**There is a blinding flash, and Mandi appears in the comment room, bouncing with happiness.**
Yaay! I'm on an ethernet connection again! (Although now I don't have A/C....but it could be worse.)
As of a few minutes ago, here's the current voting results:
King of the Hill: 32%
Gargoyles: 68%!!!
YES! (I like King of the Hill, but it's still producing new eps, and if Disney happens to take a gander at the poll....welllll...you never know. If they do eat crow over this, they'll never let us see it.)
Lady Mystic: Apparently, the jury's still out on the wisdom teeth. My next vacation fron school is the weekend before the fall play, and since my drunk scene is rather brief and late in the play, I'm going to have to be coherent during the performances. So it may have to wait until December, given that nothing gets infected before then. Thank you for caring. :)
I understand what you're saying about the TGS page; the longer descriptions could be placed on each series' page with a more brief, terse caption in the index for each.
On AOL and AOL's Instant Messenger: I was considering downloading Instant Messenger again, but then I'd spend hours IMming when I should be finishing a report. (Wait a minute, I'm spending hours on the CR when I should be writing an addendum....never mind.)
Ooh, yes, survey questions!
How you'd like to die if you had a choice: In my sleep, of old age, and AFTER my parents.
My famous last words: I can't think of any I'd REALLY want to say, but my favorite quote about death is "It's not that I'm afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens." Woody Allen, of all people.
Favorite wild animal: The fox. I read an essay by Loren Eiseley called "The Innocent Fox" that kept me thinking even after I put the book down.
Favorite color: No, it's not yellow, it's violet. I just find yellow easy to read.
Favorite kind of car: A Honda Accord. I've been trying to figure out how to steal Mom's for a while now (just kidding, Mom!)
Halloween costume this year: If I'm lucky, Riff Raff, but I'll probably end up doing Dr. Scott in RHPS again. :)
And yet another note on Fire Storm's fic: I don't think it's all that graphic anymore. I saw "Blade" last night. Some well-choreographed fight scenes, although I saw enough intentionally disgusting gore to last me for a while.
**Mandi glances around the non-text comment room for the first time in a while** Ooh, I like the pic of Griff. Kudos to whoever's responsible.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll go get my work done. Later!
**Another flash of light, and she's gone again. Everybody in the CR is relieved and goes back to business as usual.**

<Hunter Fire Storm and Bubba appear on the monitor.
"Well folks, we had a rough night, some bad dreams, but we are hot on the trail of Jackal as we speak! We did some research, and we found out that he is in Atlanta Georgia. Now, we can't drive there, no keys for the truck. The FAA sure as hell won't let me on with my gun, so we are going to walk the rest of the way there.">>
I hope to have the story of what happened in thier dreams up soon, it just has to go through my proofing staff (Lady Mystic).
About Buick driving the car: Hasn't anyone ever eaten and driven? <G> I find myself driving with my forearm, elbow, and knees. The thing that I would find hardest about driving without thumbs is starting the car, changing gears (Thumb depress on my shifter) and changing the radio station (Although why I would change it from 94.7 WCSX is beyond me.)
BTW... Anyone in here figure out how to eat spaghetti while driving, let ne know, ok?
Oh, Shameless Plug:
I have MANY creativity Damiens about Hyena's cooking, so stay tuned to the food network for details! <G>
End Shameless plug.
SJ: I know the hassle of switching online services. I recently went from AOHell to somthing called 'VisitUs.net'
AOHells rates were WAY too high ($23 a month!) My new plan is faster and cheaper ($13 a month.)
As for E-mail, I recomend getting a third party e-mail system. As you may be able to tell, I am with USA.Net and it works good. Free e-mail, and with Netscapes mail filters, No junk mail! Ain't life grand?

