UPDATE!!!
Official Thread in the Art Forum
Sign Up & Stories HERE!!

This is the post I made in the Writers Club thread in C&C:
Would anyone be interested in some sort of writer/artist collab?! I was thinking along the lines of Dr. Seuss or Mother Goose type stories (all levels of appropriateness welcome), where you guys write 'em, and an artist from the art forum does the illustrations. We'd throw a few together and submit ('a few' to ensure that all Writers and Artists are coauthored). We could pick a day, say ...sometime in January? Sort of like a clock or madness day... we could even have a custom preloader, narration, and use that page turning animation thingy, you know the one! :P I just think it could be a great opportunity for people that don't know flash but have amazing writing/illustrating skills to get some love!!

In order to get this going, we'll need some great stories! So if you would like to write one, or have something you think would work, please post it somewhere (preferably your user page so people can comment and there can be an open dialogue between yourself and potential illustrators), then post a link here. I will add it to the list. Please include a brief description.

Below are some sample shots of what a book could look like. The background, book, paper, text/font, and illustrations can all be swapped out with whatever the writer & artist create. Deathcon7 has graciously supplied a fully customizable page turning animation for us to use (ignore the links like 'play all', it's just to show the click-and-drag corners). So it's just a matter of dropping in new content.

I'll be making a thread for this in the Art Forum, soon ...so, until then, if you're an artist/illustrator, writer, or flash user that wants to help put these together, feel free to post here and I will do my best to keep things updated and organized!

Thanks :D

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am thankful for Everything... and by that I mean:
ALL THAT IS GOOD IN MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE I LOVE!!!!!

P.S. I love you all! :D
(Yeah, even you, Max :P)

I finally did it!! After growing my hair out for ...forever, it seems! I finally got it cut. 10" ...yes, ten inches!! I'm donating it to Beautiful Lengths (the adult version of Locks of Love).

Shoop'd for the mental well-being of the children (and most adults)!

They are now available, while supplies last, in the NG Store!

SHOP NOW!!

NOTE: If you have a problem with the Penicorn on the back cover, just cover it up with an angry faic sticker! No one has to know!
