《Trending News (According to Narrator)》009 Work In Progress

Quote:Here comes the sun. Do-doo-do-doo! Here comes the sun and I say, it’s alright.
Hello there.
What’s up with the Beatles lyrics you ask?
Oh. Nothing. It’s just 1:35 AM PST and j0nn0 couldn’t sleep so he decided to talk about stuff…
What stuff? Well, I’m sure you’ve noticed the current state of RRL 2.5 so that kinda answers your question. Anyways, the bug report and feedback forums are still up in addition to a new, officially released RRL V2.5 thread. It exploded not long after posting and has been active with over 16 pages and growing. I expect RRL issues to continue for the next week and a half before most of the problems get worked out. If you want a full list of current site issues, I suggest looking around for yourself and reporting new problems or just browsing the aforementioned threads. Things will get fixed soon enough, just provide feedback and pointers to bugs so that work for the RRL staff can progress more smoothly during this V2.5 transition.
I hear that this will pretty much solve the past 500 errors we’ve had and set up the forums for easier maintenance, better speed, and reliability for the future of RRL. If you think there’s something that could be improved, don’t be shy to post around the forums.
In other news, the Writers to The End have officially gained their forum branch. Shoutout to Wing for creating that for the group on her birthday and while dealing with the forum explosion following this latest RRL 2.5 slew of problems. *does a wing-wing waddle dance in thanks* Keep up the good work and I hope to see things fixed soon.
In other, other news, RRL is hosting a shiny new contest! I may have mentioned it before but forgot and am unwilling to check, but anyways, it’s got prizes. For all you looking for some green, or even just a shiny new achievement, the prize(s) could be yours for the winning if you just submit something. The theme is “I Shall Seal the Heavens”. For those of you who don’t know, ISSTH is a Chinese WN, also known as Wuxia/XiaXia and focuses on the Chinese lore of martial arts cultivation and ascension. I’ll leave it to you guys to self research if you wanna know more.

“J0nn0 here to make a quick note: I call dibs on the title, I Shall Mock the Heavens, in case I wanna write a joke story despite the fact that I know absolutely nothing about it.”
Hah, good ol’ j0nn0. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind when making my own I Shall Laugh Loudly short work.
I think that’s it for this quick installment of TN(AtN). See you next time.
Spoiler: After show show That was a quick one, j0nn0.
“I know, right? Not even thirty minutes to write this one out!”
You’re getting faster at this.
“No, you’re just getting easier to write… I think. That or you’re just becoming a bigger part of me. We’ll find out soon enough if you decide to take over my body.”
…
Here’s the music.
UPDATE 4/23/16 12:35 AM PST
Well, it’s been about half a day since RRL 2.5 got rolled back to RRL 2.0, at least on the fictions side of things, and I’m back! The forums are still largely unaffected by that change. Due to much clamoring and headache, the RRL staff have decided to revert the fictions pages to RRL 2.0 for the time being.
Some people claim that the voices complaining in the V2.5 thread above are of the “vocal minority”, but the fact of the matter remains that it was a bad transition due to several factors. One, there was likely too little exposure and advertisement of both the RRL update and beta versions. Two, formatting and BBcode display for the fiction posts was just plain terrible. And three, most, if not all, user interfaces could use a lot of improvement.
I’m all for progress, but with the current ISSTH event cross-advertising and how much work is required for the new version to be usable, it is likely best to revert for now. I look forward to the next RRL update all the same because now it’s sure to be better. When the next update happens, I’ll be here to link most of the relevant threads and point you, dear readers, towards other such resources.

Everyone is a Superhero! Apart from me
Welcome to Loktharma, where everybody is a superhero from birth. That makes Eugene De Lavet the most special of them all. At eighteen years old, he still has no clue what his superpower is. Loktharma has never been a fair world. There are Worldbreakers who were born to brandish the power of the universe, warp time-space, destroy lands and continents. There are Craftmasters who control the elements and terrorize countries with their might and wits. There are Commoners who are only gifted with power for the finer arts, architecture, military arts, or small-scale elemental manipulation. Even in an unjust world like Loktharma, there is always one constant: everyone is assigned a Flair since birth; the power to do something extraordinary. And then there's Eugene. He's been running around in a secluded forest since birth, training and sparring his ass off. While he can wield a blade better than most at his age, he certainly can't throw a giant boulder using the power of his mind, or turn his skin into diamonds. He has no Flair, no purpose for leveling up his stats, and no idea why General Rizeni Baggardo keeps him confined inside a forest for eighteen years. At least until Lord Pyro—the Craftmaster of Tailiah—unleashes his fury on the forest, searching for a treasure Eugene doesn't even know exists. On a frantic escape for his life, Eugene starts to realize he was a part of something he's been completely oblivious to until now. Along with his companions, Melodi and Azra, he travels the land and unveils the secrets of the world. [The story will be told primarily through the lenses of three main characters, with occasional side character POV chapters. It also draws inspiration from Japanese shounen. So only proceed if you're cool with these aspects.]
