no, but good effort!

It's hot!

renamed to reflect the change in storyline.

okay, I broke down and started making the "big giant character list."


should be fun, even with the flow chart. heh.

don't be fooled by that last post. the big epical battles are still to come. it's not over by a longshot.

this is excellent stuff! I am really enjoying it!

how bout dem apples?

Nice Larry Lance idea!! Love the double-agent shit!

And OH!! the Nemo double-bluff! Brilliant, you fucker. I'm literally jealous.

The B-Team! Awesome.

Excellent use of Turkish, btw.

Ozzy = lmfao!!!!

I love seeing you use TOMB's Prometheus as I left him at the end of Heroes & Legends. It's neat to see the "balanced" Pro, the humanity and power equaled. Good take.



THAT'S awesome, dude. Seriously. That was just pitch-perfect. Rypta is a force of nature!

And here comes Viluria! I knew I'd see her pop up again. I'd just re-read that story about a month ago!

Ah, once again Rypta Gudn dies. The 'Supergirl' of this Crisis?

Overall, I'm digging the hell out of this. I'm totally stoked to see what the status quo is at the end (I said "the end")...

AFLAC!

been watching Justice League to get psyched up to finish this. should only be a few more story posts and some epilogues.

one more big fight left. then the wrapping up.

excellent work so far. keep it up.

thanks. we're in the home stretch. I want to finish this up. hopefully this week.

oh, Youtube video poster, you inspire me to new heights. you've always encouraged me to go on.

Rain wrecks first day in Rio Grande
The field made up of PGA Tour members who discount golf equipment did not qualify for this week's WGA-CA Championshipo in Florida, is led by South Africa's Rory Sabbatini and India's Jeev Milkha Singh ishiner.

thanks for reading. :D

nice work grimm - really powerful stuff in your last post.

thanks. it's hard to tell if everything's coming across sometimes.

just the epilogues now.

It was about damn time they got that fucking guy of the sanitarium!

ZOMG epyk!!!

When will your fucking obsession end, Mxy? When?

and done!

from here. . .go where you will.

great work d00d! I think I said it before (although it may seem hard to believe at times), but I learned a sizable chunk of what I know now about writing from doc and you and a little later, from pro. I've always appreciated how thoroughly you get into everyone's characters (not just yours), and I hope to continue improving at that myself in the future.

so we're to blame?

when you're collaborating with good writers, the hope is that it pushes yourself to become better. this board was my first experience with this sort of thing and I feel I learned a lot while here. Pro had been a longtime contributor to this stuff and was my main source in getting involved. we used to have a lot of conversations about this stuff at work or just hanging out. he talked about TOMB a lot. A LOT. haha. so much that I almost felt like I knew half the people here when I started.

I literally had to write something with TOMB at some point. That's stuff is too good not to take it out and do something with it every now and then. You have no idea the stuff I thinking about when Pro was first discussing what became Heroes and Legends. Matching up TOMB and Vanguard members and pitting them against menaces like our own little JSA/JLA crossovers.

Stuff you'll never see. heh. Like Bibbo's funeral and TOMB/Vanguard's attempt to save his soul from an ancient water demon. Epic what ifs.

Doc had done some of this in other places and has a long history of gaming/writing as well and basically coming into this stuff together, I felt a little more secure with someone at my back, if you will. Having someone else to sit down with and make sense of all this stuff. Doc's kept me on track with a lot of this stuff more times than I can remember. Even stuff that I wrote and forgot about.

I'd written before. been published a few times, etc. so I did have that behind me, and that's the main way I viewed this place. exercises in writing, in experimenting and playing with styles and character concepts. I think I improved a lot during my time here. I learned some things to do and hopefully some things not to do.

We've had our fun here. We've had our wars. Epical battles across time/spaace/message boards. heh. Some people I feel like I connected really heavily with. Others not so much. But that's a part of life. Some characters I grasped easily, others took work.

Aside from the prior two bastards mentioned, the main people here that I learned from and who helped me get into my groove (such as it is), were Chewy, Danny, and Mxy. I spent a lot of time in the early days talking with these guys and discussing characters, stories, etc. as well as life and various things in our lives that were happening at the time. I have to mention Gooz as he was in that group initially but after a time seemed to lose interest in the boards and in any real collaborative efforts and just seemed to show up once in a while just to throw a monkeywrench into the works. That was disappointing.

Later arrivals I got to work with to various degrees but who didn't seem to last: Sunhaven, notwedge, SOV, and Blackwulf. I take credit/blame for Blackwulf. While the character was fun, the poster may not have been that great a fit. He has however, found a bit of contentment microbrewing beers and his gf had their child yesterday. The others I wanted to work more with but life elements seemed to get in their way. I know SOV has a successful tech business in Canada, as well as a family. Sunhaven is back on the coast and hopefully I'll see him in a couple of weeks at FCBD.

Then there's Jaclyn. I'm so proud of her and what she did here. Watching her spread her wings (metaphorically) and take flight and become one of the all around best writers here. I hope she gets the opportunity to create more because I really miss reading her work. Plus, we need more pics.

Sammitch, I'm gonna address you directly for a bit. I didn't list you with one of the main groups as we really did not work together all that much on this board. Most of what we collaborated on was RDCW stuff. Though you were frequently late, you improved fast and did work hard when you worked. I feel that that was an important process in your writing as it stretched your boundaries past what you were doing here. It made you think more about other characters and less about technical description.

Your stuff reads less like a tech manual now and more like a story. You're still more comfortable with Phil and your own characters than with others, but you're taking those steps. Write more. Read more. LIVE more. Push yourself past your own preconceived boundaries. Then unleash some shit to blow all our minds.

Last but not least, Get Funky and Kick Some ASS!

The most fun I've ever had writing a post was when I had to keep going back and reading Mxy's last post to dissect it so that Adem could examine and describe the 'crime scene' in Dark World.

that was a great scene.

I forgot Spamm!

Dirk running over zombies is a close second.

that was good stuff, too. I really liked zombie Priest singing Lionel Richie. had fun working with Sunhaven and SOV in that little adventure.

I think my favorite with Vanguard was, either, the Antarctic Battle or Turkish, Larry, and Mick all singing Sinatra while the latter two tripped-balls. LOL.

I sincerely wish we had enough new blood to get another group started. Without anyone new that wants to commit or explore the writing, it just ends up being one or two posters writing for the group...
