[shadow=darkblue,center,300]ANOTHER new series? Forgive me if I sound a bit skeptical, but you seem to have enough trouble maintaining the ones you already have. [/shadow]

Agreed. I know I've had troubles with maintaining the site, but the plan now is to get SUPER ahead on my site. It's spring break now, so I'm going to be writing a whoooole lot. Also, recently the problems have mostly been with my hard drive. Since I wiped the old one and got this new one, I basically got a new computer, so there've been problems like getting the thing going, finding my Microsoft Office cd so I can actually WORK on stuff...
Also, the new series isn't going to START right away. I'll just be announcing the concept pretty soon. I plan to build up a few entries before I even start on the thing. And the new series isn't exactly going to be the same as BS or AFFR. It won't be as demanding as far as writing quanity nor require as much planning out. But trust me, it'll work out. And if I can't work it out, I'll just put it on the backburner. It's all good.

Now I'm curious. Different than BS and AFFR? How? Is it going to be shorter? Fewer episodes? Written by a trained chimp? What does it all MEAN?!
I bet you won't tell me yet.

If ONLY I could get a trained chimp to write this! Hell, an untrained chimp would be fine even! Hrm... Well you're very right that I won't tell you but I will say that yes, it'll be shorter. I just hope I can pull it off right. Now here's your private little hint about it, which'll tell you absolutely nothing about anything: It'll be based on one of my lesser favorite FFs --Final Fantasy VIII. (side note: lesser does not mean I DON'T like it, I just like other ones more)

I dunno about Squall Online. It might have potential, but it's a little early to tell. I need to see more before I make up my mind. Are we going to see Squall's replies to these e-mails or is this just his inbox? Keep updating!

Heh. I dunno about it either, but I'm just trying it out. It's something new. Besides, like you said, if I tried much more than this, I would end up screwing the whole site over. But I'm giving it time.
I like that it's an original approach to telling a story. It'll be a way of kinda saying what the whole world is doing, yet not showing it. Just recapping. Anyway, we'll see if it works. If it doesn't, I'll just let it fizzle. Either way, it doesn't take long to write one up, so it doesn't cut into my other stuff, which is always a good thing. We will give it time.
As far as replies, I don't think Squall will be replying to them, for two reasons. The first is that this is his inbox, so I won't bother using his replies. The second reason is well.... Squall doesn't strike me as a 'reply to e-mail' type of guy... I think he'd read 'em, then leave 'em.... no, I take that back. I'm not even sure if he reads them.... *shrug*
Anyway, here's to hoping the series (it's not really a series... we need a better word for it...) does okay. Trying something new, we'll see how it goes...

Maybe we can call it "The Squall Online Experiment" or maybe "Goatbob's new writing project concerning the fates of the main characters from FF8 after Ultimecia is destroyed" or maybe "That thing, you know, that Goatbob is writing, with Squall and the e-mail stuff...".

Hrm.... I like all those! Man.... I'm tempted to make it officially The Squall Online Experiment... that's pretty cool...
