Hey, this forums been dead for a while... let's get it moving again!!! I'm trying to get time to work, but I've been so busy lately...

I will (*attempt*) to have it done by the end of the week. I have nothing tomorrow. Yipee.

Woohoo! Thats exactly the spirit I like to see, yeah!

It'll be a challenge though - Basic Mandarin Chinese is proving to be much, much, much, much toughter than I originally anticipated, although the general title of the class itself is a dead giveaway.

So, I think as we were....I think we were discussing the fine points of bulky-headed eight-year-olds and unusually slender-necked redheaded redheads.

Has anyone noticed that mac's head is actually 9 times his body mass?

And eduardo has pancake feet.

Nine times his body mass? Where does one bring up that kind of statistic?

Ha, mind you this is being asked entirely out of curiousity...there's no way I'm going to try and argue with you on the matter of everyone's favorite disproportionately-built eight-year-old.

It's not hard getting Mac's head perfect in PhotoShop, I'll give you that. Where Lucy gives me great difficulty, Charlie Brown with his round head and Mac are easy with the circle tool and "Rounded Rectangle" tool.

And that in its self is a great accomplishment in my book.

Hey, despite all that the little guy has to put up with, at least Mac has a buddy who mostly likely knows of all the ups and downs of being a disproportionate child.....

Honsety, has anyone taken a good look at Goo, recently? She's all limbs, has a head three times wider than her body, and absolutely no torso or anything of that sort. How can she stand up with so much weight on her neck compared to the rest of her?

No offense meant or anything - those too oddly-designed children can hang out with each other as much as they can, because honestly, I'm a massive fan of MacxGoo.

Look at mac's head. three of mac'storso/legs can fit in side by side. since his head is 3d or at least square from all angles i"VE seen, that means it's a 3x3 grid and that is 9.

Goo's got a torso, but yeat, it's teeny. I mean ,look at wilt!

As for your most recent story bit...

jeez, this is stuill going on? At least terrence redeems himself, i have to say. I'm glad he does. The manner in which he does so is... interesting... i wonder how Mac will react. After all ,terrence's future after his redemption will be rthe same as was presumed in the toehr stories, so it's not THAT much of a change.

sorry about spelling in this post, no time to correct!

Hello off topic!

I think discussion of head to body ratio should be somewhere else instead of in a discussion thread on a writer's fanfic series.

But that's just me.

Ack! Sorry! Sorry!

It's not just you, CG, as much as it is overhwelming true that we have wandered quite a distance from the original topic. Ugh, we gotta see what we can do about that.

Anyway, to answer Kzinistzerg, yup, it's still going on, and lucyrocks73 and I still have about two chapters left to go in it - although exactly when and how we're going to get to those we have yet to figure out. She's an overworked high school student, and I'm a currently overwhelmed college freshman - Basic Chinese I is taking up much, much more time then I originally planned on.

And as much as I'd also like to work on something else at the same time I'm co-authoring wit lucyrocks, not only is the extra time not there currently, but I also tend to get too many inquiries through both reviews and private messages inquiring simply why I haven't updated "Wishing Only Wounds the Heart" in a bit.

They have their right to be curious, I guess, but after a while of the same thing, it tends to get a bit irksome.

That cracked me up, because we both know it's the truth... I'm currently waiting for my ride to play practice, ha.

coughIsaidthatawhileagocoughcough...

Ha ha, just kidding.

So, any disscussion on the latest chapter?
