Yep, they are, luckily for me, I only have to start over with Chapter 1 for Blake's Journey and Chapter 3 with The Big Breakout.
It still freezes up from time to time as I type this, but I hope it can be fixed.

May I ask; What do you have on your Computer, how long you have had it, and if you have any Virus Protection Programs on it, too, Shawn?

Stories both Original and Fanfictions, Games that I bought on Steam and Malwarebytes and Roguekiller.
I've had these on since I bought the Silver HP Laptop, but with both Virus Protection Programs, they both stated that I don't have viruses.

Sorry about the lateness in Shane's solo story, been having writer's block recently, but I feel that I will continue once I finish up that story and Burai's story and post up Blake's. Yes, I've been bummed, but watching this episode more and more ---> www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ0Bf-Sarp0 This is just a clip of the episode in question. But it makes me want to do Blake's story more and more, detailing to the very last detail and since I have 7 Seasons to go along with 9 Novels, I will be improving over time. I have to say that it's really fun, but it will take time as I need to edit, edit and edit some more. But in the meantime, working on an RP with TT, it should bring the ideas back to me, Sadly once this series is done, I'm just going to use the characters in RP's, but that doesn't mean Ban and his siblings or August and his followers won't be next. ^^

Hello everyone! ^^ *Blows the dust off of the thread.* Okay, I'm doing well. Been doing some RP's with my sister, and I have to say it's fun, I'm getting back into the spirit of RPing again, ever so slowly, as we RP, I wanted to do a reboot of my headcanon of my OC's as we explore the idea of Five Steps of Grief, as the Dalmatians deal with their sister's death in their own way. While the style is like the 1984 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Comic Book, it's more like Sherlock Holmes meets the TMNT (There's actually an episode like that in the 1987 series.), It does have blood, Strong Language and Violence. But I'm also working on the stories that I wanted to make here with Anthro characters, cause it would make what I want to tell more easier than it would if I stuck with feral forms, keep in mind after seeing Belchic's post in Hunt in Mt. Gruteley and thoughts of pups being ninjas did appeal to me cause I felt like it's never been done before and would be really fun in bringing it to life in the 101 Dalmatians Series. Don't get me wrong I'll still post stories here, but it's mostly going to scrap the Ninja idea I had, and will just focus on the side stories that I have planned on here, instead. Giving people details on the pups, like what are their hobbies, likes and dislikes, the pups that they enjoy hanging out with, so on and so forth. I'm not going to change the pups personalities, Balance is still the leader of her siblings, Shawn is still a quick tempered pup who can use wisdom for both good and evil purposes (The evil isn't what he wants to do, but sometimes his words of wisdom can get both him and the pup that he speaks to into trouble if he's not careful.), Blake is still a goofball but can take advantage of being the youngest sibling and Shane is still in love with Nature and loves to see people assemble and disassemble equipment with their bare hands. I'm also working on a Christian book based on a dream I had, I really want to get this one done, cause the dream was so Cool!! Then there's a story that was suppose to be a script for a Crash Bandicoot movie that takes place where Crash Mind over Mutant left off, the script can still be found on Fanfiction.net, just stuck on Chapter Four for some reason, so it'll take time to get done. But sadly I had two scripts of my series done, but one had to be wiped out and the other was half saved onto my account, so I have to rework them. If I ever post them, I don't know if I want to post them on DA or FA, cause with DA, I figured it out, but I'm still adjusting to the new layout.

Hello Shawn!
What did you have in mind, with this potential reboot of your Dalmatian's Head Canon? I mean, there's nothing wrong with the idea of them having some form of Canine Ninja. I think Lucky mentions in "Dog's Best Friend" about Blaze teaching him some thing called; Kung Chu, so I am sure there might be a Canine equivalent of Ninjutsu, too.
May I also ask, which post of Belchic's were you refering to in "Mt. Gruteley"?
You say their Personalities shall relatively be the same, you want to give details on their hobbies, likes and dislikes, those they enjoy hanging out with. Does that mean you plan to make updates to their Bios, too?

You say their Personalities shall relatively be the same, you want to give details on their hobbies, likes and dislikes, those they enjoy hanging out with. Does that mean you plan to make updates to their Bios, too? It's a Mystery and dark story where the Dalmatians Raven, Hunter, Samuel and Taylor try to find out clues and deal with the grief that they share on Penny's death in their own way, the original idea is still there where the identity of Penny's killer is a mystery. It's the same idea as when I started working on a DWoW fanfic, but I scrapped it for the 101 Dalmatians Universe instead, calling it. "Dalmatian Prime." The idea came from my own investigation on Thuy Trang's death as well as Penny's. True, plus let's not forget the idea that Colonel actually walked on his hind legs as he walked over to Rolly in the episode. "Easy on the Lies." And the idea of Lucky picking up Cruella's tape recorder with his paw in that one scene in "Leisure Lawsuit." I always thought that was really interesting as Canine's can't really do that in real life. I can't really remember the page number off paw, cause it was so long ago, all I can remember from that was the cliffhanger and the part where Stealth did Ninjarobics over to a gem that would turn Roxy into Reck. I may in the future, but there's nothing else to add right now to their bios, but that won't stop me from putting more character development into them in story formats. ^^

