Ending Conclusion

*Needs characters.

---

::NOTE::

I will be spreading out the rest of the characters in the various chapters, except for those whom are allocated special placements.

As you can see, I've been adding more chapter titles of what's to come. My writer's block finally gave way and I've figured a nice little plot to carry the story on with. The story will probably end at about fiften chapters max, and then I'll post this story onto a different website where people can read it. I have also added a conclusion too, since the story wouldn't end right if I left it at the last chapter

Slots are open for all. One character per player so far until I feel it's necessary to add alts. Characters maked like this are ones that have been accepted and given a place in the story.

1. Kaoori
2. Sorrel
3. Tails
4. Spyrre
5. Zergarikiaka
6. Queze
7. R
8. brd
9. Faunet
10. Umay
11. Yorres
12. Leeon

Hey, just a note, you know I

Hey, just a note, you know I have a frankly stupid amount of deer, so if it turns out you have gaps that for some reason you can't get people to fill (unlikely I know Sticking out tongue), I probably have a deer of any personality ya want.

Keep up the good work! 8D

Thanks Lieka! In response to

Thanks Lieka!

In response to you, Flyra, I just need stags in general, provided they aren't evil and sociable enough to be around others.

I have more deer than I did before, so if any of them work, you can add them in. =] The majority are stags, too. XD

Huh, kay... then maybe Khaki? He's a very friendly one, but when there is something that puts his peace in risk he can get very angry and resolutely, so maybe he would be good for the story? ^^
Thanks very much in advance! <3

Ahhhhhh, Verdalas! I just caught up on the story, it's awesome, and with each chapter you're getting better!

Ohman though, do you think you could use Obelisk or Soap-Mote somewhere? That would be so awesome *mouthfoam* Aha, I'll be rolling around with joy and acting childish. <3
If you want to there's a link in my sig to their little descriptions.

Is there any chance you need another chara?

Teehee. Mostly because people are busy with updates that the new chaptes are flushed down into oblivion. Plus I haven't released a new chapter recently. I'm waiting until I'm totally finished with school and back in a writing mood.

I'm not sure about needing new characters, but I can always replace ones that belong to people who aren't here anymore.

You are still welcome to use any of my characters, but if you'd like to give the slot to someone more active I wouldn't mind, I'll read either way lol

I have actually been thinking of maybe writing TEF novels as a hobby and publishing them with the funds to help ToT. Of course that'd be a long way away and I'm just a university student right now, but there's always dreams!

I can't believe it's two years since I started this story stuff.. xD

Furthermore I can't believe people want me to finish it! There's been a lot of players come and go though, so I think I might have to get new characters on the case.

With a few changes, I can see it being finished.. But a lot has changed in-Forest since I started it. Hence why I'm going to have to revamp the character list and work on potential other deer I can stick in. D:

Thanks! I don't think I'll be in need of any bad characters, but having some more good-natured deer would certainly help. So for now I shall add Sorrel to the list. Thankyou!

Any of my deer you need, feel free to use them. For this I might suggest Blixt (the luchador masked deer), who is a serious and semi-aggressive stag. And of course if you need Quad for anything, by all means toss him in.

You know you can always use Lemon again, though she has changed quite a lot since her last appearance in the story, and probably wouldn't fit in anywhere at all. Just know that you're still always free to use her if you'd like! c:
