Oh, and for all those who have been asking me to release a chapter from The Dying of the Light early, like I did with a few of the other books, Armageddon Outta Here is the only place you'll find it, right after all the previously published short stories, the rare short stories, The End of the World, and brand new stories featuring the Dead Men, Gordon Edgley, Valkyrie and vampires, and a story-that-turned-into-a-novella, Get Thee Behind Me, Bubba Moon.
Oh, and this is for the people who like their videos to fit their webpages a little bit better...
Pffft.

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 4054 Newer› Newest»I'm on my last week of term, which means things are mostly calming down (apart from the idiot teachers who spring assessments on us on our very last day). It's hectic, but in a really good way.
You wouldn't believe how much of that paragraph got autocorrected XD did you see my fail the other day when it made 'roleplay' 'foreplay?'
Autocorrect...has an interesting sense of humor.
Interesting is a nice word for it.
[shrugs]
Not really sure what else to say to that.
...
I wish I could go back in time and punch my grandpa's boss.
What happened?
Mom was telling me family stories earlier today.
His boss couldn't pronounce his name right (this was before they Americanized it), so he used to call him "cheese whiz."
Which is maybe a little funny, but mostly offensive. -_-
And I'm probably silly for still being mad at him even though it was 30-40 years ago.
But yeah.
*surname
Sorry for disappearing. I hate it when people are casually offensive like that, especially when they act like they're in the right and the other person's a drama queen/king for being offended.
And no, I don't think it's silly. I spend more time than is probably healthy wondering what it would've been like if I was a little more confident, a little braver.
Are you still here?
Vaguely...
I'm re-listening to an audiobook...
Okay. I'm revising for French, so I suppose we'll both be drifting a bit.
What's the audiobook?
...
It's called Code Name Verity.
...
I've been email-spamming Star and Adra vague screamings about it for a while, but I didn't tell either of them the title because I sort of accidentally spoiled part. :-/
*skips in merrily singing*
'im gonna pull Geths I'm gonna Geths I'm gonna pull Geths...stupid robot legs off. Stupid robot legs off!'
*bows*
TIE BREAKERS GUYS! IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED FOR THE BLOGLAND AWARDS THEN VOTE FOR THE TIE BREAKERS!
*skips out merrily singing&
...
Hello and goodbye, Silente.
You're strange, do you know that?
[hugs]
I've voted, Sil!
Fain: I might read it over the holidays, I'm running out of good books.
Gah. My parents just got back from parent/teacher interviews and I have to have a Very Serious conversation now -_- see ya!
I'm not sure I'd really recommend it to anyone here, except maybe Lucy or Aretha...
It's very dark.
And I'd be scared of people not getting as much out of it as I did.
But yeah. Read it if you want to. :-)
Okay, bye...
Good luck!
[Should probably sleep now]
Hello?
How are you?
I'm good.
I do not know of this website, I'm not even sure what award voting is. Sorry.
Also, I was reading through previous comments to pass the time and...
Why was Silente trying to commit suicide?
Was she successful?
It is thankful, because I was sitting there like, 'Oh my god, the first person on this blog to smack me in the face is going to die.'
We are all dangers to others, whether it can be controlled or not, it's no reason to kill yourself. It must be hard though, being a vampire and all that.
well, this is a lovely chat but I have things to do, dinners to eat, lives to ruin and all that, so, Goodbye.
Pinch

(Leaves)
Ah, sorry! Got distracted! :P
SORRY I'M EDITING!
Well it's a good thing I went back on to change my profile.
Helloooooooooo, Vivanus!
Vivanus got delayed, I'm not sure how since he is in an out of control chopper and on fire. Hmm, suspicious. Ok you know it's bad when you become skeptical of your characters.
(
He's coming now!

Nora sorta reminds me of Clarabelle and YANG IS TANITH LOW I FREAKING SWEAR
Hello Veronica!
Sorry I disappeared again - went to make myself fancy coffee :P
I'm brilliant thanks - I've had an amazing few days!
I saw a play on Friday, went to London on Saturday, went to Leicester on Sunday, and yesterday I went to Thorpe Park with some of my best friends.
I'm completely knackered, but it was totally worth it! :)
Plus, this Friday I'm going to Wimbledon - we got tickets! :D
Though, I haven't been able to do any writing - got lots to catch up on today! <3
Wow Flora, your life is so interesting, I have done nothing in the past 4 days, nothing, and you, I envy your adventurous life.
Sorry, have to go again.
