Time for Ceramic DM? (judge-free commentary thread NO JUDGES ALLOWED AS OF NOW :) )

[Morpheus]

Ummmmm, I'm not sure what part your talking about... I don't remember a man-ape reference. It definately wasn't ment to be against Morpheus, whatever it was.

Sure...I'll bet. If my Avatar can inspire you to greatness than it has fulfilled its purpose. You're lucky I didn't choose a monkey flinging feces. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

From your story



That is what struck me to make the comment.

I though that might be what you were talking about. Really, I just wanted to emphasize that (from the narrator's point of view) humans are only animals. Though humans are not techincally apes (we're more closely realted to chimps), I think we can excuse the narrator's ignorance. It wasn't ment as a jab at Morpheus, and I hope there are no hard feelings.

 

[Zhaneel]

I didn't think it was a mean jab. Just a cute, worked in reference. And it wasn't, so, *shrug*.

Wish I was that smart, I had actually thought about including a specific mention of a man-like ape in the animals aboard the ship, but I didn't get around to it.

Well, I think it is finished. I can't say I'm in love with it, but with those pics, I consider it a win just to work them all in.

I'll read it over in the morning before work and then that's it. Man, that was hard.

 

[Sialia]

Man, that was hard.

Hugs and sympathy. Also greed to get my slavering eyes on it.

(Can eyes slaver? Mythago would rip me a new one for that image.)

Although.




Ya have to admit, it'd be a hell of an interesting picture . . .

Looking forward to seeing what you've got for us in the morning.

Lord knows, nobody's interested in seeing what just flew in to my head.

(Anybody got any Corinthian Repellant I can use before bed?)

whimper.

Ack - Sialia, I was going to send you some pic comments. Silly me, I didn't write down an email address for you, a PM isn't going to work. (Message is too long and you don't accept them) If you are interested, could you PM or email (davidmoore@zianet.com) me a suitable way to contact you? Thanks!

I am still looking for a way to tie my pics together into a decent, meaningful story.

I wouldn't get too excited for this one. I found I really missed your artwork here. Rest handed me a story last time. It took me a while to get to it, but it was all there in the picture. The tone was dictated by it. The mantis demanded someone lose a head. Right there I got the story.

These pictures are cold. I had a very hard time making a story that was about people rather than a series of events to string the pictures together.

I'll give it this though, it's certainly better than some of the drivel I was writing in college. lol (oooh, some of that stuff was bad)

I will fully admit the following about the story I just posted:

1) I had NO BLOODY IDEA where to stick the robot. So I... er... kinda just tossed it in there somewhere. Hopefully the judges won't take TOO many points off for that.

2) I changed direction mid story. I started out with one thing in mind, and then, you know, this great idea came into mind, and so I kinda shifted course half way. Which makes it lack a little coherance, but I was starting to run out of time.

By the way, if you don't get it, you need to hear more famous jokes. This one plays off one you should have heard before. Unfortunatly, the end didn't work QUITE as well on paper as it did in my head, but that's what happens, eh?

Orchid Blossom - I just got through reading your entry, and thought it was great. The tension between magic and technology getting resolved through the combination of the two was refreshing.

I also thought that the relationship between the narrator and the scientist was well developed. What could have been a cliched interaction (former lovers) turned out to be both smart and touching. Very nicely done.
