What the Anthroverse is About - Questions Also Encouraged
8 years ago
Just to give everyone a rundown of what my series of stories is about, allow me to summarize it:
• It's a labor of love, one I've wanted to do for several years now. It came to an abrupt end when...things happened. But perhaps in hindsight, it was a blessing in disguise. Because now, I got to start over from scratch, plan things more effectively, get in the characters I want, and use my previous experience to set the storylines up better, among other things. Which leads to...
• Me and Mimic both collaborate pretty evenly on the Mnemosyne "Third" Era, while I myself mainly handle the First and Second Era. And so far, despite a bump in the road here and there, me and him are working together really well. I'm learning more and more as I go along and I understand that there will sometimes be compromises that must be made to get past certain points. But thus far, it's all coming together slowly, but surely.
• The Anthroverse is a mix of action, adventure, drama, some comedy (though it's not exactly my strong suit), adult content (a.k.a. sex), muscle growth, romance and love (both female & male), mystery, and above all, fun!
• The First and Second Era will focus on all the things I've wanted to do, but never finished before or got around to. This means Rinji will be the ninja I wanted him to be, there will be a single character with the Byakugan and one with the Rinnegan. Expect an ongoing storyline that branches out in different directions along the way, but will ultimately converge back onto a single path again. And I'll be working with a group of up to four or five characters traveling together, each having their own story (episode) of focus.
• The Third Era will see Rinji gradually veering away from his life as a ninja and into a different kind of life entirely. What happens down the road at that point is uncertain.
• Pachua WILL return! But I'm making some changes to her character, including how muscular and strong she is, her backstory and her origins. But she will be reintroduced in the First Era.
• Speaking of eras, each era will consist of a few seasons, which are in turn composed of a set number of stories. For the First and Second Era, each story will be treated as episodic, a series that builds upon the story at a steady pace. There will be a story here and there that may be shorter or even longer than usual, but the pace will be mostly steady. Each season will be set at around 26 stories for the First and Second Era while the Third Era and its stories will be generally a lot longer in terms of number of chapters per story and thus will be about 13 stories per season...maybe less.
• After each season is complete, I'll be taking a break for a few weeks before rolling into the next season. Suffice it to say, this whole thing will be a long term project and labor of love.
• I plan to bundle up each season into a downloadable package you can download and read all at once at your leisure. Of course, I'm organizing the stories here on FA as best I can, so you can do that anyway. The only difference is that if it's a season I'm still working on, it'll naturally still be a work in progress. Still, story series are best read as they're newly released anyway.
• This universe will be my chance to finally expand my roster a lot. However, my core set of characters will still get most of the overall focus. Unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day, so developing dozens of characters evenly would be rather difficult. Most of their development will depend on their significance in the story.
• Fetishes featured include (but not limited to): Female and male muscle (growth and worship), huge boobs and very erect nipples, smoking (with a holder), strength feats, vanilla sex, and tentacles. There's probably others, but that's all I can think of at the moment.
• There will be other peoples' characters as well. Each will be featured with the character owner's permission with a certain level of creative liberty included.
• Aime, or as I plan to rename her, Amy, will finally be properly introduced. Amy was a silver winged dragoness character with muscles given to me long ago by her former owner who has since left FA, but she's sat on the back burner for all this time. I hope to rectify that soon.
That's everything I can think of. I'm open to answering other questions about this series. Just know that I'm keeping all answers mostly spoiler free. Though depending on the question, I might devulge a future detail or two.

Going on this, you're only keeping it to three eras? There'll be no fourth era where everything dies?

OP
As it stands, yes I'm keeping it to three eras. If "everything dies", it'll eventually happen in the Third Era.

Cool so when will Amy be introduced?
RinjiPantera
~rinjipantera
OP
Not sure yet. I need to flesh out her backstory to establish her role in the story. I've even thought of making her an antagonist.

When you say you're changing how muscular and strong she is...she's getting...bigger, right? lol. Regardless, can't wait to see her!

I'm glad to see things progressing my Seito.

Thank you, Sensei! I'm really having fun with this, and I'm glad you're enjoying your character's role in this storyline as well. X3

Labour of love indeed. I applaud your efforts. I'm not a Naruto fan though, so how hard would it be for a newbie to read this?
RinjiPantera
~rinjipantera
OP
Well, I removed the Naruto reference because when it comes down to it, fire style, lightning style, and such are pretty self-explanatory. Also, I make certain to adequately explain things like the Sharingan, Byakugan, etc, as needed. It should be easy enough for a newbie to read this, yes.

Well then, when you get those season PDFs out, I'll be sure to check that out.