Sounds thrilling, Flora. Hope you get some writing done soon though. :)
Bye Veronica!:(
Bye Veronica! *hugs*
@Luce: I'm writing right now, so all is good :)
That's awesome. :)
I just finished page 13 of my story and thought I knew where the plot was going. It turns out I don't.
*facepalm*
And the sad thing is, I know where the overall plot should be going BUT I'M STUCK ON THIS PART D:
Curse you, planning skills (or lack of them)
Haha, oh dear - that's exactly what I do too :P
I always know the general gist of what I'm writing, and I know the major parts, but the bits in between them always become confusing :P
Somebody who understands! :D
I would've posted a bit of it on here (just to see your reactions to the awfulness >:)) but I couldn't because of word count and me chickening out. :P
Aw, don't worry! I would never judge you, your writing, or your writing techniques! Mine is absolutely terrible! :P
Thanks, Flora. :)
(sorry for distance, trying to draw Tanith on the back cover of TMS)
That's awesome!
No worries - I'm writing anyway :)
Knit knit knit. That is what my life is currently revolving around. Maybe I'll get some nylon string and knit that. I need wool. I need blue wool and black wool an white wool and green and purple and pink and orange wool. I need different needles, too. Mine are too big. Maybe a 5mm? 7mm is difficult to use when making a tight scarf. Mines turning out pretty good so far. About 40m I'd reckon. No faults in it yet. Actually, might by 50cm. Twenty across. It's gonna be soft. Very warm. I promised my mum she could have it once I'm done.
((Hmm its awfully quiet, I forgot my friends across the pond have school still. Poor sorry souls :P-Zaffy))
(Hey ZAFFY!!!))
(Auto-corrected to that. Haha!))
((HI ROSE!!! Guess what? I can explode Ireland now :D-Zaffy))
(Okay. I will refer to this person as X.
I try to talk to you X. All the time. And you ignore me via Skype. After we spoke the last time, that was it, you stopped. And I've tried talking to you so many times. And X, I'm sick of it. I've blocked you from Skype. And forget about you-know-what. You're never on here, nor are you ever here for me.
Great way to say 'I love you,' hey, X?))
(Uh, why...??))
((Because TDOTL is set in stone so Derek can't kill me off in SP if I do. MUHAHAHAAH *explodes Ireland* -Zaffy))
(This is why I love you, ZAFFY!))
*cuddles Rose* You okay, gorgeous?
Hey Zaf. :)
((Hi Luce! And Thanks Rose! *explodes Ireland again* OH SWEET DYNAMITE BUNDLES LABLED IRELAND, OH HOW I MISSED THEE!-Zaffy))
(I've had better days... I'm just tired... Maybe. I'm sick of a certain person who... Nevermind.
How are you, Luceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?))
(Perfect song just came on.
I knew you were Trouble...))
*hugs Rose* :(
Hello people that have appeared!
Wbd
(*Hugs Flora back*))
((I have a bad feeling Derek is going to figure out I blew up Ireland. I wonder who will be the minion to tell. Em probably, or NJ, because NJ can just call me and I can get Derek's wrath live via Skype. Oh well *explodes Dublin*-Zaffy))
((FLORA!!!!!! *explosivetacklehugs* -Zaffy))
(^~^))
Hey Zaf :)
((I'm back in business exploding Ireland.-Zaffy))
I'm okay I think, Rose... Thanks for asking. :)
If you want to rant or anything, you've got my e-mail. *cuddles* <3
Hi, guys!
I wrote a story. *gasp* :O
And I just wanted to see what you guys think of it. I, personally, think it's meh, but I would really appreciate it if you could give me feedback. If you don't then that's fine, too. :)
(this might take a few comments XD)
---
It was 2030 hours, on the 31st of October, and she'd been sent there to kill Brad Suave.
There, actually, was an extravagant ballroom. Chandeliers hung daintily from the ceiling, lush roses were arranged on the tables, and a soft golden glow hung over the scene.
She scanned the room, looking past ladies in exquisite dresses, beyond men in razor sharp tuxedos, looking for Suave.
Easier said than done, if you counted the fact that she hadn't seen any description of him or heard his voice before. How convenient.
Sarcasm later, she chided herself. Right now, focus on the job.
Letting her gaze wander over the crowd, she wiped her palms on the apron of her French-maid-ish dress. Yes, even though she'd pleaded not to, she had to be one of the cleaners. I ask you, she fumed to herself, how often do you see a twelve year old as a cleaner?
