I've been staring at this way too long. I give up. Someone help me figure out what's going on at the bottom of the drawing. Is Thunderbark reading a book, or are those Railrunner's treads? Are those Thunderbark's legs or Railrunner's knuckles? And I don't see a sword at all. This is like the world's worst hidden pictures puzzle.

my dad posted:Bobbin, don't force yourself. I'm sorry for posting the "in a week or so" thingy, you really don't have to rush. Nah, it was my deadline to miss. Here's the rest now. I just needed a weekend after I spent the last two on this project. Oh, and you can also get the full project in audio format here on Tindeck. I'll get back to the fanfiction soonish, but there's one last thing I need to do for my book before I publish it...

The Project For the people who skimmed over Bobbin's posts, here are all the links for the dramatic reading/amateur satirical radio drama: Youtube videos (10 minutes each): Part One Part Two Part Three Full version (audio only) on Tindeck: If you only have a minute or so to spend, go to 8:28 in the third video for the most hilarious, stupid, awful, line in the book. We originally planned to include some commentary after the reading, but the reading itself took twice as long as we originally planned to, so it had to go. I'm kinda sad, since there were some good bits there, particularly in Vonder's commentary (I just had to include that one sentence at the very end of the readings) but at least it means that this goon project was actually finished. edit: I had so much fun hamming Ironwheel up like a B-movie villain. my dad fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Aug 8, 2013 |

It's okay guys. My bit of ending commentary was just me rambling about eternal rage, it wasn't very important.

Now this thing is gold! At least three good things have come out of this. There is Bobbin's Fanfiction (and his new and improved about-to-be-published book), Djeser's Fanfiction and The Project. I never thought there would be anything good that came out of this. Now I kinda want to do a reading of Djeser's fanfic but I'm afraid my voice and my nonexistent acting skill would be terrible for that kind of horror story.

What annoys me about her art is that even when they get wounded, they look mildly inconvenienced instead of, oh I dunno, in loving pain! I mean that expression is what you have after you are tired, or if you have a mild hangover. NOT when you have grievous injuries or are otherwise in mortal peril!

Double post, I know, but Miranda uploaded a batch of illustrations for the new edition of Twisted. I hope it's the last one, because that last image... GODDAMN it would be the most perfect summary of Twisted there is. Let's start with the least offensive picture of the bunch. Yeah I mean it, it's the least offensive. Railrunner is here giving Clare the ride that makes him be absolutely sure that she wants to be a roller coaster. Why the hell is she blindfolded? Railrunner VS Freakshow. Looks like she got a redesign. Can anyone actually make any head or tails of this? And for the finale. Everyone has basically commented just how smug all the roller coasters appear to be. Of course, Miranda doesn't draw them smug intentionally. But what happens when she does draws them smug, intentionally?

It's supposed to be a drawing of Railrunner "Proud of himself" anyway. New picture up: quote:Worried I literally can't remember this scene in the book, but this confirms one thing, the "Abruptly changing viewpoints" is back. Also, that drawing on the wall is making me nostalgic for the Snake game on my old phone.

The expressions should be reversed. Static is the one who thinks Railrunner is an insane psychopath, not Marrylegs. Static is pretty cool. If for no other reason than that he's Miranda's whipping boy.

