umkay... I've seen a lot of people doing things like this (namely Jezz).

I have decided to make a thread to hold my ideas, stories, and notes to self... Right now, I have nothing finished, but I've got a few Ideas in store.

unless someone wants me to post my WoM character sheet. I may or may not do that. so, stay tuned.

1st order of business:
memo: Idea for horror story; man discovers reason for mysterious power outages in his neighborhood.

Why, Poison, the next interview... ee... is indeed a secret. Because said interview... ee... Creates a surprising plot twist!

Hohoho! You'll just have to wait until I'm in a non-procrastinate-y mood!

I'm always like that in general. :P

Have you seen all my stories yet, Testa? If not, I would appreciate it if you would read them. ^_^

wow...dude, this is actually not bad.
Actually...I think it's good enough to make Leo jealous. :P
good work.

part 1 bored me to death.
part 2 was interesting.
part 3 was slightly humorous.
part 4 was clever.

it's clear that you're getting better over the course of writing this story. can't wait to see what you can come up with for part 5.

Leonard was loosely based off of Leo, though... I think it would just make him angry.

part 1 bored me to death.


D: It was an introduction... You need to be prepared for getting bored while you read about the main character.

Literature rule of thumb.

Since I'm here, I may as well post the edited version of that picture... I thought it was significantly better. Not good. Just better.

So very true. The introduction to The Hero With A Thousand Faces was soooooo boring. I almost fell asleep reading it in the middle of the day!

Well, the straps around his hand look like a strap for the fins.

erm...well... by what standards?
compared to what i would draw that's pretty good...compared to an artist like genna...not so much.

I'm a novice... Leave me alone!!

Nah, I kid. I know I'm not very good, but drawing is fun. That's not exactly my best work either.

I really only drew that so Strop wouldn't morph my character into something even more hideous.
