HE SPEAKS!? . . . No.

Hey guys, back again. Computer is still down, so I can only update after school. I have a busy week this time around though, which forces me to stay after school most days, and I have a half hour to type, so I'm going to be able to make this post a little longer than most.
Let me say, for the record, that I've been noticing a reoccuring theme in Nintendo's video games. First of all, let's start back at the origins. Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid. . . and good ole' Super Mario. They all either started on the Nintendo Entertainment System, or the Gameboy (Metroid's first game was on the Gameboy, so they tell me, I don't play that series). They all started off as the little 8-bit to 16-bit adventure games, where you had to save a princess from a villain, or save a planet from alien invasion. . .
But the one I find that's lacking the most advancement is The Legend of Zelda.
Super Mario has advanced into games like Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart, and possibly the best one of them and most advanced of them all, Super Mario Galaxy. But notice one thing: the graphics have increased exponentionally, and Mario even talks from time to time.
Same goes for Metroid. Samus Aran talks more than ever now, and the graphics have become so awesome that you'd think the game was made by Square Enix at first glance.
But poor, poor Legend of Zelda, has to get lost in the dust. The graphics have gotten better, I'll admit that. But they're still. . . lacking, compared to the other Nintendo games. And for God's sakes, Link still doesn't talk! The most he'll say is the odd "Aah!!" and "Drphth!!". Legend of Zelda was one of the starting points for Nintendo, so I feel Link deserves a bit more in return.
Back in the Nintendo Power issue for Skyward Sword, an interview was written in the article with Eiji Aonuma, one of the producers of Zelda. Nintendo Power asked him if they would ever give Link the opportunity to talk, and he said that he'd rather keep Link silent due to the fact that he's been silent all the time up to this point.
Dang.
I hope Eiji Aonuma is ready for Time Gate. There's no way Link is going to be silent in that.
Okay, see you later guys. Have to finish up my post for my Slender Man blog.

M, a friend. (I apologize. . .)

Hey guys. Not much Time Gate stuff today.
I want to take the time to mourn over the possible death of one of the most famous Slender Man runners in human history.
The one that taught us all the rules.
The one that realized everyone else's mistakes.
The one that possibly lasted the longest.
M.
I'm not saying he's dead. He may be dead, he may not be.
But right now, I'm getting worried.
I posted a comment to his blog a little while ago (you guys know it as The Tutorial, a.k.a, http://www.getuphigh.blogspot.com/), but he hasn't replied. He hasn't even written back to the email I sent him about a month ago.
But I could just be getting paranoid.
Because when you're running from a man with no face, it's hard to get your hands on a computer.
Alright, back to Time Gate.
Now that I'm on the conversation of Slender Man, I'd like to talk about a little demon I created in Time Gate called "The Kyodai no Akuma." Not just Kyodai, but all the demons I've got created in this story.
Dex. (also known as, Dark Link).
The Deity. (Fierce Deity, from MM).
Kyodai no Akuma (Japanese for The Monstrous Demon)
Shiretsuna no Akuma (Japanese for The Fierce Demon)
Sairento no Akuma (Japanese for The Silent Demon)
I have an evergrowing obession with demons, but the one I'm proud of the most is the Kyodai no Akuma. Back when I was. . . even more paranoid of the Slender Man than I am now, I created a demon for Time Gate called the Kyodai no Akuma. He wears a tuxedo. But the difference between him and the Slender Man is that he actually has a face; dark black, demonic eyes, long black hair, and of course, fangs that are the length of your arm from your elbow up to your shoulder. This creature is even worse than the Slender Man to some of my friends.
But not to me.
Kyodai is my own creation. I shall not fear something that I created in my own head. That would just be foolish knowledge.
Slender Man is something that I fear. I will always fear it. And I will always fear the worst for the runners that have to deal with him (possibly myself in a short while.).
So that's it for today. I haven't gotten my computer fixed, but a fellow wannabe-runner of mine may be able to get it fixed for me (Mr. Computer Genius. . .). I'm going to keep posting at school with the little time I have, and hope that I can get my own computer back ASAP.
Until then, good luck to the runners, and have a sweet afterlife to those that have already passed. I hope to get back onto the subject of Time Gate soon. I may just make a second blog for Slender Man later, if my sanity will allow for it.

Entry #2: Holy Crap, Totally Forgot Mr. Link.

Haha, sorry guys, forgot to put up the link to my fanfiction (not that it really matters, no one has viewed my blog yet :P).
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5713401/1/The_bLegend_b_of_bZelda_b_bTime_b_bGate_b
As for today, I have to make it brief because I only have fifteen minutes to type. I might as well put a little story up about myself.
So, let it begin. . .
My name is Uzuki Cheverie. My real name is not actually Uzuki, but a nickname I came up with in the seventh grade. Back in seventh grade, I felt the need to stick out more than the rest of the human beings at our school (and I still feel like that). So I came up with a nickname for both me and my best friend.
Are any of you people out there familiar with The World Ends With You?
It was a video game released for the Nintendo DS quite a while ago. It got game of the year for the DS that year (it was made by the creators of Final Fantasy, so it was obviously a good game). So there was this character in the story, a Reaper named Uzuki Yashiro. She was one of my favorite characters, so I took the name Uzuki for me, and I named my best friend Yashiro.
Shortly after, in eighth grade, when I started to write my fanfiction, I came up with Uzuki Kasahara and Yashiro Takahashi, best friend Reapers that are now one of the many main characters of Time Gate.
So that's basically how I came up with the name. I use Uzuki now way more often than I used to, using it for signatures and pennames on various websites. And because of this, there are also quite a few characters in the story that are based off real-life people (my brothers, Yashiro's brothers, our best friends from school, etc.).
So there you go, today's story. Hope I didn't bore you. I gotta start coming up with some better content. Maybe I can get chased down by Slender Man.
No.
No, I don't want that.
Needless to say, I am also a person who researches Slender Man.
Now that I have put that up, I'm starting to feel that if I keep mentioning him here, I'll end up as a runner. . .
See you later, forum.
Stay safe, runners.

