(no text) · Anime Jason  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 08:13:27 am EDT  Interesting coping mechanisms. :) (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sat May 22, 2010 at 12:54:39 am EDT  They also had time to kill. (no text) · Anime Jason  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 08:13:09 am EDT  Your cast is developing a drinking problem...  ;-) (no text) · Visionary  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 06:25:03 pm EDT  Yes but, let's now see what happens next when the three of them get sozzled! (no text) · Al B. Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:54:31 pm EDT  Chiaki did get a little tipsy once... · Anime Jason  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 08:27:21 pm EDT  Tipsy enough to start singing karaoke? (no text) · Al B. Harper suggests it sounds plausible. · Fri May 21, 2010 at 08:39:50 pm EDT  Unfinished:  Off The Grid · Anime Jason  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 04:26:33 pm EDT  I can fly, dammit! (no text) · Hatman can't remember the last time he was hoisted like that · Mon May 24, 2010 at 11:32:47 pm EDT  Now you sound like Visionary. (no text) · Anime Jason  · Tue May 25, 2010 at 12:49:20 am EDT  But I can't fly. (no text) · Visionary  wouldn't claim otherwise. · Tue May 25, 2010 at 10:01:36 am EDT  Good last line (no text) · HH · Sat May 22, 2010 at 05:38:26 am EDT  It wouldn't have been if it was finished. (no text) · Anime Jason  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 08:12:44 am EDT  I'm pretty sure "alcoholic androids" is already an Internet fetish. (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sat May 22, 2010 at 12:56:36 am EDT  Yeah, that rule again... (no text) · Anime Jason  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 08:10:16 am EDT  Part of it did seem familiar. Interesting about Anna's fuel cell too.  · Al B. Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:51:53 pm EDT  Stop writing that down! (no text) · Anime Jason  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 08:11:53 am EDT  I could see how this one didn't seem like Jay.  Vizh, I could see, but not Jay. (no text) · Visionary  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 06:22:54 pm EDT  That may be why it was tossed out, don't remember exactly. (no text) · Anime Jason  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 08:12:24 am EDT  Unfinished:  Artificiality Part 1 · Anime Jason  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 04:24:13 pm EDT  So much for a low profile! (no text) · Hatman · Mon May 24, 2010 at 11:34:58 pm EDT  It never lasts. (no text) · Anime Jason  · Tue May 25, 2010 at 12:48:54 am EDT  I'd like to see more of Gabriel and Val. (no text) · HH · Sat May 22, 2010 at 05:39:41 am EDT  They were just made-up characters for the story. (no text) · Anime Jason  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 08:10:40 am EDT  Aren't all characters in fiction? (no text) · Visionary  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 09:32:20 am EDT  Not all of them. (no text) · Anime Jason  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 01:33:04 pm EDT  This is an excellent career direction for her. (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sat May 22, 2010 at 01:14:30 am EDT  She would need more training first. (no text) · Anime Jason  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 08:11:29 am EDT  Nice idea! I could see Val and Gabriel popping up again. Perhaps in a scene with Nurse O'Mercy... (no text) · Al B. Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:49:31 pm EDT  Maybe someday. (no text) · Anime Jason  · Sat May 22, 2010 at 08:11:03 am EDT  I like the concept of the ride-alongs... · Visionary  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 06:20:41 pm EDT  Me too. · Anime Jason  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 08:26:43 pm EDT  I literally have so many of those it would take me a few days to dig them up. But... · Anime Jason  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 12:06:27 pm EDT  I say pick out a few choice blurbs and share 'em... if they're not meant as continuity, they're not going to hurt anything. (no text) · Visionary  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 01:48:19 pm EDT  I skimmed through and grabbed 3. :) (no text) · Anime Jason  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 04:31:37 pm EDT  Agreed (no text) · Hatman · Fri May 21, 2010 at 04:18:21 pm EDT  Applying to Art School. · Visionary  · Thu May 20, 2010 at 11:40:29 am EDT  Goths + wealth = fail.

