Finally on ff.net!

[Kameko]

I have finally gotten two of my stories on ff,net. I'm under the name Hamato Kameko. Do me a favor and drop me some reviews! And maybe a piece of pizza... :wink:

[Riph Raph]

Oooh, oooh! New fics! *goes running off to FF.net, yelling* I'll be right back!

[enigma-1]

Pretty cool, Kameko. I read them and they're pretty good. Funny too.

[Kameko]

Why thank you! :grin: I'm glad you like it!

[Loolaa]

Awww... but I already read those, Kameko!! Got any new ones? :grin:

[Tinselcat]

oooooh, gotta read 'em! if only i wasn't working today! ok, i'll read 'em later! *rushes off to find coffee*

[HorseTechie]

Tis a couple of interesting short stroies. Okay, the grocery list one was a little confusing in places, but most comedy is anywayz! And the Refelctions story.. I was wondering if you will ad more to that? It's kind of like an appetizer, a sort of set-up for something more, and then... it ends.

Just my humble opinion, take it or leave it! :razz:

[enigma-1]

*growls* ARGGH! I swear I'm gonna kill FF.net at this rate!!

[Loolaa]

Can't you get on to it, either?

[enigma-1]

No, I can't. Not at night anyhow and that's when I'm on the most.

[Machias Banshee]

its up and running!

[enigma-1]

About time. I haven't gotten a decent connection for the past week.

[Loolaa]

Woo Hoo!! now i can get to reading those fics I've been missing! :anime:

[Tinselcat]

Kameko, i read your humor fic! i loooooved it! you have a real knack for humor! i have a suggestion, though. i agree with some people that it got kind of confusing. however, the uninterrupted dialog was a good idea, and it flows really well. i think that if you formatted it more like a script, putting the first letter of the character's name before their 'lines', it would be clearer who's talking, without disrupting the flow of the dialog. write more humor? pleeeeez? *makes puppy dog eyes*

[enigma-1]

Grrr.... I'm still going to kill FF.net. The stupid thing's acting up again.

[Kali]

I know. At the moment (aside from random server problems) they're having trouble with their uploading system, so it's down. This includes anything that requires signing in, like leaving signed reviews.

[enigma-1]

*snorts* So much for the updates I was planning on.

[Tinselcat]

yeah, i've got a story to update, too. i worked forever on it, and it's been ages since my last post for that story! we gotta wait until the 21st!

[Skeletoncrew]

Oooohhhh...you have an update Tinselcat?!?!

*Does happy dance*

[Tinselcat]

well, part 4 of midnight snacks is up, but the update i'm talking about is for a story in a different fandom. by the way, you still havn't reviewed the last installation of midnight snacks! go do that, or i'll hit you with my rolled up newspaper! (hey, i've got the sunday color comics in here!)

[Kali]

I've tried! But it won't let me! *sobs* Eh, I'll leave it here if you don't mind, then.

Latest chapter of Midnight Snacks review: *That* was good. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at Angelo's antics when Don was trying to talk on the walkie-talkie. And then after... whew! You've got me intrigued by this new villain, he won't kill Don, will he?

[Tinselcat]

i'm not gonna tell! *sticks out tongue* you just have to wait until the next chapter!!

[Kali]

Fair enough. That was what I had written days ago when I first tried to review but couldn't. It's a great cliffhanger though, really gripping. *goes to work on her own stories*

[enigma-1]

GRRR! I'm just about ready to take a machette to FF.net! :flaming:

[HorseTechie]

Oh yeah... must get back to reading that fic of yours Tinselcat. This time I'll drink some Pepto so I can stomach what you're doing to poor widdle Donnie. ;p

(Don't worry, I still tease Phish to no end about what she did to Don.)

[Kali]

*is glad her next NC-17 fic has Donnie with a woman* :razz:

Hey, I'd write one with him and 3 women if I could come up with a plausible explanation for it! *lol*

Tinselcat: Ack! How could I miss out on one of your updates?! Sorry! Will go read it and review it...guess I've been kind of avoiding fanfiction.net right now because I can't lot on.

[Kali]

Hey, I'd write one with him and 3 women if I could come up with a plausible explanation for it! *lol*
All you need is the explanation. LOL! I have my "explanation" for four and a half sex scenes within five chapters!

[Skeletoncrew]

Heh heh heh. I dunno, it was hard enough writing a threesome...I'm sure a foursome would be a pain in the rear to write!

[Kali]

*nods* This stuff's a lot easier to visualize than it is to write.

