“Starchy curse it, Narrator! WHAT?!?”
Did you notice? Hey, hey. Did’ya? Come on. Tell me you noticed.
“Did I notice what? The site revamp?”
Yeah! That! Come on already! You’re a couple days late in making an article about it… and you call this Trending News.
“Well, excuse me, mister. I’ve actually gotta deal with real life, you know. Somebody has had midterms these past few days and the next few are no different. That’s why I’m doing this now.”
Good. If you’re ready to write now, let’s get this TNTopic on the road! Right now!
“Sheesh, you’re like a hyperactive kid today. Take a chill-pill.”
Sure, as soon as you take a warm pill. Come on, I’m getting this started now.
Hey, hey! Hello readers! How’s your past few days been? I’m doing fine, reading, procrastinating, and reading some more. Oh, and getting used to RRL 2.5.
What is RRL 2.5 you ask? Well, the powers that be have started porting us over into the age of RRL 3.0 and the current RRL you have now is version 2.5. Two days ago, at approximately 2:00 AM (PST), RRL was downed for severals hours in order to perform maintenance and upgrade the site. If you didn’t see the big forum notification box, this is what it is about.
As a side note, immediately after RRL was back up, our story skyrocketed in views! By 1400 view actually!
“Ah, the bugs. That was one of the more amusing bugs. Don’t forget that all threads got the magical 1400 views, though, so don’t think that it was just us. Everybody got them until they were fixed by our lovely RRL staff members. Additionally, the view counts on fiction pages were acting up. RRL 2.5 is still a work in progress so be sure to check out the forums for more up to date info.”

That’s right, folks. If you think that there’s anything that could be improved, be sure to submit a feedback thread and if you spot any glitches or bugs, submit a thread here. Additionally, the bugs forums may be reached through the system wide notification box which is currently posted. There is also the general forum thread “The NEW RRL” if you just want to talk about anything that’s not quite feedback for the staff or a bug for the Devs to fix.
Don’t forget, check out the RRL beta site if you want to see what’s in store for RRL 3.0. Any bugs found in RRL 3.0 can be submitted to the bugs forums linked above.
Anyways, here’s a brief overview of what’s in RRL 2.5:
Forums updated to the beta format. What you see is what you get so unless some people give feedback on improvements, it’ll mostly stay as it is right now.
User interfaces have been reformatted for both the control panel, profile accesses, and there’s more logout buttons around the place. Watch out for what you’re scrolling on for all you mobile users out there. You don’t want to accidentally log yourself out every five minutes.
Site view settings are dependent on zoom settings. If you’re on desktop, that means if you like to zoom in, you’ll be getting the RRL mobile format. There’s currently no way to change the screen detection settings so you’ll have to deal with it like j0nn0 who has usually has RRL set at 150% zoom in google chrome.
And that’s about it for the RRL 2.5 update. Anything else, oh dear Producer?
“Yes, actually. I’ve been meaning to talk about it, but there’s three new groups coming to RRL. One is pending on its name and the other two first need to decide on their theme and to gather enough members.”

Interesting. Could you tell me more about these groups?
“Sure thing. First is the [Writers of the End/Writers to the End/Works In Progress] (Name pending). The group was started by Zenlith earlier this month with the intention of becoming an author support group dedicated to helping authors continue or finish their work. It quickly gained the minimum of five members and had decided upon the name “Writers of the End”, WOE for short. We had a vote and everything. Some time last week, there was a sort of intervention and now the name is up in the air again. There is a chance for the name to change, but I still think it’ll be one of the three aforementioned group names. [WOE/WriTE/WIP]. This name change fiasco is also the theme of that link in my signature right now, 2Chunni4U. You can reach their threads over Here, Here, and Here.”
Don’t forget to mention that you’re also a part of WOE. So, what’s with the other two groups?
“One is a yuri/romance group started by AcquiHime and the group formation thread can be found here. The intent is to gather together yuri loving authors and do something. Not sure what, but I believe it will morph into a more general romance centric group. I’ll be interested in seeing what they produce because this site needs some good romance stories. The “good” is subjective. There is one confirmed member so it’s a ways to go towards unofficial group validation.”
Ooh, fluffy stories. What’s the last group about?
“The last group is being started by Waffie and is an artist centric group. Their group formation thread can be found here and the idea was started in several art threads. It’s a kind of support group thing, but for artists. There are currently two confirmed members so check it out if you’re interested.”
And I think that’s a wrap for today. See ya next time, Readers.
“Don’t forget that any suggestions and comments are welcome. Bye.”
Spoiler: After Show Show Wow, can you believe it? An actual trending news bit!
“I know, right? I was starting to think that I’d never have anything interesting or big enough to post as actual news!”
… Now what? There’s not much else to do.
“Hmm, I guess we could just follow the new groups’ status and any major developments in terms of RRL 2.5, 3.0 and the beta site.”
Sounds good.
*Dang it, another thing to tell the devs. The “hr” tag doesn’t work properly in spoilers and is set to the white theme.
Oogha-oogha, it’s the Gorrilaz!
*Disclaimer* Spoiler : Trending News (According to Narrator) is in no way, shape, or form endorsed by the RRL staff and should be treated as such. I repeat, my and Narrator’s word IS NOT the voice of RRL or its staff and should never be treated as an official source, ever.

