ARCHIVED NEWS

I think the title of this page is pretty self-explanatory. Here are all the updates of the page since 4/22/00. More recent updates are located near the bottom.
4/22/01--I uploaded to the site today THE LAST FIGHT Part 1. You can check it out here or click on the Dragonball Fanfiction link on the right and then scroll down. Also, TIME'S ESSENCE Part 2 is also uploaded. You can check it out here or click on the original stories link and then go to the TIME'S ESSENCE story link.
I think that for now, those two stories will be the focus of my work, and when TLF is done, you can expect more DB:EF on the page.
4/23/01--I looked at the counter today, and I found out that I have over 1000 hits! Go me.
But anyway, TE Part 3 is coming along good. You can expect to see it by the end of the week or sooner if I manage to get a little free time. TLF Part 2 I haven't worked on much, but that too should be done by the end of this week.
Well, that's all I have for now, so I'll cut the update short.
4/29/01--Well, due to an almost total lack of time I was only able to make good on one of my promised goals. TIME'S ESSENCE Part 3 is now up, but THE LAST FIGHT I haven't even worked on at all. I should have that up by the middle of next week unless I get hit hard again with other engagements.
I have gotten several emails about the status of THE ROGUE KAI Part 2 and when it will be up, and I'll say again that for now, TRK is on hold until I finish THE LAST FIGHT. I repeat, TRK is ON HOLD.
6-6-01--For those of you that have been visiting my site since my last post back in late April, thank you for being faithful to me and this site. I will say that the end of school for me brought about ten exams that all required studying for several nights in advance lest I fail them, and so that ate up almost all of May time and update-wise. In these last several days I have been helping Vez_Maniac of the DBEF Domain with his Fight Club. If you don't know what that is check it out here. You can expect some updates by the end of next week. Until Then . . .
6-16-01--Well, even though I have not made any updates to the fanfiction in this past week as I said I would,  right now I have several more chapters of TIME'S ESSENCE and THE LAST FIGHT in the making. I will be putting the finishing touches on them this week and posting them, so check back this week to see.
For those of you that are blind, I changed the banner on the top of the site and rewrote the opening crawl. Also I, in conjunction with vez_maniac of the DBEF Domain, wrote a DBZ Comedy.  You can check it out on his site here. We love feed back--remember that.
7-30-01-- I'm back, and I thought that instead of apologizing for being gone, I'd make up for it by posting the first four parts of DARK REFLECTION. I plan to leave TIME'S ESSENCE on the site, but I will probably not finish it unless I get  a whole lot of requests for it. You can check out the new fic here. I think that it is an extremely good story, and so do other people that have seen it. It will take a while to finish, but I'll be updating regularly on it and it should be done by December if all goes well. I also changed the poll on the bottom of the site, please contribute to it.
8-03-01--Hey! I uploaded just now Parts 5 and 6 to DR, check them out on the Dragonball Fanfiction link at the right.  Parts 7 and 8 are coming along nicely and should be done soon as well.
I've been getting a lot of feedback since I posted DR, but please sign the guestbook and tell me what you think. There is a new poll towards the bottom of the page, please vote on it.
Until next time . . .
8-11-01--As you can see, I've put an awesome new banner up at the top of the page, and changed the background to something that looks better than before (at least in my opinion). I was unaware of the fact that both the Links and the Pictures were down, and fixed the links.
DR chapter 7 is done, but I will not post it until I have Part 8 done as well, which will be quite soon.
Also, PLEASE sign the guestbook to tell me what you think of the new layout for the index and DR.
'Til next time . . .
8-17-01--For me and many others, school is starting up again (gasps) and so this last week I have been quite busy with enrolling, going to a "band camp" (Hee hee), and so I have had very little time to update. But now I'm back, and I've added a new Japanese Terms Glossary to the Story Archive, so check it out.
DR Part 8 is taking even longer than I expected, even accounting for all the delays, but it will be done soon, hopefully by the end of the week. My poll at the bottom asks your opinion of DR, please check it out.
Later . . .
8-22-01--Hey! I had some free time today before school starts (half days in the beginning of the year), and I decided that I'd add the Blackstar Webring navigation bar back on to my site, now that we have two new members, Crystal Solace and DB City. Please check it out by clicking the Ring Hub link in the navigation bar. I am still searching for members to join, so if you have a site that meets the standards of the Ring, then submit your site.
DR Part 8 was completed, but as I was uploading it my computer locked up and now I'll have to start from the middle. Expect it soon!