[Tinselcat]

heeeeey, what's wrong with putting donnie with a guy? at least he's enjoying himself while getting some... :evilgrin:

Ohh.. I now.. have his brothers suddenly realize *they* are really female! :razz: (okay, that was reeeeeally bad!)

*looks to Tinselcat* Cause... I say so! :goof: (continues telling herself it's the Vampire's venom making him think that way)

[Kali]

I don't think there's anything wrong with it. *whispers* But HT is a bit annoyed at the percentage of people who pair Donnie with a guy. Honestly, just because the turtle's attracted to another guy doesn't make him gay, like most people think. :roll:

[HorseTechie]

Nah.. I'm just a TMNT purest. If Eastman and Laird say they ain't gay, then they ain't gay.

If it where a story where the original chars were gay right from the get-go, I couldn't care less.

[Kali]

Well, if you think about it, most people don't realize they're gay until later in life. Plus there's always bisexuality if that makes you feel better.

[HorseTechie]

mmm... more ways to spread da diseases around. :razz:

[enigma-1]

Eww.

[HorseTechie]

Yep!

[Kali]

Exactly. I'll stick with fantasy, thank you very much.

[HorseTechie]

*ponders - with an Einstein accent*

Hrmm.. tis a very interesting observation... how da opposite sex is turned on by same sex... porn? Guys are very attracted to f/f, but turn tail at m/m. Whereas, many woman go for m/m in the same way that guys like f/f... but it's very hard for a m/f couple to both like watching f/f or m/m with the other getting disgusted. *ahem...hmm* :wink:

[enigma-1]

Oy.

[Kali]

*shrugs* I'm not at all bothered by f/f stuff. But then again, I've never seen a porn movie so I'm not sure how much my vote counts.

[enigma-1]

Neither have I and I've actually known people IRL who aren't straight. Personally, I'm just not that into reading about it.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: enigma-1 on 2002-06-18 20:53 ]</font>

[Tinselcat]

yeah, a lot of people aren't into reading m/m or f/f. to console HT, in my fic, i think donnie is bisexual. and the vampire doesn't have any 'venom', donnie's choices are all his own. if they weren't, than angelo would be a disgusting, bad, evil character and... he's just not!

[HorseTechie]

Frankly, I stayed away from X rated stuff, coming from a conservative, religious family. Then I got married, and was more or less pushed into it... for sake of 'survival'.

[Tinselcat]

yeah, i can see that. i'm totally unconservative, though there's some kind of stuff i tend to avoid, i'm usually fine with everything. hell, i even write it! (though, not having actually observed two guys getting it on, it's all guesswork... :goof: )

[Kali]

Hmmm, my family's not really conservative. Sexuality is just another part of life, like eating or working.

[Tinselcat]

ya, same here. my family's cool with it, which is nice, considering they came from families which would frown on different sexualities.

[Loolaa]

I'm not that conservative, neither are my family... but... To be honest.. I'm totally bored with sex (To a degree :wink: )
It's EVERYWHERE!! All over tv, in books, in commercials etc. :lol: You can't move for it! It's completely mainstream.

[HorseTechie]

I've gotten that way too, plain ol sex does get boring. But I rather just reserve it as something one does to strengthen love relationships/make babies, not just one night stands and other sinful pleasures. But hey... what can I say, I'm a preacher's kid (who no longer wants her parents to look at her website!)

As far as 'gay action' goes, yep... seen that too. :sick: (aside from the yaoi, there's been many a R rated movie... the last one I saw was "The Deep End of the Ocean")

Suddenly feels surrounded by all these horny liberalists! :razz:

But hey... I only dislike a gay Don. *baps typo demon :embarass:

[Loolaa]

Mph.. I don't mind gay fiction, I go through phases...
Have to admit, I do agree with HT about the 'they weren't created gay' thing.
Doesn't stop me enjoying your fic, though! :wink:

Enigma! I love the 1st chapter of hidden truths, just thought 'd let you know as I can't log in to FF.net. Looking forward to the next chapter... :grin:

[Kali]

Though, honestly, when I did my slash fic, I never thought Leo or Mike were gay. In my mind, they both still like women, and neither think any other male is attractive. It's personality traits they're attracted to more.

[Skeletoncrew]

Well necessity is the mother of invention, if there are no women around...

BTW, I understand that in many cultures m/m sexual behavior is only considered aberrent if a guy is always taking the receptive position. And once again, thats because of a lack of available females. Ya gotta work with what you have.

[Kali]

*nods* Exactly.

[Loolaa]

I read you can get lesbian pigeons... even with male pigeons around.

[Skeletoncrew]

I used to have a lesbian rat. She was always trying to hump the other females when they were in heat.

