| This was a St. Patrick's Day drawing that ended up being a prize for the winner of the fan club I run, ~Chipmunk-Fanbase's St. Patrick's Day winner, ~HeavenAndSky. This was the only major submission I had between the months of September and April because I was dealing with personal troubles and had a 250pg. fanfic to write. |
Top O' The Money To Yeh
Unlikely Hero -Part 1 of 10-
| This story is my first major fanfic. Written in February, 2008, it follows the adventure of an anthropic dog named Fritzie who wins a one week meet and greet with the Chipmunks, and how something that should have been routine and simple ended up going absolutely bonkers. I'm in the process of writing a sequel, which I hope will outclass the first story. It's been in the works since March, 2008. |

Sequel Update Log
Just a little side thing if anyone's curious. If you're here for spoilers, you will be disappointed. But if you want to keep tabs on this box on how I'm doing and whether or not this sequel is just idle blabber, please check back here daily!  Link to the Story: [link] Currently on: Editing Process (Chapter 24 Beg.) Pages: ~242 PAGES Progress Bar: [OOOOOOOOUX] 89% COMPLETE (ESTIMATED) Writing: [-COMPLETE-] 100% Editing: [OOOOOUXXXX] 58% COMPLETE Beta Rd: [OOUXXXXXXX] 28% COMPLETE (58% Sent) Beta Reader: ~penguin-tuxedo (All dates are in the year 2009.) Week of 1-11 1-12: Restructured my sequel in my head a fourth time. This one makes much more sense logically for the outcome, but I'm not sure if this is what I want to do with it. Week of 1-18 1-19: Began to try writing a prologue, but gave up because of a lack of proper wording, and a lack of a direction for the beginning. 1-22: Ran the sequel idea through AJ, to fix any legalities and technical issues. Got an all clear, cool.  1-23 (AM): Finally got a steady direction on how to carry out the first half of the story. Wrote the brief Prologue to the story and completed the first three(!) chapters. I pretty much amazed myself with what came out and will hopefully continue tomorrow. Week of 1-25 1-27 (AM): Was sick the last few days, and I still sort of am. But I had a short day at work, and even though I felt real crappy today (especially after spending two hours burning shit) I reworked the second half of chapter three and wrote chapter four! Now I'm getting somewhere, this is the farthest I've gotten with a restructure since the very first original idea. I can't wait until tomorrow, because the next few chapters I have archived and only need to rework it minimally. So hopefully, I will be caught up to chapter eight or nine by early Wednesday morning. 1-28: I decided to take last night as a time to rest and to think about the next few chapters. I've decided to push the chapters I was going to transfer back a few chapters so that it takes place a little later in the story. It will fit better if I did that, so I'll hold off on transfering those chapters until after Chapter 7. I got most of Chapter 5 done, but I have a feeling I will need to rework it a little bit when I get into the proofreading stage. 1-29: Finished the rest of Chapter 5 and completed Chapters 6 and 7. Chapter 8 will begin part of the transferring process, and it should continue until roughly Chapter 11. Looking sharp, especially considering Chapter 7 was probably my longest chapter so far, though I don't know for sure. 1-31 (AM): Got some of Chapter 8 done, but I been feeling kind of lazy tonight so I only finished about a third of it or so, since about three quarters of the chapter isn't material I can transfer and rework. As long as I don't have a bad day at work tomorrow I should pick it up at least at one point during the night and begin where I left off. Week of 2-1 2-7: I know I haven't updated the log in a little bit, this work grind has been preventing me from having the time and energy to continue working on the story. Unless I can get a shift trade for tomorrow somehow, I won't be resuming work on the story until Wed/Thu sometime. One small update is that I changed one event in the story towards the end. I realized that something wouldn't work right, but I only had to change the event. It doesn't change the flow of the story, and it doesn't change much of the subsequent events either, so it's not a massive story restructuring, just a tweak. Hopefully I can get back to work on the story in a couple of days. Week of 2-8 2-12 (AM): Finally starting to pick up where I left off. I finished Chapter 8, but before I could start on Chapter 9 I began to feel a headache coming on and a bit drowsy, so I decided to just leave it at that for the night and pick back up on writing tomorrow. I'm certain now that it's time to start transferring a scene, so tomorrow I'll be working on Chapters 9 and 10. 