Been really getting into reading these novels recently, Watership Down and of the Wolf series, I'm still reading them, but I believe it was the 2018 Mini Series Water Ship Down that got me hooked plus I've been hearing so much about it, now I'm actually hooked on the Watership Down Series. But the book itself does give me an idea of how I should execute my stories more clearly, so each chapter can take some time to read than 15 Minutes each. But I may stick with just 9 Chapters per story (Only time will tell.) unless I believe that story is a one shot. But if I were to be given an option of either reading the book or watching the 1978 version of Watership Down, I'm going to stick with reading the book. But it does surprise me that John Hurt voiced both Hazel and General Woundwort (Hazel in the 1978 Film and General Woundwort in the TV Series.)

So, you're saying the Book gives you ideas for your Story, namely in how long a chapter is, or how many chapters it is, then?
You been checking the adaptations of "Watership Down", have you? May I ask, while you prefer the "Novel", what is your favourite adaptation of the Story?

I would say some books like Scholastic give me an idea on how many chapters I can add.
As for Watership Down, it's more like this.
What do the puppies see? What is the area that they are in? What does it look like? What do they think of the area? What kind of danger would they be in? Is that animal they see a friend or foe?
I don't want to detail everything that's in that exact area that they are in, though. Cause that would be pretty boring, but just enough to give the reader an idea of where the characters are and what they see. So, I want to expand on the reader's imagination, make it more than 15 minutes a Chapter. Give the reader more detail, like for a fight scene, did it hurt character A when character B bit his side? Yes, it would. Unless the character developed some sort of pain tolerance or can't feel pain at all, I want to go and say this. Character B felt pain on his cheek, but felt like something was coming out, was it saliva? Blood?? He didn't know, till he rubbed his cheek with his paw and looked at the back of it.
So, it's like how many details can I add into a chapter in order to keep the imagination going.
Yep, I have to say that Watership Down 2018 Mini Series is my favorite adaption, while the dark tone itself has been toned down, it does follow the book, how faithfully I don't really know, but it does have two Actors from the Marvel Franchise in the TV Series.
But as I told Angel96, if the creator of Watership Down or fans from the series only gave me a choice of either the Novel or the 1978 Film Version to read or watch. The TV Series which I feel is light hearted and the 2018 Mini Series is not included, I would actually choose the book, tbh. I've seen clips of the 1978 Version and well... I feel the movie itself should've gotten a PG-13 or R rating due to the frightening and disturbing images. But mostly because of the poison gas scene in the film when Captain Holly describes what happened when Hazel, Fiver and the others left.

Well, I just saw that there was a film that has the same plot as mine. Balance and her siblings mother is killed in Life on the Farm Trilogy, in the Four Brothers, the adopted four brother's mother is killed... Is there any other film, I'm following that I don't know about?
Yes, I know that there are scenes I'm using from my favorite films and Cartoons, but still, now I'm curious if I were to have August kill a pup or human in a certain way, that scene's already in a film that I haven't even seen...

Keep in mind, it's one thing to have similar premises, however, what matters is the way this story is told.
Case in point; Listen to this.
"Man gets frozen in suspended animation, wakes up many, MANY years later in the future, and goes on adventures through space with his robot friend".
That is the premise for both "Futurama" & "Red Dwarf". However, I think many can agree, that they're not the same show.
Or another case...
"Our Heroes Time Travel to gather Magical Stones which, when gathered all together, can give whoever possesses them the power of a Deity. One of the stones requires a sacrifice to acquire".
Not only is that the story for "Avengers: Endgame", but it is also the story of the "Chaos Emerald" Arc in "Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog".
To paraphrase Linkara; "Language & Narrative mean more to the originality of a story. Sure, there are things here and there you can compare, but it does not follow the story beat for beat, the character dynamics and motivations are radically different, and what the story is telling us is important and what we should care about is what makes it distinct".
So, even if your story has a similar premise, I am sure it is not an exact shot for shot remake of this film, is it?
You get what I mean, Shawn?

No, I honestly never saw the film, so I wouldn't have been able to remake the film shot for shot.
When I do remake scenes into the series, it's mostly scenes that I really enjoyed. Like in Life on the Farm Part 2 for example, while the story itself is original, I had Shawn save Jewel from a gang of dogs similar to Spider-Man 2002 mixed in with Lady and the Tramp hence the shadows dancing on the walls and the discussion between Jewel, Blake, Shane and Balance is similar to a scene from TMNT Secret of the Ooze along with Balance and Shawn's argument is similar to the TMNT 1990.
The stories themselves is 100% original with scenes that I like. So, think of it like Saban using the fight scenes and possibly stories from Zyuranger-Timeranger.
A Good example of this is in Episode 5: Shawn's Nightmare, where the story is original, while it took a scene from Toy Story (When I go to remake this, I may have it be with Mooch or Lt. Pug instead of Spot.) and the fight scene were taken from Toy Story and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Episode Things Change.
But I do understand what you mean.