[Loolaa]

*rotfl*

awwwwwww...

[Skeletoncrew]

There's a fic idea: A beautiful female domestic rat is mutated. Splinter is smitten, but she keeps turning him down. He's mystified. Why doesn't she want him? She seems to enjoy spending time with him? Is it his breath? The gray fur that has started peppering his agouti coat? What?

[enigma-1]

*L* I don't think the world is ready for Splinter to have even a possible girlfriend, SC.

:lol: I had a female rat who was like that too. Her name was really Matilda, but my college roomie and I nicked her as 'Humpy'.

Roomie had a guy rat, Schroeder, and so we had to stick the two together to see what happened. Yes... Humpy was definately bi!

*damn typos!*

[Kali]

That would be pretty funny though. Or better yet, a female turtle like that. I wondered about Vee, but then I realized that romance really had no place in that show so there was no point.

Hey, there have been fics that gave Splinter a girlfriend.

[HorseTechie]

Splinter and Venus...? *suddenly feels ill again and flees the thread like Azure*

[Kali]

No, no... although it was in one fic...

No, I was thinking something else.

[HorseTechie]

*peeks back* Oh... Making her lesby?

[Kali]

Yeah. But I think I decided against it, figuring that she just wasn't used to the guys yet, and they were kinda driving her crazy. But that won't stop me from putting fem-slash themes into my next fic with her.

[HorseTechie]

heh... fem-slash. Is that what they call it? *wonders if beads of chi energy, sais, and bo staffs will be involved*

I have seen way too much of this stuff for my own good (more than of the gay 'footage')... :goof:

[Kali]

I've heard it called fem-slash, for f/f, I guess to seperate it from slash, which most people use to describe m/m. I have no idea where these terms started.

Chi-energy will be involved, and there won't be much actual touching. It's not the main theme of the story. *is glad she decided to combine all her fic ideas into one instead of making three seperate fics*

[enigma-1]

*shrugs* Well, I haven't read any where Splinter gets the girl so I wouldn't know.

Didn't you read my "Boy's Night Out" fic?

[enigma-1]

*shakes head* Nope. Not yet anyway. I'm working on different sections at a time at FF.net.

[Kali]

And there are a few others, like Dawn's Nezumi, and TurtleNinja's fics, and that one that was on Renet's site...

[Skeletoncrew]

Dawn needs to keep working on Nezumi! I must remember to bug her about that.

[enigma-1]

*sigh* Guess I'll have to add them to my list. I've got three other friends who keep bugging me to read theirs and I"m trying to keep up.

[Kameko]

Interesting the way topics turn... *ducks off-topic flying monkeys*

I don't mind the slash too much, but the idea of one of the turtles being gay is really weird. on the other hand, I think yer right about the necessity is the mother of invention... :goofygri:

[HorseTechie]

But.. "necessity" of what? To just feel good sexually isn't a good excuse for me. Many zen monks (and I suppose Splinter too, as truly portrayed in the Mirage status quo) have mastered the art of life without sexual pleasure. :wink:

Now, if it's the reason of them becoming female (like in Jurassice Park and Hannurdock's fic) so that they are able to reproduce for survial of the spiecies, etc... then it makes more sense. :nod:

:lol: good point. I started reading one of those fics -- I need to finish it.

[Kali]

Actually, in my fic's case, it wasn't "necessity" but curiosity when they were younger. More experimentation than actual sexuality. But then, the reasons behind my slash pairing is horribly complicated.

[Kameko]

hmmm... sounds interesting...

[Kali]

*blinks* You really think so? I don't know. It makes sense in my mind, but it's just difficult to explain. People, and Turtles, are very complex, so I don't see how people can label them in "black and white" terms.

[HorseTechie]

uhm... yeah... besides trying to ignore the fact it is a form of beastiality. :goofygri: (people doing it with turtles, that is)

[Skeletoncrew]

Bleh. Life without sexual pleasure is an evil concept in my mind. But then, I'm a Pagan. Admittedly, sexual pleasure could probably not be considered a necessity. But it is very important in most people's lives. Especially men's.

[Kali]

I agree, sexual pleasure not a necessity, my life is pretty much empty of it. I don't mind.

And although I have a slight reptile fetish, (along with weapons, but let's not go there) I'd never consider doing anything sexual with them. But the Turtles, I don't consider them animals.

[HorseTechie]

Oh well.. there's always going to be people at both ends of the scale.