But her boss had forced her. So she swallowed back her retorts and bile (she didn't mind the odd splash of girlyness but this was going too far), slipped into the dress (and makeup. And heels.) and seethed silently.
She supposed her boss had a point. No kid went to parties like this. And that wasn't even considering the fact that everybody here was a sorcerer celebrating the 50th anniversary of this Sanctuary.
And yes, she did look older thanks to the makeup and heels. But honestly, how was she supposed to escape when her shoes prevented her from walking properly?
Idiot. That was what her boss was. An idiot. A hugely idiotic, deceptively sweet little-
"Oh, Mr. Suave! How delightful to see you here!" An airy, silvery voice shook the girl out of her reverie.
I just accidentally saw a City of Heavenly Fire spoiler someone hold me
She gazed at the crowd, trying to locate the voice. Her eyes fell upon a woman an a red dress that swept the floor. It was strapless and tight and her killer heels gleamed in the light. Her pale, whitish blond hair hung in loose ringlets and brushed her shoulders. Wide, pale blue eyes stared out of a beautiful face.
Unfortunately, the girl recognized the face. And oh, no. As if that wasn't enough, she recognized and hated it.
"Don't you remember me, Mr Suave?" the woman laughed. "We met at the..."
The girl's eyes snapped over to the victim. He was, as the name suggested, suave. His suit was impeccable. He even had a twirly mustache, like those villains in black and white noir mysteries.
"How could I ever forget you?" he smiled. His expression might have been easy and friendly, but he was slowly inching away from the advancing lady. "But forgive me, I can't seem to remember your name..."
"Oh, how rude of me," the woman tittered. "I'm Carmine Woe. You can call me Carmine, though." Her heels tapped smartly against the floor as she walked forward, looking vaguely like a tiger cornering its prey. The girl winced. She knew only too well how *that* felt.
Brad Suave smiled charmingly. "Well, um, Ms Woe," he said, edging away a bit too quickly, "I've really got to dash. I think that's somebody from, uh, the Japanese Sanctuary calling me. In a moment, Grand Mage!"
He then promptly strode over to the refreshments table.
Smoooooth. The girl rolled her eyes. Then they brightened. He was cut off from the group. From there, it should be simple enough to lead him outside, then kill him. Now all she needed was a diversion...
But how to do it?
Her eyes fell upon a few half filled glasses of wine. You could almost see the gears turning in her head. If only she had some-
And yep, there it was, in her satchel. An almost imperceptible smile grew on her face. She looked a bit like a waitress, in her frilly apron and black dress. But she could only hope it would be enough to fool the mages milling around.
It would have to be.
Brightening the smile up a few hundred watts, she treaded cautiously over to the refreshments table, filled up a few glasses of wine and set them on a tray. Her hand passed over one, and you could have almost sworn something fell in. She picked the tray up, desperately hoped she wouldn't trip, and walked over to a table.
"Wine, madam?" She offered the tray to what looked like a slightly drunk woman.
"Don't mind if I do," the woman smiled, alcohol slurring the words slightly.
The girl's smile grew wider. My cheeks,she complained to herself. But she held the smile. Handed the glass over to the woman. For good measure, she handed another to the woman's companion.
"Have a lovely night!" the fake waitress said cheerfully. You'll have a fit in the middle of it, though, she added silently as she strode away. Harmless, don't worry, but quite a big shock.
Moving over to the refreshments table, she set the tray down and resumed her cleaning, watching the woman from a distance.
A few minutes later, the woman collapsed, her face landing with a thud on the table. Shuddering slightly, her limbs started to lash out wildly. The crowd gathered around anxiously, mages already trying to work out what was going on.
The powder was taking effect.
The girl went up to Suave, who had raised an eyebrow and was looking at the scene in mild amusement.
"Sorry, sir, but somebody said they wanted to see you outside. One of the Elders, I think?" She had a light English accent and spoke softly.
"Oh. Um. What for?" he said slightly nervously.
"I don't know. Top secret and all that. For your ears only." Okay, you REALLY need to make a list of good excuses after all this is done, she said mentally. "I think they wanted to get away from..." She pointed at the woman and the crowd. "That."
"I'll come," Suave sighed. He glanced around, looking for Carmine. Exhaling in relief, he looked at the girl again.
"This way," she said, waving her hand towards the door.
"Thanks."
The girl counted to fifteen, added ten more for good measure, then crept into the kitchen unnoticed. Everybody's attention was on the woman and the fit.