Spiko's Journey
This is a Story of Spiko. An once normal cat, now a cat-girl. Which found herself in a new world. Searching for her home and anything that can hold her attention long enough. Join Spiko on her travels, in a world that is as unforgiving as it is breath taking. Be warned. This is a somewhat slow burn story. I expect that I will need a few chapters to get the rough outlines out there. General Info: -I really do this mostly, cause i need to freshen up my grammar and stuff. So, I will go over these chapters a lot, if I find errors (or you find them). I will mark revised chapters and what I changed in them ( if it is of importance to the story). I'm sorry for anything i might unleash onto the world. -There will be a little of everything in this. But I will never do harem stuff. Or horror just for the sake of it being horrific. No needless bad popes, bandits that rape villagers. Just for a hero to save the day. No stupid tropes. No OP Powers that can call forth doom to anyone. Spiko has Plot Armor as thick as any MC that you can't really kill off for good. But no Demon Lord will trip over a pebble, onto a peel of any fruit of choice and then die in a comedic way. When she needs saving. She's a tough cookie, which will find ways to get out of trouble (or into it). -Yes, the picture shows Spiko in her true glory. Before a lot of other stuff happened to her. And yes, Spiko is a weird Name for a cat. I'm weird. -Thoughts of Spiko are in Cursive = Why is that flower blue? -Descriptions and passive observational stuff that is coming from 3rd person view is in normal = There stood a blue flower, as Spiko shifted her wary gaze. -Distinct sounds are in bold = Swish (goes the cat paw on that blue flower!) -Talking is as always in "Hey, stop that!" -System stuff will be in tables = [Stat gain Stuff and so on] -There will be light GameLit stuff. I won't overdo it and if i do anything GameLit, it will have a reason and explanation. Do excuse the table formatting. I'm not great with word processor programs. -I'm crazy. Updates: Saturdays + whenever I feel like it (atm about 2~4 chapters a weekend + maybe weekdays. I guess?).

The Vorrgistadt Saga - Archives (2015-2018)
The world of Aelth Myrris is dying; the world-god is in her death throes. This was not caused by rampant environmental devastation, the fall-out of some cataclysmic war, nor a random happenstance of celestial events. This act of murder was entirely intentional and caused by capricious and hidden entities even more powerful than the gods themselves.The many groups that call the world-god Myrris home have been abandoned. Once proud societies are crumbling into ruin and barbarity as those with ambition vie to seize what few bits of fading power they can. Amidst this tumult, there are still some stories to be told about those few who cling to life wanting more than power and trinkets. This is the saga of those few who hope for a better future. Those few who defy the hidden entities that devour their world. Those few who refuse to be the pawns of fate.

Dream Chaser
When I was born, I was discarded as worthless for I had no sense of Energy currents. When I became the sword of the realm, I was disowned. Now that I was one vote away from passing an edict of equality between Energy users and not, I had my life’s work burned in my hands. “Who are you to change this world, silly boy?” the true ruler of the empire, the head councilman, asked me. There could only be one answer. Your son. Elecar Winteridge, 7 B.S. (Before the Scourge) ________________________________ Ragnarök, judgement day or the day of reckoning. Every religion and cult has foretellings of the final day. For most people it is just an old tale, something to frighten misbehaving children or a tool for scaring the masses. But for Shea and her world this became a despairing reality. Forests turned into deserts and seas became salt lakes. Continents were smashed together, becoming one or disappearing without a trace. The whole world was covered in the ashes of fires. When Shea awoke in her shelter, not only was she injured but everyone and everything she knew was gone. All she had left were her memories and the innate talent to use the shaping ability to aid in her survival. _________________________________ Author of Flight of Icarus Member of Scribble
