Ha! Don't worry, it was a touchy subject, I thought I shouldn't push it.

She's made a bit of a transition, there's going to be some fiction on the site above regarding her, as well the Holy Roman Emperor being a cannibal and other fun stuff.

Anyone else noticed that of all the universities that Daniel could have a sweater for, he picked the one with the most boring name?

Splatterable certainly does equal funny...hmm, maybe Daniel needs a bigger role in the future...one that requires dropcloths and lots of cleaning solution afterwards...after all, I wouldn't want anyone thinking I was leaving the humans out of things, don't want the HiFDL upset with me...

Don't worry, Stefke, no plans to splatter Daniel for at least the next, ooh...three or four pages. Beyond that, I can make no guarantees, of course, as to anyone's splatter-potential.

Aido, that sounds awesome. And makes me want to recommend the "Temaraire" series of books by Naomi Novik to you. They are the Napoleonic Wars, only with dragons. Sounds like your cup of tea.

Mamelakazam, clearly Dolph is a pedantic person who likes stating the obvious and annoying his friends with it. Most people would indeed be able to assume its black humor from its name and illustrations, but Dolph...well, I guess he's a bit of a mooncalf.

As to Vince, well, you have to remember, no matter how wussy he is when it comes to sunlight, he's also a really big fan of annoying people. (Just ask Mandy.) If there's anything that'll get him to crawl out of his hole and brave the rays of the dreaded daystar, it's the chance to drive someone he knows nuts. I think it means he likes you. And by likes, I mean wants to torment gleefully.
Or maybe he's just really eager for those chibivamps!

To finish up, I'm afraid that there will definitely not be two pages a week anytime in the near future. It's actually been harder, so far, to get out the one page than it was down at school, because less of my time is automatically set aside as drawing-time. I certainly intend to keep up with the updates as they are, though, that's for sure. I'm just trying to do other stuff, too -- like draw superheroes and suchlike to send off to editors at comic book companies, in hopes of getting an actual job drawing comics eventually. Which is, you know, fun, but time consuming.

I think everyone sympathises with you, since we're all enjoying the fun that is trying to find a funkin' job at the moment.

Dragons? Damn, I completely forgot dragons. Damn dave and his getting me sucked into his bizarre socialist paradise Ireland with fairies idea. (That's what it was, originally, I could have killed him. We're still not sure what we're doing with Grainne O' Malley though...)

Daniel's important, don't leave him such menial roles! Anyway, I'm sure the humans would get even more annoyed at getting all the sucky jobs. Though that's usually all they can manage...

And Daniel presents the appropriate response:

"...what?"

Way to help me fight your corner there,Danny boy...

Oh yeah, he's really being a shining beacon of humanity's worth and potential, isn't he?
Great timing.

(Ooh, definitely find a good use for Gracie, Aido, I love her!)

It's not called a collaberative project because I'm doing it on my own!

If you want to stick your two cents in, nows the time, there's an elf haven around Galway bay aswell, so that makes things even more interesting.

On reflection, Daniel's not all bad, really, is he?

If anyone else had answered, imagine the questions...

(What's with the ears/mass of body hair/spontanious combustion/narcissism.)

An...elf...haven?
Ooooh, why do you tempt me like this when I have no time?
(Because there are elves, and Grace O'Malley, and other awesomeness, and so I must make time, of course. Sigh!)

And oh, my, thank you for making me picture that and giggle. It would have gone over soooo well...

Oh you don't have time?

I started this mid way through a re-draft of the WORST PEICE OF WRITING I HAVE EVER COMMITED TO PAPER. Predictably, it's the one I get marked on.

anyway, all I need is a few ideas...

Ok, I'll stop harassing you, honest I will.

How's the work hunt going? As well as mine?

Oh he's good.

Can we give him a doggy biscuit?

Way to shoot her down and get her in your pocket at the same time...