I feel like the dullest girl around when it comes to being sexual. Could live without it, could live with it. But then, I'm a married, stressed out, on the pill for way too long, almost 30 year old. I'm amazed what that equation did to dampen my sex-drive even more. *sai*

[Tinselcat]

gee whiz... this conversation certainly has gotten... interesting... now for my input: in my fic, neither donnie, nor anyone, really, is specifically 'gay'. in fact, donnie considered himself straight until he found himself attracted to angelo. it wasn't the 'male-ness' that attracted him, it was the person. the person just happened to be male, is all. i think that's how i'll be doing my fics, if the issue ever comes up. (i've got another one on the way...)

[Loolaa]

Does Angelo ever pull the scary vampire face, like Angel and Spike...?

[Kali]

That wouldn't be very attractive, now would it?

Angelo: What?!? Disfigure this perfect face? *puts hand dramatically on his forehead*

[HorseTechie]

*gives Loolaa a funny look, then laughs*

Oh okay... since you put it that way TInselcat, I'll give up on the issue. :wink:

[Tinselcat]

kali is right: angelo finds himself perfect in every way, why on earth would he put on such a nasty, mean-looking face? after spending so much money on special moisturizer for sensitive skin!

[HorseTechie]

Sounds like he's related to Lucifer, who is also obsessed with his looks. ;p

[Tinselcat]

nah, he's not related to lucifer. he finds him to be way too stressed out and tense. i mean, the guy could really use a soothing bath, and maybe a loofah.

[Loolaa]

... and a little toy boat to float chocolates on in his bath.....

[Skeletoncrew]

Oooh...I want a little boat for my baths!

BTW, for those of you who hate pop-ups...I've just downloaded webwasher. Its free for home use, and so far its working quite well! Its amazing how much faster websites download when you don't have those pop-ups vying for your time!

http://www.webwasher.com for those who are interested.

[HorseTechie]

ohh... *clicks on link* uhm.. now what do I do?

[Tinselcat]

i prefer rubber duckies to boats, myself.

[HorseTechie]

*just likes the boiling hot jaczzies*

...nevermind about WebWasher.. I figgered it out!

[enigma-1]

Hmm. That just might work.

[Tinselcat]

what? webwashers or rubber duckies?

[enigma-1]

Webwashers. Anything that'll get rid of these stupid popups.

[Tinselcat]

pop-ups have a tendency to make me homicidal.

[enigma-1]

Why do you think I always feel I'm gonna go postal on someone?

[Tinselcat]

ya, that makes sense.

[enigma-1]

Just as I'm feeling right now as I battle these stupid things that keep appearing on my screen.

[Skeletoncrew]

Well then, give webwasher a try!

Yay! Fanfiction.net is finally up again! Its so nice to finally get Hands Free up...plus I'll be able to leave reviews now!

BTW, my Splinter story is progressing slowly. Anyone have any tips on how to write scenes where lots of things are happening pretty much at the same time?

[enigma-1]

I don't think they're completely done. Part of FF.net is still on the fritz.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: enigma-1 on 2002-06-22 11:14 ]</font>

[HorseTechie]

BTW, my Splinter story is progressing slowly. Anyone have any tips on how to write scenes where lots of things are happening pretty much at the same time?

That is a trick to do!

One method I have done, is that if these things happening at the same time are at two different places, I'll put seperation lines or a row of symbols inbetween sections.

But if they are all in the same place, but it's between different groups of characters, you just have to write in a volley. Like one or two paragrahs on this bunch, then another set of paragraphs on that bunch.

Just think of how a lot of movies handle it.. how they will flash back and forth between events in just the right timing you don't get too confused.

I agree with HT on this. *tries to remember a time when she did this*

I can't even get on FF.net. I got fed up and uploaded my latest chapter on my site anyway. They may be overloaded by all the people trying to get their "fix" after being without for the last few days.

:lol: The thought has crossed my mind, but I decided it would be better to not check out FF.net today.

Yeah... I like to write two thngs going on at the same time quite a bit in my long fics... HI NO DE action sequences... Higure... in fact, I totally broke off Mummer's Dance from Higure, to focus just on that, before I pull it back into Higure later in the series. :razz:

[Kali]

Grrrr.... well, it seems that login in has been disabled until the 24th now. *sigh* I hope at least the reviews will work.

[Riph Raph]

Geez... I can't even get past the index page of ff.net. Half of the images aren't showing up, either. And to think I finished up my current fic, too ^_^

I was actually able to get into the fics this morning at about 6:45am *grr*

[Kali]

Makes me glad I have a site to keep my stuff on. *off to do even more writing*

[Anonymous]

Gadz, I haven't uploaded a new chapter or story on ff.net for ages. I might have to fix that when I have time :smile:

[enigma-1]

Me too. I've got at least two stories to update at this rate.

