And so Uprising has come to a close; I now reveal my plans

Long ago, Uprising was on Gamefaqs. I saved as many of the posts as I could and brought them here, because I dreamed of making it into a game. And now that Uprising is finished, I will go through and save all of the posts once again. I want more than just about anything to do something with the story of Uprising, our creation. I have been playing tons of rpgs lately, mostly things like Dragon Age and Mass Effect. We have enough story inside Uprising to make a series, and I will do what ever I can to see it happen. Even if it has to be a small flash series.

What I plan to do is regain all of the surviving Uprising posts, and rewrite them. Some things I am going to change are the Fire Emblem parts, since we can't really do that legally. Along with that I am going to try to fix the plot holes and cut out certain characters like Gamma, as well as add certain characters in, like maybe have Lanner and the DM actually do things and have Gil show up sooner. Maybe even take out a few of my characters cliches and such. (I am also going to change Fahey's name because I don't want a character to have my name, I am not a kid anymore)

I'd mostly like it to take on some kind of Fire Emblem/Dragon age thing, have alternate scenes and romances and such. Naturally there is no way I could go without crediting all of you. we could also add side stories on, like dragon age. Maybe even have some of virus' amazing untold tales, or some of Byrgg's works which I sadly haven't looked at yet. I would love it if we could have a sort of GoG reunion to work it out, but if not then I still at least want to see how far I can take this

I plan to contribute to this somehow. I don't think anyone on GoG (or the planet) has as much free time as I do, and a chance flex my writing muscles can be hard to pass up, so it'd be odd of me not to.

cheese and I had some pretty serious plans for post Uprising. I'm not sure how on board he is with those now, but the plans have always hung around my mind (I regularly think up how Gil would function as a boss in RuneScape, because that's just how I roll) and everything we discussed can be dug out of old PM's. Should we attempt to work in these plans as an additional 1-2 stories to add to Uprising?

I'll have to read through the old PMs, but I do recall really liking what we came up with. I have a fair amount of free time now as well, and anything that gets me away from the YGO wiki for a little bit is probably a good thing.
Thanks for the banner, silverdrop!

I'm willing to contribute in any way I can! ...Though I do drop off the radar from time to time as I drown under a sea of college homework.

I've always kind of wanted to go back and fix Ryan's character. He goes through way too many flips between jolly-mode and rage-mode. In retrospect he should probably have been jolly-with-serious-underneath, instead of my making him carefree when I wanted him to be comic relief and then giving him a serious phase every so often to add drama, only to inevitably switch him back to carefree. >_>

I can scientifically prove that boredom can kill you. However, by the time I figure out how to prove it, I'd have already died of boredom.

With everyone else's permission, I'd like to make Google Docs files for this. Those who have read the updated versions of my story will recognize it as being properly formatted. I can use my account and simply make the Uprising files open to everyone. It gives everyone access to a very clean and simple version of it, and I can start it up really any time.

Here's an example of what it looks like (ItS prologue): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kHbY6ep6m2xYLMd5hAHlHtx-iUQ1ZDWRlDcFigTOQhU/edit?authkey=CNex3pQI&hl=en&pli=1#

That one is restricted so only I can edit it, but I can change the settings to make it editable by everyone.

I know that I wasn't a part of Uprising at all, but I definitely want to see want you guys can turn this into. I don't know if I would be able to help in anyway, but if you guys need anything let me know!

I've created an Uprising collection (basically a folder) on my Google Docs account, but there's no files in it. A collection can't be shared by link—I need to have Google account names for that, but individual files (I assume we'll do one for each chapter) can be set to be accessed and edited by anyone with the link. If anyone's still around, I suppose we could get started, and I can always bug a fair number of you on Facebook anyway.

Also, for a bit of a side project (though I guess it could be included in the final project somehow), I'm planning on making sprites and maybe full color drawings of all the Uprising characters (realistic, I refuse to draw anime), so I'd appreciate any physical descriptions.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, though my summer is about to get... busier. It turns out that the internship I signed up for has rather more hours in it then I expected. >_>

I think I actually need to brush through the old Uprising files to figure out what my character look like. >_> I can't remember what I originally decided, and my characters have changed somewhat since I envisioned them as I got used to them and realized that having Ryan be tall was a terrible idea.

Wow, I haven't checked in here in over a month.

If anyone has anything planned, I would like to be involved.