2-14 (AM): Passed out early yesterday, so transfer began today instead and it was quite successful. Chapters 9 and 10 were written fluidly and even a song thrown in. Continued to finish Chapter 11, one of the more heavy scenes in the story, which included another song before. Then began work on Chapter 12, which is loosely another scene transfer but not like Chapters 9 and 10 were but stopped writing about halfway through. I wrote three and a half chapters today, I'm rather satisfied with myself so I'll leave it at that. As long as I'm home tomorrow I should finish Chapter 12 up but no guarantees since tomorrow starts what's supposed to be my big filming weekend. Week of 2-15 2-15 (AM): Added a page count feature to the log, would be a good solid progress meter. I went on ahead and finished Chapter 12, as more of a chapter to tie a loose end or two. Then moved on to complete Chapters 13 and 14, even throwing in an optional song to the batter to make the scene a little more fun. Chapter 15 is half a scene transfer, and half another heavy scene to the story. I could write even more tonight, but I think three and a half chapters is enough for one day, so I'm gonna call it a night. I'm probably not going to be home tomorrow or Monday, so I think I wrote more than enough to compensate for the time I'm about to lose. 2-16 (AM): Found my weekend plans to be cut short yesterday and much time lost, so while I'm here I got to working on Chapter 16, which is chapter I've been wanting to write for a very long time. Finished only half of it though, tired tonight. 2-17 (AM): Well, I was supposed to get the rest of Chapter 16 and all of Chapter 17 done yesterday afternoon but I got called into work just as I opened up WordPad, so I had to settle for around 2 AM instead. I finished off Chapter 16, and finished Chapter 17 as well, which consists of most of the last scene transfer, and began Chapter 18, which contains the very last of the rest of it. After that, it's all stuff in my brain now that's never been written. I'm now finally starting to get a reasonable time measure as to when I can begin releasing the story, early April 2009. Keep your fingers crossed. 2-18 (AM): Got Chapter 18 finished, and wrote Chapter 19 and 20 in their entirety. I've finally broken the halfway mark. Now's when some of the real fun begins. [Rubs hands together.] Week of 2-22 2-25 (AM): After a busy week I finally sat back down to write again. Completed Chapter 21, began Chapter 22, and worked in the sixth song. I didn't have too much time to write tonight, so I ended it unsure whether or not I actually finished Chapter 22 or not, lol. I'll figure that out while I'm at work tomorrow. 2-27 (AM): Probably won't be writing until tomorrow morning, but I figured out that I needed to rewrite from the song onward in Chapter 22, so I'm not finished with the chapter. Hopefully if work isn't as bas as I'm expecting it to be I'll finish that chapter up and maybe begin work on Chapter 23. It's looking as though I probably won't pick this up again until after midnight on Saturday, so early Sunday morning. Week of 3-1 3-3 (AM): Still a little unsure about Chapter 22 being finished but I wrote a couple of pages. We'll see what happens tomorrow. 3-4 (AM): Got back into the swing of things again for the time being. I decided to split Chapter 22 in half at the end of the song and finished off Chapter 23 shortly thereafter. Then I wrote Chapter 24, and most of Chapter 25, though I'm not sure whether or not to merge those two chapters into one or keep them seperate. I'll put some more thought into it tomorrow at work. Week of 3-8 3-9 (Morning): Well my sleeping pattern got rather screwed for the morning, so I picked my story back up. I didn't completely merge Chapters 24 & 25, but I moved some of the content from 25 into 24, then finished 25 off. Began work on Chapter 26 as well, but passed out before I could really get anywhere. 3-10 (AM): I didn't get as much done as I wanted to tonight, getting only a small portion of Chapter 26 done. Hopefully tomorrow is kinder to me in that department. 