The Rival in Gabriel's Bedroom For Some Odd Reason
You know, you could've had Gabriel pick up the phone. --ScorpionTail (talk) 00:04, September 9, 2013 (UTC)

The Rival's stealthy, and I was thinking Gabe was outside on a balcony not in his room.--Zeromaro (talk) 00:10, September 9, 2013 (UTC)

Finishing up the Writing Project
Hey there,

First of all, great work on collaborating to the writing project! I'm really enjoying your entries, and we wanted to invite a contributor to end the story today. Is that something you'd be open to doing? If so, let me know!

Kate 20:01, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

I wanted to invite you to be that person to finish the story today, if you're interested. If not, of course we can ask someone else.

Let me know, Kate 20:39, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Fantastic, just let me know when you wrap it up! We were planning on having it done in the next 3 hours, so any time around then would be great!

Kate 20:42, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Kate 21:10, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Reaction to Ending
If it's okay, can I ask why you made Rose leave Gabriel? --ScorpionTail (talk) 02:01, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

I never thought I'd ever get a question on shipping. Rose still likes Gabriel, but not as much as when they're out doing exciting events like busting down these terrorists. '''I'm not even the one who brought up the part about Rose getting bored with her new life with Gabe. In case I wasn't clear in that part about Rose joining the group, they broke up in a good way.''' Besides don't you think that the whole Vampire and Human coupling thing is a little cliché? (werewolves not as much but same idea) I'm well aware that Rose could have made some time for Gabe, but Rose was fresh in her career she couldn't have made much time. Besides from a reader's point of view, Gabe didn't get the same buildup towards Rose as she did with him. Their relationship is kind of like with couples who are divorced but still love each other, but can't live with each other. Plus I wanted to be a little unpredictable, I'm sure people like you were expecting Rose and Gabe pairing up in romantic moment, so I thought I'd add a plot twist. I'm all for romance, but I have to be a little realistic too.--Zeromaro (talk) 02:24, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

Okay. That actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for telling me, and I'll be sure to keep this in mind for when the next project starts. Speaking of which, have any ideas? --ScorpionTail (talk) 02:25, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

Other than Rose, which I no longer have an issue with due to your explanation, I'd say that the ending was handled quite well, so you did a fantastic job drawing the story to a close. It was an honor working with you. --ScorpionTail (talk) 02:28, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

You spoke about the next project, TAO: Rize of the Ying-Yang which I think is the samurai story, well I can't delve into anything until they officially start Friday, but I am thinking of involving Yoto. And I mean both meanings; the kana can be read as 'cursed/demon/spirit/magic sword' or 'Western Sword'.--Zeromaro (talk) 03:01, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

That's the girl story, actually. --ScorpionTail (talk) 03:03, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

Well nobody really told me that until now. But I'm still keeping this idea for the samurai part.--Zeromaro (talk) 03:04, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Name confusion
I know, the name that the witch was muttering was the name of the buddhist maiden, Mibu just picked out that one name as it stood out to him. The question of "What did this strange girl want with him?" Is not related to the fact that he wants to know who Fuujichan is. Rainbow Shifter 18:03, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, that part about the muttering wasn't clear.--Zeromaro (talk) 18:05, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

I feel odd
When someone makes a bad post, what should I do about it? Just get rid of it? I know I sound inept, but I want to make sure I'm not breaking any rules. --ScorpionTail (talk) 05:35, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

Am I that person who made that bad post? If it is, I'll find some way to fix it. You can't just get rid of something, that's the wiki staff's job; the rules state that no one other than the editor of paragraphs can change or get rid of his/her posts. If you do that, you'll probably get thrown out of the project.

You're fine. I restored the edit, so no harm, no foul. --ScorpionTail (talk) 06:23, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

You there? --ScorpionTail (talk) 06:32, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I'm here.--Zeromaro (talk) 06:34, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

Let me explain. DuskNeo's post had too many sentences in it, so I thought it was a good idea to get rid of it, as it was a violation of the rules and other users did similar things about this problem. Then out of pressure of possibly getting temporarily banned, I brought it back. I hope that the staff don't get too annoyed with me. I really care about this project. --ScorpionTail (talk) 06:37, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

I really need your advice on this one. How do I handle this? --ScorpionTail (talk) 06:42, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

You have to contact the staff like Kate.moon, they're the supervisors for this whole thing.--Zeromaro (talk) 06:46, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

I told Kate.moon about it. I am actually panicking right now. Normally, I don't react like this, but this just feels too serious. --ScorpionTail (talk) 07:10, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

Who is talking?
Which characters are talking in your most recent post? --ScorpionTail (talk) 01:46, September 15, 2013 (UTC)

