Hah! Now I have an image of that going through my head, complete with headbanging tank commander, shaking his fist at every "**** YEAH!" to all the locals they pass. >emoticon

Totally pushed out the Kumi/Junko/Rika fight scene I usually have playing there, and that's hard to do. emoticon

Kumi, Junko, and Rika are the three main characters in my story, for all of you who don't know...pretty much all of you except Joe...

Re: the 'stuff' thread


Now there's a disturbing image--particularly since the only characters of yours I've seen are those two from that webcomic sample you posted in the art forum--and I really didn't need to imagine them in frilly pink magical girl costumes. emoticon

I may be scarred for life... emoticon

Now, my girls in those outfits, that's another story--though Rika's the only one likely to wear such a thing. Kumi prefers more understated (and blue) outfits, and Junko's an unrepentant tomboy--no way you'll get her into anything frilly (and she prefers military green).

I usually have two novel series going through my head (the one with the ass-kicking trio and another one set in the same universe), and I've recently figured out enough details on backstory for a whole new story--a prequel of sorts. So I've only got three series going to your four, and they're all set in the same universe--just at different points in the timeline.

None of them have ever fought on a spinning top with meowing cat faces, but they do battle an uber-powerful evil twin in a crumbling castle located in the very pit of hell itself in the third story...which isn't really as cheesy as it might look.

No, really! emoticon

Re: the 'stuff' thread


Any storyline sounds cheesy when broken down into 2 or 3 sentences.

My two novel series are such:

Society of Magic: Planet Bound Saga (and later a second saga called the Traveler Saga, but I don't count that as a second series)

Normally, my novel ideas and my comic ideas are completely different... and this series is essentially a culmination of year and years of writing and chucking the stories (well, I have them I just didn't continue them) and starting over. In fact, this story is nothing like any of the others I tried to start, and yet it contains many of the same themes...

I'm not going to spoil it, but if any of you guys want the first two chapters as a sample, just say so, and I'll send it to you.

The second novel series was originally going to be my Otakus of Doom Webcomic, but since I may make it into a professional comic through my company, Otakus of Doom Entertainment (if it turns out good), I'm writing it as a novel first... which is how we do all our comics. I may or may not ever make it into a webcomic, but it will definitely become a comic or animation at some point.

The two comics are semi-story semi-gag comics, 3 Crazy Robots and ****s and Giggles. 3CR being the one I gave a sample of, involving 2 robots and their creator (now only a brain) stuck in a brain containment unit with legs, and a trashcan over the thing to cover the wires and junk. ****s and Giggles is a strip about two odd characters, a bummish but actually very philisophical guy, and an overly happy and friendly girl.

Their names aren't actually ****s or Giggles, but that's what they think of each other as, and God randomly picks them while he's bored to do an experiment. Discovering they hate each other massively, he gives them all his powers, but makes it so that they can only gain use of their power if they can come to understand the other person.

There is also another series... TenGoSei, which is strictly for my business, but I don't really count that since I probably won't work on it for a couple years.

Good luck with your stuff Kent, I'm looking forward to any chance to read them!

Re: the 'stuff' thread


Sounds pretty cool--I'd love to check out those two chapters you mentioned.

Interestingly, what started my recent bouts of inspiration was me thinking about submitting my storyline to you for you company. The only problem was that my story started life as fanfiction, and still retained a lot of blatant references to copyrighted material. I needed to do a lot of tweaking to remove anything that belonged to someone else. This meant, for example, the complete removal of A-ko, B-ko, and C-ko from the story, and farming out their plot functions to other characters, not to mention moving the entire setting from Graviton City to my own creation, Destiny City.

C-ko's removal was particularly complicated, as I kinda need a space princess in the story...

But I think I've worked out all the really sticky details. I still need to come up with new surnames for a few characters (can't really use Mano for a demon hunter character, after all...a *little* too obvious. emoticon )

Now if I could just find the time and ambition to write all that up...

I've decided to call the 'prequel' "Children of Destiny" (unless I discover that name's been used already...). I haven't really decided on a good title for the second story, but I've been using "Graviton Mist" as a working title--only problem is that it doesn't really convey what the story's about... The third story will likely be called "Knights of the Fourth Millenium"--which is a good clue about just when that story takes place. emoticon

Kumi, Junko, and Rika's tale is in Graviton Mist. Children of Destiny tells the story of how the world got to be the way it is in Mist, while KoFM tells the story of their descendants, long after humanity has left Earth.

Which reminds me...I still need to work on revamping the characters in Knights...some of them are supposed to be descended from characters who no longer exist in the earlier story... emoticon One of them--Kara Magami--is supposed to be descended from A-ko, for example. Hmmm...maybe she could be Kyle's descendant instead...

Oh, yeah--I have my own version of Kyle (Kyley) Zorel in Graviton Mist. He *was* going to be A-ko's cousin, but now he's just an American exchange student--who happens to be extraordinarily strong and fast.

<Monica> My Kyle can beat up your Kyle!

.... Leave Bunny alone, Monica.

That's Monica Caldwell, Kyle's girlfriend in my universe. Well, *one* of his girlfriends...the pimp...

<Kyle> HEY! It's not like that!
<Miyuki> My Kyle!
<Monica> Mine!
<Taif&Shakisa> OUR KYLE! (They're twins. They share--with each other, anyway.)
<Rika> What're you looking at me for?! I hate boys! My heart belongs only to Kumi-sempai...and Junko-sempai...and Monica-chan and Miyuki-chan and Taif-chan and Shakisa-chan and Sasha-sempai and Zhang-sensei and... (just tune her out...she's gonna go on a while...)
<Me> *sigh*...
<Kyle> I didn't ask for this...

Don't you hate it when characters hijack a post like this...? emoticon

Re: the 'stuff' thread


You have no idea how happy it makes me when someone mentions they are actually taking my company with some degree of seriousness.

My webmaster (yay, I got a free webmaster... crazy coot actually thinks of it as entertainment...) is currently hammering out the designs I gave him for both www.otakusofdoom.com and www.bakachicken.com (my studio site).

Okies... I have those chapters uploaded to a certain url, e-mail at skullbearer@[spammonkey]gmail.com and I'll give you the url so you can download it.


Oh, and Kent, if you ever need anything uploaded, say, a pic or something, I can provide that service for you, as long as its not going to totally drain my 25GB/month transfer limit... ^_^
