2010.01.10. General, Site Updates. [Leave a comment?]
Happy New Year 2010 to you all!
Okay, it’s been forever since I even looked over this site.
While our director continues on posting us updates regarding the production, I’m here to give you a list of upcoming changes.
New Layout & System. A bit of bad news. The original creator of FanUpdate has abandoned the script and there’s someone else who created a whole new site for this program however the person is just hosting the latest version in which the creator left off and apparently that’s the only version that we’ll be having. There will be a new layout soon and I will be converting the system to Wordpress. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a way that we can move all the past entries to the new system so we’ll just have to start from scratch. Luckily that WP is a CMS, we can probably just add the old entries manually on another section called “FanUpdate Archives” or something, but at the moment I was able to find an SQL Injection Flaw fix to protect this site (and my server) from having an automatic SQL injection (meaning hackers can get in and corrupt and do their dirty deeds to this site and my server).
Because I’m pretty sure that many of us are sick of the pink, a new layout will be in the works. I’m just waiting for our director to create a fresh, new fan-art for the 2.0 version of VOLRP.
The new system will be totally full of awesomeness. Trust me on this one. I’ve been a major WP user for quite awhile now and I’m enjoying it. ^_^

Okay… I have an interesting story to to tell you all. Basically, in a nutshell, my Acting 11/12 class had FINALLY put on our play (written by our new teacher, by the way… x.x;;;), “Bullies, Bullets and Bolsheviks.” The teacher thinks it’s quite funny, but, let’s face it: it’s not. It just makes us girls look stupid.
Anyway, during the play, many MANY bad things happened, as well as many MANY good things. First, the good things:
1) WE ACTUALLY STAYED FOCUS!! >.< (Rehearsals would be chaotic and we would get nothing done, but once we actually started performing, the class' biggest clown would suddenly become the most focused guy backstage!)
2) The leads were amazing, and first-time actors gave it their all~! (Even a mentally-challenged student who was acting as a 1930s gangster. Despite a great distraction (I will explain in the next section), he did an AMAZING job~! ^v^ BRAVO~!
3) I didn’t miss my cue! ^v^ (I would keep missing this one cue during rehearsal because I was in a position backstage where I couldn’t hear the leads… x.x;;;)
And others… which I forgot… x.x;;;
So, now, moving onto the dreaded BAD things list:
1) One of the MAIN gangsters (who also happens to be a friend of mine, sadly) decides to try and sabotage the play for his own selfish reasons (loathing the teacher and wanting him to be embarassed infront of a portion of the school population) and SOMEHOW managed to get me and others invovled! (The lead male was pissed off and the female lead was embarrassed to the bone (her parents were watching)) Me and a couple of others wanted to scream at him.)
2) A guy forgot his lines! x.x;;; (This is what happens when a) you skip rehearsals and b) you don’t practice your lines)
3) I kept dropping my whisk backstage… x.x;;; (I’m a chef in the play)
4) I almost messed up a line. (But I prevailed!! -_-~*)
5) The audience didn’t laugh. (No wonder. Even if you say it’s a comedy, the only thing that’s going to make teenagers laugh nowadays are sexual innuendos. You’re giving them kiddy stuff! >.<)
6) Finally, the worst of them all: The director interrupted the show because of reason number 1. While I do agree that the guy was being stupid and selfish, I don’t think the director should’ve come out on stage, stopped the show, argued with the guy and then apologized to the audience for not having the show “go as rehearsed.” Times like these, you’re supposed to say, “Okay! Let’s go with that for now! (I’ll talk to him later…)” That’s what a GOOD director should do! -_-~*
Okay, personal life aside…. WE’RE BEHIND SCHEDULE!! OAO;;;;;;;;;
Oh noes… how did it get to this???? What did I do? Where are my lines, peoples!?
And where the heck is my producer…????
Oh yeah… I don’t have one; I’M the director… @A@;;;;
I guess all I can say now is… “Oh, please let this project miraculously be a success!” >.<;;;
VOLRP Director,

2009.09.10. Crew, Post-Production. [Leave a comment?]
Hello, everyone! Director @vALoN here with some post-production news!
