Well, several things that I've got to talk about, some ideas and just blah, lol.

What's the happs with iZod

Well for starters, I'd like to announce that iZod Chapter One WILL conclude THIS YEAR! ....How do I know this you may ask? Well for one I have most of the pages half way done, and secondly, I want to start 2010 FRESH with a NEW chapter, and third, because I AM ~Grim-Raider. Hehe...

...All joking aside, I am REALLY thankful for those who have been patiently waiting....what is it now, a span of 3 years still working on the same chapter! I want to thank you all by finally moving the story along to the next chapter! Hope I don't disappoint! iZod pages will resume updating late November!

....Secondly about the Irken Recruitment thing for iZod

...As you may recall several years ago I had an "Irken Recruitment" with IZ Original Characters, that were gonna perhaps play roles in iZod. Whelp, I'm thinking about re-recruiting IZ OCs again, because ONE I lost the list of Irkens that were recruited and TWO half of the people that I had recruited are no longer on dA or have disappeared somewhere. This beats the purpose, because if I drew their characters or included them somewhere in the story, they wouldn't even be able to see it! Know what I mean? ....This is still a ponder however, what do you guys think? I know it's mostly my fault for taking forever, but hey, if you didn't make last recruitment you might have a second chance! I will let you know what I decide momentarily!

BUT There is about 5-7 characters that have a guarantee role in iZod as I can recall; via notes, contest; If your name is not on here and I have confirmed your character to have a guarantee role, please let me know!

*ChibiXzaide and her character Nezrus (won a past contest)
*PinoyWolf and his character Krip
~Invader-Candie and her character Candie
*AKFchan and her character Pa Puru (won past contest)
~LadyDraco-WD Draco

...if you DO NOT want your character used in iZod please let me know via Note!

...Phew, that was longer than I expected, hope I haven't lost anyone. I do apologize for those who did submit IZ OCs and have been waiting, your patience will pay off soon! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to note me!

On a serious note, one of my friends on here, =doomofraven is going through rough mental and physical problems, it would be really nice if you all wished her good health and said a friendly hello! I would REALLY Appreciate IT! ...Rae, get well soon. (BTW she is iZod's editor!)
