So Epilogue Part 7 is now up, and that means FireRed: Hard-Mode is finally, completely finished.

...it feels weird to write that, maybe because I was always half convinced I would never get it done. It couldn't have happened at a better time either, because class starts up for me on Monday and I might be in the middle of changing my major... again.

But there's no rest for the wicked, I'll probably be getting to work on season 3 almost immediately, though you won't see anything for a while. I'm hoping to stockpile enough comics to avoid my usual update (or lack thereof) schedule.

The good news is the fan comics section should be complete soon, I'd say it'll be another week at the latest. I think you guys are going to like it.

Anyway it's the middle of the night and my house is goddamn freezing, I'm sure I'll have more to say when the fan comics section is complete.

See you in season 3,
Nuzlocke

Ugh, so yeah, I'm late. I was really hoping I could keep a schedule for longer than two weeks, but so far that seems to be the magic number for when I fuck up. FUCKING NEW YEARS. I really tried to finish it before the end of the 1st, but unfortunately I was about 3 hours late even in my time zone.

But anyway, Epilogue Part 6 is now up. I'm not really sure how I feel about this one, I feel like it's maybe the most uninspired of the entire Epilogue. Probably because while I'd sort of been planning most of the Epilogue out in my head for a long time now, this one was kind of thrown in at the last minute. (Also part of why this one was a tad late, I recently rewrote the ending to the epilogue because I wasn't happy with my old outline. BUT ENOUGH EXCUSES.)

Epilogue Part 7 will be the end of the epilogue, and it's going to be just a wee bit longer than the other parts, so hopefully I can get it out on time. After that we may be seeing a bit of a hiatus I'm sad to say. Pokemon: Hard-Mode isn't ending, there's going to be one more season, but it won't start up immediately after the FireRed epilogue wraps up. This is because I'm completely fed up with my inability to maintain a convenient regular update schedule, and I refuse to start uploading new comics until I'm sure I can handle my shit.

So yeah, it's not necessarily a break for me, but more like a break for the site. I'll be starting on the 3rd season almost immediately after the epilogue ends, but I won't be posting any of the updates until I've amassed enough comics to give myself a bit of leeway, because goddamn, I need it.

Hopefully the fan comics section will be ready soon, so that there will at least be new content coming to the site in between seasons.

Anyway, I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting because it's the middle of the night and I'm dying of what could be allergies or sickness (who can tell anymore?) but I'll see yall later.

Peace,
Nuzlocke

As my Christmas present to you all, Epilogue Part 5 is uploaded! Which I was going to do anyway!....

...Yeah it's not the best gift. I wanted to get some kind of bonus image ready but somehow Christmas snuck up on me. I was actually still gift shopping yesterday. It's been kind of a busy month for me.

And man, I'm tired. Was up late playing a game of Risk against the family (totallly won, Europe, you mah boy.) Luckily in my family we open gifts the night before because we foresee this problem.

Anyway, I'm sure most of you have better things to do on Christmas than to check out my little corner of the internet, but maybe you'll seet it tomorrow....you goddamn capitalist swine. COKE INVENTED SANTA. DEATH TO CHRISTMAS.

Yeah, you mirin' my new layout.

If this works then my new site layout if finally online, and it only took 6 months longer than I thought it would! (That's not bad, in Nuzlocke time...)

I really wanted to get this up before the finale was posted, but you know how we do at nuzlocke.com: we always fuck up.

First of all, I'd like to give a big "FUCK YOU" to 110mb hosting, who caused this whole process to take months longer than it should have. Please, never give them your service, they delight in dicking you around for ages with no payoff. A2 hosting on the other hand, I wuv you... (For now...)

Next, I should probably talk about the fan comics. The short answer is they're not ready yet. This is because I'm trying to do something a little ambitious with the new fan comics page: I'm trying to get ALL of the fan comics from the forum onto the main site. That's A LOT of comics if you didn't know, which is why it's taking a little while. Super cool fabulous forum moderator Lyrical is on the case though, so give her your patience, for the price I'm paying her to do it it's practically slave labor.

Which brings me to my next point, everyone should probably stop using nuzlocke@hotmail.com to contact me. There isn't really a good reason for this, besides that I never, EVER check it. I wish I did, and I've tried, but I've found I just don't, it's the formspring page all over again. So if you want your fan comics on the main site, make an appropriate thread in the appropriate forum and it will eventually get thrown in with the rest. This goes for people who emailed me shit months ago that still hasn't gone up yet too, I'm sorry, but just make a thread and it will probably be up quicker than it would have if I'd gone through all the emails, and you'll probably get more exposure and feedback than you would have the regular way.

If you really need to get ahold of me, the absolute best way to do it is probably to send me a private message on the forums. I check that fairly frequently. At least bi-daily.

Another thing worth mentioning is that I don't believe there's a comment feature on the new site (though I could be wrong.) I'm sure some of you will miss this, and to some extent I will too (though I definitely won't be missing the neverending flood of basketball jersey, movie download and penis enlargement spam that has been making itself comfortable in my inbox for the past 2 years....) Everyone will just have to discuss the new comics on the forums I guess, which will probably better in the long run anyway. I think the discussion can only improve.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something to include in my super important first blog post, but whatever, I have all the posts in the world to talk about my bullshit.

I think I'll end this with a little picture you might have noticed in Epilogue Part 4. I figure some of you might like to see it in full size, as it ended up being VERY small in the actual comic. Enjoy 'The Creation of Red.'



Stay chilly, free willies.
