For fucks sake!! Heaps of people got the answer to the puzzle last month, but did any of them think to try and beat Wrath before he commented before everyone!? What's that? No? Well screw you ya smug gits~!
So for those out of the loop, the answer to last months puzzle was in fact Omega natsu2, the answer obtained by reading the prompt in relation to the letters in his username :) And Wrath... won... again... *glares at someone so hard they turn to stone*
Anyways, quite a few people requested that I make puzzles that aren't necessarily to do with just users, rather things to do with the Fairy Tail series in general. I will listen, so this months puzzle could be about anything Fairy Tail, wiki or otherwise. The best of luck, and... please... just someone answer before Wrath does ( .__.)~ I'll start out easy so you all have the chance to...
Your prompt is:
"We are sort of the same, but different at heart. A one letter difference can tell us apart. Who are we?"
After a hefty debate that I honestly didn't really read, we removed Cobra and Laxus from the list of Dragon Force users, as it was realised they were never stated to have actually gone into Dragon Force in the first place.
Leli tried to get the Volume template changed slightly, but ended up making us all just realise the entire template was ugly as heck... and then force him and the rest of the DOD to remake it :3
Millianna's quote was voted upon and changed for the benefit of everyone everywhere, because her current was horrid in so many ways.
There is apparently some discussion about the Oración Seis' status going on, but no one is saying anything because I think we've all decided to wait. Ah well :/
One of Lisanna's spells was discussed and its named changed. If I actually cared about Lisanna in any way, I might have bothered voting...
There is a very long-winded, confusing and annoying discussion going on about Angel's Magic. If you want your voice to be heard and argued against until you have no idea what you're even debating any more, head there and say something.
This month's Sexiest Mage Alive is the world's creepiest chick, Flare Corona! Flare is a former Dark Mage of Raven Tail and soon to be member of the Fairy Tail Guild that uses Hair Magic as her main form of combat. At the 33rd Annual "No Pain, No Pleasure" convention she was dubbed the S&M Queen for her creative use of her hair as a form of bondage, which she demonstrated on Lucy in the Grand Magic Games... and no, I did not make this up to fill up space. ;)
(Flare Corona) to (Hiroshi) "This hair is my pride and something that I received from the blessings of the Eternal Flame... "
S&M FTW!
Stop looking at my breasts! I'm trying to apologize...
Keep in mind that somewhere in this article there is some small puzzle (it could be a question or something totally random) that, if solved, will grant you one of the following:
I will make you mod for a day.
De-power any mod of your choosing for an hour.
Block anyone of your pleasing for 30 minutes.
Previously on Fairy Tail
Hmmm...right, so, previously on Fairy Tail...I can't remember. I can't even remember what I did this morning. And do you want to know why? Because time is freaking flying! Holy cow in a batman costume, it's already 2013. Wait, what? 2014?! Impossibru! Okay, so back to Fairy Tail: It was pretty much the closure of the prologue, which ended terribly. Here's to hoping the upcoming parts make up for that terrible prologue.
II- Chapter 363: The Stories That Demons Read
Get ready to see the lovely face of Ichiya's twin, just a little better looking, when you open the chapter! Ladies and pigs in the audience, we have your favorite Exceed! The one that sniffs you out until you punch him: Nichiya! A testament to Hiro's limited imagination. The cat-man is another user of the Aera Magic, and loves Ichiya; disliking smelly things. Hmm, yeah, that's all there is to know about the cat.
“Please MakaSexMachine!!! Lemme be on the same team as my brother!!! T^T”
Many color pages later...we have the young Makarov having PM sex with non other but the sexy Ice Wizard, Gray...wait, what?? Joking~ Jeezus, we all know Gray is not sexy. But any who, Juvia informs Makarov that someone really went wild, the town where they are located being sliced up...like, everywhere. Even the fucking sky had a cut in it. Young MakaSexMachine then moves on to IronStudGajeel, asking him if Belno is okay. She is more than okay, however. She's in heaven. ANYWAYYYYYYSSSSS, we move on to DamnButThatAssThoLisanna as she and Elfboy are inside a councilor's home.
“And that's when Lisanna knew...She fucked up.”
When Elfboy thinks that old dude is dead, it turns out that he is very much alive! Opening his creepy as fuck eyes and destroying the Gastrea in Lisanna's hands. "Fear... Is that what this feeling in my heart it... Clue: Villain" AND then BAM! A sexy Demon lady appears, holding a book, looking sexy. However, Wrath would TRY to kill me if I were to look at his woman the way I look at Kagura. So let's forget all about her hawtness.
Okay, so everything turns to blah blah blah, until Sayla takes control of Elfman (who uses that arm way too much) and makes him strangle Lisanna to death.
**SPOILER***
EXCEPT THAT THE BITCH SOMEHOW STAYS ALIVE FOR TWO WHOLE WEEKS! >_>
Moving on...we see BobLucyAssFilia talking to SexMachineMakarov, they talk and talk about how much they hate Umnei and wish he'd fall inside a volcano until the cat Michello reveals that Tartarus is after Face, which is a weapon that can nullify all Magic! Oh no! So Natsu decides to grab him and ask him where Face is, but he only knows that it was linked to three councilors (but doesn't know which). Shortly afterwards, Mira and Enju can be seeing riding on Santa's free bus to school everyday; heading to the former Chairman's house. Hiro says, and I quote, "The Most Reliable Duo." Let's just see how long this awesome pair lasts.
III – Chapter 364: Tartarus Arc, Part 1: Sins and Sinners
*Heads to MangaStream* So with Blue Pegasus gone, Kagura is sure to appear next! *Opens link* NOOOOPE MOTHERFUCKING NO, NO KAGURA. WELPS, I SAID, THIS MEANS NEXT WEEK FOR SURE! HAHAHA
So this week our cover is a color picture of the happenings of last chapter, with the most coolest being Lisanna's strangle dilemma! I don't hate her, I just do it for Carry. So anyway, we also get a color page of Mira and Erza getting off of Santa's free bus ride, with Mira asking Erza if she would like some private time to do the dirrty with Jellal. Erza says no, because Jellal will die and she doesn't want to be an only mother. Jk jk, they arrive to the Chairman's home, who is Santa's brother, and drink some tea. There, the they being to question the big man, but he knows nothing.
“Picture: Wait...what am I doing here? I don't belong here!!! Herupu! D:”
After a small conversation, Erza and Mira sexily get up and ready for battle. And then we get a pretty awesome scene of Mira and Erza using their respective Magic to take on the herd of soldiers entering the home. Mira and Erza then begin their assault on the soldiers, easily killing them and giving us an epic scene. Elsewhere, Lisanna's dumb ass is still being strangled by Elfman, because the bitch doesn't know what a snake is. >_>
Elfman cries, asking the scary lady to release his sister. Sayla however, just gives him a scary glare. SO ANYWAY, somewhere in Australia, Doranbolt released the Oración Seis. Brain is...ALIVE! Who could have predicted this, huh? So on top of some Australian mountain, Cobra snaps and kills Brain. So much for him being alive. So Midnight turns around, with his sassy lipstick and says he doesn't give a shit. And then Jellal appears. Anyway, blah blah Jellal and Meredy. ( ._.) Meanwhile, at the graves of the XCouncilors and his wife Laharla, Dora thinks about Jellal...da fag. And then we move on to Natsu, who miraculously senses that Mira and Erza are in trouble. At the scene of the battle, Mira and Erza are kicking ass. What could go wrong? Welps, when they finish kicking some asses, they fall unconscious. And who is there to pick them up but the XChairman!!! Meanwhile, flying through the air, Natsu tells Happy that he believes there is a spy among them!!! Hurry Natsu, HURRY NOT!
