Hey guys, it's your favorite Author- *stares at empty rows upon rows of seats*

*chirp*

*chirp*

*chirp*

...Well at least the crickets are still here for my fanfic announcement.

Cricket: Oh wait, this was the fanfic meeting? Sorry wrong room *hops away*

No, wait! I was kidding! Wait! WAAAAAIT! Damn it X(!

*sigh* well anyway, what up guys ^^ I know updates have been slow as of late, and i noticed there've been a few quiet people out in the review area- then again, as I realized, 2-3 times so far, I've deleted a chp before each post, hence forth people have been reading in the same general area, and long story short, it's been preventing you guys from reviewing to your liking XP Sorry about that.

As for my absence, well...it's school X/ a lot of annoying things, and I've been physically tired as of late (even for a freakign 5-day-weekened i recently had X/...) and just feel tired for the time being X/ Regardless though, I've come to this announcement for 3 special reasons!

1!...I'm the author so i kinda have to XP

2- I'm actually hosting a bit of a contest-related thing atm :P As you all know, DGR:AE is awesome, and as some of you should know, it'll be the direct sequel to this fanfic ^^ huzzah! To be a legit anime/game, I want to include an intro ^^ Problem is, I'm already busy with the outlined-plot for this fanfic, so I'm still busy atm XP So, i naturally did the most logical thing i could think of ^^...and after being convicted of an armed robbery for 20-days straight (apparently they bought that I was retarded in court so I got a shorter sentence XP...wait a minute...they were insulting me?!), I decided to do the next best thing, and I'm going to hold a little contest :D!

The rules are simple ^^ EVERYONE CAN JOIN :D! That's the easy rule ^^ For this "Contest", the rules are as follow- using the music played at the end of DGR:AE as the intro music, create an overall outline of an anime-based intro and fill in the scenes to your liking ^^ For that, as the outline of this, when you're writing down the lyrics, use bold italics for the writing, and use italics for the scene description ^^ Be creative, and have your own fun with it ^^ Keep in mind though, like all intros, they only use about a minute-and-a-half of the actual music that plays, so you're only allowed to use 1.30 mins of the song at a max- it can be shorter too, buuuuuuut, let's be honest- the longer the better XP

To help fill in ideas of the scene, here are some notes to make about the new fanfic (SPOILER WARNING FOR FUTURE FANFIC- but not by much that isn't expected by this point XP)

1- Ikusaba is replacing Fukawa as Komaru's partner

2- JUNKO IS STILL ALIVE O_o!

3- Add a pinch of salt-...wait that was the recipe...oh yeah! Naegi has gone missing within Towa City, meaning she'll also make an appearance in the game :P

4- The REMNANTS of despair (ALL OF THEM) wil be making appearances too O_O

5-...i'll get back to you on that XP

So overall, a-minute-30 max, be creative and have fun with it, and when submitting it, obviously just send me the message of your intro-idea via PM (note- YOU'RE writing the intro, I'm not, so have it completed naturally XP).

As for the reward for this, the sender will get the "SPECIAL" Honor, of having that intro displayed at the beginning of each Episode/Chapter ^^! I was thinking of money or another "Secret of immortality" bit, but the SOIAFAI (Secret of immortality agency for angered Immortals...which doesn't exist...) kinda got pissed and sued me the last time for joking about it, so i can't joke about it anymore (even though it's a truth this time X/) so i thought having an intro of your own creation being made public would be rather fun to witness ^^

Now for my 3rd announcement- I'm also going to be working on another new fanfic as of late (soon as i get it posted at least XP) so updates on this may slow down...or speed up ^^! it's to keep up the "writing juices" flowing and all ya know ^^?

Anyway, use the time to leave any reviews you wanted to comment about for the last several chps if you had any :P till next time guys ^^ expect updates soon! (and real ones, not announcements XP)

PS: As I was just informed, for those looking for the specific version of the song (I think), it's titled "Progressive"- it's the song that plays during the ending credits (which I personally downloaded onto my phone because of how awesome it is X)! )
