Hrrmm... *crouches low, wiggles butt, then pounces Azure for a glomp* ...hi!

*suddens feels akward and lets go*

Our sigs... yeah... well, I am also puzzled by SC's. But mine came from one of the later cartoon eps. It's one of those where Leo and Mike got into trouble, and Raph and Don had to work together to save them.

**azure turtle** · 03-29-2002, 09:57 PM

NOOOoooo!
*echoes throughout the Technodrome*
I can't believe you've joined them, HT!
*gets up, and dusts himself off*
That brings the glomp count to four people! This is becoming a very dangerous place for a mutant turtle...
*decides to hideout near the pyramids, 'til everyone gets the "glomp" out of their systems*

**Kali** · 03-29-2002, 10:23 PM

*glomps Azure*

Sorry dude, but you were practically asking for it. *pinches Azure* You're just so darn glompable.

**HorseTechie** · 03-29-2002, 10:45 PM

Hrmph.. and he thinks he's the *only* mutnat turtle here. Well, *blue* mutant. I'm a digital mutant.

**azure turtle** · 03-29-2002, 11:34 PM

Hey hey hey! That's not fair! Glomping then pinching is against the rules!!

*gets up, and dusts himself off*
What exactly is a digital mutant?
*keeps a weary eye on Kali and HT*

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-30-2002, 02:44 AM

My sig comes from "New Comic Day", I'm not sure what issue it is, but its part of the first collected book.

**HorseTechie** · 03-30-2002, 05:22 PM

*blink* Ooooohhhh! The attack of the rabid easy chair, yah?

And a digital mutant, Azure, is one made up of digital data, not living flesh.

Yep! Evil easy chair! Makes me wonder what Mike has sat on that was more aggressive? Raphael perhaps?

BTW, I printed out a full copy of my story to use as reference...its 10 pages long already!

**azure turtle** · 03-30-2002, 10:09 PM

Digital data?! Y'mean you are nothing but bytes and bits and all that other stuff? Are you some type of Digimon??
*pokes HT*

10 pages long! Woah dudette, is that just your six chapters, or your whole story?

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-31-2002, 02:22 AM

Just the 6 chapters! #7 will probably bring it up to 12. This will be the longest thing I've ever written! Even my research papers were usually only 10 or so, and that was double spaced!

**azure turtle** · 03-31-2002, 03:10 AM

Woah!

Way to go, dudette! That's a lot of writing...I don't know how much I've got, since I write with 1.5 spacing. How long do you think your fic is going to be?

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-31-2002, 03:46 AM

I'm not sure. My plans at this point are to have her tell her story, they'll help her out with a couple things...and well, thats about it. I guess this could be considered an "introduction" story. No big battles or anything.

**azure turtle** · 03-31-2002, 10:28 PM

An introduction, eh? So there's more to come, yes?
*wink wink*

**Kali** · 03-31-2002, 10:39 PM

About the length of a chapter, I try and keep mine about 5 or so pages, by the way Word counts .htm's. I usually write out about 1 1/2 to 2 pages by hand before I even get to the computer.

Which I seriously need to do. Just got a brainstorm that's gonna turn my chapter ten into chapter eleven.

**azure turtle** · 03-31-2002, 11:06 PM

Wow, you write them out by hand first? I always typed up a rough draft first, let it set for a few days, then return to it later on and finish it. I think I'm too lazy to write 'em out by hand first

**Kali** · 03-31-2002, 11:16 PM

Eh, I tend to lose my train of thought that way. It's easier for me to go back over a written page than a typed one. If I let a story "sit" too long, I lose the inspiration.

I sometimes write out the entire scene, or maybe just one sentence. It's the brainstorming part of it. I need something more tangible than a computer screen.

And I can't always get to the computer whenever an idea hits me, and I am so scatter brained it's not funny. I've lost many a story that way.

**azure turtle** · 04-01-2002, 12:16 AM

I see, I see. Well, if it works, it works!

Hmm...perhaps an update to Midori is looming over the horizon??

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-01-2002, 01:32 AM

My writing method is fairly scattered. I do some on the computer, some by hand, whatever is working at the time. I figure thats okay though...this is my first story. Gotta leave room for improvement, right?

I have the same problem! I have to write it down the moment I think of it, otherwise it is pushed out by something else and lost forever

I have a pad full of jotted down ideas and one liners. That pad goes every where with me. I swear people think I am Mad!

**azure turtle** · 04-01-2002, 10:45 AM

You, mad? Nah...don't listen to 'em, Nun! I guess I'm the only one who doesn't write down anything by hand. Whenever I come up with an idea, though, I store it on my computer on Word or something similar. And then I store it on a floppy disc just in case anything terrible happens (y'know, power surges and other acts of the turtle gods).