Work, house guests, a party, writing fan-fic and creating fan-art, giving my time to my sister and her school related activities, chores, changing internet services (Well we still have AOL, but not for long. I promise we will still have AOL Instant Messager as soon as Fire Storm figures out how to get it working.), a few dates and *other* activities ... well that's the gist of it. Wow! I guess Fire Storm and I have been busier than I thought!
Theresa: Thanks for talking about your "wretched little beasts." :) I missed hearing about them. Please feel free to mention them more often. I know Fire Storm and I actually love hearing about them. :)
DumlaoX>
Well the TGS test page links are "File Not Found" now, but I was here when the links went up. They look good. I agree with Theresa, maybe Season2 should be listed above Season1.
Oh and I recommend not using the "Gargoyles" font (#2) too frequently. If the font is used to much it could lessen its effect.
One problem with the page: the Raptor Woman link is obsolete. Her location has changed since then. If you don't have her new address I could post it here for you.
I've also noticed the Gargoyles and Pendragon are together. I'm assuming this means that the two series will be one this Season. Given the scenario in TGS, and from what Fire Storm has told me of the G'98 it makes sense.
Furthermore, from what I've seen the main TGS page is getting quite long. Maybe you should do something about that. Maybe have the basic descriptions of each series on the main page for people who are new to the site and links below that to each season. In the links are the places to access each series (instead of on the main page -- to minimize space). And from there the rest is as it is, with each series having it's respective pages and such. Do you understand what I'm trying to explain? I hope so, if not I'll explain in more detail. Personally I think this is a good idea. Does anyone else agree with me?
Mandi Ohlin: I hope everything goes well with the wisdom teeth extractions, whenever you do get them pulled that is. And I hope my S8: Gargs CR post (if you frequent the board) about my experience didn't scare you out of going through with it. It really isn't that bad (as you can tell from my more recent s8:Gargs CR post).
<<Were you glad or mad when Fox dumpped the Pack for Xanatos? ~DojiNick>> To keep it short: Well in truth I was neither glad nor mad. It just seemed like it fit. There was no surprise there for me. And I have no feelings towards this situation besides the concept that it was just something that was meant to happen and it produced neither possitive nor negative reactions from me, nor do I see it happening any other way. I could always see that the Pack was not a permanent fixture in Fox's life. And later episodes proved that the transition from a life with the Pack to a life without them was definitely going to happen, and that Xanatos was to replace that vacancy. Like I said, it's just something that was meant to be.
Simon Templar: When I first read the name I made the connection, but thought otherwise. It seemed a little too obvious to me. However, I did think that was probably the actual intention. Well I'm glad my assumption was right. :)
Recent Survey answers:
How you'd like to die if you had a choice: From the inspiration of Greg I will say: I've answered this before, and in detail. Check the CR archives (if you saved them). ;)
What you'd like your last words to be: Well given the fact that not many people really get a chance to say "last words," I beleive "last thoughts" to be more realistic (they can pertain to just about every death scenario). So my last thoughts would probably be: "Everything is alright now. Everything's okay. I have accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish. I've lived the life I always wanted. I've lived a happy life. Everything has been settled. I can die in peace. I will forever be with my loved ones."
Favorite wild animal: Hmm, I like a lot of different animals. I don't think I have a "favorite" one. I like them all for different and specific reasons. But I will say that I seem to be partial to the human form and Siberian Tigers, at least when sketching. But there are so many I am partial to, or at least like, that I will not get into this at the moment.
Favorite color: I have no real favorite color. Granted there are colors I like more than others, but non that I count as favorites. (Check the archives, I've answered this one in detail before also.)
Favorite kind of car: Almost anything "Ford".
Halloween costume this year (if you've decided): Well I haven't decided on a costume yet, nor do I know if I will be free at that time to go out. But I do have an unfinished costume that Fire Storm mentioned a few weeks ago on the s8:Gargs CR. I won't say what the costume is though. We've had that thing for about 2 years now. With RL matters it's hard to continue some things. Maybe Fire Storm and I will get it done in time for the G'99. I hope.
All the talk of the CR being weirder than the s8 CR has urged me to say: Actually the "weirdness" of the CRs switches periodically between the TGS CR and the s8:Gargs CR. One is never *always* weirder than the other.
Oh and I recieved an e-mail from Merlin Missy on the 2nd. She's alive, but VERY busy.
I'm over joyed to see so many fans of Fire Storm's work. It's a welcoming sight. Keep it up. There will be a lot more in the future. :) (And remember: all his original fanfic and CR post characters are copyright by him. Please ask him before you decide to use his characters for your own purposes whether it be fanfic, fanart, or other. Thanks. :))
Arianna and any other newbies: Welcome! :)
Coyote: Happy Birthday! :)
Alright, this is a very long post. What are ya going to do about it? Kill me? I'm sorry, *Lady Mystic* is Fae and YOU don't know what my weaknesses are nor what can kill me. **maniacal laughter** I could kill you with the speck of a thought. You *do* live in my domain. I can be anywhere I want. And you can't catch me. My Realm (that is what I call my residence) is unaccessable by everyone except those I see fit to let in, *if* I let them in, *when* I want them around. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. <evil grin>
Alright I just had to say that. ;) But seriously, I am sorry for the long post. :(

(Doug walks into the CR dressed in samurai armor and with his katana held down.)
Today I pay homage to one of Japan's greatest storytellers, Akira Kurosawa. He made such famous films as "The Seven Samurai," a true action movie classic that was later remade as an American western called "The Magnificent Seven" that was its former's far inferior, even if it did turn into a TV series. For his greatness in films, Kurosawa was given the lifetime achievement award at the Oscars in 1992. He also died yesterday, and I am one fan who will miss his talents. So please, a moment of silence for Mr. Akira Kurosawa.
(Doug bows solemnly and then gets back up.)
I wonder if Brooklyn and Sata ever bumped into him on their timedancing trips? That would make an interesting story. Perhaps Sata inspired him to make a movie about a female samurai that never got off the ground. Maybe this is just a mad creativity demon. Anyway, that's all I have to say about the passing of a great director.
Coyote: Happy Birthday! For your present, Samurai Yo-Doug-o will personally ensure that Binky the Clown does not pay you a visit. May you enjoy many more!
Static-Pulse: You're welcome.
That's all I have to say now, later people!
(Doug walks back out, humming music from "The Seven Samurai." No, it's not the same tune he was humming yesterday, which someday he might tell you about.)

