   Quick Question
Yo everybody. Sorry to post something so short, but I need to get back to my political cartoon research (see post below). So today, I'll just ask you guys a quick question. In Japanese, what does it mean if you add "-kun" or "-chan" to the end of someone’s name? People here have been calling me "Logan-kun", and I wanted to find out what that meant. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Good News!
Yo! Guess what, I have some great news! Flueky's uncle is off the resparater and they are not gouing to amputate! Is'nt that great!? Thank you to everyone who kept her in your prayers, you guys are awesome. I'm sorry for the recent lack of posts, and I regret to say that atleast untill after Nov. 4th I won't be submitting much artwork. I must first draw a picture for my dad's birthday, and I also have a project in history. But, this project is right up my alley! Why? Because I get to draw some Political cartoons! I love doing that! (Heh heh heh, Michel Moore is about to recieve a swift, hard blow to the ego) *Ahem* Anyway, as you know, Ghost Hunter is about ghosts, so I may be able to squeeze in a Halloween pic or 2 between now and Nov. 4th, plus, I have a ton of Ghost Hunter concept art that needs scanning. So please be patient, because good things come to those who wait. :)

   Got Any More Room In Your Prayers?
Hello everyone. I'm sorry to keep unloading all these depressing events on you, and I'm sorry to postpone the Q&A another day. But someone needs your help and prayers. An Otaku member called zeldadeath has a friend that is on the brink of suicide. Along with Flueky, please keep zeldadeath in your prayers, as I will to. Just think of it as a special request to God for his protection. If we keep those two in mind, I'm sure God will watch over them and keep their friends and families safe. Thanks everybody. Oh, and by the way, the first Q&A of my manga should be the first post in my archives if you haven’t seen it. Thanks again.

   Spread the Word.
Yo. I'll post round 2 of my Q&A tomorrow, but right now I have to send a message around. Flueky's uncle was hit by a car on the interstate. You can read the full story on her site. (She's on my friend list). We should pray for her and her uncle. Please spread this message around and pray for her tonight. Thanks everyone.

   You Asked, I Answered!
Yo everybody! Here is the basic Q & A for my manga! But we're not quite through yet, I need you to ask more questions! After reading this, please please please send me some more questions to answer, and in the meantime, I'll work on some manga artwork to post! Well, her you go!

Q: What’s the name of your manga?

A: The final official name is still being decided, though the most likely choice for the name is Ghost Hunter.

Q: What is the genre?

A: The genre of my manga will be sci-fi, but is set in the modern present. It will also include some horror elements, as well as heavy doses of action and comedy.

Q: What is the basic plot?

A: To simplify it as much as I can, Ghost Hunter is about ghosts, and a team of meta-humans that try to keep the ghost phenomenon under control.

Q: What is a ghost?

A: According to my manga, a ghost is an entity from another dimension. They have an extreme variety of abilities and power levels, so when they seep into our dimension they can cause a lot of trouble. Ghosts have been seeping into our dimension since the first haunting was ever discovered, but only recently have the rifts between our dimension and theirs become so big that ghosts can wreak their full potential for mayhem on us.

Q: What do ghosts do when they escape into our dimension?

The actual activity depends on how smart the ghost is, but the effect of the activity is pretty much always bad. They will usually destroy property, blow up buildings, terrorize people, murder, steal and generally do anything they can to have fun and raise hell.

Q: Where is this all taking place?

A: Minor ghost activity (the ones that we are used to, just your general hauntings) occurs all over the world. But this “major” ghost activity, where ghosts freely and completely seep into our dimension, seems to only take place in one particular city. And that city is the setting for my manga.

Q: What is a meta-human?

A: When ghosts seep into our dimension, they do it via something called a “dimensional rift”. These are gateways between this dimension and the ghost dimension, that ghosts use as a doorway to our dimension. These openings are short-lived, unpredictable and almost completely undetectable to the naked eye. There could be an inter-dimensional portal in the center of your living room and you may not even know it. When ghosts use these portals, they release undetectable but potent radiation into our dimension. This reacts with human cells and genetic structure, which causes a bizarre change in the genetic make-up. Over a period of months exposed to “ghost radiation”, a meta-human reaction may take place. This is a rare reaction where the human develops strange new super-human abilities due to a genetic mutation from the radioactive waves. These powers can range from pyrokenesis to electro-magnetism to turning into a giant purple monster with super-human strength. However, meta-human reactions only take place in about 2% of people, and only that percent in the city of the setting. Each of the main characters in my manga is a meta-human.