3-13 (AM): Ugh, as a combination of some events that happened a couple of days ago, this work grind and that I'm trying to wean myself off of excessive caffiene has been causing me to be be sluggish. I went over and fixed two things that needed fixing, but otherwise I didn't really do anything. I hope I can get out of this funk I'm in by tomorrow night, or else nothing until Sunday night possibly. (I do know what I need to pick up on and write though!) Week of 3-15 3-16 (AM): Finally completed Chapter 26. Nothing much else to say really. 3-18 (AM): Was going to write yesterday morning but I had to get that St. Patrick's Day drawing done... so I opted for tonight. Got most of Chapter 27 done except for the scene with the song, so I'll get to that the next time I get to work on it... which hopefully will be tomorrow night. Crossing my fingers here. 3-19 (AM): Did some work on Chapter 28, but not all that much. Feeling kind of lazy. :/ Still need to write song actions in Ch. 27 3-19 (Afternoon): Another slight change in the plot after detailing a little bit with AJ. It's just slight though. Didn't do any actual writing though, got tired real early today. 3-21 (AM): Did a little detailing with the log, then finally stopped procrastinating and finishing the song in Chapter 27 and getting a slight bit more of Chapter 28 done. Week of 3-22 3-22 (AM): Got the rest of Chapter 28 done finally. Now comes the true climax chapter, and probably one of the longer chapters of the story. Hopefully I get this done when I wake up later today. 3-24 (AM): This is one of the few times I actually do this, I went back to Chapter 21 to change the song lyrics. Once I write a song I usually stick with it but I found the change necessary and it fits the scene without any rewriting of the actual story bit. Then after the change I went ahead and wrote the entirety of Chapter 29. Actually... I found out that Chapter 29 would be so long if I wrote it all at once that I actually had to split it in half. So Chapter 30 is the Climax as well. Then after the help of a little bit of coffee, I finished Chapter 30. Hooray, commence falling action. 3-25 (AM): Well, I got a late start tonight, but I wrote Chapter 31 tonight in it's entirety. Not much else to say really. 3-26 (AM): I had a short day at work today, so this gave me time to do a little procrastination before I decided to write, and boy write I did. I got three chapters, Chapters 32, 33, and 34 done and out of the way. I even got the second to last song worked in. Getting very close boys and girls! Week of 3-29 3-30 (AM): I was sick from Thursday through Saturday, so I fell a little bit behind. However I'm feeling much better now so I'm back to writing. I had to go back and change a few lines but I picked right back where I left off and got Chapters 35 and 36 done, as well as even throwing in a last minute song that kind of came out of nowhere. Then I at least started working on Chapter 37... which is the final chapter. Only a half a chapter and an epilogue left to go before the writing potion is complete! 3-31 (AM): Got the rest of Chapter 37 done, and wrote the final song and epilogue! Hooray! I'm finally done! Now to begin the editing process. Week of 4-5 4-6: Made the necessary revisions to the Prologue and the first five chapters and sent them for beta reading. 4-7 (AM): Continuing overnight, I edited Chapters 6 and 7 as well. I have to go to bed early tonight though, so I forced myself to stop there though. Week of 4-12 4-12: After a few days procrastinating and work, picked back up on the editing. Started editing Chapter 8, and ended at Chapter 12. Sent Chapters 5 through 11 to be beta read. Taking a break I don't know what I'll get done overnight. 4-16 (AM): Resumed editing at Chapter 13 and ended at Chapter 20. Sent Chapters 12 - 17 off to be beta read, and received the first beta read portion back in the mail. Very cool. Week of 6-14 6-14 (AM): I realize I haven't updated this in a long time, two months in fact. I'll start picking this back up so that it's completed. I had to go back and fix up some stuff in Chapters 2, 5 and 11, through stuff that was already beta read.  Oh well, not sending it to be beta read again. One day I'll resume editing again.Week of 6-21 6-23: Alright, now it's time for me to start editing things again to be sent for beta reading again. I know I left of at Chapter 21 on the progress meter, but I had to go back and re-edit Chapters 18-20 so that it is a little better. Now I'm working on getting Chapters 21 through 23 done to be beta read and mail it off, which is now done. I'll work on the next part to be edited soon, within the next couple of days I assure you. |
