So good to see you. How have things been?<br /><br />Anyway, I need to ask a question to y'all. I'm trying to feel motivated for a story I want to write, but I feel like I'll regret it for how bad it'll be. Is it stupid to have a character's anxiety manifested through a shadow or is that too clich\u00e9?</div></div><br /><br />I don't see how you think this is a bad idea. A bad idea would be a singular, floating block of butter that only communicates in racial slurs. The anxiety manifested through a shadow is great.

Maybe. With where I left off on #6, there's so many places I could take it. It's gonna depend on what Primus album I happen to be listening to when I start. Or maybe Tool album. I'm having a phase. But, with how Tool made me almost land on the shadow idea last time, I don't wanna take chances. What's the best direction I could go? I almost never take suggestions, but it would be nice to know what people think if they care in the first place.<br /><br /><div style=\"font-style:italic;color:#888;\"> Ugh, I almost forgot what number I was currently on. Is #6 the most recent? Closer? Eh, whatever. </div><br />What I wish, what I really wish, is that I had the time and inspiration to plot out a few separate ideas and scrap those that aren't the best. What do I do now? Do I dive deeper into Marsupial and how Louis came to be as a character? Do I use my ideas for Feliximillion? Does a character get a gay love interest? Am I just a girl pretending to be a boy to infiltrate the LGBT and fetishize gay people? Go to sleep? Pull the pud? We need new pornos! Guess I'm still writin'.<br /><br />Looking back, on the Buggus side of the story, both I and probably some of you (I assume Willy) like the idea of a character finding Buggus in their afterlife-ish void thing. I know that I could make it work. Magic is already somewhat established in this little world I've made, right? Somewhat? Marsupial's drummer is intended to be a wizard (will be a part of a story sometime soon) and the afterlife is kinda zany magic. So it ain't too weird for me to introduce that woooah, this character can speak to the dead or woooah, this character can enter the afterlife thing at a cost. I like this because it settles why Buggus is there and may objectively state that Buggus is dead. Maybe I'll do racist butter, I dunno.<br /><br />Now, I will criticize each of these stories since I need to add them to a doc.<br /><br />#1, Pilot - Honestly, sets the scene alright. I do like the comical theme that sets up an expectation for a comedy story, but jumps into something a little dark. I think I set my characters differently than they are in the rest of the stories, but I guess grief affects them and I guess it's just a pilot. I'm kinda proud, and that's really good.<br />#2, TGTBNA - Too short! The shortest story I've made about all this, I think. I guess it sets up the death forest and the drama is okay. I wish I could still edit it up. Not the best, but alright after you look at the good parts.<br />#3, Buggus Fucking Dies - Kinda bad. Poorly written. Maybe the grief is portrayed alright, but I can't tell because I've never really felt "true" grief. I was cracking jokes when my dog died, and I read comic books when I was at my great uncle's funeral. I really didn't like the introduction to Trexton. Meh. See for y'allselves, I can't tell if I did quite too good or quite too bad.<br />#4: Camaradiarrhea - <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Shut your stupid mouth the fuck up.</span><br />#4 Life's Shit Sometimes - Had some typos. I suck at writing characters on weed. But, it's not bad! I like the aggression between Buggus and Trexton and the comfort between Muddy and Scott. Better than the thing that should not be, aka Camaradiharrhea. <br />#5: Hey, um... where is this one? Oh. Oh god. I think I skipped it. Whhhhhooooooops.<br />#6: Closer - I can't make something good enough to follow this one up. My writing sucks and I just got lucky on this one. It's nice and long. I like the relationship between Trexton and Buggus being stacked on, A complaint, it's rare to suddenly fall in love with a band for no reason, especially when shit's bad. I guess that's exactly what happened to me with Primus, though.<br />#7: ??? - This one's gonna suck.<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Okay, most important part. This series now has a name. I will now be calling my stories The Ack Chronicles. So far, we only have 1 fragment with 6 (5?) chapters within 1 fragment, titled Loss.