(no text) · HH · Sat May 22, 2010 at 05:36:29 am EDT  Entertaining character sketches. :) (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sat May 22, 2010 at 01:24:39 am EDT  I don't know if it would be funny or scary to see this group in a bar (no text) · Hatman · Fri May 21, 2010 at 01:27:29 pm EDT  There's a story idea right there! (no text) · Al B. Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:30:58 pm EDT  Geez, your (and Hallie's) Prof's were much much much more interesting than any of mine. (no text) · Al B. Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 05:56:04 am EDT  I really enjoyed college... · Visionary  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 08:45:18 am EDT  I enjoyed the social aspect of uni a lot. :) (no text) · Al B. Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 08:04:40 pm EDT  I'm not sure what this is - could just be random notes - could be something else... · Al B. Harper · Thu May 20, 2010 at 06:29:33 am EDT  If you were JRR Tolkein your family could publish this for millions. (no text) · HH · Sat May 22, 2010 at 05:37:11 am EDT  And then someone else could write a book about it explaining the meaning behind each letter and space and make more millions. (no text) · Al B. Harper · Sat May 22, 2010 at 09:12:09 pm EDT  Well, now I think we need some spin-off stories of the Fawikiotero Five · Visionary  · Thu May 20, 2010 at 11:31:20 am EDT  Yes. But "Sigmund the Superlative Simulacrum" just reeks of being a Killer Shrike character don't you think? · Al B. Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 05:52:34 am EDT  I'm almost positive it was... · Visionary  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 08:55:38 am EDT  So in effect all I did was post a score card. ha ha. (no text) · Al B. Harper suggests that Gertrude is (character not poster) Visionary's aunt. She needs to pay him a visit. · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:33:38 pm EDT  Hatman and the chair of infinite possibilities. · AL B. Harper · Thu May 20, 2010 at 06:34:24 am EDT  A promising beginning. (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sat May 22, 2010 at 01:32:16 am EDT  I'm not sure it's long enough to be even a beginning. More like, the inhale of breath before you start, perhaps? (no text) · Al B. Harper · Sat May 22, 2010 at 02:32:04 am EDT  I hope the infinite possibilities don't include pain inducement...that's more of a Goldeneyed chair (no text) · Hatman would love to know what the plot of this was going to be · Fri May 21, 2010 at 01:26:34 pm EDT  I'd like to know where it was going too! (no text) · Al B. Harper probably had an idea once. · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:34:42 pm EDT  Heh... I have some that are about this long... · Visionary  · Thu May 20, 2010 at 11:49:39 am EDT  Addressing the elephant in the room, so to speak. (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sat May 22, 2010 at 01:33:19 am EDT  Too funny! I'm sure it happened as well. (no text) · Al B. Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 05:49:29 am EDT  Naturally. I'm sure the Mythlands scene happened too... especially since I can never remember which scenes got finished and posted and which didn't. (no text) · Visionary  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 08:57:33 am EDT  Don't you hate how Mythlands magic screws with your memory in such a way! (no text) · Al B. Harper says never trust a fairy. · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:36:08 pm EDT  Angry Young Man #1 [strong language warning] · Al B. Harper · Thu May 20, 2010 at 06:43:38 am EDT  And then he got into a death-fight with Urban druid and was never heard from again. (no text) · HH · Sat May 22, 2010 at 05:35:59 am EDT  Ouch! (no text) · Al B. Harper does need to give poor Urban Druid a second chapter. · Sat May 22, 2010 at 09:10:12 pm EDT  That does kind of invite us to read between the lines. :) (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sat May 22, 2010 at 01:35:48 am EDT  I was equally surprised when I read it yesterday! The document was dated 2007 which is odd because I would have said 2006 was a worse year. ;) (no text) · Al B. Harper · Sat May 22, 2010 at 02:23:14 am EDT  Oh yeah, well double dumb-ass on you! (no