     3/22/09 -- The Wait Continues
     Naturally, as discussions ensue with Square-Enix about the fate of this project as we know it, updates and activity are fairly sparse.  The main thing that everyone is looking for is that next big update, the answer to the question: will they say yes or no?  While that determination is being made, I've decided to start what will hopefully be an interesting discussion in the CTNP Forum, which basically focuses around one central question: Should the "unthinkable" happen, what do you think the CTNP should do next?  This is a project that has existed in some capacity now for over 12 years and has positioned itself as a regular, well-known part of the Chrono community.  It is, in fact, the longest standing project still maintaining an active status and following.  Therefore, I've decided that putting this question out there publically is an entirely appropriate thing to do, regardless of what happens in the end.  For this, please refer to two locations in the forum: one for general discussion and one for a poll (be sure to go to both).

     1/12/09 -- Square-Enix Packets Sent!
     Finally, the presentation packets that I have referred to for over a year now have been shipped to the offices of Square-Enix in California and Japan.  In fact, by the time most people see this update, both packages will have already arrived.  The packets are in full representation of all that has been accomplished over the years in the CTNP, detailing every noteworthy aspect about this project and the many intricacies of the novel itself.  I personally toiled for many hours to assemble what I hope will bring light to a unique opportunity and a convincing case for this business endeavor.  The hopes, thoughts, and prayers of every fan out there during this time when Square makes their decision are certainly coveted!

     The packet itself contained a master presentation document, cover letter, packet list, copy of petitions to date, copy of beta reader survey forms, sample chapters 1-7, and reading companions for each included chapter, all put together in professional covers and nestled into a plastic document case.  After some review of these documents, I fully expect that representatives of Square-Enix will come to visit our site.  To those representatives and executives that stop in, thank you and welcome!  Please take your time with the packet and your decision.  I will patiently await your response.

     In the meantime, the project continues with business as usual.  Behind the scenes, future chapter preparation and current chapter editing continues as we endeavor to finalize the "first" book of this massive and amazing story.  A new poll has been added having to do with Frog's speech in the new Nintendo DS version of the game.  We have new Fan Art from MagusChild, both with themes featuring Magus and Zeal.  Enjoy!

     11/26/08 -- Chrono Trigger DS Forum Log, Novel Progresses, and General Updates
     Though the site has been grossly under updated (my apologies), the project itself remains in full swing.  Behind the scenes, progress is being made in the editing of chapters, and the packet for Square-Enix will be completed and ready for finalization upon receipt of all remaining "Beta Reader" surveys.

     Our CTNP Forum continues to maintain activity from several regulars, and we are currently open to any fresh ideas for keeping up the interest of all who visit.  One topic of particular interest right now pertains to all of the differences between the original SNES/PSX Chrono Trigger and the new Nintendo DS release.  Please take a few moments to check out this topic to post any differences that you spot and also discuss ones already posted.  Click HERE to go there in a new window.

     As a natural result of the new CTDS release, many may be wondering if the Chrono Trigger Novel will reflect the many changes in dialogue, names, new scenes, and otherwise.  The answer, of course, isn't black and white.  While we are still gathering notes about all of the differences (at least two Committee members are already playing it), my sense so far is that some changes will be reflected while others will not.  Many changes to dialogue will probably be used, though the game's dialogue is always subject to modification to better fit the flow of the novel and accuracy with independent retranslations of the original Japanese release.  Familiarity with both versions will be kept as much as possible.  Other changes, such as the exclusion of the species designation "Mystic," will not occur in the novel.  All of this, of course, is subject to Square-Enix's final wishes down the road.

     Finally, a few general updates have been made to the site, mostly in terms of fan submissions.  We have new Fan Art and Fan Craft submissions from MagusChild and Danny Poloskei, so please be sure to check out new inclusions such as "A Night At Crono's House," "Crono Leaping into Battle," and a Janus fan art "trading card."

     As always, enjoy...and Happy Thanksgiving!
