Yeah, I'm gonna attempt it again this year. With "Mouse and his pact with Lucy, also known as Stan, for the return of his opposable thumbs" - sure to annoy a variety of religions and cat lovers in one go. It's all in jest, don't hurt me.

But to get to 50k I have a feeling I'll need an incentive. Anyone got any ideas? It's my birthday early December anyway, so item rewards for myself are a bit useless, so I need something else.

Ideas win virtual lollipops.

I mean look at it. It's adorable. You want to pick it up and cuddle it.

So how the fudgemuffin does it turn into this:

(That gives me nightmares... *sobs*)

I was clearing out my boxes recently (I have boxes to put my art materials/random hobby stuff/notebooks/sketchbooks/frames/envelopes etc in) and found some very old diaries... they went in the bin without a second glance, I can tell you

I also found, more importantly, some old Harry Potter fan fiction (written when I was about 12) and a couple of drafts of my original idea for a story, which I later realised was possibly utter rubbish...

But, it's all NaNo material, so it's presently sitting on my desk giving me evil looks because it consists of about 5 high quality notebooks with only a few pages used up. Faith needs to seriously use a notebook and keep using it... Yes, a book can give you evil looks, before you say anything.

I am presently practising my colouring techniques. So I got a kid's colouring book of animals from Sainsbury's and dutifully got out my pencils... turns out blue doesn't show up on scanners too well. I need to remember that for later use (I knew there was something about blue pencil, but I thought they had to be *special* blue pencil. Obviously not!) as it could prove useful in lineart. A couple of alerts will be those colouring practices, and I'm gonna set up a category soon of a sort of "practice" section; they're too good for me to scrap (bite me, I don't like putting things in scraps) but they shouldn't really be in my main section.

Also, why am I tempted to get premium membership? I doubt I'd use it, but I'm tempted nonetheless.

The red dragon is called Rodney. Thanks go to Doc Rossim for the name, I'll throw something his way later even if he doesn't want it

Angels and Demons OST; never seen the film, nor read the book, I just like that sort of church adventure music... imagine Indiana Jones swinging over an altar and you get my mentality (taking his hat off, of course; gotta show respect, even if you are attacking bad guys in a holy building). Sometimes I wonder what my music shows about me... then I go doodle a bit.

I can't think of anything else to ramble about now, but I'm sure other things will come to me later. Sorry for the excessive reading; you love it really.

I've realised I'm pretty crap at cartoony art, but I still want to do a webcomic... so I want to have a shot at a different sort of style.

And seen as someone, naming no names, is about as responsive as a dead duck, I've given up on even attempting LT3 any more. But I'm utter rubbish at coming up with ideas that last longer than 15k written words...

So this is an open call. Anyone fancy colaborating on a comic sort of thing with me? Writing the plot/script, sharing the writing task, both drawing different chapters or whatver... your choice.

I hate sitting here doing nothing when I want to be creative. An idea for more of a "gritty" comic would be ideal, but I just need to do something XD

*Is much better at short stories than long plots*

(Still looking for NaNo ideas; and I'm sure asking would be considered cheating, but as I'm doing a lot of short stories instead of 1 massive massive one, I'm excused)

Name this dragon!

(Tell me how to embed pictures? )

He's about 3 foot tall, red... that's Dennis with him, the little blue one.

If you suggest a name and I choose it, I'll give you a prize of some sort. It all depends on what you want (my soul and sanity are off limits).

Name away!