text) · Hatman didn't know you harbored such resentment at us :) · Fri May 21, 2010 at 01:25:37 pm EDT  Neither did I! (no text) · Al B. Harper was surely referencing other online personas. Not you guys. PVB is my crutch. My solid soldiers of dependency. *group hugs* · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:39:24 pm EDT  You're probably supposed to veil your feelings for us a little less thinly... ;-) (no text) · Visionary  · Thu May 20, 2010 at 11:50:20 am EDT  Heh heh, it does read a bit like that doesn't it. (no text) · Al B. Harper in truth enjoys meeting you all in real life and wishes he could meet more of you! · Fri May 21, 2010 at 05:48:39 am EDT  You did see the towering piles of sketches, didn't you? Those often have the mystery punchlines jotted down on them. (no text) · Visionary  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 08:58:56 am EDT  I took two of them. Some guy named Adam scrawled his name across them. Are you saying he's a mystery plotline? (no text) · Al B. Harper suggests that explains a lot. · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:40:59 pm EDT  Amy Aston · Al B. Harper · Thu May 20, 2010 at 06:55:42 am EDT  Well Amyied. (no text) · HH · Sat May 22, 2010 at 05:35:50 am EDT  It's hard not to give good Amy. (no text) · Al B. Harper · Sat May 22, 2010 at 09:09:19 pm EDT  Was he named after the Star Trek episode or the Ultimate Avengers HQ? (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sat May 22, 2010 at 01:38:47 am EDT  He was named after the three-legged emblem on the Isle of Man flag, as I recall it. (no text) · Al B. Harper · Sat May 22, 2010 at 02:25:31 am EDT  That's not unfinished, it's a whole chapter! (no text) · Hatman · Fri May 21, 2010 at 01:24:38 pm EDT  Having trouble finishing your story? Just add cyber-monkey-pirate-ninjas (tm) for instant sucess. (no text) · Al B. Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:42:51 pm EDT  That's like a full chapter from you! And it's entertaining · Visionary  · Thu May 20, 2010 at 11:53:55 am EDT  Wait...are you saying my regular full chapters are not entertaining? (no text) · Al B. Harper cries on the inside. · Fri May 21, 2010 at 05:46:55 am EDT  I would never say that where you could hear it. Your stories could use monkeys more often though.... (no text) · Visionary  enjoys all Harper penned tales. The tails of most of the EEE cast aren't too bad either. · Fri May 21, 2010 at 09:02:39 am EDT  cyber-monkey-pirate-ninjas for the win! (no text) · Al B. Harper worries about that. · Fri May 21, 2010 at 07:43:46 pm EDT  It's a shame this never got used, it's very good (no text) · Hatman needs to work on the next Abandoned Legion · Wed May 19, 2010 at 09:45:34 pm EDT  It's a nice downtime moment. (no text) · Visionary  · Thu May 20, 2010 at 11:56:13 am EDT  I'm surprised this one wasn't used. (no text) · Anime Jason  · Wed May 19, 2010 at 12:13:34 pm EDT  It suffers from the usual weakness that dooms this stuff... · Visionary  · Wed May 19, 2010 at 02:24:37 pm EDT  I enjoyed reading it! Good memories back to Magweed's first appearance. (no text) · Al B. Harper · Thu May 20, 2010 at 07:00:25 am EDT  I really enjoyed the Mythlands stuff, both writing for it and reading the rest. (no text) · Visionary  · Thu May 20, 2010 at 11:57:08 am EDT  Perhaps it is time for a return visit. (no text) · Al B. Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 05:42:27 am EDT  Last big story I wrote had Kara planning a visit, it seemed...

(no text) · HH, silly mid-off · Sat May 22, 2010 at 07:09:38 am EDT  It all seems perfectly clear to me. (no text) · HH, silly mid-off · Sat May 22, 2010 at 05:48:29 am EDT  It's the kind of scene I'd write if I knew anything about sports. :) (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sat May 22, 2010 at 01:41:32 am EDT  LOL V-Man writing cricket! We'll have you visit the hallowed turff of Woolloongabba yet! · Al B. Harper · Thu May 20, 2010 at 07:04:19 am EDT  Re: LOL V-Man writing cricket!

Harper · Fri May 21, 2010 at 05:45:58 am EDT  Sports knowledge is supposed to prove that you're not a nerd... but then, this is cricket we're talking about... (no text) · Visionary  · Fri May 21, 2010 at 09:04:05 am EDT  No, this is wikipedia we're talking about. (no text) · Al B.