What's Wrong?
What was up with that post, Zero? You okay, buddy? --ScorpionTail (talk) 01:54, September 17, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry I just felt like people kept perverting explanations after events were already explained; I already said to everyone that my fox character was his own person trapped between realities not an extension of Mibu or a demon sealed inside of him, but it felt like people just ignored that and wrote whatever they wanted. Like when that DuskNeo took out the last sentence of one of my posts without asking (the one where Mibu demanded an explanation after all the crazy antics). Then some random user brought the whole Erika name thing in and when he put it between posts, soon some users made post that started to make less sense like when Evil Erika/Wrath/Urumi suddenly became Kirasaki's sister when it was already explained that she was Erika's evil and name taken form. I'm glad people are making their own ideas, but things are going completely out of control, Red Bat was similar but at least it made a lot more sense. I just got really annoyed that people kept ignoring what I put up for their own benefit.--Zeromaro (talk) 03:12, September 17, 2013 (UTC)

I think I may have found a solution to your problem, Zeromaro. Care to find out what it is? If you're interested, that is. --ScorpionTail (talk) 03:17, September 17, 2013 (UTC)

Bear with it and hold back on the comments? If that's not it enlighten me.--Zeromaro (talk) 03:22, September 17, 2013 (UTC)

Nope. Seeing as he was technically just introduced, how about making him a bit condescending? After all, his comment about being a demon could just be his way of saying something in terms that he believes someone is smart enough to understand, as he believes that they are either too stupid or too easily confused to comprehend the truth. --ScorpionTail (talk) 03:25, September 17, 2013 (UTC)

You did it! Problem solved. And now to take care of the "sister" thing. --ScorpionTail (talk) 03:37, September 17, 2013 (UTC)

Thank You
Thank you so much for helping me. I'm forever in your debt, friend. --ScorpionTail (talk) 05:53, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

The Sean and Infer-whatever thing?--Zeromaro (talk) 05:54, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

Yes. You just saved us all from an edit war. Thank you very much. That will teach that plagiarist and his buddy a lesson. --ScorpionTail (talk) 05:56, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

Anyway, I have to thank you again. I don't know, it's just that a situation like this one never happened to be before. --ScorpionTail (talk) 06:14, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

Video about Writing Project
Hey there Zeromaro,

Wikia is thinking about doing a video around the 3 Masters of Animanga writing projects and we would like some community input. Would you be interested in joining us for a quick google hangout where we talk about the project? If so let me know, and I'd like to get that set up.

Thanks! Kate 19:20, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

Sure, but do you have a link when it's ready?--Zeromaro (talk) 22:14, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

If you want to email me at kate@wikia-inc.com, we can discuss more details.

Thanks! Kate 22:32, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

Nice Post
Zeromaro,

I really liked ur post about mentioning how Mizuki being darkness does not necessarily make her evil. That's a really good philosophical idea that fits really well with the plot. Keep up the good work!

http://masters-of-animanga.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity You don't mind visiting it, do you? We could use more contributors. --ScorpionTail (talk) 20:09, September 22, 2013 (UTC)

hey, could you clarify who said what in your last post on the collaboration story. it's not very clear. Forest Dragon Slayer (talk) 23:11, September 23, 2013 (UTC)

Yo hey again. Just to remind you, we're supposed to be focusing on Zan right now and not Ryuunosuke and Virginia. they're supposed to be later Forest Dragon Slayer (talk) 23:21, September 23, 2013 (UTC)

Don't worry that was the last time, I just felt like I had to put in something about bringing Virginia and Zan together.--Zeromaro (talk) 23:29, September 23, 2013 (UTC)

Collaborative Writing Project
Hello! Please keep in mind we have a rule about keeping additions to the story to 6 sentences maximum. This includes dialogue :) Grace (profile)•(talk) 16:20, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

ABOUT
About your recent post on a tale of Zan, I know you were just trying to fix what Forrest dragon slayer wrote about Ryunosuke name but your solution is a bit risky. Don't worry, im not here to pout and moan, bit i think your proposition on time being non-linear and re-writable is dangerous. Because of it, anything that someone writes becomes inconsequential and that means that things that happened in the past won't necessarily happen again, meaning all posts are useless. If someone wrote a future event, and people write around this event, they don't have to come back to it, meaning that all prior posts are invalid. I know this is a team effort, and your welcome to do what you want, but I feel your idea of time really mess up the timeline. You can explane that Ryunosuke only uses his real name with close friends, and that Zan is a formal name, to fix the Dragon slayer problem, ect.

sorry to bitch about your writing, but i have a bad feeling about this. No offence, and great work so far (espically with the Ryunosuke going back to meet oda contrbutions).



I don't think the whole non-linear thing makes previous posts become irrelevant, it's part of the alternate timelines theory that was used in stories like Bioshock Infinite. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear about the whole thing, but with the alternate timelines here none of the previous posts are irrelevant. Characters from different timelines are just traveling back and forth through places, a character's timeline isn't exactly re-written just given a different path.