Quickie ...
As of this point in time right now (3pm EDT Monday), the USA Weekend poll has our guys with a commanding 19% lead over *King of the Hill* in the first round. WOO HOO!!
I wonder ... if *Gargoyles* wins the cartoon showdown, d'you think Disney will be ready to eat crow over cancelling it?
**Buick enters driving a Domino's delivery truck. Aromatic smells are coming from the cab of the truck, drawing Coyote over to the passenger side.**

Thank goodness my lawyer got the case dismissed, TGS Lawyer's in the hospital and I'm a free man! Yippee!
Static-Pulse: In my own fanfiction, I've been able to use Brooklyn, Sata, their family, and the Unseelie as characters as long as I say in my disclaimer that they belong to the TGS Staff. You can probably do the same. Thanks for the excellent characters, Todd, DumlaoX, and the rest of you. I've changed lots of elements in my planned story because of them, and what I've got now works much better than my old plans did. And your own episodes with them make wonderful reading. I can hardly wait till the new season begins October 5th!
Later world!

I'm halfway tossing around an idea for a Gargoyes/Mystic Knights cross-over; and the only way I can do it is with Timedancer... How do I go about getting permission to use Brook and Sata? I don't want to use it w/out permission (even though that IS the basis of fanfic) of the TGS staff. Thanks.

I've been following his problems and believe me, I wish he didn't have them. I'd have more stories to read if he didn't. Kjay has a box and it's empty, but I go to her website and get her stories. I'm waiting Kjay, your new season with Thailog sounds good and your finally was great.

**Mandi sticks her head in again.**
Oops. Quickie back story behind the great dog hunt: My aunt's yappy little dog has been pestering me and the CR on and off all summer. Recently, despite all the warning signs to the effect that she's psycho (previous dog-nappers have begged us to take her back), somebody grabbed her again, and she reappeared on a rampage in Colorado ten times bigger. Sevarius happened to be in the area (I think he split when the cops found out), so I can guess what happened. Two hatchlings from Clan Laramie found her and took a ride, so Madison took off after them, and Sheridan went too because she's "older and wiser." Whatever.
I charged the CR damage to Sevarius because I couldn't afford it, and Sevarius Jr. screamed at me. (I told him to make the morons who grabbed the dog for his dad pay for it out of their paychecks.)
The hatchlings turned up at home, but Sherry, Maddie, and the dog vanished for a while, so I grabbed Colleen to help me search and she actually got Razor to do something useful for once and try Milk-Bones as bait. Now everyone's okay and getting some dinner, although I don't know what I'm going to tell my aunt.
That's it, I have to go get dinner now. Knowing how these guys eat, I'm going to have to hurry if I want any.
**Mandi runs out again.**

**A fuzzy shape suddenly fades in, staticy and ever-so-slowly taking a humanoid form. As it crawls towards becoming whole, solid, and clear, the sound of Mandi cursing wildly at her mother's computer can be heard. Finally, after 5 whole #()$*%)@@ minutes, Mandi fully solidifies and brushes herself off.**
Forgive my language, guys, but this 486 is making me miss my PC at school...shoulda gotten a laptop.
**Mandi opens the curtains of the nearby bay windows to reveal Sherry riding the mutant dog around in circles, holding a tree branch in front of the dog with a bag of Milk-Bones dangling from it. Madison and Razor are yelling and cheering, and Colleen is recording her time.**
So much for suspense. Well, I guess everyone's okay now, in a manner of speaking, although I don't know HOW I'm going to explain this to my aunt. The hairball used to look a lot like the dog from "As Good As It Gets," and now she's actually bigger than a Siberian tiger! (Or so Colleen the walking encyclopedia says.) Thanks for all the concern.
Wilek -- Yes, you may borrow the psycho dog with no name, and Sheridan and Madison, but I need the gargoyles intact for my fics and When Clans Collide. (Word of warning: never call Sheridan 'Sherry' to her face when she's in a bad mood. Trust me on this.)
Doug -- I tried to read "Choices" last night, but after sitting for five minutes waiting for this stupid PC to load the whole file, the phone was in demand. So I suppose I'll have to wait until I go back to school and don't have to compete for computer time.
Lisa -- I'd like to meet your friends too! I'm going to Dallas (well, I'm ALLOWED to go, but I have to pay my way there), so I hope you all can show up this year. And then Doug won't be the only one repeating himself constantly because of my bad hearing. :)

