for the day well before work, I'll be able to post a lot more! I want to post a short thing for Najmah, 'cause now I'm eager for her reunion with Raiya. (I'm totally going to have Thalak gather some of Ruki's, Crow's, and your characters to go with Raiya when she goes after Moonpelt, because "Raiya, you can't do these things on your own!")
I also want to post an alternate scene in Kale's Tales. It'll be 'What if Tyrin, during a time with no battles, just showed up to say hi to Rinka in her hollow?' It won't be that long of a scene, but it'll be great!

Anyway, good night! Sweet dreams! I'll talk to you guys tomorrow!

My only request is all my characters be introduced waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay earlier. 

Khiarra would be the hardest since her backstory is so secluded from everyone else.... the best way I could think of to get everyone to her island is that one of the parts to the Key is there *shrug*

This is literally the only scene that I've seen from the movie, and I agree XD

Ooh, I like the backstory for Josh! Is there going to be a continuation?

That's the plan! I had to stop because I've been having major writers block and needed to get the first part out before I lost it

TIME TO CALL OUT @Jaystep !!!

Reign of Ashes is basically the Lion King!


We have a king (Mufasa/gonna call him Nathan who is beloved by all and usurper (Scar/Agathar) devises a plot to kill the king (Mufasa/Nathan) and his son, the prince (Simba/Tyrin). The usurper (Scar/Agathar) has a hoard of underlings (hyenas/Shades) in which he orders to disrupt the prince (Simba/Tyrin) and his friend(s) (Nalaa/Rinka, Drellan, ect). Eventually through circumstance the usurper (Scar/Agathar) has his chance and takes the life of the king (Mufasa/Nathan) and sends his underlings (hyenas/Shaes) to kill the prince (Simba/Tyrin) instead of doing it himself. The prince (Simba/Tyrin) escapes, and lives in exile for quite some time.... only to return with allies he made while in exile (Timon and Pumbaa/the Phoenix Guard). Through various events the usurper (Scar/Agathar) is overthrown and the prince (Simba/Tyrin) restores balance and takes is place as rightful king of the P R I D E L A N D S and everyone lives happily ever after.

Jay you owe us an explain.

The Lion King is such a basic story at its core you could do that with almost any story XD 

Although you did get some things wrong. Like for example Agathar killed Tyrin himself and isn't trying to rule, he's trying to save his people and is the hero of his own story. 

Also you're insinuating that this has a happy ending with Tyrin and his mate and friends (and feathers) saving the day and ruling happily over the lands. 

Which would be wrong.