[HorseTechie]

*has noticed the reviews aren't accesable yet*

Buuut, as of today, I have started writing my thrid installment for Mummer's Dance!

Plus Neil (aka the Shredder) liked the site I did for Entservers, so he gave me like 100MG of space, a domain name, an email, and then wants me to help him redesign Ninja Turtles Network. Weee! :grin:

I'll letcha know when I get my new site location set up in stuff too...

[Loolaa]

Oh wow!!! *jumps up and down excitedly*

[Kali]

Wow, way to go HT!

[Riph Raph]

Whoa, very cool, HT!

Can't wait to see what you do with said 100 megs :wink:

[HorseTechie]

*lol* I know! The thought is so... overwhelming!

Plus I can post remotely linked pics here from his server too now (no more having to use my IUPUI storage file!)

*sai* Now to find the time to transfer all 35MGs of my stuff... :wink:

[Anonymous]

Oh...my...god!!!! Dude congrats!!! I'm so relieved everything worked out for you, I was worried about what was gonna happen with your site, it's a cool one. But just curious, what's the url of the site you designed? I wanna see :smile:

Good luck on making a kick ass NTN site design too!

[Anonymous]

Oh and also, with having alla that free space, if you don't get around to using it, wasn't someone saying something about Fortunecities doing the same thing as tripod? Maybe you could host the Fan Fic archive there too if that happens (hoping it won't) if you have too much space to spare.

BTW, what domain name didja get? horseturtle.com? horsetechie.com? Bleh, I really need to update my links :razz:

[azure turtle]

Eep! Congrats on getting all that web space, HT! And finally, Mummer's Dance is getting some attention... :razz:

Hrmm.. I thought of that, but the Archive isn't being as much of a space hog. Plus FC seems to be holding out so far. (is lazy... doesn't want to make more work for herself!) ;p

But the domain name I picked was http://www.turtlequest.com. Horsetechie is already taken, and horseturtle is, well.. too blah sounding. *shrug* So I go with turtlequest, short for Turtle Equestrian, or can be punned as Turtle Quest. :wink:

Oh... the Enterprise Servers URL is http://www.entservers.com I'm still working on the page, so what you see there is the first draft (he wanted me to add a lil more color). Hopefully but the first week of July we'll have the final draft installed.

Just went to the enterservers site, nice work! Blue works on so many levels :wink:

But erm I was also wondering, in the spirit of moving to a new and bigger place, any thoughts on maybe doing a new site design? You know maybe a few throw pillows, a TV news reporter perhaps? :goof: Nah, but I was asking seriously, no really!

Let me know of any developments, I can't wait to see what you do with it dudette :smile: I also went to the turtlequest.com site, it doesn't seem to be up, maybe the order is taking longer than the 48 hrs. But where did you order the .com name? I'm currently shopping for one myself :smile:

There's so many TMNT things to look forward to this year!

[HorseTechie]

Hrmm, I thought about tweaking my site too... but I'm so stuck on what I have there! I was thinking of improving the title graphics (now that I have PS 6 that can save things for the web so they load up a 100 times faster). And then rearrange some of the layout on the photos and art pages so it uses more horizontal space. *shrug*

But what I really want to do is add more stuffs to my site... like all my accumulating odds and ends for the TMNT section.

Oh, and Neil said the domain registry would take a little while before it kicks in. Hopefully by the end of this week it'll be up. (aside from the fact he realized my website was on the wrong server! :lol:)

You'll prolly have to ask him where he went too, cause he even did that for me. What he says for his normal customers, is $35 for the set up of a domain name, provided that you already signed up for 200MGs of webspace (which with the domain name and webspace included is $20/mo).

[Anonymous]

Oh and speaking of new sites, I finally got my own back up from long ago, mucho thanks to Krang ^^

http://come.to/tmnt or

[Loolaa]

Yey!! *jumps up and down with excitement*

Two of my favourite sites rescued from the murky depths of cyberspace!!!! :anime:

[azure turtle]

*does the happy dance and gives Amandatello a mango plushie*
Congrats, dudette! I'm so happy that you're lair is back online! I'll make sure to blaze a path from my lair to yours (in other words, I'll add you to my links section the next time I update) :anime: I love the new look, and I can't wait to see what else you've got in store for us. Good job, dudette!

[Tinselcat]

oooooh, pretty websites! gotta go check 'em out!

[HorseTechie]

Oohh... it's aliiiiive! Yayayaay!