Finished up the book stuff. Now back to this nonsense. Detective Black, Thunderbolt, and Terry the Teacup spent the rest of the night in silence and broke camp the next morning. Thunderbolt crushed and scattered the fire's ashes but left the tents standing; Black imagined it was just one more thing the residents relied on the invisible gnomes to clean up for them. Black himself was less surprised than the morning before to find a colorful box of sugary breakfast cereal (labeled "Gnomeos") and a bottle of milk waiting for him when he woke up, although Thunderbolt and Terry gave him puzzled looks when they saw what he had. Still, there was enough to share, so after a quick rinse in the nearby stream, the three pulled a set of plastic bowl mushrooms out of the creekside, harvested plastic spoons that were growing under a potato salad bush, and ate breakfast. Dropping the bowls by the tents, Thunderbolt led the others back to the riverbank, carefully avoiding the site where their fellow passengers were buried, and began the long walk upstream. The three continued to walk in silence, giving Black time to reflect on his life. Although Detective Black's psychic ability made him excellent at manipulating suspects and witnesses and he could easily spot lies, his tendency to forget small details prevented him from being much more than a middling detective. Between that and being forced into the small Paranatural Department, Black hadn't seen a real promotion since before he married his wife. Still, working supernatural cases proved more than challenging enough; his telepathy made him excellent at revealing hidden vampires and lycanthropes, but it also marked him as a target among spellcasters and other psychics. Interrogating wizards and sorcerers was a challenge in itself since they knew spells to shield the mind, but because Black's talent was constantly active while spells always had a time limit, he gradually developed a tendency to show up at suspects' homes and workplaces unannounced and then come up with excuses to linger, sometimes upwards of an hour at a time. It was to provide an extra excuse that he developed his smoking habit. Suddenly realizing how long it had been since he last smoked, Black's hand shot into his coat and pulled out his pack. Opening the top, he saw that his soak in the river had done terrible things to his cigarettes. The paper of the smokes and the pack itself was stained a blackish-brown, and the cigarettes were soiled, wrinkled, and still wet. Black tried to pull one out regardless, but the filter came loose in his hand, leaving the rest still stuck in the pack. Tossing the filter aside, Black brought his finger in to pry the cigarette out, but then he paused. Although he still felt like he could use a smoke, his craving was gone. Completely gone, in fact. Thinking back, Black decided it was likely another side effect from when the carousel horse's magic collided with the hoodoo magic that kept him alive. Although the detective knew he would probably resume his habit if he returned to his world, he decided the nicotine high wasn't worth struggling through whatever else the river had added to his pack. Stopping for a moment, he threw the Marlboros into the water. "What was that?" Thunderbolt asked, hearing the splash. "Nothing we need anymore," Black replied, resuming his march. The three ate a walking lunch after discovering a buried patch of trail mix around noon. Not long afterwards, the trees thinned out and the ground stabilized enough that Thunderbolt determined he could safely shift into his roller coaster form, and the remainder of the trip was an eye-watering blur. As the sun drew close to the western horizon (or at least what Black wagered was the west), Thunderbolt crested the top of a grass-covered hill, giving his passengers a panoramic view of the city spread out below them. "Welcome to the capital of Plains Land," Thunderbolt called back. "Farm Town."

What's a shame is that, in a movie or something, crazy centipede dragons fighting could actually be kind of cool even if being roller coasters also meant it was ridiculous and stupid. They'd move in strange ways and it would look visually interesting. But in the books she mentions their extra cars like twice and then forgets about them forever. They just act like people and the anatomy fits that, with everything past the front legs ancillary and unimportant.

She also talks about tails. Tails! They do not have tails, they have a long body! I know it has been said several times now, but if this were a story about dragons and other mythological creatures it would be generic fantasy whatever, but it would be better than this travesty. And Bobbin, I got your book just now. I'll try to finish it before Friday and leave a review. Is your second book going to be about Detective Black? As long as it isn't about amusement park rides I think you would be in the safe.

Practical Wizardry It's only on kindle format though. I think Amazon allows reading through its website somehow, I'm not sure exactly. Edit: Yep, Your Account -> Manage your Kindle. There in the list of the kindle orders you've made you can click on "Actions" far right and included in the dropdown is "Read Now" which is for the Cloud Reader. Dunno how this goes for people who don't have a kindle to begin with, but I know there is a kindle reader app available for smartphones and tablets.

In her defense, at least there's some environments here now, as opposed to the empty voids filled with naught but a creature of murder and smug. Perhaps there is a wormhole "off-camera" and that is where the rest of the coaster goes to.