Zan for example, lost his memories because of an event that did not happen because of people tampering with time and when he was Ryunosuke and no "Slayed Dragon" appeared (Which by the way was supposed to reference Ryunosuke (Ryu means Dragon) becoming Zan (which means slash), or least that's what I thought of when I put in the title, the robot was good too). Plus Virginia never appeared in front of him.

Which brings me to where the character still known as Ryunosuke is now, even though Virginia tried to make sure Ryunosuke became Zan, because of other parties tampering with the timeline like that armored person and Mar-something leads to Ryunosuke becoming someone who's not Zan.

This is a headache to get around, but no one said the time travel concept was easy.--Zeromaro (talk) 20:42, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough, I think this works now. Thanks for taking the time to explain your idea (now I can see why you put it, and i like the idea), and sorry if i seemed pushy before, I just wanted to solidify the direction this story was taking, thats all. And again, sorry if I seemed skeptical, I just tend to think of time travel stories in a different manner. Thanks and I can't wait to hear more.

Amyar (talk)

Sorry, I hate to bother you but do you know whats going on with the star of the heavens? I'm confused as to whether it's a fallen angle, a gem or a mix? Thanks.

Amyar (talk)

I heard someone say it was some kind of gem. I wanted to put in that the accumulated star of heavens was Mar'riana's glowing angler.--Zeromaro (talk) 22:08, September 27, 2013 (UTC)

Zeromaro, the star is Virginia. It has always been Virginia (At least that's how I introduced the concept). The idea was that she was this infant princess of the sun goddess who was snatched by agents of MAr'riana, brought down to earth and given human form as Virginia, who once fully grown would be sacrificed to Mar'riana who needed a child of both heaven and earth to bring down heaven and earth. I know someone else added that the star was a gem, but I was going to write it that as a different star. Besides why would they be after the star (Virginia) if it's already in MAr'riana (at least his stone form)? (Anonymius (talk) 11:04, September 28, 2013 (UTC))

Also I'm not a big fan of alternate timelines. The way I understood it, Ryuunosuke IS Zan's past self, and later on he is going to become Zan (And lose his memory again), which is why Zan couldn't kill Ryuunosuke without risking the fabric of space and time by creating a paradox. I thought the same for Virginia, that young virginia was still going to become the older Virginia. however I think Chataway becoming a monster has somewhat created a paradox there. (Anonymius (talk) 14:34, September 28, 2013 (UTC))

Not my fault that people's ideas clash with each other and get in the way of individual users' plan of events. That's been happening ever since this collaboration project started like Red Bat villain 'Arborius' and the whole crazy concepts of villains and whatnot in TAO. Earlier I was going to have Ryunosuke become Zan after losing his memories in that fight against that robot, but Forest Dragon Slayer gave Ryunosuke his memories back and I had to change plotlines.

But just to make some sense let's say that the star were shards of the original gem and were showered throughout multiple timelines; a few of them ended up in the different versions of Virginia. The older Virginia lost her shards when she was brought back to her time, but the younger one didn't. The glowing bit on the demon fish would represent the collected pieces he already managed to get. Plus it doesn't really make much sense how a Caucasian girl would be the child of an East Asian goddess (don't say divine powers, that would make even less sense). In a way Chataway has created a paradox (he was supposed to be the main villain afterall) by becoming a monster, and beating him would restore timelines. A lot of events have been sent into motion and they can't be stopped now.--Zeromaro (talk) 15:15, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, first of all, when responding to someone please do it on that person's page so that they know you're replying to them, or if it's to do with the further development of the story, on the talk page before you introduce that idea so that people can share their opinion. Secondly, yes, she's the daughter of an east asian goddess but in the body of a caucasian female. Thirdly, Ryuunosuke still could have lost his memory again later due to the flow of time (I know it sounds ridiculous with all this going back and forwards, but it's an idea that would have maintained some sort of unity), and yes, I know it's frustrating how people keep contradicting or ignoring details from other posts and I've tried my best to bear it all in mind and make a consistent story, but you know what? There have been times I just wanted to resolve it by revealing that the timeline had been shattered at some point and there are numerous timelines and Zan's been jumping through each of them every minute or so like that episode of star trek the next generation so tell you what? The moment I get completely fed up or there are major inconsistencies I can't explain I'll just reveal that in an entry. (Anonymius (talk) 19:15, September 28, 2013 (UTC))

Quick Pointer
The agent of Mar'riana who reported to the hooded man is a she.

Hey Zenomaro, just to let you know, your last entry sounded too much like an ending and it feels sort of weird not having Ryuunosuke and younger Virginia go with them. Forest Dragon Slayer (talk) 21:21, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

I thought the Chataway that came to take young Virgina away WAS the father of young Virginia?