Oh yeah, work hunt's great...I should really get on that, shouldn't I? Hope you're having better luck, or at least doing more. I really, really need to get some serious drawing done...

But I think I can manage to squeeze in a few ideas for you sometime soon. It all just sounds too tempting to stay away from. I like the site, the Dockside Inn sounds fun, I'd like to go visit. And the proprietor is fantastic.
(Oooh, Sea Elves, nice...)


Doggy biscuit. Heh. Absolutely.

(edited because I cannot type, apparently. Bah, spelling.)

Ah, the proprieter...

See...

Yeah, that's mostly Dave's fault. But basically, there's a small short story on the forum.

The proprieter is eh...

He's based on me, apparently. Glad you like to forum, I won't be on unfortunately, until thesis is finished. That is the way of things unfortunately. But that means I can be contributing by... Wednesday?

Also, if anyone's busy, I need a name for slightly psychotic vampire character.

A normal-ish late medieval sort of name, I'm starting a new RPG campaign and these guys are about to meet an extremely scary lady.

She'll appear.

She'll butcher a group of knights of the raven, all of whom are better fighters than anyone in the PC group. As well as being considered "good" guys.

She'll gorge herself on their blood.

She'll walk up to the PC's...

"Hi, you must be the people I'm supposed to be working with..."

I'm afraid my dialogue wasn't very interesting. I just got the elements of whatshername threatening them and them calling her charming. Whereas I should have made up a song number. Oh well.

Did you still need that vampire name Aido or have you got one by now? (Since it's been almost a month. ) I'm not sure if I even know what names were normal-ish in medieval times.

Apologies for my absenteeism...and the update-fail...

And I'd also be glad to help out, on the off-chance that we aren't already too late for the name. (Love her introduction, by the way!) Oh, and this might come in handy: For naming-assistance in general, my favorite website resource is http://www.20000-names.com/

I also apologize for offering nothing useful Elf-or-otherwise in regards to your awesome project beyond my "sea-elves squee!" glee. Which is an awfully regrettable rhyme, but one atrocious enough that I think I won't retype with better words, because people other than me -- i.e. you lot -- should also get to appreciate that pain. Spike's poetry was better... Anyway! Apologies, and I really will try and offer more that might be of some use...er, soon as I can. Good luck!

And Mamelakazam...hey, awesome, that means you could figure out what was going on, roughly, without the dialog! That page was a storytelling success, huzzah! My thanks.
...although a song number sounds really tempting...heh heh...

I like today's "no shit" moment. I knew there was something else they needed to cover...

Aw Dolores aren't you all pretty with your hair down! [ducks] (If she hasn't killed me by now after that costume and chibi she isn't going to. Or you know, she's waiting. But it still isn't now.)

Well, as I said in the Hallowe'en thread...if they don't know where you live...

Also, want cibivamps!

Oh... oh that is CHEATING! Cheating, I say... [scowls] Stupid loopholes of wording... Yeah... the chibivamps (that is so a word, spellcheck!) would probably actually be finished if not for Vince messing things up. As he does. Technically I think he's messed up multiple mini-projects now. And he still has the gall to shove a portrait commission in my face at eight in the gorram morning on Monday! The hell! Hrrrgh... stupid little vampire I shall have my REVENGE!
Okay, proper motivation is in place for finishing them now. Excellent. By telling someone else a deadline then I have to actually get to it, so by the end of the month! Hopefully sooner, sheesh, it's not like I have that much to do on them... ) I guess Dolores kind of flashed in with a death threat that day too... but at least she didn't want me to draw it.
Can you tell I'm putting off homework with this post?

Heh heh heh, those are the best kinds of posts.
And you know what else you could do to put off homework? Draw chibivamps.

*surfaces again*

I'm back!

I hate EVERYBODY!!!

Except you guys, obviously, and my fiance, maybe a few others.

That is one incredibly harsh mistress right there, how much research can you do in a sling?

Won't Daniel be worried about germs on the mouldy section?