Once there, she quickly changed into dark pants, a deep blue t-shirt and a black hoodie. "Finally," she grinned. "Out of that idiotic outfit."
She stepped outside of the kitchen, barefoot. She was outside the ballroom now, in a dark moss covered alley. A few of the bricks were crumbling but otherwise it seemed to be in pretty good shape. A crisp breeze blew a few autumn leaves around.
As expected, Suave was looking around, confused. The girl stayed in the shadows and took a breath.
Time for the fun part.
(sorry, this is taking up a lot of comments D:)
(and if I interrupted anything sorry again)
She splayed her hand and the air rippled, slamming into Suave, muffling his screams. Holding it there with her left hand, she flicked her right and shadows swirled to take the form of a dagger. She waited until Suave, who had run out of air, collapsed to the cold hard ground.
"Don't take it personally," she called softly, strolling over. "I was hired."
She leaned over him, sitting balanced on her heels. Took a breath. Readied the knife. And...
His eyes flickered open.
FUDGE
The girl lurched back, startled, as Suave reached for her neck. His hands closed around her throat with surprising strength, forming a choke. Spots appeared in front of her eyes and, trying to keep her calm, she stabbed down. Desperation lent her strength and the blade sunk into his stomach easily.
Suave keeled over, a gasp issuing from his lips.
"Who..." he eked out. Blood trickled from the side of his mouth and he gave a raspy cough.
He lay there, suave no longer. And as he took his last dying breath, the girl waved her hand. The shadows dissipated.
"Fay," she answered with a little smile. "Just Fay."
Walking away, hands in her pockets, she hummed a little tune.
So that's it! Sorry for the sort-of spam, but yeah. :P
Sorry - took a while to read because Wimbledon is distracting me.
But, that's brilliant, emerald! :D
((0That's neat! Sorry was distracted because the tv station FX is my new friend as I'm educating myself and I now can watch Captain America, and Iron Man 1 and 2 all on the one station, which makes me life easier. And Thor is playing again so that means I can see Loki in between my education.
I now am friends with this TV station. -Zaffy))
hey all.
Rose, if you're still here, I've started crocheting, it's so cool.
Hey Em :)
EMMY!!!
^^-Zaffy
That was really good, Em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) *hugs*
Oh our bubble Midgardian has arrived.
*Em being Fay
YES :)
hi, still here.
Hellooo everyone that just arrived :)
Another one. Hello Emerald, I do hope you are not like the others, I hope you hold some form of intelligence
Zanida: Loki, that's Emerald, she was the one Zafira told us about. Lorcan is her son.
Uh oh, I'm being talked about. That's never a good thing on my part.
Zanida: She couldn't find a thing bad about you, if that helps. Oh, I ought to introduce myself. I'm Zanida Laufeydottir.
Um
Hi there, I guess.
Um... Nice to meet you?
Zanida: It is a pleasure! I apologize if Loki is hostile, I think he likes to sound mean.
He doesn't scare me.
Zanida: Awesome! *watches Loki vanish* Then you may want to help your friend, Zafira. Loki has her under his mind control, she's with her family, Ravel knows and the kids do too, but Ravel can't touch her without risking his own death. Loki has Zafira ordered to kill him should he try and free her.
Wow, it's so quiet on here today!
Sorry . . . trying to do my English. :P
No no, it's alright - I'm busy anyway :P
It's just so quiet compared to usual :P
Well I don't know how you expect me to help. I have my own family to worry about and find my son.
Zanida: Your son? You mean Lorcan?
(I HATE ART! OMG EYES! I HATE THEM! I'M GOING TO RIP THEM OUT! GAHJABAMAGRRRRRRR!)
(BUT YOU CAN'T RIP OUT EYES, BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN'T READ! CAN'T TYPE! CAN'T DO IMPORTANT STUFF! GRRRRRRRR!)
Sorry for vanishing!
I'm trying to convince someone to take me to Dublin in August, because I can't go on my own because I'm under eighteen and hotels suck. :I
Yes, I mean Lorcan.
(Aww Lulu, if I had my own place, you would be staying with me in a heartbeat!!
And who is Art, Silente??)
*pats Silente on the back*
I know your pain.
Haha, thanks Em.
I've had friends offer to put me up for a few days too, but my mum's funny about it and she won't even let me go with just Grace or anything because she's not met Grace, so... :/
@Silente: Aw. :(
Eyes are better than noses. :) Be glad you're not drawing a nose.
