At long last I’ve finished the rewrite for my fanfic, The Fifth Age. There were several significant modifications from the version that is currently available to read on the forums. However, the story hasn’t been changed at all. Go ahead and start reading this great work in the fanfics section. Special thanks are in order for everyone who helped advise me during the construction of this masterpiece. So, THANK YOU EVERYONE!

In other news, the forum seems to be doing well. There seems to be a lot of general talk going around and I like that. It was just too quiet a couple months ago. Maybe summer is finally starting to come around for all of us here in the northern hemisphere.

As another side note, I’ve decided to revive the wallpaper section that has been absent for longer than I can remember. Only my works are featured there right now, but hopefully I can get some more content from other generous people. Go ahead and start working on those backgrounds! ^_^

I'd be happy to make some collages for your, or some avatars and signatures.

Alrighty. I realize that one of the things that the Aerie lacks the most is fan-based content. I'd like to change that by offering all the artists out there the opportunity to show off their work here. However, I don't think I can ever compete with Cindy over at GSR in that category.

im sorry to speak but... may i ask who cindy is?

and y u cant compete with her?

Cindy is Cinder at the GSR. Her site is one of the biggest golden sun ones, with alot of members.

Golden Sun Realm has also been around quite a bit longer than the Aerie. Cindy was able to pretty much monopolize the area of fan fiction and fan art in the Golden Sun community. Until she quits, (which I don't think is likely) she's going to keep her strangle-hold on everyone else. :}

But that's okay, because she's put a ton of work into her site to make it as good as it is. She's also helped me out on numerous occasions, as well. ^_^

And on that note, everyone go to the interactive fanfic topic. ^_^

i s he(or she) apart of the nest?

at any rate i'd like to meet this person ^_^

I believe she visited the Nest once for some reason, but has never set foot here again. I don't visit her forum either so I guess that's fair. B)

I believe she did register here. I remember it, because things like that are very important.

If Cindy did visit the Nest, she didn't register a member account. And if she did register, she used something other than Cinder. Which I find unlikely. :/

uh? can i see the link? or... r u keeping it from your members?

a wut else r u changing around?

Dammit person!!! Try typing a correct sentence for once.

GSR

y thank u "the_isaac"

and wut do u mean? type in correct sentences?

dont i? or do i think i am?

Marlin a little help here

I sent you a PM concerning this problem you have.

Anyway, back on topic. I've finally finished adapting Ikillkenny's walkthrough to what I've written for TLA. Now the Aerie finally has a complete walkthrough for both games. I've received his permission to edit it, so don't worry. Thanks, Mike.

we should have a little more than GS, sad to say but we need something that is popular now, GS might be popular later on but not now, I say Fire Emblem or FF since most are familiar with them.

Um.... as I know you have noticed (because you posted in it), there IS a Fire Emblem section. Marlin said elsewhere, however, that he isn't going to add a Final Fantasy section. I think. Well, some people were expressing negative opinions on the idea anyway.

Yes I know Canti, I'm not a newbie :P but I mean sponsor Fire Emblem just like we have with GS

I know you're not a noobie. But... we are sponsoring Fire Emblem. There's a section, a walkthrough in the works. Same stuff as Golden Sun.

blargh! nevermind XD I'll try to explain it later when my thoughts have been organized *starts to organize thoughts*

Yeah, I am definitely opposed to adding FF. It would be better to have as few games as possible, with more content for those games, than to have a little bit on a ton of different games.

True but FE should be one of the more concentrated games here too, which it somewhat is.

Yeah, Final Fantasy hasn't had any new releases in a long while, either (and no wildly popular ones since GS came out). I definitely think FF is not the way to go in order to get new content started. I have several people who promised to work on a FE walkthrough, so we'll see how that goes. Other than that, I'm proud to say that I've at least finished another section of TLA. B)

That's good... but we need something more... eh... can't think of what...

are we going to include a tales of symphonia section?

everyone here has played it but me, and ill have it......eventually :/

We have a small Tales section for now. Lets see how that works out. B)

yes i saw that after i posted, ill probable post there a lot when i get the game :)

I'm sure you'll like it, almost like GS except for the battle system...

Not to mention it's way longer.

well, everyone i know who has played it said only good things about it, so i look forward to owning it, im going to get RE4 along with it as well, im trading in 8 games

Tao Fengx2 xbox
Budokai gamecube
Budokai playstation
Godzilla DAMM GCN
Tony Hawk Undergroun xbox
Project Gotham Racing xbox
Tenchu xbox

That's only seven...

no its eight, you didnt see that im trading in two tao fengs
go look again

Ah, I see now. You have two copies of the same game? :wah?:

actually, the only game out of all of those that i own is Godzilla, all of the others belong to my friends Caleb and James, they gave me the games to trade in as well as 5 bucks each, ill pay whatevers left and in return they get borrowing rights for ToS and RE4 (inbox)

All right. This news has run its course. Thanks everyone! B)
