Hello Oncers!
I know it's been awhile since I made my initial post getting everyone excited about what is to come, but unfortunately I've hit a roadblock. As you may or may not know, I am a full time college student and college will always come first until I finish my degrees.
The past 2 weeks I've been very sick with some sort of head cold that grew worse every day. Fortunately, I am feeling 110% better than I have been thanks to my mother making an
amazing crock pot full of home-made chicken noodle soup! Unfortunately, being sick for so long really gotten me behind on my college work schedule. So, as a repercussion, I'm swamped with homework.
I have 44 assignments due by October 4th alone. Unfortunately, because this is going to keep me so busy, I'm not going to be able to really work on the Once Upon A Time Blog until break in November, or even the second week of December when the semester ends.
I know this means that I won't be posting characters in order of their appearance like I had originally intended, but I will definitely get everyone's story up and posted as fast as I can! I also know that this may seem like forever to finally be able to really work on the blog and update it completely between Season 1 and Season 2 information, but I really hope you will stick with me through this and keep checking back and giving input with things you may have caught that I didn't! Or even just general chatting about the introduction of new characters or about new plots that have been discovered!
I wish I didn't have to do it like this, but unfortunately there's no other option. I do still hope that this blog will be interactive and will really get my fellow Oncers talking and participating in the release of new information! By Season 3, this blog should be completely up to date, or at least that is my goal. Then we can continue on as it was meant to be; with the introduction of characters as they appear in the show.
I have recently purchased the
Once Upon A Time Book written by the Brothers Grimm and illustrated by Kevin Tong, which includes an introduction by the writers of Once Upon A Time,
Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, so their original stories will be incorporated into my posts on each character as well as soon as I can find the time to read these stories and do a write-up of them.
I am also taking full advantage of the information released through the Facebook game Once Upon A Time and incorporating this into my posts as well. Between all of these avenues, I know we can piece these stories together and keep these characters straight! It'll take effort from all of us to make this blog is a huge success that's talked about all over the internet!
I don't want to let this idea go, as I know there are many people who are looking forward to this log being kept on each character in order to keep them straight and remember their stories in chronological order, so please bear with me as I try to get this blog going as soon as possible!
When Season 2 starts on September 30, 2012, I will be opening posts based on the characters introduced and focused on within that episode. I will try to remain as current as possible for this season, and will add in Season 1's information as soon as possible. I know this isn't turning out exactly as planned, but sometimes you have to roll with the punches.
At this point, I would rather keep updated with Season 2's released characters, back stories, and plot lines, and then go back and fill in what has been revealed in Season 1, in order to keep the blog as current as possible in that respect. By going back, we can make more connections to the recent information and really dive in. I know it's a little backwards, but sometimes that can be fun and beneficial! Especially because it will get you remembering and thinking about not only the past, but the future as well.
I truly hope I am able to work on this more fully before November! We shall see what is in the cards for me as the time draws near.
I hope everyone will continue to show support and keep following the blog!
Until next time my fellow Oncers!