IV – Chapter 365: Fairy in the Jail
An awesome color page we get yes we do. The Fairy Tail characters gather and wish us a Happy New Year! How can you not love Hiro for this? Eh? He's amazing. We flip the page and we don't see a Kagura cover...Let's ignore all 'em motherfuckers on this cover. ^_^
BUT WAIT YOU ANIME FANS!!! We get the restarting date of the Fairy Tail Anime! Well, more like the year and month, but still; hooray! April 2014, really looking forward to it along with Black Bullet. 2014 will be an exciting year for me and everyone else who lives on the internet. Nothing much is really changing, just the character designer and one of the studio is also changing. Tbh, I'm glad...because some of the last people were just...ugh. So anyway, we have Natsu looking a bit different, pretty much like manga Natsu. And Lucy looks like movie Lucy. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind movie Lucy, but I would prefer old Lucy any day. Movie Lucy...I just dunno. Okay, enough good new, on to the chapter!!!
Natsu arrives to the former chairman's house and sees the aftermath of the battle, he quickly moves into the house and sees a wreckage. But he suddenly finds a tea cup...on the floor. Yeah... After sniffing it for a bit, he denotes that it must be SLEEPING HERBS, and thinks what they are doing to Mira as he investigates with his nose. Then suddenly, he punches the house and destroys the entire shit. He smells Erza and Mira's scent so he can look for their whereabouts.
At Tartarus, Erza is...stripped naked.
RATED M MATERIAL AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!
“If you complain about girls naked, WHAT THE FUCKING HELL HAVE YOU BEEN READING THE PAST 364 CHAPTERS???”
With Magic Sealing Stones around her hands and feet, Erza struggles as Kyouka approaches her with a whip. Erza questions where Mira is, but the evil woman just tells her that Mira is being turned into one of them. Erza tells her NOT TO, BUT SHE DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT. So then out of the nowhere Kyouka asks Erza where Jellal is, leaving her in pure shock. Meanwhile, Jellal confronts the OS alone, leaving Meredy out...I wanted to see her in action tbh. Any who...when the battle starts, Jellal completely dominating them, he begins to call them all by their real names. All of their names are weird as fuck and I won't even bother... But anyway, Angel turns out to be non other than Sorano! Yuki's sister.
So back to raping Erza, Kyouka reveals that Jellal is one of the former councilors tied to Face. Erza however, tells her that she doesn't know where Jellal is, but begs for Mira to be released. Kyouka's evil ass doesn't give a shit and keeps torturing her. Whilst the continue to have their lil rape section, Santa and Ball Demon walk around the halls talking about Natsu's shit. That's when Natsu appears...breaking the dude's mouth and, already, half of Tartarus... In other rooms, Kyouka, Silver and Keith hear this, not very happy...let's hope Natsu does not beat them and take Mira/Erza with him...
V – Fairy Tail x Seven Deadly Sins
So thanks to MangaStream *Burns MangaStream* I'll be able to give you guys one extra section!
On the cover: Natsu, with a scar similar to Gray's, Happy, a pink pig and a a boy from the Seven Dead Sins Manga are celebrating Christmas. Christmas Special!!!
“I'm not food!”
So in Magnolia town we have three new visitors! Meliodas, Elizabeth and Hawk. They walk around town talking about Christmas and what they want. Eli (I'm not gonna write out her whole name...) asks Mel for a talking cat! And shockingly enough, our Cat appears talking to the talking Pig! Eli grabs him and hugs him, making the pig all jelly. The pig runs away from home, and Eli is sad over this. But Mel starts looking for him around town, coming across Erza! He then finds him inside a meat store. Lol, he grabs him and takes him back to Eli. So anyway, some random characters, looking sexy, appear and throw a party!!
Now Fairy Tail. Natsu and Happy walk in the snow when they see a man entering the Fairy Tail building through the chimney...Happy convinces Natsu that the man is non other than Sunder Clause. Natsu jumps up and attacks the man! Destroying half of Fairy Tail. Now, I don't know about you guys...but I lol'd like there was no tomorrow. The presents fly into town, with Maka angry at Natsu whilst everyone stands there~
Welcome to the latest issue of The Earth Land Chronicles. This article will a relatively sarcastic overview of things in the Fairy Tail series, which will probably be presented in chronological order. This could include main villains, Dragon Slayers, Celestial Spirits, probably in the order they were revealed. Our first series will be the story arcs of Fairy Tail, with an arc being done each month. So let's continue with the Key of the Starry Sky arc.
MORE SEX!
Yeah, whatever. Welcome back, people. We now continue what is the manga's longest arc to date, the Grand Magic Games arc.
So, after getting their asses summarily kicked in the GMG so far, Fairy Tail decides to celebrate at a bar. Cause, y'know, you've gotta party hard even if you lost. However, this did give us a great intro to one of the upcoming character: Bacchus. A dude who used to be on par with Erza 7 years ago and now has decided that because he outdrank and already-drunk Cana, he gets to take her bra top as a prize. Man, can you imagine if he'd had a contest with a dude and took his shirt as a prize? Holy crap, I just thought of a funny ass story XD
Follow the leader!
Well, the first event of the 2nd day is Chariot and Bacchus is competing along with Natsu, Sting Eucliffe, Gajeel Redfox, Kurohebi from Raven Tail and several others whom nobody cares about. So now, Mashima has decided that upon reaching a certain level, all Dragon Slayers will experience motion sickness, including Laxus apparently. Anyways, cue some nakama speech, Natsu comes in 6th place to get 2 points for his team, followed by Gajeel in 7th to get 1 point and Sting in last place, getting 0 points. Oh, how he is gonna regret that in the future.
The first battle of the day is Toby from Lamia Scale vs. Kurohebi. The agile black snake has no problem evading Toby's moves but what gets the attention is when they propose a bet, to find out Kurohebi's real name and to reveal Toby's biggest secret. SO, Toby loses and he has to reveal his secret. Apparently, he lost a sock 3 months ago and hasn't been able to find it. Of course, it's right in plain sight and this dog boy didn't look in a mirror for the past 90 days or so. What's hilarious here is Kurohebi ripping the sock to shreds shortly after, causing Toby to basically swear lifelong hatred against him for it.
Be a man!
Next is Elfman vs. Bacchus and Bacchus says that if he wins, he gets a night with both of Elfman's sisters. Naturally, this pisses off Elfman, who decides that he's gonna kick Bacchus' ass. However, what happens is anything but as Elfman is the one who gets his ass kicked and beaten up on. Nicely though, he decides that if he wins the battle, he gets to rename Bacchus' team "Quatro Puppy" for the rest of the games. So, then the fight gets serious and with his new takeover "Lizardman" (no, not the crappy anime-only type) he manages to beat Bacchus basically by preventing himself from being hurt too badly, or at least as badly as possible, thus winning his team 10 points and disappointing Team Quatro Puppy.
Bacchus is disappointed as well since he doesn't get Elfman's sisters, but we all know how his night went.
The next battle is this super-sexy contest between Mirajane and Jenny from Blue Pegasus. It's pretty much a battle of who looks the best in the most basic of fetish clothing ranging from thigh-highs to teachers clothes. The anime decides to ecchi this up by adding in just about every girl in the series who's present into the roster of contestants here and adds a ton of them in awkwardly-drawn poses with ill-fitting clothes and over-detailed bodies. But that's not the worst of it, oh no. The anime just has to overdo it and make us all vomit by introducing Ooba Babasaama into the contest, completely killing the atmosphere both in the anime and in our lives. But ultimately, everyone leave, Mirajane beats up Jenny via Satan Soul Sitri and wins 10 points for her team. Awesomely, she wins the bet that Jenny had proposed: loser poses naked for the Sorcerer Magazine. Oh how the men wish this were immediate.