And THAT REMINDS ME I need to do my art homework BUT I'M DOING MY ENGLISH um OH DEAR like WHY IS LIFE SO DIFFICULT? :P
@Elleni: What do you mean by required?
@Lantern: Hi. :)
I love doing art when I'm doing it voluntarily. :P
Yeah, ditto Star :)
I just hated being told exactly what to draw and how. It's like, no, art is meant to be expressive, not restricted.
Flora - same. Though my art skills are terrible anyway so it makes no difference to me. :P
Always fear, Dugglyn is here!!!!
Be like a duck!!!! Be like a duck!!!!
How be's yous eyes?!?!?
How be's yous?!?!?!
This unit has stated previously - we have no eyes. We have an optic.
Diagnostics suggest the optic is fully functioning.
HAPPY DECAPITATION DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
My brother is listening to old kid CDs we used to listen to all the time and they're really funny!
That's good, Gethie!
Happy decapitation day, Dugglyn.
Hello Dragona, Flora, Elleni, Star. :-)
*decapitates a couple random people*
HAPPY DECAPITATION DAY!!!!
*randomly bursts into song*
Oooooo!! Snuggle puppy mine!!!! Everything about you is especially fine!!!!!
*watches the heads roll away*
Ahhh, I just love decapitation day!!
Hi Fabi!!!
How be's yous?!?!
How be's yous eyes?!?!
Hellooo everyone that's arrived :)
We like snooze in the morning!!!
We like to snooze all day!!!!!!
We like to snooze whenever when we choose!!!
Hi Flora!!!!!!!!
How be's yous?!?!
How be's yous eyes?!?!
Is be's okay-ish.
Mys eyes be's okay, too.
Oh chocolate chip cookies!!! So high on the shelf!!! Hiding inside of the jar!!!!!!
Art is just a selfish pursuit for me and so I only enjoy it is I'm doing what I want to do. :P
That's why I hate drawing stuff for other people.
BUT THEY ASK ME AND I FIND IT HARD TO SAY NO. :P
*it if
Sorry I poofed!
Cows!! We are the magnificent cows!!!!!!!!!
I just had a brain sneeze and realise how fucking stupid I sounded.
When Silente said Art, I didn't realise she meant the school subject, I thought she meant a character in a series I've read.
-_- I feel so shameful.
Hey guys
Yeah, I love to paint. I like painting landscape stuff the best or sunsets, but they're kinda landscape.
I also like drawing crazy drawings. So I'll draw Skulduggery vampires that ate someone's legs and other stuff like that. It's fun!
@Emerald hehehe. I was wondering what you meant! XD
Hi Viv!!!!!!
Happy decapitation day!!
How be's yous?!?!
How be's yous eyes?!?!
I don't paint. Mostly because I couldn't really do it on my bedroom floor without worrying about the carpet. Plus I'm not sure I have any paint. Plus I'm rather rubbish at painting. :P
I like . . .
I like doing art with words.
Like . . .
Like . . .
It's hard to explain what I mean without showing you it, because I am gaining Variety now. :P
Aw, it's decapitation day! Why didn't anyone tell me? I stopped at least three decapitations on the way here!
I am fine.
My eyes are tired of inaction.
(Although of course I'm only rubbish at painting because I never do it.)
(As with everything and everyone in life.)
@Elleni: Tuesday.
So what's up?
Hi Elleni, sorry for ditching you.
@Elleni: Well, I imagine decapitation day is a day to celebrate decapitation and/or a day when decapitations are committed.
Tuesday...
(Not that I really know. :P)
Last time I was here...was going to show you snd Silente my forge but I had to leave.
I say hi and she says "huh".
Typical.
Well, it's only a few letters difference. :P
@Star yeah, I've seen your word art. IT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!! It's really cool!! I don't think I could do that....
@Elleni do you remember in LSODM when Tanith and Billy-Ray are caught by Mantis? Aurora helps them escape and Tanith wants to decapitate her as a distraction but oh course Aurora says no and Tanith complains that she wants to decapitate someone because Tuesday is decapitation day!!
Oh, yeah. HI!!!!
How be's yous eyes?!?!
How be's yous?!?!
Who are you saying hi to dugglyn?
@Dugglyn: THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)
And, yeah you could. :) My friends can just pick up a pen and put letters together and I'm like -_- because it makes me cease to feel special, but see, if you look back to the beginning of my blog, when I started, I was RUBBISH, and I just drew these shaky letters and coloured them in and thought I'd done something wonderful, but I stuck at it and now I make things like my Vermilion word art. Which, whether or not they are good, make me happy. So it's all good. :)
PRACTISE, GUYS, PRACTISE.