Entry #1: Don't Know Why I'm Doing This, But in the End I Have No Choice. . .

Hey guys,
My name is Uzuki.
Or Uzuki Kasahara.
Or Uzuki Cheverie.
Or whatever you want to call me. Anyways, with the "Cheverie" added at the end, some of you may actually recognize me as the author of the fanfiction, "The Legend of Zelda: Time Gate", and the sequel "Time Gate: The Adult Chapters".
You probably haven't read it though.
I'm a little too full of myself when it comes to this fanfiction.
But don't get me wrong, I want it to go far. I don't know why I'm starting this blog in the first place, but maybe it's just so I can start Time Gate's rise to. . . not fame. No, not fame. That's not the right word for it. But I do want to be known for Time Gate and the characters in Time Gate, along with the story and the artwork accompanied with it, all done by me.
Time Gate is basically half of my life.
The other half. . . composed of school, and anything else that a female human being holds onto in their life at fourteen years of age.
But I want to go far with Time Gate. I want it to make it to the top.
An impossible dream perhaps. . .?
Who knows.
My name is Uzuki Cheverie.
And I'm the author of Time Gate, from FanFiction.Net.
My dream. . .
. . . is to create the best Legend of Zelda video game that this world has ever seen.
Yep, I'm a nerd. An obsessive nerd who is assumed to have no life at all. But that's not true. I'm also an artist; both creatively and artistically. With these skills, I promise to myself and everyone that's helped me in my human life that I will make Time Gate a reality. This is my goal in life. This is the adventure that I've put myself on.
What's the meaning of this blog exactly?
Is it to rant about how I'm going to make Time Gate, not allowing anyone to get in my way and stop me?
. . . So far, yes. Something may happen though. Who knows.
I'm crazy. Crazy people don't have a set path. We always have to do things the hard way. We take the winding, longest path, not the straight shortcut.
Alright, enough of that.
Starting with explanation of this blog.
I will probably give you links to get to my story on FanFiction.Net, in case you want to read it. Unfortunately, due to the fact that my computer is broken, I won't be updating chapters or blog posts very often. In fact, I'm at my friend's place right now as I type this. I may be able to update at school though, if this site works.
Other than the fanfiction, I also submit drawings on RateMyDrawings and sometimes DeviantArt (mostly RMD). They are mostly Time Gate drawings as well. Like I said, Time Gate is half my life at this point.
As for Time Gate, I guess I should explain a little bit about it.
Time Gate was a fanfiction that I thought up when I was 11-12-13 years old. Last year, exactly a month before my 14th birthday, on Groundhog Day (Feb. 2nd, 2010), I started submitting my Time Gate fanfiction to FanFiction.Net, a website that offers a wide range of choices for writing fanfictions.
Due to my lifelong obsession with Legend of Zelda, I started writing a fanfiction, a fanfiction that I had been working on since age 11. I started taking it seriously when I found the site through a link on a deviantart Zelda drawing based off another person's fanfiction. So on Feb. 2nd, I seriously started my fanfiction, today is approximately 2 days before Time Gate was first started.
January 31st, 2011. Because I have no computer, I'm also starting this blog to celebrate Time Gate's birthday (because when I lost my computer, I lost the file for the new chapter 9 for Adult Chapters).
So Time Gate is a year old now, and it's still not finished. In fact, I'm currently working on the second book, The Adult Chapters. The basic story of Time Gate is split into two parts: The Child Chapters and The Adult Chapters.
The meaning is pretty straightforward in itself.
The Child Chapters is the first book, revolving around Young Link and his life after Majora`s Mask. You can probably guess why it was Majora`s Mask. A lot of people, including me, are a little mad that Shigeru Miyamoto-san didn`t exactly finish the story. Of course, not just Miyamoto, but Eiji Aonuma as well. I just hope that by the time I create Time Gate, a sequel hasn`t already been created (although I highly doubt it).
Then The Adult Chapters revolves around Link`s continuing story as an 18-year old. Although the difference is that this time he didn`t fly through time like in OoT; he`s actually aged naturally through time.
However, there are quite a few books that follow Time Gate, both prequels and sequels.
The only prequel of the story so far is:
Reaper.
I can`t explain what this story is about because you have to read Time Gate. I will probably explain Reaper later on in this blog, but it will be a very vague and brief description so that I don`t confuse anyone.
Time Gate actually has two endings believe it or not: the typical Final Fantasy `good`ending `bad`ending thing. The good ending of Time Gate leads to The Legend of Zelda: Generation of the Fairies, which takes place about 16-17 years after Time Gate.
Then the bad ending leads to The Legend of Zelda: Fall of the Fairies, which is actually a trilogy of three. Fall of the Fairies, Chapter of the Aeons, and Rise of the Demons.
Okay, this is enough information for today. I really really don`t want overwhelm anyone with too much information right now. I`ll give a little `story` in each blog (hopefully, if things go well) relating to Time Gate and its creation. Hopefully I don`t bore you all to death.