[Kali]

Yeah! That's so cool. *runs to update her links*

[Tinselcat]

love your art, amanda!

[enigma-1]

Does anyone have a clue as to when FF.net is going to be back on-line again?

[Skeletoncrew]

Soon I hope. I also hope that they don't loose any of their stuff! I'm going to be so bummed if all of my 80+ reviews are totally GONE. They were so nice whenever I needed a "pick me up". BTW, I also notice all sorts of weird errors in my three stories there now. I'm just going to avoid trying to do anything there until they sort it all out.

[enigma-1]

*nods* Probably for the best. *sighs* So much for an update.

[Tinselcat]

yeah, i'm getting really P.O.'d about this. i can get onto the main site, but it won't let me read anything!

[Skeletoncrew]

Yes! The errors are gone! My reviews are there too...though they don't have the "review" symbol by the title on the main page.

Grrrr...but microsoft word document uploads are temporarily disabled! I can't upload Hands Free yet! :x

[Skeletoncrew]

Okay, I solved the problem...all I had to do was save my story as a webpage and then upload it. Duh.

So, Hands Free is now up at fanfiction.net...and for those of you who have already read it, I added a "relevant" quote at the end of it.

[HorseTechie]

Otay!

[Kali]

Yeah, I'll check that out as soon as I can get on. *gets that stupid message again* Grrrr.....

[enigma-1]

According to what they put, it'll be at least another 2 weeks before things are straightened out. Now, I know that they're doing their best but at this point, I'm getting a little too PO'd to care. :evil:

[Skeletoncrew]

*sigh* I'm just bummed out over it. I haven't been writing lately (probably in part because of it). Oh well, more time for customizing action figures.

[Kameko]

I've been writing a bunch of stuff, but I'm too lazy to sit down and actually type the darn things... I've got a couple of duck fics I'm trying to get written, several TMNT fics I've got to get typed, and even a few X-men fics in the works. *sai* It would be nice if I could just wish the fics into my computer... :goofygri:

(~I love this new format!!!~)

[HorseTechie]

heh.. and I've been working on websites n stuff.

[enigma-1]

Hey, do you guys mind if I use you in a fic? I have an idea, but I want to be sure it's okay w/ you before I go thru w/ it.

[Loolaa]

Who are you putting in it... what's it about..? You've perked up my curiosity.

[enigma-1]

Um, let's see. Azure, Kali, HT, SC, Turtles, Tinselcat, Gyle, Loola, and a few others. As for plot, it's nothing gross but I'm not telling. That would spoil the surprise.

[Kali]

Sure! You've got my okay. I'm curious about it now, too.

[enigma-1]

Hmm, that's one down. *checks off list as she types*

[Loolaa]

Yeah okay then! :D Sounds intruging.

[HorseTechie]

Sure.. you got my permission to use my identity too, Enigma. ;)

[enigma-1]

*nods* Okay, 3 down. I can promise that I"ll give in credit in the disclaimer. I don't know if I'll post it when I"m done, but I do that anyhow.

[Skeletoncrew]

Feel free to use me for your fic. I enjoy the attention. :P

[enigma-1]

Ok... *checks another off her list* Just need Azure and Gyle, then I can get started.

[azure turtle]

*eyes Enigma*
Oh no...I'm very afraid...but sure, why not. Count me in. :D

[Skeletoncrew]

*claps Azure on the shoulder* Thats the spirit!

[azure turtle]

*sheepish smile*
Well, I hope that spirit doesn't end up embarassing me to no end... :)

[Skeletoncrew]

No, that would be the spirits...as Splinter has learned. :D

[azure turtle]

Oh dear... :embarass:

[enigma-1]

Don't worry, Azure. You'll stay in one piece. I promise. :D

[azure turtle]

Thanks! That's a comforting thought! :D

[enigma-1]

Hey, what kind of writer would I be if I dismembered anyone besides the villian?

[azure turtle]

Gee, I don't know...but if you dismembered the heroes, wouldn't that make your story a tragedy?? Waitasec...does that mean I'm not the villain in the story? Yay! I get to be a good guy!

[enigma-1]

*snickers* Trust me, this is far from a tragedy. Well, maybe it will be. Depending on how you look at it when I'm done. :evilgrin:

[Loolaa]

Gah... I hope it isn't a tragedy. I don't like being dismembered. It hurts... :(

[azure turtle]

*gulp*
Uh oh...maybe I won't get dismembered, but something else might happen to me. Oh no! What if I run out of mangoes in Enigma's story?? :eek:

[enigma-1]

*shakes head* Don't worry, Azure. There'll be plenty of mangoes. :roll:

[Tinselcat]

i get to be in a fanfic?! *dons sunglasses and a fake fur coat* no autorgraphs, please. no flowers, just money, thank you, thank you... *bows in all directions* oh, and i would be honored to be in your fanfic! :D

[enigma-1]

Thanks. Then that's just about everyone. But it'll be a few more weeks before I'm even close to done. I've got to fine tune it first.

