Welcome to the universe of Shattered Worlds!
"We were all together, as one - until we began to feel...
now we're all left shattered in our worlds; alone."

Annnywhos, now that I have begged forgiveness time for MAJOR - yet minor updates lol. The major updates is pretty much on the status of myself and Zexion's life outside of Shattered Worlds, we are both alive and well; Zexion has recovered from his car incident and is back to normal but at the moment he is being abducted by real life with the pursuit of kicking the ass of the graphic world, so he will be A LOT more busier than, so keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best for Zexi everyone; though we know he'll be just fine and come out with win!
As for me I'm still going hard at working to survive, and spending a little more time living life so that I do not end up going into a depression spiral again - which honestly was comforting the first day it happened but then it bought on hell for the two months it lasted, so I am happy to be out of that state of mind now ^__^.
Okay, now with the minors. If any feared that Shattered Worlds is dead than take comfort into knowing that it is not, SW is still alive and kicking but just in a slight downtime due to Zexion and myself with such a heavy load on our backs and not much time to relax and get things going back on a study flow here.
However considering that I just may have a little more free time than Zexi now I am going to say (WARNING NOT PROMISING: BECAUSE LIFE IS AT TIMES AN UNPREDICTABLE BEEYOTCH THAT HAS MULTIPLE BABIES AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT!) that I may have my solo story that Zexion had mentioned 8 months ago up before the year is out!
Zexion had mentioned it but I give a little more info for those who are wondering, It'll be Chapter 0 due to how far back I am taking the story to further explain Xian's tale; also because I wanted to set the playing field for events that built the A.I.U. and other important things. It in whole is called Chapter 0: Origin's and it ends where Zexion's story picks up; but I will reference the beginning in the end to bring it all in and together ^__^.
In end, it will feature other key elements that we've made/done over the years in Chapters before and Chapters to come, but over all I believe it will come out good.
Now that all of this has been covered I am going to end this by saying once again sorry that we have not been around to put anything up or even update the page or even look at it; I say that last one because of me, I'm sure Zexi checked on it like it was a sound asleep baby lol. We will try to be around a little more when we have to free time; even if it is just to be nerds, geeks, or plain old idiots and brother ya'll viewers XDDD.
Weeeeeeell, time for my nap before work. Until the next one take care all and please, remain goofy - it'll make ya happy. ^__^

Okay, okay, it's been a little - well, a lot longer than I had anticipated between posts. I hope you won't hold it against me, I'm sure we all get a little distracted over Christmas - along with such other distractions like getting hit by a car *grumble grumble.*
Good news is; Juno and I haven't just been sitting on our hands. So far, we have written a total of eight chapters for Shattered Worlds. The beginning is up, here. I hope you enjoy our prologue and first two chapters! (I wanna confirm that the layout is okay with Juno before I post the remaining six chapters.)
On a side note, Juno and I have both started work on our solo stories. Juno's is as yet un-named, (we have been referring to it simply as 'chapter zero') and centres around the character Xian. He should post his first few chapters shortly. My own, is named 'Zexion's Odyssey' and if not obvious enough, revolves around the main character of the 'Birth of' era, Zexion.
I'm taking my sweet time with Zexion's Odyssey, as I really want it to be something special. I hope it will be of print quality when it is finished, though that is really some time away. I've been plaanning the book for some time, though only begun writing a couple of weeks ago. I'm currently about two thirds of the way through the prologue and will post it as soon as it's done.
Finally for today, I wanna take a few moments to mention 'Graceling'. Being brutally honest, I'm not a huge novel reader. I've read, maybe a total of six novels in my life. Just before Christmas I was with my dad in town, he wanted to get a book on trains as a gift for our next door neighbour. I spent a little time looking through the books, and nothing has ever leaped off the shelves and hit me as hard as this book did. At the time, I resisted my temptation and didn't buy it, but it remained on my mind for weeks.
Last Wednesday, my brother bought it for me as an apologetic gift, and I was hooked! When I was younger, I would have never imagined I could have burned through a book so fast, I seriously couldn't put it down and I flicked through all three-hundred and seventy-one pages in just four days! The author, Kristin Cashore has created something very special with Graceling and she has become a great inspiration for me.
If you are an avid reader, Graceling really does have something for just about everyone and I highly reccomend it! If you do pick it up, pay special attention to the character, Bitterblue, for this little princess will be the focus of Cashore's third book. ~.^ - While you're at it, Fire, Cashore's second book might interest you, however while Fire is a prequel, Graceling is intended to be read first. Jump right in with Fire and the absoloutly WOW @.@ moment in the prologue when you find out who the little four-year-old, Immiker really is won't register lol.

