Continents and Items

I added many of the Continents today, most were completed Stories a few were open saplings. Also uploaded accompaning Images. I am notifying those who contributed these to the first site by email. I started with the "off" continets - the most used ones will take some more time - I hope to get to these later this weekend. Here is what was added:

Brangin
Arden
Malroo
Garren
Toberna

Yesterday night I plugged away until I got all the catagories for the Items Set Up.

Also at lunch I whipped out the beginning of what will be the Game design Document for Mernac, the Game.

Still a ton more to do before I begin any promotions.

Siberlee's Good is published

Today I edited and posted Siberlee's Good.

Chronologically this is the very first story of Mernac and details "creation" of the world and how the Gods came to live there. I debated on if to put it up for a few reasons - one of which it - raised a few eyebrows the first time as it painted the gods in a bit of an erotic fashion in the early years. But decided not to start sensoring because of what people might think. There are reasons why that stuff is in there - 'sides, it ain't bad reading and give some good historical background.

I also finised the image Goddess and figured out how to set up the Art Galleries.

Vickie, one of the old disciples happened acress the forum and wants to help - YAY! I posted some of her old stories in the forum for her to review so we can figure out how to fit them in quickly.

Still not ready to make any type of announcements - got a ton more to do first - but if the old Mernacians stubble by.... well I could certainly use the help.

A good Weeks Work!

Well it has been a busy busy week for me!

But I am quite pleased with the progression the new Mernac site has made. A lot of structure has been put in place.

A few additions as far as stories too. I am basically starting with The Book of Grumby – these are the stories of The Sap war period. I chose this because the first several Grumby stories were really also meant to be a primer for new Mernac readers. So I added:

Mootill
‘Splaining The Basic
The Races of Mernac
By The Gods
The Mothers and The Fathers

Separately I also added Faeries - but this is more because of a new image I did called Airianna’s Eye for Renderosity (well for Mernac but it is also on Renderosity. You can see the image in the Faerie story on Mernac.

I also posted a long long What is Mernac article along with a Terms of Service. Begun the structure of art Galleries... but I have quite a bit more work there to do.

Got a ton of Page Guides done - Sheesh those things are time consuming - but it will cut down the time needed to add content.

So we are getting there – bit by bit!!

OH and the good news!!! I made the 15th place in Renderosity’s Favorite image Art Chart with Moondance - YAY!! – also a Mernac image, but not posted to Mernac yet as the story is not done.

So little time – so much to do!

But I must say (again) – it is good to get back to Mernac!!

Mootill: First Character Story on Mernac

Things are moving along!! I have a number of the page guides completed so I will start adding some of the hundreds of stories already written for Mernac.

The first Character story was added today: Mootill

Mootill is a key character in the Sap Wars as told in The Book of Grumby during the third millenia of Mernac History.

a Short excerpt:

Mootill was a Fur from the Valley of the Gentle Ones on the island continent of Ooloo and was born on the first day of Della in 2622. As per custom, Mootill should have been known formally as Mootill Aamba, taking his father's first name as his last; this is what has been done as long as any Fur can remember. Except that his father, Aamba, was banished when Mootill was but a cub and with this banishment Aamba's name was never to be spoken again. So Mootill has but a single name and will always be remembered in history, simply as: Mootill.