[Machias Banshee]

Oh no! What if I run out of mangoes in Enigma's story?? :eek:

a world without mangoes...


Azure without mangoes would be just as sad as a dog getting neutered....dont let it happen!!!!

[Skeletoncrew]

:lol: :lol: I'm sorry, but the comparison between Azure's blue mangos and a dogs...well, you know... :lol: :lol:

[Kali]

Yeah, it's kinda an odd comparison. Wonder how Azure feels about it.

[Kameko]

Hey, what kind of writer would I be if I dismembered anyone besides the villian?


Erm... A writer for "Image"?

[Tinselcat]

*snorts* i hear ya... :dead:

[Kali]

LOL! Oh yeah! *snickers*

[Tinselcat]

poor donnie... :(

[Kameko]

Poor all of them!

[Skeletoncrew]

Except for Mike. Image let him get to third base with Sara, and didn't maim him. Of course, if the series had continued...

[Kameko]

*snorts* If the series had continued, he'd probably be leg-less or something. :roll:

[azure turtle]

LOL!! That evil Image...I hope they don't touch the TMNT again.
*looks over previous posts*
Blue mangoes and dogs??? I don't see any similarities. :razz: But...but a world without mangoes would be terrible! I'm glad there will be plenty to go around in Enigma's fic. :D

[Kali]

*snorts* If the series had continued, he'd probably be leg-less or something.
Yeah, if Rapture (or whatever her name was) catches him with Sara again he's gonna be down one something all right... :lol:

[enigma-1]

:sweatdro:

[HorseTechie]

Except for Mike. Image let him get to third base with Sara, and didn't maim him. Of course, if the series had continued...
man.. you guys are soooo pessimesitic. And here I was thinking Mike'll have a bunch of pricky pear kids running around his feet! :lol:

Spiky mangoes! Ahhhh!

[Skeletoncrew]

Hah hah hah! Prickly pear kids! Now that's cute!

[azure turtle]

Huh? Prickly pears and spikey mangoes??
*gets very interested*
Where'd you go grocery shopping??

[enigma-1]

I'm not even gonna ask.

[Skeletoncrew]

Haven't read the image comics Enigma? Sara was a dumb, very busty, alien girl with a praying mantis-like head, a long tail, and was kinda spikey all over. Personally, I'd think embracing her would be a bit uncomfortable.

[enigma-1]

I've never read any of the comics. All I know are the TV shows, movies and whatever else I can find on the net.

[Kameko]

:sweatdro: ...

[Tinselcat]

*whacks the image people with her newspaper* i've got one image comic for tmnt. i bought it, read it, and i'm not touching another image tmnt again... *sniffs* poor, poor donnie... :cry:

[HorseTechie]

*thinks a bit more* man... good thing Mike does have a shell, cause I don't think "making it to third base" would be very comfortable either! :goofygri:

[Skeletoncrew]

Well, maybe they were soft spikes. What I loved was the fact that Splinter didn't interrupt them until someone stopped by for her. The conversation he and the Utrom had afterwards clearly indicated that they had noticed the noises being made. :evilgrin: Once again, supporting my theory that Splinter is a pretty cool guy.

[HorseTechie]

*whacks the image people with her newspaper* i've got one image comic for tmnt. i bought it, read it, and i'm not touching another image tmnt again... *sniffs* poor, poor donnie... :cry:

Hah... now you know how I felt when a good number of writers like making Donny gay! *orders a round of drinks for everyone*

But it's weird... even though I also thought what Don went through was horrible... what he went through afterwards with the cyborg and THEN that serial killer convinct just made me really feel for him. So I kinda accepted that one... it made sense to me (and Don wasn't dead, dead).

It was when they shot leo and had a poisonous lizard bite off his hand that I lost it. :P (can they be any more illogical with that?)

[Kali]

HT:
Hah... now you know how I felt when a good number of writers like making Donny gay! *orders a round of drinks for everyone*
A good number? I've read three, you know of more? Compared to 187, that's kinda small. Like *checks calculator* 1.6% of authors we have listed.