Don't try to look up her skirt, guys. It's pointless.
The final fight of the day is Kagura of Mermaid Heel vs. Yukino from Sabertooth. Anyone who expected this to be a curbstomp in favor of Sabertooth surely must've been surprised as it was more or less the opposite with Kagura easily beating Yukino's two Zodiac spirits. Yeah, she's a Celestial Spirit Mage and even has the 13th "secret" key to Ophiuchus but even that can't beat Kagura as she cuts through it like a knife to hot butter, winning the match and also the bet that her life now belongs to Kagura.
As such, Fairy Tail's gone up in the rankings and Sabertooth achieved a staggering 0 points that day. Man, was this hilarious in a way. Anyways, that's the end of the 2nd day of the games, and somehow, Jellal still can't sense that mysterious Magic he usually senses.
But, that's the end of this edition of ELC! That's all for this portion of the Grand Magic Games arc! Fairy Tail has really taken an upswing in the rankings, haven't they? Join us next month as we continue to look at Fairy Tail's largest arc (to date).
Till then!
Best Quote of this part of the Arc
"I haven't relied on luck since the instant I was born. Everything has been the result of my choices. That is what leads my existence towards the future." - Kagura Mikazuchi to Yukino Aguria in Chapter 280
Okay, firstly I'd like to apologize for the hateful slander slanded (yes, I just made up that word) against me last month by a certain British-Aussie who was PMS'ing at the time. ;) Secondly, I'd like to apologize for not making my articles last month. I had a lot on my plate and I just wasn't able to make the articles like I thought I would be able to. You'll be glad to know that this month, not only did I finish my articles, but I finished them early. Yes, boys and girls. For once, Jak was not late. Anyhow, enjoy the interview and MERRY CHRISTMAS! <singsongyvoice>and a happy New Year!!!!</singsongyvoice>.
If you marked yes, feel free to post ideas below.

Hello everyone! Today we will be interviewing the fruit of my loins. My third and youngest son, ChokokuguzaNoTobira!
IamJakuhoRaikoben: Tell us a little about yourself. ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Whoa. O_o Who would have thought that I would be here..? Oh well, fine. Wiki wise, as most of the users know, I am well known as Choko, and Haru by some. I am usually goofing around with people, and stalks the wiki most of the time. Real life wise; I am a talkative fake redhead who does nothing the whole day but to eat, sleep, internet and play games on my gadgets given to me by mah Papa Jakky my Mom. :D I sometimes jog in the afternoon when I feel like it. :D
IamJakuhoRaikoben: How did you first discover the Fairy Tail Wiki? ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Well, let me share a background story first. I first discovered the anime when I was on my 3rd year in college; I was so desperate for a new anime to watch, and my classmate introduced me Fairy Tail. He gave me a copy of 12 episodes, and I was delighted the first time I saw it. Okay, so on episode 3, when Lucy made her contract with Plue, I was curious about the things she's chanting (like what she also did with Virgo) before opening Plue's gate. I tired searching for it, but I failed. Then somewhere along my search, I stumbled an article about Celestial Spirits, which made me see the wiki. Since then, I kept stalking it for months. :)
IamJakuhoRaikoben: What 5 tips would you give new users on the wiki? ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Hmm. I actually learned the hard way to be the Choko that I am right now. So the tips that I will give you would come from my experience:
Observe. In my opinion, this is the first thing that every user should do. This is how I made my way into the wiki, after all. I quietly observed how things should be done, I observed how the wiki operates, I observe everything that flows inside the wiki. If you want to be a good editor (or at least a good user), know how to observe. That way, you'll get the hang of the ropes of the wiki. You can never go wrong by observing things. While observing, do..
Read. Second thing that could help you would probably be reading. You should read, if possible, all of the things that is present around the wiki, and from there, you'll gain knowledge. If you made the first step, reading would help you understand better the things you have observed. And speaking of reading, please read the policies. The wiki wont set it up for nothing. If you receive a warning, read it too, and try your best to understand it all. One example: I learned how to license my photos by reading the warnings, and learned how to reference by reading the instructions provided on one of the wiki's guilds, the Referencia Guild. But If you can't, or rather, don't want to read..
Ask. There's nothing wrong with asking. It is much more better to ask things that you don't understand or have no idea of doing, rather than thinking that you can but ends up failing. Most of the users in the wiki would gladly assist you in every way possible if you need their help. Though please try to solve things by yourself at first before asking, so that you wont bother people too much. For you to ask, of course you have to..
Speak. You are not alone in the wiki, let your voice be heard. We have tons of friendly and accommodating users that you'll meet once you enter the wiki. Try to speak more often and I'm sure, you will be noticed. If you have an opinion over something, never be afraid to put your two cents in it, provided that you wont rage, harass or hurt other users. If there's something you want to say, say it nicely, even though you're already at the peak of your emotions. And especially, talk to people, like I usually do! XD And lastly..
Be respectful. Respect begets respect in return. Nuff said.
PS: Editing is neither mandatory, nor an obligation. Don't stress yourself too much for having a low edit count, or not being in par with the wiki's superb editors. Even if you don't edit, there are still lots of things you can do in the wiki, such as participating in the blogs or in some of the discussions.
IamJakuhoRaikoben: How does it feel to be a Raikoben? ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Well.. I actually didn't expect to be a Raikoben, honestly. XD I was actually the 10,564th child of Papa Reli, but somewhere along my journey, I became a Raikoben because of you.. And well, it feels amazing. Of course you're rich, so I usually get all the things I ask of you, specifically cake since you always have one on the fridge. Hence, why you're fat. Mwuahahahaha ~ IamJakuhoRaikoben: ಠ_ಠ ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Ahahaha.. ^_____^; Kidding aside, it's a very wonderful feeling because Papa Jakky is a good Papa! \( ^_____^)/ Ah, wait for a minute.. *goes into the corner*
ChokokuguzaNoTobira: MDM-nii, is my script good enough? >_> Monkey.D.Me: Add more lies! Make it sound like RaiPa is a good man! I still have to pay him back for calling me Momo.. Dat name.. AAAAAH! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ ChokokuguzaNoTobira: But, but.. I will be burned in hell when I lie too much! Monkey.D.Me: No worries, I can bribe Satan to lower your suffering when you're in there! I got your back li'l brother. ( *^*)/ ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Should I be happy with that? >___> Oh well, in that case let us add-
*Jak appears*
IamJakuhoRaikoben: Die, scumbags! ಠ_ಠ *hits Nunu and Momo with a steel bat*
IamJakuhoRaikoben: Where does your username come from? ChokokuguzaNoTobira: The story on this one is on my profile.. Go see it! :)
IamJakuhoRaikoben: *goes there* Liar, I see nothing but cookies! >_> ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Don't be silly, my profile has.. Oh yeah, I changed it a while ago.. ( ._.) Well.. Ehem! It came from.. wait, I can simply copy and paste it here, right..? IamJakuhoRaikoben: Haha, idiot.
