An SSBM Fan Fic, by Smoke_Rulz

AND THE DAY IS MINE!
...
*ahem* Well, it's been over a year since I started writing this story. When I decided to write it, it was my first time back on this site in nearly a year. (Only 3 days separated it, actually) The Hell City Chronicles were put up then, (they're now at FictionPress) and so came SSBMC, and my later fics soon followed. But now, the SSBM Chronicles has drawn to a close.
This story helped me meet a lot of interesting people. Master Link was probably the first, and writers like Shrtys-Sk8er and Silva soon followed. Through my website, (mainly the Fan Fic section) several authors flocked to this site and posted their great works, such as Kirbmaster X and Deadly Warrior. I've enjoyed my time writing this story and having chats with all the authors who read it, and I'm glad to have been regarded as one of the greater SSB writers on FF.net.
As you may have noticed, my story broke the 100 review mark at Chapter 32. I never expected it to get that far, as that is quite a rarity nowadays. But it did, and that proved to me that my story wasn't just a project out of love for a video game, but it was a work of art that entertained and inspired those who decided to read it and review it with their praises.
I did not expect to enjoy writing this story so much, and I did not expect its success. For enjoying and popularizing my works, I thank you all, the readers, from the bottom of my heart. I'm glad I could inspire you in any way I did, and I just want you to know that you have inspired me as well. You gave me the strength to further my abilities as a writer and to further this story for those who were eager.
My writings will not stop here. As you may or may not know, I have a couple projects planned, and also have 2 stories that I update occasionally. I do not plan on going anywhere for a while, but if I ever do leave, just know it was not disappointed.
Before I draw this to an official close, I've decided to put in some other stuff.
Infernus: Or maybe you should say "shameless self-promotion."
Quiet, you. Moving on.
Over time, I was writing, brainstorming, and searching for ways to destroy Writer's Blocks. (God I hate those cursed things...) I found lots of inspiration in many things, including something I saw in the Epic Battle series by Shrtys-Sk8er: The Story Soundtrack.
Infernus: OMG YOU RIPPED HIM OFF!
OMG BEE QUEIT ITZ ACOOOOL TING I KAN DUIT IF I WAN T2!!!!!11111111
Infernus: ...
Good. Way back in the story, I started gathering my little gathering of songs (heh... gathering a gathering...) that fit nicely in my story, and which also gave me inspiration a lot of the time. I put all the songs on a special webpage with all their lyrics. (Why? Because I was BORED. It was a Writer's Block, come on. Can ya blame me?) The song list changed over time, and not long before the final Chapters, I made the last update. Here is my official song list for this story:
SRSSBM Soundtrack, Volume 1
1. Killswitch Engage - "Rise Inside"
2. Flaw - "Only the Strong"
3. Disturbed - "Bound"
4. Korn - "Let's Get This Party Started"
5. Otep - "Battle Ready"
6. P.O.D. - "Masterpiece Conspiracy"
7. Metallica - "The Unforgiven"
8. Iced Earth - "The Path I Choose"
9. Linkin Park - "One Step Closer"
10. Flaw - "Inner Strength"
11. Iced Earth - "Pure Evil"
12. Slipknot - "(sic)"
13. Disturbed - "Violence Fetish"
14. Korn - "Did My Time"
15. Limp Bizkit f/Ozzy Osbourne & Stuck Mojo - "Blood In My Eyes"
Infernus: And I thought "Epic Battle Soundtrack" was bad name.
SHUTUP! Well, you are kinda right... ... Anyway, if you can't tell, the soundtrack is majority Hard Rock. Several songs probably aren't considered Hard Rock, but oh well. I like them.
And now, for my little twists on the soundtrack. I've chosen the official songs for three groups. The kind of songs you could make a music video out of on the subject. These have changed COUNTLESS times while the soundtrack was being figited with, but here's the final product.
Official Song for the Fic: "Battle Ready"
Runner-Up: "Only the Strong"
Official Hero Song: "Rise Inside"
Runner-Up: "Inner Strength"
Official Villian Song: "The Path I Choose"
Runner-Up: "Pure Evil"
Feel free to get a hold of the songs and listen to them for the true feel.
And finally, the lyrics page I mentioned. You can find it at srssbmst.cjb.net. Be warned, as there are explicit lyrics.
Continuing on with my Author's Closing, here's a little list of specific people I wish to thank.
1. Nintendo, for kicking so much ass. I mean, seriously. Give them a hand.
2. The author Master Link. I'm not sure how either of us would be doing had we not met. You've given me a lot of inspiration and fun over this long time, and I thank you.
3. The author Shrtys-Sk8er. Your stories are probably my favorite in the SSB section. They've provided me with a lot of entertainment and motivation, and I've enjoyed reading your positive reviews.
4. The author KirbMasterX. Though you may not know it, I admire your ability to even go as close as you are to Chapter 100. :P Plus with all the insanity, I'm not sure even I could muster a state of mind to keep such a vibe going. I applaud you. Plus you're always here with your good feedback for every chapter I do.
5. The author Deadly Warrior. Come on, aren't these all the same? You've been a fun person, and I enjoy your reviews, and hanging out at the EAB.
6. Repeat reviewers of this story. I'm glad you decided to all stick around and offer your reviews, because I enjoy seeing them. I hope you stick around for my other projects.
7. People who add me to Favorites Lists. It melts my heart. :)
8. The music bands Flaw and Linkin Park. I don't think they will ever leave my Favorite Bands list. Their music inspires me greatly for my Fan Fics and other literary works, more than any other music bands.
I guess that's about it for my list. If I forget anyone, I'll probably add to it.
Well, this story is over, people. But I hope you aren't discouraged, because the story isn't going anywhere, and if you've enjoyed its run, then why is there reason for disappointment? All good things will come to an end.
For me, it's one story down. I'm glad to have finished, and I think I did a great job. Once again, I thank you all, and I'll see you in SSTL, and all my future writings.
Stay (sic).