Yeah, but I understand, I was the same way back when I was heavily into Gargoyles and like 25% of authors were pairing up Brook and Lex. :|

[HorseTechie]

eww... why do I like the ones that end up being slashed? hehe

[Tinselcat]

i slash donnie because he's my favorite, and i like writing slash. if any of the others were my favorite, i'd write slash for them, too.

[Skeletoncrew]

Ahhh the things we do to the ones we love! I'm trying to be fairly even in the stories I've written, but Mike is my fave...and he's the one I feel I can most relate to. Ironically, I am now dating someone by that name (Michaelangelo without the angelo of course), and he's 29. Hmmm...

[enigma-1]

Hey, I got a question for you guys concerning my fic. Do you guys object to disco or do you prefer soft/hard rock?

[Kali]

I don't really like disco, but I don't hate it. And I prefer Country or Soft/Classic rock.

[enigma-1]

Okay. *jots this down*

[azure turtle]

Huh? Does this question go for me, too? Well, in case it does, I don't really mind either kind of music. Though I'd probably listen to soft rock before I'd listen to disco.

[Tinselcat]

*plugs in boom box and blasts 'roller coaster of love'* yeah, baby!!! *discos in 70s fashion victim outfit*

[Kali]

Well, it seems that FF.net seems to be okay for now. They say they've got basics up and running and I managed to update Crash and Burn, so I guess it works.

[azure turtle]

Ooh...coolness! I think I'll check out FF.net a bit later. ;)

[enigma-1]

:flaming: I SWEAR I'm gonna go postal on someone if this keeps up!!

[R-iZZy]

could someone give reviews to my stories? please, u dont even have to read them :lol: just show some support for me... please. if u do choose to do this, my screen name on ff.net is R-iZZy46 and my stories are Metal Gear Turtle and The Masked Murderer (both are unfinished) hehe.

---Just your Ninja Turtle lovin' idiot dropping by to say hi!!!

[Kali]

Well, I'm gonna use this week to catch up on my reading, so I'll check out your stories.

FF.net was fritzing again today. I finally gave up updating this afternoon and tried just awhile ago and it worked. I think. I won't be posting anything else for awhile anyway.

[azure turtle]

Hmm....it was working when I visited yesterday.... :???:

[Kali]

Just a little snag this afternoon. It worked fine a half hour ago.

[enigma-1]

*calms down* Hopefully, it will be fixed again soon. This is getting ridiculous. :dead:

[R-iZZy]

geez... itz going just fine on my computer. youse gals mustve caught something. who knows, maybe u didnt. who knows... maybe im dumb

---Just your Ninja Turtle lovin' idiot dropping by to say hi!!!

[HorseTechie]

Hey, I got a question for you guys concerning my fic. Do you guys object to disco or do you prefer soft/hard rock?
Oh man, it's soft rock that makes me even more squeamish, more so than if I were listening to the BeeGees. Soft Rock has to have all of those mushy gooshy love songs, and it so reminds me of the dentists office! Drills, funny tasting rubbber gloves, and puffy cheeks! Ack! Plus it makes me feel oooold. :oops:

I like hard rock... definately hard rock. As well as classic rock, alternative, rap, christian, some country, instrumental and classical. :evilgrin:

[Tinselcat]

areosmith, anyone?

[HorseTechie]

Oh yeah...

Dah dah, dah dah... Dooood looks like a laaaay-daaay!

[Kameko]

:x Argh. Stupid ff.net. I gave up going to it. The ads kept locking down the blasted computer, and I just about lost it last time. I usually get on at the library, so it's not like I can just restart the computer or download the adblocker. *sai* So when I get my next story typed up, you'll just have to read it on my site. Grr. :evil:

[enigma-1]

*jots all this down*

[Kameko]

what exactly are you writing down?

[enigma-1]

That's my secret. No one finds out until I finish and that won't be for awhile yet. :evilgrin:

[Kameko]

:goofygri: uh-oh....

[enigma-1]

What? It's not like I'm gonna maim or harm anyone. I would never do that to friends. Though I may make an exception in Raph's case. :P

[Anonymous]

I'm just glad I don't really write tmnt fan fiction really anymore, not from my own stories lately anyway. I think everyone's getting a little pissed at ff.net, there's bound to be someone who'll do another site and try and do better and get alla the readers and writers over to their site :ohwell:

[enigma-1]

Okay, I have a serious case of writer's block and I need help. When Magnolia starts teaching Zenith, does anyone think she should go easy on him or just do the worst?

[Kali]

Under the circumstances, I don't think she should go easy on him. She's kinda weary about teaching him in the first place, so I think she should push him hard, to see if he really does have what it takes and if he's really willing to go all the way. Humility tasks are always good, too.