**Coyote enters the room, rolling in the door.**
Sorry ... jumping from a moving vehicle isn't for everybody.
How does Buick drive?: Yes, I'm aware that you need opposable thumbs to grip a steering wheel. I did some research on how he could drive before I wrote him into my fic cycle, believe me.
Here it is: the secret to how Buick can drive without opposable thumbs:
He uses his front paws on the crossbar of the steering wheel. When he needs to do a sharp turn, he places pressure on one side of the crossbar and literally "walks" his paws ladder-style on the turning crossbar.
I'm surprised nobody's brought up the issue of operating the pedals (and before anybody asks, his Skylark (in my fics) was retro-fitted by Lexington to allow Buick to use his hind legs to operate the pedals.). It's a bit awkward for him to operate other vehicles other than the Skylark, but he prefers vehicles with a swivel steering column. That still doesn't explain how he could drive a Packard, but c'mon, give me some leeway!!
As for the reason he's named Buick ... he's from Detroit, the entire clan named themselves after cars (Mustang, Dodge, Pontiac, Cadillac, Buick).
It could be worse, y'know. He could ride motorcycles!
**Coyote exits, opening the door wide enough to reveal the recently calmed Buick in the *passenger* seat for once, allowing Coyote to drive his Skylark. However, it's quite awkward for a human to drive a car retrofitted for a doggoyle; as the door closes, a humorous scene ensues as Coyote tries to cram himself into the driver's seat avoiding all the modifications.**

Just for the record, how can Buick drive a car, anyway, even if he's named after one? I never yet heard of a gargoyle beast who had opposable thumbs, and I think that those would be a must for the steering wheel.

**Coyote limps into the room, still suffering the effects of Buick running him down earlier.**
Heh ... I still hurt ...
Arianna: I apologize profusely for Buick's behavior. That goes to everyone he's bugged, run over, and generally harassed. It seems ... that he's upset, is that right, Mustang? **humanoid garg who just entered the room nods.** It seems that he's a little upset that in my fic cycle he had to leave his *own* car behind in Detroit to go to Manhattan. (It's actually a very nice car, it's an '88 Buick Skylark.)
Oh, and before I forget, welcome to the room.
That's all for me, I just wanted to see what was up in the room tonight. Needed a break from catching up on the huge stack of WCC commissions. (BTW, Ravyn and Laudre: I will be inking pics of your characters either tonight or tomorrow night, just to taunt you guys. ;))
**Coyote limps back toward the door, only to be greeted by a calmer-driving Buick, entering the room at normal speed driving his Skylark.**
Remind me to thank Mustang for bringing the car here.

(The holo appears again, Lisa and Alex are speeding away from the scene of a flustered cop chasing a police car that is being driven crazily. Looks like they've gotten into even more trouble!)
Don't worry about Buick, Coyote. He slipped out of the car as soon as the policeman walked over, much to KITT's delight. Then that doggoyle got behind the wheel of the cop's squad car as he was writing out the ticket, and you can probably guess what happened next. We're getting out of here before that cop gets his car back.
SJ: Glad you like my friends, they are pretty cool IRL. As for the Gathering in Dallas, yeah, we're both planning on coming to it. If we have enough dinero. And we will, probably. Look forward to meeting you when we arrive in Dallas (this does mean you're coming?).

Just a random comment (Ask anyone, I'm known for them.) Loved the senior prank stories. I'm storing those away for ideas next year, when I'm a senior. Of course, the fact that I'm Fey should make things extra interesting.
I noticed a few people posting survey answers (?). Don't know what the survey is, but I will say this: If I could die (Being Fey, I don't intend to for awhile.), I would most like to die for the person I love, or for Arawn (if you're from S8, you know who he is, if you're not, he's the Death Lord, the Lord of Annwn...and a personal friend *laughs*.), and I'd like to die in his arms (not necessarily Arawn's :). My last words: Love does not die. I will always be with you. (Ravyn, you're not the only hopeless romantic.)
Well, gotta run. I don't want y'all to be too annoyed with me on my first visit. See ya'.