Anyway.. *copies and pastes it* When I finally decided to register in this wiki, I cannot think of any good username. I have the tendency to panic when such case arises. So, funny (and weird at the same time) it may seem, I became restless in front of my desktop and started panicking. So as a result, the things beside me started to fall, such as my phone, my phone's protective case, watch, and even some of my treasured Celestial Keys. And it happened that one of the things that fell from my computer table was the mini Caelum key that I always use to RP. (Yeah I RP in real life, so shut up) So as I pick it up, I remember how Angel summons it: "Hirake, Chokokuguza no Tobira, Kaerumu!" and. from there.. From that thought.. Choko is born! \( ^_____^)/
IamJakuhoRaikoben: Lame.. =___= I should have asked a better question.. ChokokuguzaNoTobira: HEY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PAPA JAKKY WEIGHS? IT'S- *Jak puts scotch tape on Nunu's mouth* Mmmmpgh! DX Mpppgh! DX DX IamJakuhoRaikoben: What a very wonderful story you got there, son! :D
IamJakuhoRaikoben: If you had to pick your favorite sibling, who would you choose? ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Tough question.. I like every sibling that I have.. I guess it would be- Omega natsu2: Of course, Choko would pick me! I am hawt. :3 ChokokuguzaNoTobira: And what's the connection of that..? =____= Wrath022: Silly Mega, I'm hawter, so it's probably me! ChokokuguzaNoTobira: So what's the connection..? ToshiroFanGirl: Hey, if Choko-nii had to pick, it would probably be me~! I introduced him to Mommy Daddy Leli, after all! \( *^*)/ ChokokuguzaNoTobira: You have a point there, Toshi-nee.. I guess it's- Mintaro: Hold a damn minute! It's me! I'm cute, so no one can resist me! Monkey.D.Me: *drags Choko in a corner* Pick me and I will give you tons of hair dye.. Plus a ticket to a country that you like.. >___> But you have no return ticket.. AuroraOfDeath: How about me..? ( ._.) ChokokuguzaNoTobira: I'm out of here.. IamJakuhoRaikoben: The interview's ain't over yet! And answer my damn question! ChokokuguzaNoTobira: I guess I'll let them fight with each other, and whoever survives would be my favorite sibling.. =_____=
IamJakuhoRaikoben: Who's your favorite father? ಠ_ಠ ChokokuguzaNoTobira: What the fuck Papa, putting me on a troublesome situation again.. >___> Guess you wont take no as an answer, right? IamJakuhoRaikoben: Damn straight. ಠ_ಠ ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Ugh.. ._. Guess it would be-
Relikz: Me, of course! Right Munchy? IamJakuhoRaikoben: Who told you to be here? ಠ_ಠ And it's me! And it's Nunu! Relikz: No, it's me! IamJakuhoRaikoben: I said it's me! Relikz: He's my 10,564th child! IamJakuhoRaikoben: He's a Raikoben! Relikz: Slut! IamJakuhoRaikoben: Whore! Relikz: I am a better father! IamJakuhoRaikoben: I am ten times better! No, a hundred fold better than you do! Relikz: Fine, let him answer! IamJakuhoRaikoben: Fine by me! Relikz and IamJakuhoRaikoben: *faces Choko* *in sync* HEY NUNU/MUNCHY, WHO IS IT!?
*The two sees their kid eating ice cream*
ChokokuguzaNoTobira: *looks at the two with a derpy face* Eh? P: Relikz: What are you doing..? ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Can't you see? I am eating ice cream. >____> IamJakuhoRaikoben: And where did that came from? FairyRaven: From me. ಠ◡ಠ IamJakuhoRaikoben: Go away! Relikz: Don't give Munchy ice cream! FairyRaven: Shut up, both of you are silly fathers! IamJakuhoRaikoben and Relikz: WHAAAT!? *glares* ಠ_ಠ FairyRaven: Bring it on!
ChokokuguzaNoTobira:Sigh.. *goes in a corner* Okay wiki guys, while those three bicker, let me tell you. It's- IamJakuhoRaikoben, Relikz and FairyRaven: WHO!? ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Aaand there you have it folks, now you know! :D Wiki: WHAAAT!? We didn't heard it, let alone understand it! ಠ_ಠ ChokokuguzaNoTobira: *whistles and walks away*
*The three resumes on bickering*
ChokokuguzaNoTobira: *in a corner* What a bunch of immature fathers. >___>
IamJakuhoRaikoben: Y U NO ACTIVE ON WIKI?! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) ChokokuguzaNoTobira: What, you miss my endless pestering? :P Well.. The actual reason is I lost the passion I once had with wikia. ( ._.) And as most of you know, there's that I stopped every manga that I read, including FT. Then I stopped coming and editing on every wikis that I am in. I really don't know why, everything just happened one day. But like what I always tell people, you can always send me a message whenever you need me, and I'll appear, given that I am not sleeping or away from home. XD Though I'll openly admit that you can often spot me on OP Wiki chat. ( ._.)
IamJakuhoRaikoben: I firmly believe that stalking is an unhealthy habit. Care to respond? ಠ◡ಠ ChokokuguzaNoTobira: Well then, starting this point onward, I wont call it stalking anymore. It would be now named as informing my self, and it's not bad to feed yourself with knowledge, right? Besides, you only say that because you're afraid of being discovered, Papa Jakky. ಠ◡ಠ IamJakuhoRaikoben: I fear nothing! I am a Raikoben! ChokokuguzaNoTobira: In that case, I'll paste here a copy of our conversation in- IamJakuhoRaikoben: *hits Nunu with a steel chair* You will pay for this big time.. ChokokuguzaNoTobira: *falls unconscious*
IamJakuhoRaikoben: How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? ChokokuguzaNoTobira: It's Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled pepper. So if Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled pepper, lemme ask you, where's the peck of pickled pepper Peter Pipper picked?
Well, there ya have it folks. Nunu seems to be a bit delusional about a few things....like his father's weight. Anyhow, next month we will be interviewing...somebody! Who is this mysterious somebody? Tune in next time to see! Don't miss it! Next time on Jakuho's Corner.
Well, unfortunately the stories this month will all be rather short. I have some longer ones that I'm following, but with everything going on this month I haven't been able to finish them and/or think about them as much as I'd like to post proper reviews.
However, this month I bring you some cute RomeoWendy and some humour ^__^ I hope you enjoy :D
As always, if you are an avid fanfic reader and know of a great fic you'd like everyone to see, message me or talk to me in chat and I'll check it out and probably add it to my article ;D
FORWAAAAAAARD!
☆ Helpful Phrases ☆
Okay, for those of you who are unaware of fanfiction, or not as immersed in it as I am, I'll just run through a few terms I may use or that may be important for you whilst you are reading. These can include acronyms or just jargon that you will find a lot if you look at the stories on fanfiction.net, or any other fanfiction website.
A/U: A simple acronym that means 'Alternate Universe'. AU fanfiction usually takes on one of two mediums. Either A, the fanfiction involves all of the characters from the original story, but put in a different world (i.e: Natsu and Lucy living in New York) or B, the characters in their original world, but with slight alterations from the original series (i.e: Fiore, but with no Mages or anything magical). As such, whilst some AU fanfictions can be very similar to the original story if the author, say, keeps Magic and merely changes the setting to a high school, other AU fanfictions can be very unique and differing from the original series.
Crack: A joking term some authors use to describe a story they have written that is likely completely stupid or written just for a laugh. In general, crack fics can hold a variety of features, but are called so because you would have to think the author is on crack to have come up with such ridiculous ideas. Some examples of crack fiction could be a story about Lucy falling in love with Zancrow, or Natsu deciding one day that he wants to be a transvestite.
Drabble: If an author describes their story as a drabble series, it usually means that their story is just a slice-of-life fanfic with nothing much deep and meaningful in terms of plot and character development. Usually these fanfics are just a bit of fun, and not something that you have to focus on incredibly well or remember many details for.
Fanfiction ratings: Every fanfiction on fanfiction.net is categorised into one of 4 categories depending on its content. This starts with K and K+ fiction, which are stories that anyone can read. T fiction comes next, being labelled so because it is advised that people under the age of 13 do not read them. Finally, you get M fiction, restricted to those 18 or older.
