Yo, I second that emotion, sister.
But, Red was right. You guys are like co-workers. And as such, I will treat you as my own.
So expect my assistance whenever you ask for it, my support when you need it, and my anger when you deserve it.
There were a ton of posts since my last visit, so here are my replies to everyone's posts--these (much like many of the posts) are completely random and in no particular order.
Fox--Red has already given you the OK to feature her in your story. Of course, you can add me too. All I ask is that you make my character complex and unpredictable, and she has to be funny, too. Ya think you can do me justice? We shall see...
Mane--somewhere in here you mentioned that you weren't funny. That is simply not true. Anyone who makes me chuckle audibly is categorically humorous. Got it?
Nataku--I liked your story. I think that futuristic visions would be the most difficult to write. There is no research that can help, and nothing can really validate the content of your story but the ability with which it is written. Plus, you have to rely on the ability of the reader to process and understand it. You want to give the reader enough to think about, and enough info to comprehend what's happening, but you can't give them too much at once or it seems superfluous and/or pretentious.
Personally, I like a story that requires a bit of cogitation. I liked the Nano-stuff, and the explanantion of the evolution of the human work force, as well as the natural dialogue. I would like to see more.
I also agree with Red about Marvel--they likely wouldn't accept it--or worse, would take lock you in some contract and alter or otherwise compromise your work.
