Right now we're still in the "fire vs ice" wars, moving towards a Great Illumination like the one at the end of the show, but Shamrock and batonmaster500 who lead the Sabertooth and Icebear tribes, respectively, haven't been active. So maybe you could take over the Sabertooths with your character again?  There was also recently a Second Chima Civil War, but that was more of a detour and not really relevant to the fire vs ice stuff. I'd intended it to be a "soft reboot" for the RP, with new players only needing to read Lycor and Galvanor's respective speeches to get all the necessary info, but the idea didn't really take off and it ended with me fighting myself.  It has been five years since the Fire vs. Ice story began ;-; I could try, I don't remember all my characters but rehashing them as Sabertooths should be doable. Sounds like you need therapy  Where are the speeches? I know, it's gone on much longer than I thought it would. Well I remember you had that character Fatalis, when you briefly led the Sabertooths back in 2020. I mean that I was leading both opposing factions in the final battle, though there were a couple other roleplayers involved. The speeches are here (eighth post on the page) and here (coincidentally also the eighth post).

As of now, my Chima story "Rupture" is currently 26,762 words, surpassing my previous longest story, "Retribution" (26,531 words) in length. ...I'm not even halfway through. This may end up being my first story that can be officially classified as a novel.

Yknow if you polish off any relation to Chima and make it a wholly original product, you could try to get it published It's not like anthropomorphic animal warriors fighting for territory and magic is a concept licensed by LEGO

But at least this'll give me practice writing a novel-length story.

This may end up being my first story that can be officially classified as a novel. Sure enough, it's now over 50,000 words.  I'm...roughly a quarter of the way through now, based on the outline.  In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien when he wrote LOTR, "I fear I've created a monster." Writing a story this long is as fun as it is daunting. If only there were more people here to read it. ![]:)](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/398519603308789771/605106104955043840/156398253460466517.png) This may end up being my last Chima story (let alone my last story) here, which is ironic, since it's chronologically the very first story in the Chima RP universe. If this is the last one, I'll make sure to go out with a bang, as they say.

Hopefully, gatherings once in awhile may still continue in the RP. Who knows, perhaps when the Chima Online fan project is finished, we can return to magical land once again.

Alright, having received an advertisement for the upcoming Ghostbuster film, I could not help but turn aside and glance at Sir Fangar. I suppose if you think about it, Chima freezing over and being displayed as a trophies is quite terrifying.

If this is the last one, I'll make sure to go out with a bang, as they say. Well, scratch that last part, because I've now decided to split Rupture into two stories. In viewing the outline, I noticed that parts 1-4 of Rupture tell a cohesive story with a climax and resolution, while Part 5 and the multiple epilogues (yes, it would've been that long ), despite wrapping up plot lines, also created many new ones, pretty much starting a new story arc rather than just being a conclusion. I kept adding more and more to the outline (particularly the Part 5 section) as I had more ideas I wanted to use, and that's one of the reasons I haven't been writing and posting the actual story very often. Thus, Part 5 of Rupture will instead be Part 1 of a direct sequel, so not only will I be able to focus on and complete Rupture now, it also won't be a convoluted mess that feels like multiple stories mashed together with two or three different climaxes.