(Lisa's holo appears again. She and her computer geek pal Alex are hanging on for dear life, as their loudly whining and complaining car is now being driven by Buick!)
Geez, how did I ever let Coyote talk me into this? Oh well, it's great for laughs. Now to answer Wilek's post.
Wilek: My SO Doug and I have had many oddesseys before in our Blaise-isms. They've involved fighting the Quarrymen, Nazis, and dragons as well as the famous time where Doug was kidnapped by aliens, fought his way off the ship, and crash landed on Mars. I had to break into Area 51 and steal a UFO to get him back here. That was a blast. The one we're in now started when he went to Canada on a road trip, and ended up having a lot of trouble getting back across the border. His fantasy car, Knight Industries Ten Thousand (KITT), froze in a blizzard. I flew up there with a dragon friend of mine to fly him home. As soon as we crossed into American airspace, we got attacked by the military. They killed the dragon, and Doug and I barely escaped alive. We then started driving KITT back to Austin. En route, we encountered a T-100,000 plasma cyborg who was suffering a huge software glitch and thought I was Sarah Connor. He tried to kill us, but we disabled him with an electro-jamming device and a lot of water. Doug then caught a flight back to the CR, so he could deal with the TGS Lawyer, who'd put out a court order banning him from making posts here. Meantime, I called my computer guru friend Alex Cleary, in hopes that he could reprogram the disabled Terminator for our use. I think you know what happened next. We're not currently on the run, but we probably will be once Halcyon Reynard finds out that we accidentally destroyed his research facility.
Here's some info on the Ravens, if you want to use them:
Officially, the Black Ravens are a little group of friends and comrades composed of Doug, myself, and all our pals here in Austin. We officially hang out, party, study, and play many video and rpg games together whenever we feel like it, and when trouble comes, team up to handle it. All our members are human, except for me. I'm a half-human, half-gargoyle mutant created by Sevarius. I was human once, but I only vaguely miss it. The other Ravens besides me and Doug are:
Jim Murdoch- Big tough brown-haired guy, major party animal. He is a first-year law student here at UT and a bartender at a club downtown called Paradox. He owns a blue Buick Skylark station wagon, that with my Kawasaki motorbike serves as our primary transport around town.
Ben "Shap" Shapiro- a big black guy with mustache and beard. Personality quiet generally, but turns into a total wise guy whenever he has a point to make. Shap is also a born-again Christian, but the good kind that doesn't damn anybody for being who they are. He studies government here at UT with the rest of us.
Keith Wang-Matthews- half Chinese, half Caucasian, business student. He is an expert at martial arts, fixing cars, working the stock market, and RPG GamesMastering. Keith's just started his senior year and expects to graduate next spring. His basic personality is that of a paranoid chronically cynical pessimist who has lots of good luck in his life and never acknowledges it. We all rag him about it constantly.
Shauna Lockdale- my best girlfriend and former roommate, an accounting student here at UT. She's a young black gal, looks a little like a young Whitney Houston with Lisa Nicole Carson's hairstyle. That's the way she describes herself anyway. She is the nagging bitch of our little group, who is always ready to point out our problems, but also smart and kind enough to help us solve them when the need arises. She's a great friend.
Lindi Patricia Messina- Doug's old high-school chum and Jim's girlfriend. She studies architectural design here at the University. Her personality is dominated by a streak of friendliness and curiosity that is always her first reaction to meeting new folks. She is also a very emotional and insecure person, but still a nice person in any situation.
Alex Cleary (the guy in the car's backseat waves)- our computer guru pal, who is tall, portly, and resembles a young Frohike (of the Lone Gunmen). He's just graduated from UT last semester, with a master's in computer science. He currently lives in Austin, sharing a house with Jim, Lindi, and Keith. Out of this house, he is planning to soon operate an Internet-based website design business and several BBS services.
Stephanie Telman- My sister, our newest member. She's just transferred to UT from the University of Houston, and now she studies business here. She's just as smart as I am, and her personality is almost the exact opposite of Keith's. And they've just started going out together, God knows how long it'll last! Where he is a paranoid cynic, Steph is a chronically optimistic and self-absorbed smart-aleck. She looks a lot like me, only with her hair dyed blonde and more defined facial features. I think Doug posted a link to a scanned picture of me, her, Jim, and Shap somewhere in last week's archive, but the URL escapes me. (Someone forgot to bookmark it!) That page also has a picture of me in my fantasy half-garg persona. One more thing about Steph- she is a huge Highlander fan and even owns a katana that's a near-exact replica of Duncan MacLeod's. She practices with it often, and if we aren't able to talk her out of it, wants to use it if we ever get into a big gang war with some bad guys. I really hope I can discourage her from it, if she tries that she's liable to get shot. Oh well, I'm sure I can. She's a very reasonable person.
Boris Richardson (Americanized from Rishkavoy)- The Bore, as we call him, is Jim's bouncer pal at the club, and is a very big, very boring Russian-American guy. Imagine Owen Burnett with big muscles and a bad attitude, and you'd have this guy down completely. He also wears contacts instead of glasses. His bad attitude is that he lets his work dominate his whole life, and never lets himself have any fun. He used to run around with us a lot, but stopped once he said we'd gotten too crazy for him to hang out with. Don't know where he got that idea. He may join us again if we need his help, but currently he's living a life apart from him. Some of us miss the guy.
Then there's Doug and me, and I'm sure you know all about us. If not just say so, and we'll post our Internet character profiles in our next message. Later!
(Buick rumbles on, Lisa and Alex hoping they run out of gas before they crash as KITT keeps complaining. The last thing anyone hears of them as the holo fades away is the sound of a police siren following them. Uh oh!)

**Coyote enters once again, scratching his head wondering how Buick got his mitts on that TIE Defender.**
Didn't know he could fly, too ... and I created him!!
Wilek: I started bringing Buick with me last week to the CR, after I'd received comments about his unexpected appearance in the fanfic that my name link below leads to. I tried to keep him under control, but he somehow keeps magically coming up with these bizarre different vehicles (he's driven my car (blue '79 Cadillac), my mother's car (brown '93 Escort), my work vehicle (white '94 Ranger), two cars belonging to my cousins (black '94 Ranger, red '96 Suzuki), an "oversize load" tractor, your black Cadillac, and just today a '44 Packard and that TIE Defender you must've loaned him ... and you thought he wasn't dangerous enough in cars or something?! (j/k)) to drive into the room with. I haven't got a clue what he'll be driving next. He also seems to keep running over the CR lawyer. If you haven't figured it out yet, Buick's driving skill is about on the same level with Toonces the driving cat from SNL.
So now you know.
**hears engine**
Uh oh, here' he comes AGAIN!!!
**Coyote sprints out of the room, shortly before Buick zooms in the room behind the wheel of an F-150 ... with Coyote splayed across the hood.**

