Thanks Amerikatt !! *tosses a ball of yarn and catnip your way*

Wow rough day... well thankfully gift artz can make almost any day better (or at least you will feel better in spite of the lousyness of the day).

Speedy recovery for your ankle.

ARRRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I literally just spent an hour quoting entries, writing out long, witty, amusng replies/responses (well, long anyway) and lost it all when I tried to delete one of CR's pictures from the quote...

DARN YOU CR! DARN YOU TO HECK!!!!

*sigh* Ok, I am NOT going to go back and rewrite everything all over again... Sorry, I really wanted to thank everyone for ideas where appropriate, explain why I didn't think the idea would work where that was, and generally ramble on...

But I will touch on a few points:

Fenian

• Quite a few people suggested cheesecake / sexpot pics of her. While I am all for these type of pics (Have you seen the latest arts Katfood got? Yowza! Nice!) these aren't really what I'm going for with Fen. I purposely gave her the smallest chest the game allows... I see her as more cute than bombshell sexy. Personally I like cute way more anyway... But I more want the hotness of Fen to come out secondary rather than be the centerpiece of the pic. Nothing wrong at all with the other way... Not at all! But in the backstory I will eventually write for her, Fenian did that kind of thing and more to survive... And she's not ashamed of it at all but at the same time it's not who she is anymore. It also explains why she has a huge hate on for the Family... I really need to get around to writing that.
• Jophiel's floating book suggestion - Fenian doesn't willingly study. She could probably be a world class mage if she studied, incorporated ritual and talismans, etc... But she doesn't want to be too powerful... she also doesn't want to study! Also had just hit up Wassy with almost the opposite pic - Fenian sitting and studying a magic book and looking very unhappy about it So, great idea just the wrong slant on it
• EnnVee's pose for Fenian - Love it and will definitely steal/ use eventually
• Katfood's Fenian getting drunk idea - There is a team up pic with Fen in a bar in the works... Close enough?
• Powerstream's wagging finger idea - Talking to the artist he thought it would be difficult to incorporate with the other elements otherwise I would have included this
• Red Valkyrja's (hope I spelld that right, too lazy to check, sorry) idea of defeated thugs being seen by the glow of Fen's powers - I like this idea... but if I do use sometime I think I'll simplify it a bit and just have Fenian holding up a charged/electrified fist to provide light as she makes her way through one of CoT's tunnels or such...

• Vivace's Alpha going to Nova form - While Alpha's latest incarnation is a Peacebringer I don't think of him as being Kheldian (is that right? I'm new to these guys) but rather I just think the powerset works well with the powered armor idea. Plus I like being able to fly off the bat!
• Powersrteam and the giant stone Crey Industries sign - Err, does this exist in game? I can't recall seeing it at all. Where is it??? I do really like the idea of his destroying that sign!
• Starwind's Alpha dragging foe being him idea - A classic and something I really should have done eventually!
• A bunch of ideas for Alpha out of his armor - This is a side I definitely want to explore more... I've got one imagine in mind specifically I am just trying to decide on who the right artist for it is - Alpha in his apartment, wearing nothing but boxers, leaning against the front window... I see his bionic arm pressed across the window, his head kind of down and resting on it. Behind him, kind of looming over one shoulder, is his armor - The individual pieces all justa bit crooked to show it's empty. Kind of give the idea that the armor is always with him, kind of haunting him. After reading Kai's idea of him hunting up evidence on Malfearance (that's the villian that killed his fiancee) I think I'll add a newspaper in his good arm, him holding it at his side, it almost slipping from his fingers... The headline something about Malfearance Kills Again or some such - Done right I think this could be a very powerful piece.

• Beefcake picture of Caemgen? Seriously??? I didn't think he'd be the type people would want sexy pics of... And personally, I'm not really looking for sexy pics of guys! But it seems the demand is there... I just may have to have one of these done eventually just to make the audience happy... lol
• Ordinary life scenes... Definitely something I want to explore a bit. However, my take would be more about how no matter how much he tries is life isn't ordinary... Like him shopping in a supermarket and some little kid all bug eyed staring at him, maybe pulling on the hem of his mothers skirt while pointing... The mother trying to discreetly pull him away.. Caemgen being embarassed and ashamed over the whole thing. Or maybe Caemgen having a perfectly good bed that he never has to make because he sleeps hanging frm the rafters? (Not sure he does... toyed with the idea but *shrug*) But even if he does sleep in a bed, he can't sleep on his back - Damn pesky wings... Shame too considering women really belong on top!

That's an outstanding review, Caemgen. Great to hear your thought on what everyone submitted.

Gratz to ChristopherRobin and StormVyxen! Can't wait to see what everyone gets out of all of this.

When typing wall o' texts it works good if you periodically hit "ctrl+a" then "ctrl+c" then open a notepad or word or even an email app and paste it in there. Do this every few minutes... it literally take just a few seconds, and if you lose what you were typing just copy paste it from the notepad and your back in business. I do it without thinking now... you only have to lose a big response once to make you adopt a backup strategy to ensure it does not happen again, the above is mine.

What? People read all that? Egads, that's almost prize worthy in and of itself...

CR - well you have had your share of walls of text lately . But I usually don't worry about losing things midstream... Can't recall the last time comp froze and I lost stuff... Not sure what happened this time, I had cut and pasted your post and was removing the pics to save room and I'm not sure what I hit instead of delete but it sent me to the first page of the thread and when I went back my text was lost

ah well, least ways I was a bit more concise even if everyone didn't get personal replies...


And while I'm posting here...


YO! Powerstream! Be sending me some references soon of no consolation prize for you!

Simple. You hit the backspace key.
In some browsers it is the command key for going back to the page you were looking at before your current page. It also undoes any typing you did.

Furthermore my nearly deleted images say Neener Neener Thbbbbppptttt!

Yeah I have been doing a lot of long posts lately (mostly answering questions)... which is why I save to notepad a lot... I lost a doozy of a retort once many months ago and couldn't remember the exact wording again after that, regardless of what I typed it didn't have the same Zing! lol
Someone got lucky.

I don't think it was just the backspace key...
If it was I wouldn't be making this reply instead of just not having double spaced!

*shrug*

It was last year, I'm over the pain now

Backspace when the blinking cursor is in the the text box = move cursor back one space and erase.

Backspace when your not in a text box = load previous page.

all is takes is for you to mouse click outside the text box once then hit backspace to undo all your typing and go back a page, try it once you will see what I mean.

I did not click outside the text box!!

(I don't care if it seems to be exactly what happened, it was not my fault and CR is still to blame!)

Hmmm, not that it's what happened, but I never knew that could...

LOL are you a Libra too?

And yes I know they aren't guaranteed. Just the mere fact you even offer them is Aces in my book!

Turrets Syndrome? Rikkets?

Or do you get to have your very own disease named after you?

***dons official looking white lab coat and assumes phony pretentious doctor voice***

Are you or a loved one you know suffering from Caemgenitis???
Symptoms may include a distinct increase in pervyness behaviourz towards random female strangers
on the internet and an overwhelming compulsion to commission tons of artz...

...it may also cause you to generously give away much of said artz and flames to shoot out your rump
at random intervals but these last two symptoms have yet to be confirmed.

There is no known cure but if your art gifting gets carried away you should seek professional help.