Fluff: A term used to describe a fanfiction that contains cutesie, almost cliche romance. The dialogue in conversations is usually not deep and meaningful in any way, rather just there to show the interactions between pairs.
Head Canon: Head Canon is a less popular term than many here, but is used to relate that something that happens in a fanfic is the product of what the author believes happened in the original story, even though it may not necessarily be canon. For example, an author could write a story about Laki during the Grand Magic Games, but detail some trauma she went through during the seven year time skip, even though events of the time skip (for Laki) are unknown. A Head Canon then basically states that the author strongly believes such an event happened, and will write their story as if it did.
Lemon: A fanfiction that warns of lemon is telling you that at some point in the story there will be an explicit sex scene. For those who think that such scenes can't be that bad, lemon fiction is usually only found in the M section of the site, and these fanfics are very, very hardcore when it comes to sex scenes. I'm not talking about two characters falling into a bed together or just kissing, lemon fanfiction is amazingly descriptive. As such, be careful if you don't want to read such things and avoid them.
Lime: A less concentrated version of a lemon. Lime fictions usually just involve characters cuddling or kissing and usually do not contain explicit scenes. Better for people who don't like the full-on nature of lemon fics.
Non-con/Dub-con: You may see these warnings alongside lemon/smut warnings in the description or opening of a fanfic. These warnings stipulate that a sex scene occurs in the fiction where one of the participants is either non-consenting, or has dubious consent. In general these are fictions that include rape, so if this is something that you would not want to read, avoid the fanfic or ask the author for more information before reading ahead.
OC: An OC is an 'Original Character'. Pretty straight-forward. Stories that contain OC's or are about OC's merely contain a character not from the original series, rather someone new the author has created.
OOC: OOC, or 'Out Of Character', is a term some authors and/or reviewers use to describe a character that behaves outside their typical personality of the original series. Sometimes the characters are purposely written differently, but at times the author merely admits that they had trouble writing a certain character into their personality, and will warn readers that something may happen that seems odd for that said character. An example of OOCness could be Gray complimenting Juvia and Juvia reacting by yelling at him, punching him and then walking off for no previously hinted at reason.
One-shot: A one-shot is a story that takes place in one chapter. The author could be telling a short story, expanding a manga scene, or anything they like, however the entire fiction is not continued past the one chapter it contains. One-shots can be great for interesting short stories or lemon fiction, but if you are looking for something with an in-depth plot and character development, one-shots will not be for you. Two-shots, three-shots etc. are the same thing, merely with the number of chapters implied.
"Romeo notices Wendy looks different from the other days and Lucy is there to explain and play matchmaker."
I'm trying to find stories for pairs I haven't given any stories for, so just as I gave you MystoganXKnightwalker and ElfmanXEvergreen last month, this month I bring you RomeoXWendy, another pair that is popular... but I don't like ^__^"
Well, that's a lie. Romeo and Wendy are cute together, but that's about it for me. I dunno, maybe they are just too young in my eyes, but I've never fully gotten into and fangirled over their relationship. However, I know there are some people out there who adore them, so here is a fic for you guys! :3
"Different" takes place in the FT guild on any normal day. Normal, except for the fact that now the main FT members have returned from Tenrou Island after 7 years, Romeo notices that he is eyeing Wendy in a different manner. He's older than he was before - now 14 - and the age difference between them in basically no more. Romeo has also noticed how everyone in the guild (in particular Natsu and Lucy) seems to be closer, and is wondering what is going on.
Lucy and Natsu play matchmaker here ;) They notice that Romeo's eyes seem to be following Wendy a little more than usual, and decide to push the young boy for answers. Some hilarity ensue when Romeo confesses he might like Wendy, and people in the guild (including ladies man Gildarts) try to give him tips on what to do to confess his feelings. Will he or won't he? And what will Wendy say if he does? Go read to find out.
"Different" is rather nicely written, with only a few errors that don't distract too much from the story, and a nice appearance by Chelia that I really appreciated. I'm sure, for RomeoXWendy fans, this story will be much cuter, nicer and entertaining, but for me it stops at just a nice read. If you are WendyXRomeo fan, give this a read though and let me know what you think. I'll be interested to know~
"Mirajane tries to rid Gray of his undressing habit, but Lucy manages to ruin all her progress. But perhaps she can solve the problem once and for all."
I love a good laugh when I read fanfiction, and this story definitely provided XD It's one of those light, no need to really pay attention too much, just enjoy yourself fanfics, and for a story so old (it was published very early 2009) I find the humour and characterization still applies to the FT we currently know and love.
The humour for the most part comes from Gray's stripping habit, and the antics it causes everyone in the guild. One by one, some of the prominent members try their own ways to get Gray to cease taking off his clothes, with hilarious outcomes. Finally, after much exhaustion and failure, Mirajane thinks she knows what triggers Gray's clothes to fly off - and no, it's not because of Ur and Gray's past ;)
This is a GrayXLucy fanfic, which irks me a little (I'm not a fan of them at all to be blunt) but considering when it was written and the fact that back then I'm guessing Natsu and Lucy weren't so close, I can overlook this odd pairing. Besides, there isn't too much Gray and Lucy to be perfectly honest, as the fic is more focused on the laughs that occur when the guild try to fix a problem that seems to be infixable XD
A short read, but one I think you will find amusing and very well-written.
"Erza and Kagura return to the ruins of their home village."
It is nice to stumble across (or in this case be directed - thanks Nick) to a fanfic that isn't just about the ordinary "FT takes a job", "Natsu and Gray fight" and "Putting my favourite OTP together". As such, reading a story like "Homecoming" is a breath of fresh air, and one I think many will enjoy.
The story follows Erza and Kagura as they both find jobs in their guild that come from their hometown: ghosts have appeared and are scaring people and the mayor of the town nearby wants them gone. Of course, having a history with Rosemary, both women set out to complete the job, and find each other. Teaming up, they decide to face their pasts together, strengthening their relationship as they go along.
This story isn't very long, but it explores a number of aspects about the two that I like. They discuss Kagura's personality and how she has changed since the Grand Magic Games, Jellal and his connection to Erza, how Rosemary and their families once were and even Minerva and what she is up to - the story takes place after the Sun Village arc and before the Tartarus one.
The thing I like the most about "Homecoming" is its canon-like nature. Everything discussed and stated could easily fit in alongside the current story of FT, and I find that Homecoming is the nice backstory revisited that I think Mashima seriously needed (and still needs to) include in the actual Fairy Tail story.
For the most part it is beautifully written (only a few issues with tense) and both Kagura and Erza (and some other characters who drop in) are well put into character. The descriptions are very nicely done, and overall this is a great and fulfilling read. If you wish you had gotten more out of the Erza/Kagura issue in the Grand Magic Games, this is definitely for you :)

Hello, everyone!
Welcome to the first ever edition of Umneilicious, where we will be looking back at the last month of our lovely series and checkin’ out what’s hot and what’s not, but in our own little flavorful manner.
I'm very pleased to be apart of the Sorcerer Magazine and I look forward to adding the spice that is my namesake into our melting pot of sweet, sweet editorial love. So, as we all know, we didn't quite have as many chapters as we wanted this month but we got a hefty one so that's good. Let's just work with what we're given. :)
Alrighty, so let's get down to business!
First up, we'll be starting off with what was Umneilicious during the past month of our beloved series with a segment I like to call...
