Typical.<br /><br />I guess I wasn't famous enough. I can't say those are familiar to me. I might have seen them of course, but I can't remember anything. <br /><br />It was a good ol' time that's for sure. Lots of arguing and moderators trying to steer people away from kid-unfriendly topics.

Your account also doesn't have a page on the Message Boards wiki. :P I had two accounts: Brickman466 and Feral_Mutant.

I have a lot of ...That's a very good question.<br /><br />I have a lot of ideas, and which ones I work on really depends on my mood. I think I would say I'd love to see them all finished, so my goal would probably be to become more consistent and hard-working so that I can start fleshing them out, one at a time.<br /><br />I published an excerpt on my blog. I was remodeling my blog and I just got it back online today. https://cap-ranger.blogspot.com/ I only have one excerpt posted so far. I'd love to hear what you think of it!<br /><br />Yeah. It is definitely a possibility. Like I said, my Japan story has a lot of possibilities since I haven't worked on it much.

I'd be interested in reading what you're writing.<br /><br />Thanks! That sounds really cool. It'd be interesting to write an alternative history story where samurai in Japan fight using large robot suits designed with their armor. You definitely should. :)Josiah Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326387473866717475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438102482070329117.post-83252189616642749972017-08-17T17:29:21.801-05:002017-08-17T17:29:21.801-05:00I had hoped people would enjoy it.

I love to try out different genres, but I always go back to fantasy. :)<br /><br />You don't know how happy it makes me to read that. While I love the story, I've sometimes wondered if I should still go through with it. Comments like yours help me realize it is indeed a story I need to tell. And I'm still torn between the two, but I don't think I need to figure it out just yet. I'll take my writing one step at a time.<br /><br />Ha ha, your reactions are the best. XD I need to keep writing that thing if I want to finish it by October.<br /><br />Thank you! ^_^Josiah Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326387473866717475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438102482070329117.post-18866591935396300862017-08-17T17:23:43.824-05:002017-08-17T17:23:43.824-05:00Thank you!

It's almost a relief to know others are "afflicted," if you will, by it as well. That's good to hear! :D<br /><br />I know, it's hard to decide. I love both.

I have made good headway on some though. I just published a excerpt of one of my stories and I hope to do more.<br /><br />I really like "Darkened Slumber". I find Japan really interesting as well. I actually have a story (or two or three) set in a fantasy Japan-inspired land. I'm not sure if I want it to be hi-tech sci-fi, apocalyptic, mystical with dragons, or with huge mechs. There's a lot of options! I should post some of my ideas on that. I have some great art to correspond with it. Not my own art, though, ha ha.

I loved getting a look at all your writing projects! :D They all sounds so epic, and I love how you've dabbled in multiple genres.<br /><br />Maelstrom sounds...wow. Just wow. That is an amazing sounding story. o___o But I'm also very fond of Darkened Slumber for obvious reasons so... I don't know WHICH I'd vote for you to pursue publishing with. Either would be fantastic!<br /><br />Also, I looove seeing more about what your Five Poisoned Apples entry will be about. And JOSIAH. IT SOUNDS EPIC. O_O PEI is a technological center? A human-like android? (I always love those.) Superheros and things?