Q: Why do dimensional rifts and meat-human reactions only take place in one particular city?

A: The reason is yet unclear. It is possible that the city is located on an “inter-dimensional hot spot”, or maybe ghosts just prefer that city. No one knows for sure. ^_^

Q: Who are the characters?

A: Most of the good guys are based on people I know, to have a guiding force for their emotions and actions. Here are the main good guys (there will be even more in the future): JD, Logan, Andrea, Josh, Megan, Drew, Tomas and Jess. Later, if you want, I’ll tell you there super-powers, code names, and relations to each other.

Q: Can I see your manga when it’s finished?

A: I’m just starting on my manga, so there nay be a small wait until I have a “page to page” manga ready to post. First I need to get my story straight. However, if you are interested in this manga, you can expect to see plenty of concept art and even plenty manga pages as I get the whole thing put together. So no worries!

   Sorry Everybody, and Thanks for Lending him your Support.
Geez, I feel like the friggn' suicide errand boy. I sorta feel a little guilty for it. Again, I'm sorry for sending you guys into a rushed panic. But please understand, it really was an emergency. No word on Ancient Iruka's condition yet, but I'll tell you guys in the event of a change. Anyway, I'm sorry for postponing the answers to your questions about my manga. I'll answer them in tomorrow's post, so if you have anymore questions, please ask! I need more to answer!

   Someone Help Me! Please Read!!! It's an Emergency!!!
I know I said I post the answers to your questions today, but that woll have to wait, we have an EMERGENCY!!!!!! This is completely insane. This is the message from Ancient Iruka's site:

"Many of you will wonder I added this post. Many of you will think that I am seeking attention, but you are wrong. I just wish to thank everyone for visiting my page and commenting. Thanks to you who considered me a friend. I've decided to perish from this world. I do not know the exact day, but it will come eventually. I know it's rather selfish but I can't stand it anymore. I just want it all to end! Everything! Being dead means all of that is gone.....but it also brings troubles for the people who cared for you. I don't know who I am anymore or what I am...I'm afraid to know. Im afraid of rejection. So, I wish to bid you adieu and thank you for being there for me....goodbye everyone, take care, and I hope your life will turn out ot be fortunous. Please, do not worry about me, don't bother commenting, because I never existed to begin with...goodbye"

This is BY FAR the most serious to date. If we don't help him (and fast) he may be dead before we know it. He's going to kill himself unless we do something. PLEASE DO ANYTHING YOU CAN TO HELP HIM OUT! This is some serious crap people, he needs us BAD.

   Ask Away!
Sup? The PSAT's went fine today. Thanks for your support. I don't have much to post about, so I'll just ask you guys something. Would you care to here about my manga that I'm working on?

I'll post the answers next time I post! Thank you, and please feel free to ask!

   The Spreading, Plus, the PSAT.
Yo. Good news everybody! SILVER TIGER is feeling better now! Again, thanks for visiting her site, you guys really made a difference. But first off, I want to apologize for sending you guys into panic mode. I didn’t want to unload all that pressure and worry on you guys, but, the thing is...suicide is about as serious as it gets. We've recently come close to losing allot of friends, it's like depression and sadness are becoming an epidemic. Vankala 86 got dealt a HEAVY emotional pounding, Duzell has her own death planned out and ready to kill herself, a kid in princesskagome05's neighborhood got shot a friggin' 9 times in the face and her brother gets jumped at school, Honoto's in the hospital while the condition of her health is still unclear, and SILVER TIGER comes within a hair's breath of the edge. *sigh*, it's just all so sad. And if this all wasn't bad enough, I've got the PSAT tomorrow. Any advice you guys can give me?
