You should do a food update, then mass produce and sell little BIP jello moulds and make millions thousands hundreds some decent pocket change.

some decent pocket change some compliments.

If I ever figure out how to do a food update, maybe I will.

Edit: I don't think I could ever eat anything shaped like BIP. Far too cute. I'd feel horrible. \/\/\/

It shouldn't be too hard. Just cut some fruit and vegetables up and make them into things. Use toothpicks to hold it all together. It's very time intensive, but very healthy and delicious afterward. :v:

Have you thought of a claymation update? I could see BIP being very easy to do in Claymation. Ray Harryhausen has plenty of books out on how to do it, and there are some good freeware programs that let you do it with a webcam. I've used MonkeyJam to have some fun with Claymation.

BIP's cuteness could override anything. He is the cutiest of things.

Some bad news sadly. This weeks update will have to be delayed. My computer is down and will probably continue to be down for a few days while I figure things out or possily buy a copy widows.

Good news though, since I was working on it, I managed to score a few photos of BIP stealing my computer parts to build a kick rear end fort. Remember that? Well either before the next update is finished, or posted with it will be BIP's photo fort diary.

So not all bad news eh? I'm sorry to my loyal readers for all the delays. It's been a hectic time for me, with a lot going on. I will do whatever I can to minimize my down time here though and I swear that I will bring this story to a wonderful and satisfying conclusion without abandoning the thread or my readers, or may mods strike me down.

Edit: While you wait, just make up episodes of a thrilling gritty batman series where BIP is his sidekick instead of robin. I can't fathom the adorable situations that would result from such a situation. BIP has become what Gothem needs.

Double Edit: Cryptic Edge is givin me a hand with the computer stuffs so I'm sure I'll be back updating soon.

Well I need the windows reset disks, and no one ever has them anymore. Whenever you buy a computer, they just slap a sticker on there instead. Im not exactly rolling in the dough, so a cheap fix is much better. Whatever gets me back on my feet and updating again fastest.

BIP's next adventure will be "tiny rage against the machine: computerland crackdown!" :argh:

To Alea Minerva and Canis Ex Machina, I won't be on msn for a while, so you'll have to make due on the animation with out me. Maybe use more placeholder narration until I get back? (Or just work on other parts. I don't know.)

edit: oh grammer. Didn't even see that. WELL then. Haven't you ever heard of copy widows? I don't know what they're for but they're multi use I hear!

Now that my computer is stable again, I can get back to updating. (Thanks to everyone who helped)

Since I need time to work on the next update, let's take a quick break from the story to bring you...




I'll update throughout the week with photos of BIP building or playing in his kickass fort.
These will continue randomly, until the next update, which will hopefully be very good and worth the wait.

BIP's Mood: :ohdear:
Listening To: "No Sign Of Life - Ok Go"


- Here is a photo of BIP, having already finished his fort. He is hiding from a noise he heard. It was probably just my dogs. As you can see, BIP has added a roof to his fort using the side panels of a computer tower. His fort's sign also features a kitty. The lights are off to tell ghost stories, which has added to BIP's paranoia.

- More photos to come throughout the week. You may leave your comments in BIP's photo blog (this thread) for him to read. Well, for me to read to him rather. I'll also do my best to translate his replies.

I'd never have enough time to do something like that. I do think I'll probably run another CYOA after this one though. Same format as Matter Energy Conversion Experiment: F4A90 or the adventure that Shmorky recently did. It'd be less time consuming and I'd be able to update more often. I'm still fleshing out ideas for that, and obviously I have to finish this one first.

Maybe I'll put together something for everyone once the story is over? I have been mulling over some suggestions made. Shmorky might have had the right idea with the book, but I'm wary of trying to sell anything. It'd be nice not to be such a starving artist at any rate. I may do a large BIP painting, but again I'm not sure. I'll just focus on updating more often for now.

I know it's not a replacement for an update, just something to keep everyone amused until the next chapter, but are people enjoying the fort blog?