[Wilek comes in from the other CR wearing his sun pendant and munching happily on a steak sandwich. He sees his car.] How did that get there?
Miriam> I'm not sure I can use much of that in fanfics (except maybe the Black Ravens)--although I can use them in lots of Blaisisms. When he gets back, Blaise will be so blown away to find he's such a celebrity. And a fanfic character, if I ever get the bloody thing submitted.
Firestorm> I read your story. Cannibalism in fiction can be absolutely HILARIOUS when handled properly. Alas, poor Billy; I knew him, Jackal. A man of infinite jest...[Wilek laughs insanely.] Love it! Delightfully demented! Spectacularly sick! Keep 'em coming. BTW, I think they'll be just fine for the GFW Fanfic archive as long as you give the proper content warnings; be as sick as you want to be. Hee hee hee.
Lisa> Why exactly are you on the run with KITT and a now-deceased T-100,000? Provide me with all the details of it, and I *might* be able to squeeze a fanfic out of it after all. The same with Buick or Sherry and Maddie or Firestorm's hunting party. It may have to be a comedy fanfic, but I'm not above that.
[The crazed mutant dog crashes through carrying a giggling Sherry and Maddie, followed by Mandi and Colleen carrying butterfly nets. Then Buick crashes a TIE Defender through the skylight and pulls up just in time to avoid becoming a smear on the floor. Then the evil lawyer comes by on crutches spreading litter for a grumbling and sneering Doug to clean up.] Was that a dog-goyle in the cockpit? I've *got* to come here more often; this place is even nuttier than the other CR (yes it's possible). [He sticks around to wait and see what else will happen.]

Now you've done it, Static! If you thought he was uncontrollable before, he's *really* gonna be p****d now!
Miriam: Wilek has my permission to use Buick the Doggoyle who could drive a car in his fanfic (he needs walkies anyway.). Just a short reprieve though, I still need him for my fics. The URL below has some background info on Clan Detroit (Buick's clan) if he wants it. Just contact me through e-mail and I'll give you some more details.
**The doors to the CR swing widely open, and Coyote is nearly killed by the mad Buick, now driving a '44 Packard like Richard Petty. Coyote barely rolls clear in time as the huge car zips through the room, once again running over the poor, beleaguered CR lawyer.**

(The holo appears again. Lisa and Alex are driving away from the huge smoking ruin that was once a major Cyberbiotics research facility. They are both hoping Halcyon Reynard doesn't send them a huge bill.)
Well, the Terminator had a self-destruct. We never got to reprogram it, and what you see behind us is what happened. Alex barely got out of there alive with an experimental teleport beam like what they have on the Enterprise. Now we're headed back to Austin, hoping nothing else bad happens so far. God, I am missing so much class (and loving every minute of it!).
Miriam: If Wilek wants to use any of the episodes of my Blaise-isms or Doug's, he's welcome. Also, since I think we were the ones who started the whole TGS lawyer thing, we give you permission to use the currently hospitalized and in extremely critical condition (Doug beat him up last post) TGS lawyer, too. Enjoy! If he wants to put in the rest of our little party of friends and comrades, the Black Ravens, all he should do is ask and I'll tell him their basic personalities. Happy writing, whatever he decides.
That's all for now, see y'all again at sunset!

Sorry to clutter up the room, but I just read down about the Gargoyles fighting game. Has any one considered what a Gargoyles cross-over game would be like, like the X-Men/Street Fighter game? What would be different universe to cross-over with? I think it's be fun to see Ironman go against Xanatos' armor. Or have evil clone Thailog fight Spidey clone Ben Reilly (or Kane). How about the Paxck vs. the Ravers? Maybe the Matrix against the Phalanx?
Anyway, sorry to post twice... :-)

Mr. Nereus will be most displeased--although the various unconventional goings-on would be interesting for his proposed fan fiction series. When he awakens at sunset, I will inform him to come here. He shall probably ask permission to use Buick, the mutant dog, and Lisa's odyssey in his stories. The Jackal crisis is resolved, at least for now. This Comment Room seems rather more--active--than the other. [Miriam ineffectually chases off after her stolen car.]

(Doug stops his cleaning to respond to more posts.)
Coyote: I like my idea better, more challenge and variety and all. Coldstone would make a great hidden character, though. That lab scene would be good, too, with a certain red-headed geneticist laughing in the background. Proteus also works well as a Shang Tsung-type character, and the New Olympus prison (with Taurus, Sphinx, Helios, etc. cheering alongside of course) would work well for him. I don't think Goliath should yell Jalapena at the end of a fight, but it could be a good rub-it-in quote.
Some new background ideas:
1. Include Graeme cheering, Arianna mimicking her parents' moves with her bo stick, and Nudnik barking and wagging his tongue in the background of Brooklyn and Sata fights.
2. Have Tony Dracon and his goons about to be escorted into the station in Elisa's background, they're also cheering her on.
3. Goliath's background should be the Castle Wyvern battlements on a dark and stormy night with lightning flashing across the screen every so often. Almost all the best graphic fighting games have a background like that.
Christine: The book's still not ready? Get with the program, Mr. Publisher!! Looking forward to the next issue of Avalon Mists!
Later all!
(Doug turns back to his work, only to see that the TGS lawyer and all his pals have deliberately scattered even more litter over the comment room. "Alright!" he screams, swinging his broom like a bo stick and advancing on the jerks. "That is it!" He proceeds to beat them all to a bloody pulp. The CR security guards see it happening, rush him, and soon Doug is beat up, handcuffed, and taken away, this time in even more trouble.)

