Part 18A Released!

Wow, 3 posts in one day! That's a new record for me!

*ahem* Anyways, the Titan crew encounters several dangling plot threads from eme12's late-lamented This is War! Can the crew create a plausible outcome for them?

SporeWiki + Spore Revolution = EPIC FAILURE

Once again, fungus3 has done something awful (I know it isn't him, but I just want one person to blame it on). This time, he's actually suggested merging the Spore Revolution universe (where most of my series take place, along with eme12's and fungus3's) with the SporeWiki fanfic universe.

I'm opposed to this for several reasons, but here are my main gripes.

  1. Continuity: Let's face it, we can barely make good crossovers with other SR series. Just look at the last few parts of STNL² and The Spore Project for proof; and a crossover with the SW universe would be ten time worse. Plus, I don't know a whole lot about the SW universe (I did, once, but my brain fortunately got rid of those memories).
  2. Interactive vs. Non-Interactive: SR is totally different from SW in that it's interactive, allowing users to vote on the adventures and see what happens next. By contrast, SW (in my mind) is just where different users use races to their will. It's not the best analogy, but it's the only one I could think of.
  3. My Precious: I always thought of the SR-verse as "ours", and what makes it great is that not a lot of people are involved with it; allowing easy communication. On the other hand, SW is made up with lost more different users who probably don't share the same views on what they can and can't do.
These are just my two cents (or three) cents on the issue. Fortunately, it may not happen; and I can find a way to deal with it if it does. Maybe I could split the SR-SW crossover into a different universe and leave the old one intact.

The End (of Summer) is Nigh

Well, here we are again. Summer's just about over, and tomorrow I'm headed off for nine months of torture in that despotic place known as "school". Fortunately, I'll still be able to make STNL² parts, albeit at a reduced pace because I won't be in front of my computer as often; especially since part of one of my classes is online.

I have just one question: WHY MUST THIS BE?!

Olara and co. have raised an army to secure Worge from clutches of the Pernajahs! But something tells me it won't be that simple...

Why's Worge so scared?

Part 17B Released!

Yes! I finally did it! I got off my lazy butt and made another STNL² part! Not only that, it also is part of a crossover with fungus3's The Spore Project (you might wanna play a bit of that too.)

Pictures:
The Titan faces the TS Lahlia (oh god).

ALL HAIL LAHLIA

Yes, it's a giant flying chicken...

Sincere Apologies

Hello. Just thought I'd tell y'all I'm not dead (in fact, far from it!), and explain why it's been so long since the last STNL² part. I'm still making the series, but here's why production has slowed:

  1. Creator's Block: First of all, I'm rapidly running out of ideas for the series. I have only the next few parts definitely planned (but I won't give any spoilers; sorry.)
  2. Real Life: Unlike some people I know, I have a life other than SPORE. It's just that sometimes, being IRL leaves little time for SPOREing (neologisms FTW!)
  3. Boredom: This kinda goes along with #2. Basically, when I'm not playing SPORE, I have less of a desire to get on it until I play it once; then the cycle repeats.

So, those are my main reasons why it's been taking so long. I'm actually working on the next part while I'm writing this, so hopefully I can make it in a week or so. As a parting gift, here's a little something to make you laugh:
