Back Bearing News

     So, it's been awhile. And when I say awhile... I mean awhile. I mean, the last post was in March of 2012 and look at us now, with it being almost 2014. For the longest time I had debated with myself on whether or not to continue this blog. After all, I had finally come to the conclusion that there was no way I could keep on writing this story, right? Well, I guess I was wrong. And right. Confusing I know, but I'll explain.
     You see, last night, I went on Skype. I was bored, figured I had nothing to do, and wanted to talk to friends. Okay. So I click on her name, go down to that little chat box at the bottom and begin to type. What do you know, just before I press "enter" she goes offline. Freaking dandy. Somehow, from that moment, I decided to spam her. I believe that was the best decision ever. One because when she looked at her messages, she told me, she had like 200. That was good in itself, but that's not the reason I tell this story. The fact is, Moment of Darkness has not died. Whatsoever. In fact, my brain happily threw at me so many ideas that I feel like I'm on cloud nine. Or ten. Whichever cloud is higher and better. And exists.
     When I spammed her, halfway through I decided I wanted to role-play. I figured that maybe if I left a space open for her, she might come back and join me eventually. I prayed she would come back, but she never did. And for that, it was like she just gave me a house, a luxurious car, and twenty-four puppies all at once along with a thousand dollars. Somehow I spent hours talking to myself, and role-playing with myself, until eventually it turned into a story.
     It turned into Moment of Darkness.
     With a twist, of course.
     You see, all that you have been reading, was me trying to re-create a past role-play that I was a part of with several other people. Keith and Lucy weren't even my characters. Silas didn't even exist, and when something like him came to be, his name was Zachary and wasn't part of the story until very much later. This role-play was the best one I have ever been a part of, and I've missed it for a very long time. What disappoints me to no end is that even the forum, the original thread it was created on, was deleted by admins for being "too violent." What did they expect? For God's sake, there were zombies running around everywhere. Why the heck did they let it last for almost 500 pages?
     So all of this was my desire. And now I've come to the conclusion. There is no re-creating the past. The past has come and gone, and there is no way to re-make it because of how it was pieced together originally. The beginning characters, Aerith, Ophelia, Lucy, Keith, Savannah, and whatever the name of the first thread creator's was. Later on there was Sasha, and others. They came and went and they tied all of the story together to make it the best plot-lines ever created. There is no way I can rewrite it all together, because in doing so, that would be me trying to remember ever single character that had existed, and making creative ways for them to disappear, because nobody can role-play all day every day.
     And so, while I miss it, what I have now for Moment of Darkness is something that I'll actually enjoy writing all the much more. Lucy (Lucretia) will make her appearance, Keith will (possibly) come into play, and most definitely will Savannah and the three original evils re-appear. They were the ones who made the entire story. Lucy, Aerith, and Sasha. There are no promises on the reappearance of Silas or Gwen, nor will it start in any old school. In fact, when I wrote this while talking to my friend, I have decided to keep it as it is. As I wrote it to her. And in my brilliant moment of boredom, somehow I will be a character in my own story.
     I know, it's as weird as it is for you as it is for me. Because I used to always be who I was through Savannah. In fact, she became my alter-ego, right down to my Skype-name. But that will make the story all the more interesting to write, and for whoever in the world shall find this, for you all to read.


Let Moment of Darkness be reborn.
And let me say, this is going to be one heck of a ride.

  1. For the record, all of the previous chapters that I wrote before the point of this blog now will be deleted, so if you want to read what my insanity pressed-for-imagination brain had to say back then, by all means go for it, but you will have to dig through this blog with all of its histories.

    1. And what I mean by that is the links on the side... Not the actual chapters.