8-24-01--Ah, damn it. I realized that somebody upstairs must not want me to finish DR Part 8, since I keep losing my saved file. Since Part 7 has been sitting on my computer finished and unused I decided I'd go ahead and post it. This does not mean that I am back to updating one part at a time, though. The poll that I have posted is telling me that while all of you seem to think highly of DR, THE ROGUE KAI needs to be worked on more. I can understand your need to read the stuff in order, but I didn't feel that there was a lot that needed explaining before I could write DR since it's not part of the DBEF saga for the most part, just a story about Vez. I plan to finish Saga 1 of DR, then go back to write the rest of DBEF. If you feel differently, email me! Also, the Blackstar webring still needs members, please join! Also, NEW BANNER!!!
10-3-01--Wow. VERY long time no update. I suppose that I could blame it on the September 11th terrorist attacks, or maybe because school has started. I don't think so. The truth is that I have been very busy with my actual life, and when I've had the time, I've been too tired to update or hadn't thought of it at all. Several new updates are on the way. An unfinished DR Part 8 is posted, along with a preview to what I consider will be the Lookout's greatest new addition. Music Videos! Woo hoo, right? But the truth is that it may still be some time until I can get them up because I can't find a reliable server to upload them onto. Bummer.
10-8-01--First let me say that updates will slow for a while, because it's the Fanfiction's 1-year anniversary this December, and I plan to make it a pretty big deal by updating at least 10 parts of fanfiction, massive updates to pics and humor (btw I have another comedy skit in the works with vez_maniac again), along with other little knicknacks. Hopefully the Music Video page will be up by then as well. In the meantime, DR Part 8 is FINALLY finished after nearly a month and a half in the making, check it out here. In other news there is nothing to report.
Until next time . . .
12-15-01--Talk about amazing.  For once in Dende's Lookout History, A promised BIG update was made ON TIME!!! After a backbreaking amount of work getting the new layout ready, I finally have it online! And it only took me FOUR HOURS!!!! YEAH!!!   Hopefully all the links will work now as well, but that's not all I promised. (Email me if you find one that's broken, please!!!) I also said I'd deliver new fanfiction, and, well, I got new fanfiction coming out my . . . um . . . butt.  First and foremost, there is a new DB:EF epic up called THE FIRST HUNT on the Story Archive page, complete with a prologue and the first two parts, along with a very important notice on the SA index page.   DARK REFLECTION Part Nine is finished, with Ten very close to being done; check it out here.  THE LAST FIGHT Part Two is up, check it out here.   There's a new short non-DB story in the Original Fiction called THE END.  It's pretty awesome, check it out here.   There's plenty more stuff in the making, so be sure to check back soon. Well, that's all I have for now . . . **pants from the strain of talking**
1-17-01--Just GREAT.  I get my summer vacation over with, then I come back, and am slammed with a brutal week crammed with semester finals and other tests.   Damn, I hate tests.  I think I hate tests more than Pokemon.   No, scratch that.  Nothing could top my contempt for that pathetic show.   ANYway, I've got a fanfiction update to report.  THE FIRST HUNT parts 3 and 4 are up! Hell yes! In other news, expect a new comedy skit VERY soon (like before the weekend is over).

My work here is done . . .

1-18-01--Well, another comedy skit is finally up! This one is the true sequel to the hilarious "SHOWDOWN ON THE 13TH" green, entitled, "THE GENDER OF ROYALTY."  Is Vejiita really a Prince? Or is he . . . something else? Also THE FIRST HUNT parts 3 and 4 are up, so be sure to check them out as well!
3-29-02--Those who have known this site in the past know that I have never been frequent about updating.  I just thought that I would let it be known that I do have some more updates planned, and I also have an announcement to make, which will undoubtedly make many of you very happy, at least enough to quit sending me flames. I finally got sick of using Vez_Maniac's characters, and have began a completely new series.  I am notorious for starting and not finishing things, but I believe this series is original enough to keep me interested.  For now FIRST HUNT will be left on the page while I get the first story typed as it is, but it is also in my plans to rewrite it and incorporate it into the new series, which I have tentatively named DB:ED (ED standing for Era of Darkness).  Also, if you plan to sign the guestbook, at least say something useful.  You trash-talkers are wasting my time while I have to delete your entries with no point.  Those of you that compliment me or actually post some good criticism, thank you very much.  On another note, expect to see the pictures section given a major overhaul in the near future.