**Coyote enters the room, having just received a ride from Buick, who is now driving Coyote's cousin's red Suzuki.**
Have a good time, Buick! **He arfs once, drives off.** Good, now he'll fit in with every other madman on the road this weekend!!
Gargoyles fighting game: Excellent idea! Here's how I would do it:
Too many characters tend to clutter fighting games, so I'd keep it down to eight choosable fighters and three hiddens.
Choosables: Goliath, Elisa, Brooklyn, Broadway, Xanatos, MacBeth, Jon Canmore, Demona
Hiddens: Hudson (Broadway), Jason Canmore (Jon Canmore), Angela (Demona)
Bosses: I'd go with the original Street Fighter II boss setup (four of progressing skill), as follows:
Coldstone, Enhanced Archmage, Proteus, Oberon
Backgrounds:Goliath - Castle courtyard, Elisa - clock tower, Brooklyn - Times Square, Broadway - Aerie Building kitchen, Hudson - TV room, Xanatos - Aerie Building arboretum, MacBeth - Castle Moray, Jon Canmore/Jason Canmore - Interior of Hunters' ship, Demona - St. Damien's Cathedral, Angela - Avalon's shores, Coldstone - Xanatos lab, Archmage - His Avalon hideout, Proteus - New Olympus prison, Oberon - Castle Avalon throne room.
Other characters -- some recent fighting games have had characters use special moves to get an assist from a *really* deeply hidden character (example -- *X-Men*'s Sabretooth had a special move where he calls his chaffeur Birdie to shoot up his opponent). Maybe something like this could be worked out, say a special for Xanatos involving Fox, a special for Goliath involving Bronx, a special for Elisa involving Talon, a special for the Canmores involving Robyn Canmore, etc.
Story: something like this, maybe? -- Oberon feels himself threatened by the encroachment of the modern world upon Avalon, so he takes it upon himself to eliminate any potential foes. Putting three other powerful entities under his thrall (Coldstone, Archmage, and Proteus), he sets up a fighting tournament. The ultimate goal being to have his enemies eliminate themselves.
"Rub it in quotes": Hmmm ... have to think about that one.
What do you think, sirs?
**Coyote suddenly hears a four-cylinder car engine approaching the CR doors at high speed. He rolls out of the way just as Buick comes barrelling through the side wall, now somehow driving an "oversize load" semi tractor.**
Where the hell's he coming up with these bizarre vehicles?! **looks to the CR lawyer, who has an evil grin on his face and a legal pad in his hand.** Uh oh ...

Hi!
Lisa & Doug> Of course we all love you that much! By the way, Doug, wonderful ideas for the fighting game!
Miriam> It's a sick story, but only because of violence. Tell Wilek he can read it, but it does involve Hyena eating someone. *shudder*
Sevarius Jr.> I know what you mean. Telemarketers...*shudders again*
On with the survey:
How I'd like to die if I had a choice: Either painlessly in my sleep, in defense of someone I care for, or fighting for what I believe in.
What I'd like my last words to be: I love you. (Sorry...I'm a hopeless romantic.) :)
Favorite wild animal: Hmm...a tiger or a black panther.
Favorite color: Violet. (if you couldn't tell! ;) )
Favorite kind of car: I like Corvettes, Firebirds, and some of the older Camaros.
Halloween Costume this year: I haven't _really_ decided yet, but I have some ideas. I'm either gonna be Elisa, William Wallace from Braveheart, or Razor Ramon (a.k.a. Scott Hall of the nWo.)
Okay, now that I've convinced ya'll that I'm crazy, I'll go now...

Ah, I'm back. Went through a server change, and that's always painful..."So why are you canceling our services?" "Well, I just found somebody cheaper." "Would you like to reconsider? If you stay on we can offer you another month free..." "Ahh..." "...and an optional additional 100 hours after that..." "NO. GO AWAY. JUNIOR's HEAD HURT. YOU GO NOW." I hate dealing with telemarketers.
Doug: Damn good idea for a fighting game. Now, if only the boys at Capcom or Electronic Arts would get to work, my Platstation is collecting dust. But if I may, let me add a couple more quotes: Goliath, after beating his opponent, should scream at the top of his lungs "Jalapeno!", and of course, cause someone has to say it, Puck would shout "Flawless victory!"
Maybe you could have fatalities too...hmmm, maybe Hyena realy could eat somebody...

