Currently I'm working on a sequel to Blue Rose, named Redemption. Originally i wrote the story that became Blue Rose as a one-shot. However I thought writing a sequel to it would present a very interesting challenge and after a lot of effort managed to work up what I think is a good story that continues from the situations presented in Blue Rose and carries them through to End of Evangelion.
While I don't want to give a whole lot away, I can say for certain that a certain American EVA pilot will be back. He won't be alone either, as he'll be joined by another familiar face to EVA fans of late...
Currently the outline is complete and I'm working on story, with a goal of having a Beta ready by March of 2010 and the final done by July. Will keep posting as things progress..

Funamation will release Rebuild of Evangelion 1.01 in the USA on DVD in early November, with a Blu-Ray release (1.11) in the Spring. No word on if Funamation's gone ahead and purchased the rights to EVA 2.0.

If you go to Writer's Notes, there's another new image that goes along with the story, something that shows a possible future. I won't post it here but you can link there and scroll to the bottom. Enjoy!

If you've been here before you might also notice that there are new images on the site, including this new front cover image:
. That image is an original artwork made just for this story. There is another commission or two coming in soon, and I will be sure to link the artist once that's in.
I'll post this story also on the revamped EVAFICS.ORG site and also re-post on FFN.
I have to say I'm really happy. This was a long time in coming and the story grew a bit from my original intention of a script from three years ago. Once I can get everything prepared I can not wait to start working on the next one.
Oh, and of course, today just so happens to be my birthday as well, so that's a neat coincidence.

It took nearly two years to get EVA to an official US release, which is really a tragedy considering how good the film is. I'm sure part of the delay is that ADV Films probably had the initial rights, but couldn't fork up the licensing fee. That put EVA in limbo until another bidder, such as Funimation or Bandai USA could pay what is no doubt a huge license for the film.
Fortunately, the Hong Kong subtitle copy is quite good, and I got my copy months ago. This is very suggested way of getting this kind of media if you have a DVD player that can take Region 3 discs. Of course, not everyone has one of these....

I hope that it doesn't take forever and a day to get 2.0 in English, like with 1.0. Hopefully the Hong Kong DVD will be available within a few months and then I'll get to see it in all it's glory.

Most of the changes between the version that I posted here last year and the current version are in writing style and grammar, as I tried very hard to tighten up the prose. This story was originally in script format, so it took some doing to convert it.
There are some substantive changes from the earlier draft, namely Chapter 12 had one section edited and another completely re-written, to provide a more personal and meaningful climax.
I have learned a lot from the process, and not just about writing. After reviewing everything here, I truly do have to say I have put in my heart and soul into this piece of work It's about EVA, but not just about EVA. The story has a lot to say about those of us who often find ourselves adrift on the seas of life, and how we find our way to shore.
If you're a fan of Evangelion, please give this story a try: I think you'll find it quite a bit different from the usual FanFics that abound. I assure you your patience will be rewarded. If you read Boyfriend of Steel last year, please also give Blue Rose a read, as there are many, many changes between those version. And as always, any feedback from readers is highly appreciated.

Funamation finally licensed the first EVA film for the US market, with an expected release date of October of 2009. It wasn't a surprise that ADV, the distributor of the original TV series, didn't get the license, as they've fallen into hard times.
They've released almost no details regarding the release, so it's hard to know if their plan is just to bring it to video here, or if they're contemplating something larger, such as a limited-run wide screen release. Also, no word on dubbing cast, etc. Suppose we'll know in a few months what their plan is. Also, I would expect we might see a preview of a dub version at AX in July. Not that I watch dubs or anything.

This was a significant re-working on the story. While the basic plot remains the same as the original, I added many scenes, and worked in more background to all of the American characters to enhance the story, as well as lay a foundation for more work down the road. All in all, the story expanded by two whole chapters, and probably 25% more text in general, plus nearly everything was revisited or re-written to some degree.
The version posted here is "next to final," meaning that have a couple of others who are editing and giving me detailed comments on the re-write. Once I receive that feedback, and feedback from the rest of the readers, I'll make whatever edits are required and then post a final version to the various Fan Fic sites, as well as re-post it here.
If you've read Boyfriend of Steel already, I do encourage you to read The Blue Rose, as there's a lot more story added. Please drop me a line with any comments, critiques, etc., as its always appreciated.