I've added our existing encyclopedia for the Shattered Worlds universe. The purpose of this page is if there is a term not understood in the story, you can easily bring up the encyclopedia page and use the find command to locate a description of anything you want to know more about.
The encyclopedia will be an ongoing project and I will notify in the news of any updates to it. On a side-note, I spoke to Juno very briefy last night, but I have yet to see any progress from him for the past two weeks or so, though understandable as it is with the holidays - and as it will be for me leading upto Christmas, though I do hope to get his information and first threads of Shattered Worlds up on the site ASAP.
Next update will be either to the Characters visual page, or the previous book recap page. Though Redemption and '0' are not making any progress at the moment, I have begun work on my own solo story; 'Zexion's Odyssey', and have to discuss with Juno if the site is ho host a separate story we have called 'Shadows of Darkness.'
Whatever the case, I do hope to have the first chapter of Zexion's Odyssey up before Christmas atleast. If like me you're suffering from a little of the winter blues, here's some wackyness from the greatest nation on Earth I guarentee will bring a smile to your lips. Ah, Japan. How I love you.

I've added a sketch book page. Here you can view the art work by myself and Juno — mostly relating to the Shattered Worlds Universe, though not all. Shattered Worlds character page and previous book re-cap page are also on the way.
For those of you who are now wondering if we are going to be writing stories lino previously unreleased books, the answer is no. Our first story that will be hoasted here on this site will be 'Chapter 0' and will be an original piece taking place years before book 1. After that it is likely we will re-write the previous chapters for the site.
In other random news; Birth by Sleep is now availible for pre-order - - - if you're Japanese lol.
I'm a huge fan of the Kingdom Hearts series, though I hate Square for releasing BBS and Days on PSP and DS respectivly, I'm not much of a handheld gamer, but I'll certainly be picking up a PSP for BBS in the new year. Though - as with a great deal of Kingdom Hearts related material (Give the Europeans RE: Chains already SE!!!) this limited edition psp is likely only going to be available in Japan.
It's so love-hate with Square Enix. Why can't they let a game be what it is - I can appreciate the extended stories and all, but limiting those stories to lesser platforms and - in some cases - only Japan is just mean!
Tetsuya Nomura recently said that BBS will have a length of gameplay as long as some Final Fantasies, making it the longest Kingdom Hearts by far. A game of this level most certainly deserves a seat on the PS3 me thinks, but I rekon they are saving that spot for KH3 - not wanting to spoil the new looks on a side-story. We shall see, still, it's enough to send you...

What is Shattered Worlds? Well, it's an online role playing epic that started on the old Osbian boards around 2005-2006 in talk and came to a head in January 2007 with the first chapter being played out on Osbian's replacement – the Futanari Palace.
After a successful first chapter of the story in, which midway I was given GM rights, I brought the series back for an additional two chapters live on the palace. Since then, myself and Juno have taken up the flag to continue the long running storyline privately.
The universe of Shattered Worlds has become so vast, we believed it deserved it's own place to live, so here we are. On this website will we soon be hosting the further chapters of Shattered Worlds for all to read and enjoy, and we hope you totally enjoy your stay!~
