The only references to JM in NeS I remember were 1) when he pretended to be Zeus on page 1 and 2) When he was trying to get someone or other to find the "perfect level" in the mid-twenties (page-wise). I also don't remember a Sluggo or an NC, or you for that matter (at least under this screenname). Can you give me some more reminders?


The first NES thread came up after a rather long story thread. Brian Lozier was the evil overlord (ie, palpatine) I was his deadly lacky (Darth Vader) in this case in a space suit. NorthChaos and Slug were in it to. I think Neb was too. Don't remember those people? Well, it's been awhile. Not many of us from back then are left. I think Jepman was there. Kirby might have been, if he was going as the d[face]b thing at the time.

JM: I'll tell you why!--...no wait. I forgot.

J-bob: Right. You think maybe you could, uh...get me out of here? My friends are probably going to miss me and all.

JM: Wha-? Oh yeah. I suppose I filled my obligitory "tie-in with earlier posts" deal.

LRYT: Server has exited the game...

More gratuitous, senseless tie-ins! What does JM have to do with the prefect level? Does it matter anymore? Where will Janitor Bob find himself next? Tune in, and hope you get a better post, here on The Neverending Story Thread!

Isuwen: Cool. Yay psuedo-new writers! :)

Tracer: Gebiyl and Young haven't married YET. The post where Gebiyl jumps on the idea of an evil wedding can be found here, and the link can also be found in the "(starts here)" of the CURRENT STORY ARC part of the first post of this workshop thread (i.e. update section).

EDIT: I forgot to say that, if anyone's interested, the one known entrance/exit into NeShattered is in Hell (which Thand may have found out from talking to Gebiyl), and if memory serves me right, the portal is within a wooded area, nearby some demonic tower in Hell. It's mentioned/linked in one of the last posts in NeShattered, and I'd link it if this laptop I was on wasn't so slow.

Also, just to make it clear, it is NOT my intention to post on the actual NeShattered thread again. If any of you feel otherwise, speak up.

Not me. I honestly have no problem with one person making a bunch of posts. Go Tracer!

Hopefully I'll get access to a decent computer again, so I can easily post stuff like killer wedding cake and deadly wedding planner (oh no, her rear end is too big! Har -_-) and mebbe beta squadron as bridesmaids there solely to distract the "wedding crashers"... though I feel the hero-types need more classically evil opposition, like Nazi-zombie-cyborg-ninja-robot-clones or something...

(Also been trying to think if Evil Geb would pick a best man, or if there'd be a ring bearer or flower girl... been trying to cook up some conflicts, since this story arc was more or less "my idea" and I'd rather not leave the work to you guys if I can.)

I think it just wasn't being written for after the Dreamstate storyarc. I don't think it died or anything though. Not entirely sure.

As for the Bhac/Romanov thing, you might wanna PM West Wind about that -- I wrote that in my one post because West Wind had something in mind. It's up to you though -- I'd rather people post more and ruin stuff than try plotting and wait a crapload of time. Poor Tracer, being the only major writer so far for this new storyarc it seems... stupid being busy as of late. At least I have access to a better computer now (though not my own).

Also, nice post with Evil Geb and such :D

Just to keep everyone in the loop, I deleted 3 NSPs and merged one NSP with the post above it, so now the "new" storyarc in NeShattered starts on its own page. I intend to clean up the first page of NeShattered a little bit as well to strengthen a structure of its own for the thread. In case anyone was curious, the merged NSP was Highemperor's, one of the NSPs was my own, and two were TLTE's -- the only one I'm concerned about having deleted was one where TLTE spoke his fustration towards Highemperor, as I didn't know if you would object to me having taken that out. If so, I can put it back and merge something else or whatnot.

Also, be warned -- Evil Geb will be flexing some meta-fiction power over this storyarc... >=D

Nice work, Sarn and Majir. Hey Geb, there used to be this cool cartoon drawing someone did of all the NeS Heroes back in the original thread. Even though it's mainly of the oldschool heroes, it might be neat to post it on the update page if you (or anyone) still have it.

Edit - okay, that's a pretty vague description. It was a blank white background with the heroes (and possibly some villains) standing in a line, and there were captions naming each character.

I know the picture you're refering to and DAMN that's an old picture. It's the first one Krig drew back on page 16 of the original NeS thread. Since then, some of the some of the standard visuals of those few characters have changed. Still, it's a very good idea, and it shouldn't be too hard to incoorperate that -- something like a good full-body detailed pic in their linked profiles and/or a small headshot next to their character name on the update section. I'll see what I can do.

Really though, I need to get back into the groove of just, you know, posting. I'm starting to become a stereotypical leader, where I have other people do "my" work now... :(

EDIT: Also, this is kind of funny with what I just wrote, but I was wondering Tracer if you could cut and paste your last post on NeSquared, that involved Evil Geb, Morthrandur and Young, into the NeShattered thread, since we've got the whole "things in NeShattered are posted on NeShattered" thing going. I'd much appreciate it :)

Sure. That would put it out of sync with the rest of the posts, but as long as nobody writes for those characters until I move the post it should be fine.

And as for the picture, I didn't realize that Krig had changed how he drew them. I thought it might compliment the update page nicely, you know...

I have to go on a writers' retreat for four days to write the new university play, so I'll be out again. I was hoping to have a more active hand in the storyarc, but after this I'm free. I trust you guys well enough to write for TLTE, naturally.

I'm also interested in getting a drawing of TLTE done. Krig sketched him once, and it was a pretty good sketch, but he never finished it and he's now apparently in limbo.

2006-07-03, 12:37 PM #796
My idea on the drawing is that we should get a sketch up for each character which can then be posted into the character sheet.

I think, though, that we should focus on making sure that each character picture fits an overall theme. (ie will they be cartoonish? Lifelike? hard lines and angles or soft?) The easiest way to do this is to have the same person sketch and color each character. However, there would be some difficulty with making sure the artist is reflecting accurately the author's portrayal of the character. Perhaps we should each individually draw a sketch of our character or characters (I know most of us have some level of artistic talent), and then whoever's style we like best can be drafted into redoing the others' sketches in his/her own style to create a recurring theme.

Thoughts?

I was just talking to West Wind and he said I was a little harsh on Sugarless and I "swept her under the rug." I just wanted to say that that really was not my intention at all. Mostly it was late at night, raining, and I wanted to write something. I figured, funny thing about plot holes is that they always turn up (except in the operating field of certain anti-plot hole devices to certain Astrovans), so it wouldn't really matter if the maintenance dude showed up. Also, it occurs to me that now she has access to the back end of NeS. Anyway, just wanted to apologize.