Elleni!
I already said hi to you and Star. Right?
(Left, up, backwards, etc.)
If not, HI!!!!
How be's yous?!?!
How be's yous eyes?!?!
[River Song voice]
Spoilers.
So no rp right now, just chatting?
I really appreciate people are acknowledging me and my long list of directions, but whenever I try and say 'etc.', my friend C points out that I am making little zigzag children cry simply because I can't be bothered to say a sentence and I feel really bad so please, if you can't be bothered, think of the poor zigzag children coming home and crying their eyes out because they've got left out, and their zigzag mums saying "Of course she hasn't forgotten you, of course she hasn't, don't worry," and then going and praying like please please please include my son please and -
yeah.
She's good at telling stories.
She tells me this stuff.
It makes me cry.
She laughs at me.
We have a beautiful relationship, here. :P
Well, I'm not roleplaying, because I shouldn't even be HERE, but . . .
*carefully backs out of the comment thread*
Ivy . . . ?
Valkyrie V. Cain?
She's not regular anymore, so we only see her once every few months if that. :/
*whispers*
Star, what we're all the directions? I forgot. That's the real reason I didn't write it out! Please help!
@Elleni I haven't seen Ivy recently. Sorry!
Herrow mortutles.
Hi Trip!!!!
How be's yous?!?!
How be's yous eyes?!?!??!
How be's yous oven? Have you walked it recently?
All caps, must have been important
Bye Elleni!!
Yes, I was wondering why she used all caps.......
Sorry I disappeared again! Wimbledon is so distracting -.-
Bye Elleni. Have fun with your caps.
*VIOLENTLY CRASHES INTO BLOGLAND*
I do not know who is on right now, but I need everyone's attention for a brief announcement! Well, not necessarily everyone. But all those who can draw or use Photoshop or can make good art or consider themselves nerds or students or I forgot where I was going with this speech . . . oh, right!
Attention!
Meow, meow, meow meow meow. Meow mow moo! Mrep meow meeeewww!!
Mo mo mo!!!!
*salutes at attention*
Officer on deck!
What are your orders ma'am?
*stands at attention*
Yes, Clara?!
So, I’ve been working on school, and school is difficult. School is difficult for all of us who are not child prodigies, and I, nerd that I am, am often looking for new ways to learn things or am trying make learning more fun for myself.
So I had an idea.
I am a nerd. I am in love with Doctor Who, Sherlock, Welcome to Night Vale, countless series’ of books, TV shows, movies, musicals, just about everything.
So.
What if we could find a way to incorporate nerdy fandom and things we like into our school work. What if we could make things more interesting? Like fandom-themed textbooks?
Well, maybe not textbooks. But spreadsheets and cheat sheets to help us learn better. Wouldn’t a creative writing class be more interesting if written in Night Vale-ian story format, on a page smothered in Night Vale-themed fan art? Wouldn’t logic be more interesting if taught by Sherlock? What about math? If The Doctor explained math to me, I’d likely understand it a lot faster.
This is an EXCEPTIONALLY nerdy idea, but I love it. Like little cheat sheets or pamphlets that sum up all the basic necessities of various subjects, but made fun and interesting by a fandom that you adore? How cool would that be? I think it’s cool.
Now, this is a project I’ve been inspired to do, and I’m willing to do it myself. I could certainly write them by myself. HOWEVER. When it comes to “arting,” I am not the best. If anyone here is a nerd/fangirl/fanboy and is interested in working on a difficult thing that no one will appreciate and will pay you no money, please, come see me!
It's like fanfiction meets fanart meets not failing your exams.
Is Wicked in there?
That sounds cool!
I'm not really good with art but I'd love to help....
All Fandoms are welcome, though ideally they would make sense to be with the subject they're on. Like, Wicked would be Ethics class. Or Drama class.
And, ideally, if I could manage it, there would be lots of subjects and lots of Fandoms. For instance, Music and Drama would each have several pages, and each page would be a different musical, or something.
Hmm...I really don't have the time. If you need ideas I'll help but otherwise it's a no. Sorry.
What would you need people to do?
That's fine. It's not really a feasible project, as I would have to be an expert on all the subjects, but I could aways go online and find a bunch of great cheat-sheets, and translate them into Fandom.
I would need people who were good at making art to design/draw art for the pages.
(Sorry I poofed)
It could even be something more simplistic . . . something more elegant, but with the same flavor . . .
