Not yet I've been really busy lately, I probably won't get my next issue in until next week.

I plan on reading all of them though.

cool.

So, when do you plan on doing the interviews BW?

I was originally planning on doing them in between issue 1 and 2, but for sure between 2 and 3.

Since you've been first for everything else, want to be the first one interviewed?

Sure, let's rock this!!!

Im almost done; i promise. Stupid no wifi at home and flying across continents.

Is everyone still going to do it? What's the current status.

In Progress I've been extremely busy preparing lectures presentations for my company.

A better update. I'm about half done with my story so hopefully no later than next week I should be good.

Okay, so I'm finally settled back in Ireland, and should have something soon. I just hope people aren't put off by how different the themes will be in this second script.

It's all about the story, characterization, and dialogue.

That's good. I just worry because, while I made the first issue some very standard "comic book" fare, I'm thinking a little bigger and a little more abstract in the second part. Or at least, that's what I'm telling myself.

I read some books on the plane, lol.

What do you mean by abstract?

Just in the sense that I'm dealing with larger themes and concepts than simply "good guys punch bad guys". I was re-reading Paradise Lost on the plane, and it got me thinking about my main villain. Originally he was just going to be that, a villain. A (hopefully) well written one, but still a very cookie cutter one. But then I thought about making him something more than that. About taking a concept and twisting it a little so that it would be a little different from the norm.

I think it's clever, but I could be wrong.

j/k sounds very exciting I look forward to it.

Kneeling before liZod won't hurt anybody's chances. sneer

Has anyone heard from Oliver North or Starscream?

No, sorry.

saving the long explanation, I've been an emo-wreck after my grandfather's death + finishing my masters + finding a new job + trying not to lose my apartment and needing to move thousands of miles back to my parent's house + everything else in probably the most chaotic 2-3 months in my life.

I should have mentioned something, but I'm hoping either to have something up tonight or this weekend, I have a job shadowing/interview tomorrow though /shrug.

so ya, I'm not out, not so much interested in winning so much as I am in finishing the story, sorry for the lack of replies, it is way easier to make snarky replies in the VS or GDF forums than it is to write the story 😛

I'm not out, I'll obviously admit defeat against other competitors, but in terms of personal goals, I WILL FINISH THIS ****ING STORY.

Hang tough man. Sorry about your grandfather; I lost mine a few years back. 🙁

No shame in taking your time when real life slaps you around.

its embarrassing how much the kind words of e-friends actually mean...

but thanks

EDIT: don't mean anything negative by that, more just saying you=friend