Sayla
So, upon first sight with the rest of the Nine Demon Gates, we didn’t see much of her. However, when we later saw her encounter Elfman and Lisanna, she just suddenly shined! I honestly don’t know many people, whether animanga or real life, that can work leopard print, and she’s definitely got in going on over a hot-ass kimono, chilling back with some gymnastic looking socks on. If you look closely, you can also tell she’s got her priorities straightened out, with her nails all manicured, pedicured and her hair all did up. I’m loving her look and quite frankly, I don’t blame her: Being one of the only few females in Tartarus, She’s gotta work it so we don’t associate her with some other nasties (Other than Silver because his human form makes my figurative giney giggle). Plus, from what we have seen, she can sure be conniving. Force the big-ol muscle-cola drinkin' beast of a brother to choke out his little dainty sister? No wonder she’s apart of Tartarus :)
Sayla, you’re Umneilicous! Love it~! <3
Crawford Seam (and his tea)
Well then, Mister Former Chairman. It’s finally great to meet you after 7 years. I wish he still has that funky hat because it would definitely suit the motif when he goes over to the Tartarus headquarters. So yes, it seems he was indeed a traitor to the Council and has been leaking information into Tartarus’ reservoir. It’s got me wondering… since we’re all giving the Council crap for being so weak; could it perhaps be Crawford who allowed it to be so weak? I mean, we had a Thought Projection and a Dark Mage each occupying a seat within the Council (while Crawford was chairman) which ultimately led them into utilizing Etherion. What if Crawford, during his reign, has inconspicuously weakened the Council to an extent where Guild Masters don’t take them seriously and to a point where not even Gran Doma could pick up the pieces? This would explain why the Council would’ve been so weak and it’s all thanks to Mr Malicious himself. Plus, he captured 2 S-Class Mages by giving them tea that he has cultivated himself. Dayum Crawford, mind sending me some of that my way? It would definitely spice up my Friday nights :)
I know Mr. Crawford is very much evil indeed, just like Sayla, but he is indeed Umneilicious. Loving it.
Natsu Dragneel
I applaud Natsu on his ability to deduce the fact that Tartarus has a secret informant whereas no one else could come up to that conclusion. In addition to that, Natsu was pretty damn exhausted, so the fact that an exhausted, ditzy Natsu Dragneel made such a deduction and the other members of their Guild didn’t is kind of bothering… but whatever, Go Natsu! :) You’re Umneilicious~. You've always been Umneilicious, I've always loved you and right now, I "Love it~"
So now, we get to the unfortunate bits. As we know, Fairy Tail isn't perfect but then again, we can see perfection in imperfection itself, right? I think that's what they call true love... I dont know, the most affection I've been shown was having a taxi called for me after a Saturday night bootcall... Nonetheless, here is where we see what aspects of the past month were not so fun. In fact, this section has been titled...
Pairing Elfman with Lisanna
I mean, really? The anime had better teams paired up for the damn filler arc back when they were looking for goddamn clock pieces and Makarov decides to pair up Elfman and Lisanna to protect a Council member from A TARTARUS DARK MAGE?! Does he WANT them to die?! Hell, the pairs created in the filllers weren’t even from Cana herself because apparently, she was manipulated by the antagonists. So technically, the goddamn enemies can pair up Fairy Tail members better than Makarov can himself!! Yeah, I know, we shouldn’t be comparing Anime to Manga, but I mean… Elfman had so much trouble facing Bacchus, Lisanna’s done absolutely nothing since coming back, so why pair the two together? It’s like… hey, they MAY encounter Tartarus members and judging by what they did to Laxus and the Raijinshuu, we should really be prepared… k so lets put 2 S-Class Mages (Erza and Mira) together and… yeah lets put Elfman and Lisanna together. MAKAROV LOGIC >:/ Clearly, this isn’t working out because Sayla isn’t even lifting a finger yet they they’ve gotten themselves in a situation where Elfman might have to sell his soul. They can't even say they underestimated because. its Elfman and Lisanna, for crying out loud.
Putting the black sheep of the Take Over Siblings together? Get ‘em outta my sight >:/
The Oracion Seis’ fashion sense
Alright so, you guys re-debuted in the fillers 7 years later with some wicked pimped out gear as expected because, you know, 7 years is a long time so why not change it up a notch? Well, this whole thing started when we saw Cobra come back to help against the Dragons wearing his old tight leather pants and his long coat. It’s like… why? Why do you still have that? We saw you wearing some kickass robes during the KotSS arc but after knowing the whereabouts of your best friend, you decide to bust out your out-of-style clothes again? Later on, we see the rest of the crew and both Angel and Hoteye have their old clothes on. Angel, you’re in a Shounen Manga, it can’t be hard to shop for you! Perhaps Hoteye because he wasn’t in the filler nor does it look easy to shop for him. It’s like, Midnight and Racer get to keep their Key of the Starry Sky clothes but Angel can’t? The level of consistency here hurts because we all know Mashima did work closely with the anime for those fillers but now that they are back in the manga, only some of their differences continued on into canon while the rest were just maintained… Could I be the only one that’s really bothered by this or is everyone else also a bit perturbed?
Oracion Seis, please, go hit up the mall or something. It's the holiday season so we got a good amount of sales all over the place. Then again, you guys were incarcerated this whole time so perhaps you don't have money... but hell, even a Goodwill will do you justice. Thank you.
Alright, so now you know what was LOVED and HATED (gee, such strong words) this past month. What did you guys love love love? or hate hate hate? You don't have to be all politically correct with us, you can rant your heart out, boo ;)
Hopefully, we get a great month of Fairy Tail next time, but I hope you guys enjoyed Umneilicious. If there's anything you liked or dislike about my article, do let me know, as I am quite new to this~ but nonetheless until then, I look forward to seeing you next issue!
FAIRY INTERVIEW A column where questions are asked to different characters in the Fairy Tail Series and are answered by the Sorcerer Magazine Staff
This month's questions are:
So how was your Christmas?
The anime is returning soon in 2014! Are you excited?
Mashima has stated that the current Tartarus arc is going to be a big arc and he is going to bring back various past characters. Who else do you think will be making a return?
What is your New Year's resolution?
Chapter 313 was the first chapter of 2012 where we found out about future Lucy. Time flies! In your opinion, how good or bad has the year been to Fairy Tail?
A: I think it was great. I spent it with my family alone. It wasn't anything too fancy but we had a lot of laughs and then we watched a movie together. We watched Now You See Me! Have you seen that movie?
'Interviewer: Well, n—
A: Its great. I totally recommend it.
The anime is returning soon in 2014! Are you excited?
A: YES!!! I am so excited to see what the animators, and Mashima, have in store for us. I like that Mashima always works closely with the animators to bring us an enjoyable experience. I want to see everything in color and animated and with sound. I'm excited to see if we get a new opening (I think we will) but I'm also worried about how the new animation will look alike, if they will restart it from where it left off. I'm also extremely worried that the anime will not come back into episode 176 but instead will become Fairy Tail X: Episode 1 like another Naruto Shippuden and another Magi: The Kingdom of Magic. Oh well. I also can't wait to start forcing Carrot into making the This Month in the Anime article! ^_^
Mashima has stated that the current Tartarus arc is going to be a big arc and he is going to bring back various past characters. Who else do you think will be making a return?
A: Ever since the Lullaby arc, I've wanted to see Kageyama make a return. I just really like his Magic. I thought he was the member of Blue Pegasus in the bunny suit but it ended up being stupid Nichiya. Oh well.
What is your New Year's resolution?
A: To think more about my future and not procrastinate in school. Most likely, it won't happen, but its good to set goals, right? right?
Chapter 313 was the first chapter of 2012 where we found out about future Lucy. Time flies! In your opinion, how good or bad has the year been to Fairy Tail?
A: It has had its ups and downs and ups and downs and ups and downs. But in the end, Fairy Tail always manages to keep me interested and always wanting more. Many people disliked the ending of the Grand Magic Games, but I liked it. Not because of Natsu beating Future Rogue, but because none of the Dragons were defeated. The Sun Village arc brought a refreshing feel to the series. And then we got to big bang that was the start of the Tartarus arc. It has been a great year in my opinion and I can't wait wait see what 2014 has in store for us.