Before my PC crashed, I managed to transfer all of the VOLRP files to a CD, including a couple of raw voice clips of a few scenes. Mostly they’re Yumi and Ulrich scenes in the “present” (because those were the only full lines that I have recieved) and I am anxious to start on the Odd and Customer scene. ^^ Just waiting for someone to nab the role of the customer, Mr. Rocard.
Once I find my discs, I will GLADLY showcase what I have so far with you! (Lost somewhere with the move… OH NOZ! >.< )
This is the director, @vALoN, signing out~! ^^
P.S. If I find spam in the comments, there WILL be hell to pay! (Just unapproved another one… x.x )
2009.08.12. . [Leave a comment?]
There’s a lot of stuff going on in my life right now. I’m working on a CL doujinshi that I must complete before I start doubting the style (again), this radioplay (of course, which doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of early lines in… *hint hint*), and the fact that we finally bought our first house.
That’s right, folks. Up until recently, my family and I have been renting out the same house for the past… what, 10 years now? We finally managed to buy a house that cost us a little over half a million, but after we fix it up, it’s sure to feel like home~ ^^ (Now do you see why I’m asking for lines until the end of August, cast?)
I just finished making a bunch of calls and filling out a bunch of online forms for our hydro, television, phone, mobile, internet, you name it. I just need to wait until dad comes home so that we can change the address on his AMEX. x.x
Now, directing-wise, life is… slow, shall we say? I’m not saying a good rest every once in a while is a bad thing, but… I REALLY need to keep myself busy or else I start having these horrible mood swings… x.x (Apparently, according to my sister, I’m bi-polar… x.x Sad thing is, she might be right.) The odd weather isn’t helping with my stress, either. Doesn’t help that I’ve been banned from video gaming for a while… a LONG while. (Ooh… and I got stuck on the Holoholo Bird and its stupid chicks in Baten Kaitos Origins again, though… x.x (That was the whole reason why I started the whole thing over again in the first place.)) So, I’m left with only three options for entertainment, since my lack of hard drive space won’t let me do much with my projects at this moment. (Saved everything onto CDs and deleted the originals on the comp for more space…. Got rid of Audacity, too.) 1) Finish reading “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” (the novel), 2) watch the rented DVDs from Blockbuster that we rent almost every night, or 3) finish watching K-ON! since Shangri-La hasn’t been updated yet… x.x
Hmm… it seems my producer has disappeared as well… not to mention that I’m missing lines. And I haven’t found a Waldo yet… Anybody know how to scout for voice actors on the VAA?
…Alright. This is the last week before I begin finalizing the cast… and crew for that matter. (It’s about time I taught Optimus how to produce tracks on Audacity.)
[ENTERING RANT MODE. BEWARE…]
Oh, and a few more things to that ANNOYING bastard who keeps requesting “brick furniture” or something? 1) STOP POSTING THOSE DAMN COMMENTS ALREADY!! (Notice how I’m “yelling?”) You know I’m just going to keep turning them down for being spam and an annoyance to all who is incharge of this site. 2) You’re an IDIOT to think that you can get away with something like this! Just because I’m a teenager doesn’t mean I’m dumb! Chances are, you’re not even reading this right now! (Why bother then? Well, it’s just in case this manages to catch your eye.) So, stop already, you understand? Because I don’t even want to SEE the words “brick” and “furniture” together again coming from the exact same address! Take your spam crap and go somewhere else! (Also, there’s NO SUCH THING as brick furniture! If they do exist, they’re probably the most uncomfortable damn things that the world has ever seen!) And pretending to be a foreigner with barely any basic English skills doesn’t help cover it up either. We’re not dumb. -.-#
[END OF RANT MODE. DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU…]
Whoo… that felt better. Sorry for those who are not the bastard who read that. Had to tell the guy somehow, right?
But seriously, if I catch that guy again, I’m gonna have to ask Adri to ban them for me… x.x
Well, this is your director, signing out~!
Sincerely,
@vALoN
