Update & More! - May 09, 2008: 5:40 am |
Well,
it's been a while since we last had an update in Kuro Arashi,
but after four long months, we're back in print, er, text,
again! This time, we have an authors note from Chris
Ganale himself.
Chris Ganale: Alright guys, it's
your friendly neighborhood Chris Ganale, fresh from the
battlefields of Si Shui Gate with multiple victories over
Orochi's army, but sadly, no fourth weapons of Masamune Date,
Xiao Qiao, and Yukimura Sanada to show for my troubles. Yeah,
I've been playing too much Warriors Orochi lately. But! I
digress! It has been five friggen months since an update, and
that's way too long. Sadly, that's just the way the game as
played. The reason for this is that Kuro Arashi itself
has become a collaborative effort now. If you've noticed a
slight change in tone/writing style from one character to the
next, you're not going crazy. One of the new features of the new
Kuro is that it's largely become the story of an RP now, with a
handful of players (I like to call them 'actors') playing the
parts of certain characters. And because of that, it's up to
each and every one of us to keep things flowing, which kinda
didn't happen for about a month and a half there around March.
And yes, for some of you devious people out there, that means
there IS an opportunity for you to get involved in the
production of Kuro Arashi. While we're not accepting any
more Chosen Hero original characters, we're looking to fill
friggen every canon character from Love Hina and Negima,
except, of course, Setsuna and Konoka.
Now that advertisements are over, on to
storyline. As you can tell, we're diving headfirst into
Mahorafest. No, we are NOT going to spend like fifty chapters on
the first two days. That crap was boring as hell, and everybody
knows that we want to get to Mages vs. Mars. Speaking of Mages
vs. Mars, this goes back to the above "Hey, you can get in
here too" statement, but I'm in the market for any
characters to make cameo appearances during the event. Some of
the cameo characters may go on to take part in larger storylines
much later down the road, some may not. It's a crapshoot.
Anyway, back to the point. Kuro Arashi's Mahorafest runs
concurrent to the same event in Negima, and we're going
to try to stick to canon as much as we can. And I'll try to give
play-by-play for things that may conflict with what you read in
the manga, such as Setsuna's kendo performance. For this, we'll
suffice to say that Negi took a lot longer to wear out and go
take a nap in the nurse's office, and now Setsuna will already
be there, and join him in his time travel antics that way.
Well, that's all for this chapter. Get
yourselves psyched up guys, we've got more character interaction
ahead, and in ten chapters or less, the epic event that is Mages
vs. Mars!
For now, we're
eagerly awaiting the next chapter of Kuro Arashi.
Stay tuned, folks!

Update - January 25, 2008: 1:15 pm |
| Holy
smokes, folks. After months and months, we finally have a
little bit of an update! Chapter 16 has hit the pages, and
after a rather nasty review from a reader, we have a good solid
kick in the pants to deliver.
The author who
originally created the altered version of Namusan Sampou has
come back claiming that our esteemed author, Mr. Ganale, does
not have permission to use him, and is claiming that Ganale is
guilty of the dreaded CI, or Copyright Infringement trap.
We're denying that with great venom. Why? It's
impossible to copyright something you didn't originally create,
even if you used an edited version. As the original
Namusan comes from the Love Hina manga, we here at Kuro
Arashi feel no guilt for his use. In short? Keep
reading, and hopefully there won't be too long a wait before we
get to Chapter 17 of Kuro Arashi!

Update - August 16, 2007: 6:00 pm |
| We've
just added Chapter 15 to the mix. The soundtrack will be
forthcoming once the author gets his computer back under
control. Updates will be sporadic because of the computer
issues, but we're hoping they'll come with more frequency.
Our latest author's note reads as thus.
A/N: There was
quite a delay in getting this one out to the public, but this
chapter consisted of little but establishing strong ties between
Love Hina and Negima, and laying out some villain
backstory, so it was a chore to work on at times. Add on to the
fact that I picked up an XBox 360 and a bajillion games for it
about halfway through this chapter, so I got distracted.
Besides, I had figured the string of quick uploads for the last
four before this were more luck than anything else. Updates
should come about once a month now under normal circumstances,
give or take.