A: It was absolutely boring. Wanna know what I did? I was home...watched some anime, then went to bed. I did get presents, but they were already unwrapped before Christmas, so that doesn't count. I'm really not giving a shit though. And do you want to know why? Because I want April 2014 to hurry the fuck up. Black Bullet Bitches!!! Make sure you watch it, I'll love ya forever. :3
Interviewer: Hmm...back to the topic.
A: Silence, whore! D:
The anime is returning soon in 2014! Are you excited?
A: Yes!!! With both Fairy Tail and Black Bullet coming 2014, I truly think this will be my best year!!!
Interviewer: Will you mention Black Bullet every damn time? ಠ_ಠ
A: Someone forgot to drink their happy pills today. ( .___.)
Interviewer: *Gets flamethrower* ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Mashima has stated that the current Tartarus arc is going to be a big arc and he is going to bring back various past characters. Who else do you think will be making a return?
A: I'm glad he is, but I just hope he doesn't bring them back for an epic entrance, and then just forget about them like he did with Cobra. But do you know what doesn't do that? Black Bullet! :D
Interviewer: ಠ_ಠ
What is your New Year's resolution?
A: I'm perfect. I don't need one. (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)
Interviewer: *Inside head* He didn't say anything about Black Bullet. ˙ ͜ʟ˙
A: MAKE SURE YOU WHORES WATCH BLACK BULLET APRIL 2014.
Interviewer: ༼ つ ◕◡◕ ༽
Chapter 313 was the first chapter of 2012 where we found out about future Lucy. Time flies! In your opinion, how good or bad has the year been to Fairy Tail?
A: Time does fly. And it better fly until it's April 2014! You know, Black Bullet. :3
Interviewer: (╯°□°)╯︵ |___|
A: Fairy Tail, you know, has had its ups and down, and I really can't complain much because Hiro is always trying his best. I would be lying to myself if I said I don't enjoy Fairy Tail every Friday. However, I do hate Kagura's battle's outcome...But other than that, I think Fairy Tail is awesome and should keep doing its thang honey!!! DON'T FORGET JANUARY 2 IS MEGA'S BIRTHDAY. FUCK JANUARY 8, IT SUCKS BALLS! JANUARY 2 ROCKS!!! Love you Reli. ( ._.)
A: My real life Christmas was great. Each year we go to my grandparents house in the middle of nowhere and celebrate, and this year was no different. My family are the sort of people who aren't very... warm. My father was the only one of his siblings to have children (my mother's 4 siblings and my 20+ cousins are all in Canada) so myself and my two brothers are the only "youngsters" there. It can lead to some awkward times, but for some reason everyone was really happy this year, so I had fun :D I got some great presents too ^__^
However, my online life was as stressful as heck. People wanted their free lines from my Dev giveaway, some getting annoyed when I was late... I don't think they understood that I had been lining for three days straight just to get up the lines I got up. People wanted things for this magazine, people wanted things for the Wiki... It was nuts ( -__-) I'm kinda glad I lost my internet at my grandparents place to be honest >__>
The anime is returning soon in 2014! Are you excited?
A: Yes!! The anime is no where NEAR as good as the manga, but I'm excited to see everything in colour and with the voice actors doing their thing. The Wiki is also so much more active because we draw in the anime-only crowd, and my guild, the ASG, can finally get better jobs ;) I'm hoping the animation quality really steps up though :/
Mashima has stated that the current Tartarus arc is going to be a big arc and he is going to bring back various past characters. Who else do you think will be making a return?
A: Hmmmm... Well, I think the obvious will arrive: Lyon, Sting and Rogue, Yukino, Kagura and Mils perhaps. Heck, with Hoteye out of prison, even Sho and Wally could make another appearance. I don't really mind who turns up, so long as the story is good and we get lots of Jellal, Meredy and JellalXErza X3
What is your New Year's resolution?
A: My New Year's resolution has been the same for the last 4ish years: Que Sera Sera. For those who don't know, it means "whatever will be, will be", and I have made it my resolution to follow this quote at all times. I find it does me no good to stress about things: tests I think I flunked, things I should have done but didn't, mistakes I made but could have avoided. At these times I just take a deep breath and think "Y'know, whatever happens, happens. I can sort it out from there", I put it all behind me, focus on the future and move on. It really does work ^__^
Chapter 313 was the first chapter of 2012 where we found out about future Lucy. Time flies! In your opinion, how good or bad has the year been to Fairy Tail?
A: Well, Fairy Tail always has its ups and downs, and this year was no different. There were good things, and bad things and totally awesome things, but I guess that comes with every series. However, I need to tip my hat to Mashima for the effort he has put in all year. Not only did he give us longer chapters on occasion, 6 chapters in 2 weeks and coloured pages a lot, but he also published heaps of art on his Twitter, helped out the anime with the OVAs and so much more. He is a hard working man, that is undeniable.
I hope for a good year of Fairy Tail to come... with much Jellal >:)
A: Nothing special. I haven't celebrated Christmas since I was about 10.
The anime is returning soon in 2014! Are you excited?
A: Sure, though I'm more excited about the fact that it'll create more things to do on the wiki and probably attract more editors, which means more people to teach our ways, which means a larger and more fun wiki.
Mashima has stated that the current Tartarus arc is going to be a big arc and he is going to bring back various past characters. Who else do you think will be making a return?
A: In all honesty, I think most of the characters who appeared in the Grand Magic Games arc will make an appearance. Some will appear only in minor scenes such as being contacted through Lacrima, though. I think others will undoubtedly play key roles in inter-personal relations such as Sting. I also think Jura and Lyon will have something to do in this arc, likely teaming up with Gray and Juvia.
What is your New Year's resolution?
A: Improving myself. I'm not gonna give you any details on that.
Chapter 313 was the first chapter of 2012 where we found out about future Lucy. Time flies! In your opinion, how good or bad has the year been to Fairy Tail?
A: I think the year's quality for Fairy Tail has been pretty much how good Fairy Tail is overall as a series, ranging from mediocre to good. On the one hand, we had awesome stuff like the opening to the Tartarus arc filled with death, destruction, mystery and badassery. On the other hand, we had utter garbage like Happy surviving a town-level explosion, not to mention the abysmal ending to the Grand Magic Games arc. I hope at this point that 2014 is a better year for the series.
A: Pretty much the usual, lots of food, bunch of Christmas-themed movies, dinner with family and a screwed up sleep schedule. Ha.
The anime is returning soon in 2014! Are you excited?
A: Of course! Regardless of the somewhat disappointing end of the GMG arc, I can't wait to see it animated! I think my Photoshop will hate me then.
Mashima has stated that the current Tartarus arc is going to be a big arc and he is going to bring back various past characters. Who else do you think will be making a return?
A: Hmm, well, I think most of the major ones have returned by now, them being Oracion Cinco Seis and Jellal. The only major ones I can see return are the former Grimoire Heart Mages, I mean, Tartarus wants to wipe out Magic, while they were all focused on gaining the greatest Magic, One Magic and what not. Sounds like a perfect reason for them to join the fight against Tartarus. About time we see whether the rumor of Hades not being dead is true or not. Though I just hope that regardless of who returns, Mashima won't repeat the same mistake like in GMG - having bunch of characters appear and then not knowing what to do with the plot.
What is your New Year's resolution?
A: None, really. I don't see myself following any major resolution, I can't even fix my sleep schedule, lol. And any minor ones would be meaningless.
Chapter 313 was the first chapter of 2013 where we found out about future Lucy. Time flies! In your opinion, how good or bad has the year been to Fairy Tail?
