But wait, wouldn't flogging them just be giving in to their demands?  Of course you could pull off the flogging using some one to represent said annoying readers, even though they might not have sent such e-mails in...

That makes you wonder what kind of drunk Jyrras is. I'd think an angrier drunk right now. He probably has some frustration built up, but who can say?

The trick is a one way mirror. Then it's close up hilarity. :3

I wonder if this is:

1) A segue back to Jyrras
2) Killing time until Lorenda gets laced up
3) Amber saving herself from going insane and devolving into wiku-worm
4)Any or all of the above

i have several ideas, and im relatively sure that one of the stranger ideas i have will be the one amber has already decided on long before i ever thought of it. really people, do you think that a seasoned artist such as amber would be unable to continue a story on her own?

it does raise the question of what readers theese would be, specifically what kind of reader would randomly email the artist fanfics without ever thinking of stopping by the forum to enter the fray of ideas already bouncing round like raquet balls aimed at unsuspecting body parts.

and yet nobody has thought of obvious solutions- such as jyrras making a clone of himself (either gender) or a robot to be his love interest, or even the possibility of celibacy or the development of a fear of relationships

hes a mad scientist for Freyas sake

Post by: thegayhare on March 26, 2007, 02:34:23 AM
See Jyrras's problem here is choices
He has too many already, adding more options will not help any one. 

I myself am a long standing Jy/Abel booster.  Even if it's not a long term thing I think those two would realy be good for each other.

personally, Jy Jy + Kria would be appropriately ... evil.

Ah this brings the idea of Mary-Sues and Gray-Sues to mind.

You guys already know how I abhor such things that go through the mind of fangirls. I already have to put up with a real-life friend who obsesses about Sephiroth and whose boyfriend/girlfriend (long story) thinks he is a catgirl and wears a tail around (no, seriously. Seriously).

I wonder if people still suggest these things to Amber though (putting their own character in the comic).

Hear hear. I've already told people about the evil fuelling those like her...

Anyhow, I am rooting for a Kria/Jyrras coupling, as not only would it be evil but it would further Kria's and the Creature Council's interests. Of course, I don't really see a lasting relationship that way, but still...

And as for me, I really think the comic could use a bat. Haven't seen any up until now; it might be that the noses are hard to draw. But for the love of Hell and all that is unholy, I would not want Stygian in the comic. I think he might be too much of an ass even for Abel's story.

Elsewhere- scene cuts to hilarity already in process

Dan is dancing in front of an audience of very drunken patrons while wearing a tutu, jyjy and lorenda are also dancing in tutus.

Dan- explain to me why the tutus had to be pink
Jyjy- it was either pink or rainbow sparkle, they were out of all the rest
Dan- pink it is

see? scene transfers are your friend and can let you explain anything.


just so my stance is clear- i support the relationship of jyjy with EITHER of the soulstealer girls. mostly on the principle that either one will fly off the handle at the other

QuoteInstant humor, just add fire

Hmm. Given the last one, I'm wondering if Abel's copy is now green...
