No Longer Part of the Jawbreaker Chronicle

I'm unsure on whether or not to make a blog post about this, but I guess I will.

Due to creative differences, I am no longer a staff member of the Jawbreaker Chronicle. No, there was no falling, and there was no fight. We just agreed to go our separate ways.

In other news, I'm working on Chapter Three of Ed's Game Room: Pokémon Blue Version. I cannot guarantee a new chapter every Tuesday, but I will try to do a chapter less than fourteen days after the last one. The Eds will likely make their way past Brock before I start writing for the next playthrough by the Eds. That's right; I'll be going back and forth among games. The next story will be about the Eds playing Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex Strikes Back. The Eds will get about eight crystals before I go back to writing for Pokémon Blue Version, and no, they won't be doing the levels in order. I usually play the levels in that game in order (...Level 12, Level 13, Level 14...) until the last Warp Room, where I do levels 22, 23, and 24 in that order before gradually getting to Levels 21 and finally Level 25. However, I decided that the Eds would probably not do the levels in order... except for Double D (possibly).

I'm still working on The NEW Grim Edventures of Ed, Edd n Eddy by the way. I might even work on an episode of another Ed, Edd n Eddy fan fiction (like Another Road or a certain other story).

Apparently, nobody but CartoonEdsBoy2009 cares that I ended The All-New Ed, Edd n Eddy Show: The Sweet Escape. I will be writing its spiritual successor with no name eventually. That is all for now.

MAN, IT'S COLD!

A lot has changed since I last made a blog. I now have a series that will hopefully continue to have frequent updates. I could talk about Ed's Game Room here, but I've discussed it much more thoroughly here and here and here. There's been a big snow storm, which means I might be able to work on stories more frequently for the next few days. Here are a few updates on certain stories.


The Future of NEW Grim Edventures

This story will hopefully be continued relatively soon. I've mentioned on the story's page on the Ed Fanon Wiki (you may have to view the page's history) that this story is on hold right now. However, last night I got a little bit of work done on Episode Ten. Sometimes I just become stumped on how to handle the episode. Recently I watched a video about a guy named Captain Pronin. It was hilarious, and it reminded me of why I like The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy so much. The writer is constantly trying to make the audience laugh. I tried that approach with Episode Seven (chapter nine and ten), and I really like that particular chapter. Thus, I think I'll apply this technique to Episode Ten. It'll make a lot of sense when you look at the episode's plot, which, as of right now, is a secret.

I'd also like to talk about the future of this story. You see, Episode Eighteen will be the last episode of Season One. Hopefully, I'll be able to find the time to write a second season, even if it's only a few episodes. I counted, and there are at least twenty-two episodes I would like to do by the end of the series. Many of these stories involve the Eds going to school, like the "Chicken Lab" episode or the "Nergal Jr. becomes the teacher" episode. I'm not sure which stories will be featured and which stories will ultimately be cut.

I'd like to discuss Episode Fourteen and Episode Eighteen. Episode Fourteen is likely going to be very long, like the Halloween special, which recently took me over fifty minutes to read. Episode Fourteen will use elements from the Cartoon Network Invaded mini-series, which involved the Eds and Billy & Mandy. I have a lot of ideas for Episode Fourteen, but I won't spoil too much for you here.

Episode Eighteen will be about the Venusian Grim Reaper (as opposed to the Martian Grim Reaper) convincing Grim to come stay with him on another planet, where his contract with the Eds holds no validity (I don't know how that works either). I don't have as many ideas for this one, so it might remain a chapter of standard length like Episode Eight (I think that Episode Eight only took twenty minutes to read).

Overall, this series still holds a lot of promise, and I hope to continue it for a long, long time.


Ed's Game Room

My latest story Ed's Game Room: Pokémon Blue Version will hopefully resume soon. In case it wasn't made clear by the story summary on fanfiction.net, the Eds will be picking Squirtle for their playthrough of Pokémon Blue Version. The gyms will also be out of order, so after Misty is defeated, the Eds will take on Koga and then Lt. Surge, then Blaine. Giovanni will still be last, as if I had a choice in the matter.

In case you guys are wondering about how I go about writing Ed's Game Room––assuming you've never looked at the thread on Earth 2 Edd––I usually record the footage onto a DVD+R or DVD-R (which requires a lot less effort than you would think), and I later write the story while viewing the footage I recorded. Right now, I've gotten up to Lavender Town on Pokémon Blue Version, but I'm taking a break, which might end very soon. Maybe. I might get distracted by beating the Elite Four on the original Pokémon Sapphire Version. The point is: I'm pretty far ahead of where the actual story is now. I've just written the part where the Eds decide on which Pokémon to get. Heck, I haven't even written the part where they obtain their Pokémon. Gosh, I really should get to work on this story.

I'm afraid I can't give much more of an update. I don't want to spoil too much for you guys.

Other Stories

I have other stories planned, like that Cartoon Network Mega Crossover story and, of course, Ed, Edd n Eddy Another Road. Only time will tell which stories will actually get published. It's probably going to be the CN Mega Crossover, though. 

Closing Thoughts

In closing, I hope I have updated whomever it may concern on what I'll be doing on fanfiction.net for a little while. Well, that's pretty much it. I don't have any other closing thoughts. The Sonic Boom T.V. series looks pretty good so far, even if I've only caught the first four or five segments. [Awkwardly looks around the room]