A: Well, as I mentioned, the conclusion of the Grand Magic Games arc wasn't exactly satisfying. However, I must say that I enjoyed Sun Villiga arc for its (initial) lighthearted atmosphere, comedy and so on. It reminded of the early times of the series. And it seems like Mashima is doing a great job with Tartarus so far, so let's hope it continues. *tries to forget Natsu vs. Jackal*
A: Well, at first, it involved work because Christmas isn't really all that celebrated much in Dubai so various clients, co-workers and employees are still at their offices, doing what they do best. Also, my family was rather busy that day, not really focusing on the festivities at hand. After an early meeting, I got to go shopping for a wedding (alongside my parents) and purchased all sorts of clothes whatnot, more than I would need for just a single wedding. I guess that was kind of like my Christmas present because I got some killer outfits and shoes and stuff :) Also, I didn't end the night inebriated so I guess I got that going for me...
The anime is returning soon in 2014! Are you excited?
A: Yes! I was initially introduced to Fairy Tail through the Anime when the 2nd episode came out and since then, I've been religiously watching it every week. I'm eager to see them remedy their shoddy adaptation of the first half of the GMG arc with better animation for what is left, and beyond.
Mashima has stated that the current Tartarus arc is going to be a big arc and he is going to bring back various past characters. Who else do you think will be making a return?
A: Obviously, the GMG contestants! Also, I think "past characters" can also mean people from their history, so perhaps that other member of Fairy Tail whom founded the Guild with Mavis and Walrod.
What is your New Year's resolution?
A: I don't really have one, because they never really stick. The one rule I do live by though is to treat others the way you expect to be treated. However, if people start stepping over my toes, they might face a bit of trouble :P I'm digressing from the point... So I guess you could say not to mistreat others because it'll bite you in the booty later.
Chapter 313 was the first chapter of 2012 where we found out about future Lucy. Time flies! In your opinion, how good or bad has the year been to Fairy Tail?
A: Getting chapters on a weekly basis does indeed make us lose our sense of time, doesnt it? :P I guess the year was bittersweet to Fairy Tail, because they didn't finish the GMG arc with a bang, as we had hoped. However, it does leave us wanting more. Also, we've just entered a new arc that still seems very promising to me, so here's hoping for a marvelous 2014!
A: My Christmas was good. I got lots of clothes, some trading cards and literally 3 pounds of chocolate. Seriously, I'm one person. Htf am I supposed to eat all that damn candy?
The anime is returning soon in 2014! Are you excited?
A: I'm more excited for Black Bullet, actually...dammit Mega. >___>
Mashima has stated that the current Tartarus arc is going to be a big arc and he is going to bring back various past characters. Who else do you think will be making a return?
A: Probably Sabertooth; would be cool to see Jose or other Phantom Lord members...but most all: THE RETURN OF THE NODDING CHEF! ಠ_ರೃ
What is your New Year's resolution?
A: Eat pussy, drink whiskey, hail Satan.
Chapter 313 was the first chapter of 2012 where we found out about future Lucy. Time flies! In your opinion, how good or bad has the year been to Fairy Tail?
A: In my opinion it hasn't been the greatest, but according to sales it's been great, lol.
A: Pretty boring. I did purchase a lot of manga while I was at Kinokuniya so I'm happy, though.
The anime is returning soon in 2014! Are you excited?
A: Not really. I don't really watch anime anymore and I'm only going to be looking forward to certain aspects, such as better animation (hopefully) and the return of some characters (assuming it will pick off from the last episode).
Mashima has stated that the current Tartarus arc is going to be a big arc and he is going to bring back various past characters. Who else do you think will be making a return?
A: Grimoire Heart. I want to see a three-way Guild War between the Oración Seis, Grimoire Heart, and Tartarus. Grimoire Heart is pretty shabby now since only a few members remain but hopefully, assuming they will show up, they will be fairly badass.
Chapter 313 was the first chapter of 2012 where we found out about future Lucy. Time flies! In your opinion, how good or bad has the year been to Fairy Tail?
A: Eh, I'd say it's been pretty bad given how a lot of the chapters have been. The biggest disappointment for me was that Mashima did not kill Happy when he was being the "hero" at the beginning of the Tartarus arc. Seriously, the fuck was that?
A:It involved the bottom of a bottle, two girls half my age, discovering that my grandparents own a Weeping Angel (and that it was looking at me all evening), and a hint of sky diving while singing 'A Whole New World' from Aladdin on the way down.
The anime is returning soon in 2014! Are you excited?
A:You mean it's no longer a mere rumour? Well... if it's true... in the words of my good friend Glass Heart... meh. I've barely watched any of the anime beyond favourite fights, and I'd much rather see them begin from the very start and reanimate the series in a similar vein as Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Consistently high quality animation, pure canon goodness, and compressed in a reasonable number of episodes. If they just start where they left off we'll see filler and lowered quality within the year.
Mashima has stated that the current Tartarus arc is going to be a big arc and he is going to bring back various past characters. Who else do you think will be making a return?
A:Gotta love those huge war arcs. One Piece had the Marineford Arc, Naruto and Bleach have their current Shinobi World War and The Thousand-Year Blood War arcs respectively. A chance to see all of the major players in each individual world come together and fight for the readers to see again... for several panels at most. I honestly cannot think of anybody coming back that we haven't seen already. The Grand Magic Games arc saw most of the guilds and important characters in a, "Where are they now?" scenario, and we've already seen the (until recently) current Magic Council and past members, as well as Oración Seis now. Unless former master of Phantom Lord, Jose, prominent characters from Edolas, or the surviving members of Grimoire Heart return - I can't think of anybody.
What is your New Year's resolution?
A: To re-kindle my relationship with Ultra, and once again have those star-lit Skype calls with soft music from the 70's playing in the background.
Chapter 313 was the first chapter of 2012 where we found out about future Lucy. Time flies! In your opinion, how good or bad has the year been to Fairy Tail?
A:The climax of Fiore's Triwizard Tournament. Natsu defending the realms from the sudden return of the dragons, alongside his fellow Dovahkiin and a dragon who agreed to help after being beaten into submission. Being sent on a quest by an elderly, enigmatic wizard to reignite Mt. Doom, which involved orcs and giants. And with the world of Magic on the brink of extinction, we bring you;
FTWikia: Hey Chaos, this is the Fairy Tail Interview, and we- Chaos: Wait... Fairy Tail interview? FTWikia: That's right. And we want you to- Chaos: But I already did an interview with you guys before, didn't I? FTWikia: You're probably mistaking this interview with Jakuho's corner, and unlike that interview, we're actually on schedule with ours. Chaos: ...Okay...? FTWikia: And technically, you haven't even been interviewed, right? I mean, Gemini was the one that interviewed for you for Jakuho's Corner. Chaos: Well, yeah, but... FTWikia: Oh, and don't try to summon Gemini to do this interview for you. We made sure that no Magic creatures can be summoned here. Chaos: W-w-whatever do you mean?! Ha-ha-hahaha... Darn it!!! FTWikia: Okay, let's get start- Chaos: Look!! Jakuho's actually not being lazy!!! FTWikia and everybody else: What?!!! Where?!!! *Vamoosh* FTWikia: ...Damn it, Chaos!!!
So everyone, lets give a round of applause to Rai, who finished did most of his articles on time! He chose all of these pieces of art, however, he didn't put this article but I, Reli, did it.
Anyways, this awesome piece of art based on the cover of Volume 41 was colored by enara123! It looks really awesome and, as a fellow artist, I know how much time and effort must have been put to get this result. Kudos to him. I give it and I hope he colors every other volume cover that is to come.
