    I think you are the only person in the whole forum that cares for my work.*gives a hug*
    The history of ACME in my AU getting revealed has been a slow road. From the late 19th century to being a small side but notable detective agency in the 40's. To ideas put forward in that decade to then a separation of chiefs which nod to a strange AU idea on modern ACME (at least from the 50's forward for decades)

    ..to awe, yeah, I have it really thought out. Even beyond Frostbite into another story named Red Skies happening down the road. (Red Skies is set in modern times. Ivy's commenting to Zack in Loaded Stone helps that setup.) Looking forward to writing a new character to VILE named "Board Sword".

    ... If you can find out if other members of the forum actually want to read my stories and give feedback. I will post them openly. If they have zero interest I will send them just to you.

    Happy Holidays to you too. ❤
    Still don't feel like posting here. Not after getting total rejection over my hard work. The comic hasn't stopped running.
    *leaves ? with assorted notebooks, ? (colored pencils) ?✏and ?with a note that says,"Here are a few things to help with your artistic endeavors." And leaving a ? and a ?with a note that says, "Don't forget to make a wish." * ?
    My words aren't worth anyone's time. ... I'm just going to be silent when giving updates for the comic. ... and I'm debating posting Shattered here when it's finished. Over 80 pages so far and no one wants to read what I write.
    ... I have no idea if these postings are being read. Am I alone in being excited Shattered is now longer than Vocal Canvases in length? The end still feels aways in sight for writing it. ... I really hope this story doesn't dud. To me it feels like every time I try to please people, I fail.

    I couldn't do that. The depth at which I relay words ( nearing 100 pages on a certain story ), I don't know how to write in story bites. I consider that an RPer's talent.

    I guess that's true in a way. But I have done that from the beginning on here. The difference is that we didn't always have emojis. Now we do. Sometimes I even make my status match a story that I've posted. Like with my Female Sherlock Holmes Costume. I'm sure you could do something like that. ?

    Over in IGU back when it was really active, there was a pair of members, friends with each other who RPed a lot. Both of them used to take advantage of the place's emote collection to relay their words. Really amusing to see play out. Not story writing but once in a while inspired by that typing practice, over there, I post like that.
    I'm now 67 pages into writing Shattered and I still don't see finishing writing it in the immediate future. This story is going to be longer than Vocal Canvases. ( Editing in: looking back at earlier posts. This wasn't intentional. I posted an update when Vocal Canvases hit the same page count. ... guess that's just the mark that tells me a lot has been written. ? )
    There is a strong chance I'm finishing working on page 109 today of Loaded Stone. ... No one has shown any interest in me saying my two cents about the latest pages. ... I'm just not going to even put up the minimal question with this coming page. No one wants me to say anything. If things continue this way for the next few pages. .. I'll stop posting them here. ?
    Working on writing chapter eight right now of Shattered. ... I really hope this doesn't dud in the end when published unlike it's connected art. ?
    Am I doing bad with the media I'm creating and sharing?

    ((IRL: @Lucy2... You may have to just start a new account (if the system lets you)... we don't know who all has admin access, so 'password recover emails' might not get seen or dealt with. If you do, I'd suggest a new account, and a series of posts linking to the old account. Keep in mind, we're in Minnesota, so cold is a thing... if you wanna trade, we're open to place tickets! We can't really do anything until we hear from the appeal guy... anytime between the 19th and December 5th, so in theory move-out could be end of December (unless it gets here before the end of this month) or maybe they can stay... no idea. So, the other place door... that's what we'd have to fit everything through.))

    ((So... the latest is that the woman who reported the folks to the police, called the guy who handled the appeal (after we left the room) and told him that if he doesn't make sure to get the folks out of the building, she'd make things difficult for him. The property manager told ma a few days ago, and ma told me today. So, anyone know what that would be called? Coercing, bribery, influence peddling? Would that invalidate the eviction? This is Section 8 housing, so low-income housing. The appeal decision should in theory get here next week or maybe Friday, and they can appeal again, maybe this one would be in real court... don't know. I will advise the folks contact legal aid and see what they say.))

    ((Correction: the parents are caving, they are planning for the move ON January 1st, without waiting to hear what the appeal decision is, and not willing to fight it. I stormed out of their place tonight (punched the call button for the elevator... they may have heard it), because I know they could win the second appeal hands down (they don't want "more of the stress from all this", they would discuss shit when I went to the bathroom tonight). I reminded them they may not get the entertainment center through the door to the apartment, we probably will have to take the claw legs off the table for the first time ever, but they have their heart set on it. ))

    ((My right middle finger, behind first knuckle, left a bit of skin on the button... I was that angry. They decided this without talking to me, saying they were "tired of the stress". They're set on a two bedroom apartment ($154 more than the current, at least), it's up to me if I want to move, they said. Once we leave this place (section 8/low-income housing, the waiting list is over 2 years), that's it... the building manager retires later 2025... she pulled a string to get me in here))

    Did you know.....The original candy canes were straight sugar sticks that were often used to decorate Christmas trees. The first historical reference to the cane shape was in 1670, when the choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral in Germany bent the sugar sticks into the shape of a shepherd's staff. Candy canes remained white until the early 20th century when red stripes and peppermint flavor became popular.
