User blog:TheSlicer/Restructuring the GMS

The Gigas Magna Storyline is a subject I've long been concerned with. I've worked on expanding its universe (or multiverse, as it was originally conceived) for going on two years, making many friends on this website in the process. Therefore, to me, the day that I announce the discontinuation of my portion of the Gigas Magna Storyline (which, when one factors in the inactivity of Biogecko and Teammcb and the departure of ToaFairon from the project) is a sad one, especially when one considers the many, many hours of effort I and others have put into the conception and implementation of our writing and creations. However, I feel that the time has come to move on from there.

Don't get me wrong; the storyline is a project I enjoyed, and, I imagine, would have continued to enjoy for some time more were it not for a number of issues, which I will address momentarily. Among these is the fact that, despite my efforts to fix it, the GMS is fundamentally flawed for a number of reasons, which I will address here. Also among these is the fact that I'm moving on in my life, and no longer have all the time and interest that I used to. That does by no means indicate that I no longer have time, nor does it indicate that I no longer have an interest in projects like this--now that I am no longer working on the story, I am considering reviving my old stop-motion project, The Last Barraki--but rather that I have less interest in grandiose, impractical endeavors such as this one, especially considering that the GMS as I conceived it could never have worked.

In the following sections is a list of reasons that the story couldn't have worked, which I have written so other people will not follow in my mistakes, as well as a full, all-inclusive summary of the plans I had for the saga. This will be divided into several separate sections, each concerning a different story or project. (The stories from Tales of the Bounty Hunters will not be included here, as they generally do not follow the main plot, and I don't yet know whether any of you will be interested in continuing the projects you signed up for.) These are shortened versions of the chapter-by-chapter summaries I had prepared, but they are still going to be very long, so please be advised. Note that as I am still on vacation and do not have access to the original manuscripts, the synopses will not be posted until I return, though I did inform some people on the IRC chat of some of the details of my plan, so you may ask them if you wish to know about them beforehand.

Finally, I will also tell you of my plans for the future regarding this wiki, and what I will expect from you all in the days to come. (Sorry that this blog is unfinished; I'll try to get to continuing it in the days ahead.)