(The TGS lawyer dances around the room, laughing maniacallya and tossing litter everywhere. Doug, still dressed in his janitor get-up, grumpily follows him, uttering curses and insults under his breath as he cleans it all up.)
What that guy is doing has got to be against CR policy! Sure he let go of that court order to get me back in so he could do this to me, and I appreciate it, but it's still got to be wrong! Oh well, here's what I have to say:
Way I'd most like to die if I had a choice: As a hero, from the pain of my wounds after I do a lot of fighting for a very good cause. I would be given a hero's funeral, and also a Cajun one. (All sad during, and all happy and joyful afterwards, oh yeah.)
What I'd like my last words to be: Bye! See you all very soon!! Muhahaha!! (This would probably make a lot of people want me to die faster.)
Favorite wild animal: elephant.
Favorite color: bright red.
Favorite car: KITT, or Buick Roadmaster.
Halloween Costume: Either Man-at-arms (Masters of the Universe) or Jackal (Gargoyles). Hoping for the former, as it's easier to put together. Depends on what Lisa wants to wear, as we've sworn to wear complimentary costumes this year, unlike what we did the last.
Gargoyles Fighting Game: Okay, here's what I'd do to make one of those. (please excuse long post)
Main Fighters:
Goliath, Brooklyn, Broadway, Lexington, Hudson, Angela, Elisa, Demona, Xanatos (in red gargoyle battlesuit), Talon, Macbeth, Sata, Castaway (with hammer and Hunter battlesuit), Jackal, Hyena (cyborg forms), Bronx, Wolf, Puck.
Hidden Characters (that look like main ones, but different physical coloring)- Fox (Elisa), Thailog (Goliath), Fang (Talon).
Secret Characters (unique design)- Titania, Oberon.
Bosses: First Coyote (mega-power boss), then Madoc (mega-special attack boss who's like Oberon, but different coloring).
Backgrounds:
1. Castle Wyvern Battlements (Goliath).
2. Streets of New York with people looking scared or cheering, including Brendan and Margo, of course. (Brooklyn)
3. Cyberbiotics airship with whirring cybots and cheering Vogel and Reynard (Lex).
4. New York Rooftop with scared pigeons flying around. (Broadway).
5. Central Park with cheering people around, including The Jogger (Angela).
6. Castle Library and TV Room (Hudson).
7. Clock Tower Balcony (Bronx).
8. Macbeth's Mansion with cheering Banquo and Fleance (Macbeth).
9. Outside the 23rd Precinct with lots of cheering cops beside their cars, including Matt, Morgan, and a bemused looking Captain Chavez (Elisa).
10. Eyrie Building Heli-Pad with Owen and floating Alexander looking on (Xanatos).
11. Quarryman rally with lots of cheering Quarrymen, including Sara Jasper and the Harrisson brothers (Castaway).
12. The Cloisters Chapel (Demona).
13. Pack Media Studios Trap Room (Jackal).
14. Pack Media Studios Workout Room (Wolf).
15. Outside Pack Media Studios (Hyena).
16. Beach of Avalon with Weird Sisters and other fay watching (Puck).
17. Ichimura Street with cheering Japanese gargs and humans (Sata).
18. The Labyrinth Central Chamber with Maggie, Claw, clones, and lots of homeless cheering (Talon).
19. Subway Station with cringing people, including Vinnie, watching (Coyote).
20. Brockin Castle Throne Room with Unseelie looking on and cheering, including Maeve, Garlon, Loki, and the Morrigan (Madoc).
Victory quotes for characters I'm not sure about. We'd have to have famous ones like "Not a good night to be a bad guy" for Angela, "A gargoyle can no more stop protecting the castle than breathing the air" for Hudson, "Face me human, if you dare" for Demona, "So perishes the demon" for Castaway, and "All according to plan" for Xanatos. Other than that, I'm not sure. Anyone else have any ideas?
That's all for now.

Mandi- We're gone a day and you miss us? I didn't know we were that loved in here! (or posted that frequently) The main reasons we haven't is that we've both been very busy with school and all, and also there hasn't been much to say recently. Let's change that. How about some new survey questions?
How you'd like to die if you had a choice: In my sleep. That way when it happens, I won't be doing anything important.
What you'd like your last words to be: "The horror, the horror." I've always wanted to go out in a Joseph Conrad moment.
Favorite wild animal: Tiger.
Favorite color: pine green.
Favorite kind of car: KITT, or if it had to be a real one, Ford Taurus.
Halloween costume this year (if you've decided): Either the Sorceress (Masters of the Universe) or Hyena (Gargoyles). Haven't decided yet.
That's all I can think of now, anyone else have any ideas?
Doug's not really under house arrest, that's just for a pretend Blaise-ism saga he and I have going. Even if there was a real court order, I'm sure he'd still post in here (and as you have seen, he is!). To answer your question about the reprogramming, Alex is having some difficulty with it. The T-100000's OS is complicated and advanced way out of his league. Thus, we've stopped at a factory owned by the best robot-makers on the planet to see if they can help. Wish us luck. (crosses her fingers)
Later all!
(Lisa goes back to her chess game with KITT's CPU as the holo fades away. So far, it looks like she's losing.)

**The door opens, and in the background we can hear what sounds like "Hail to the Chief" being played on...kazoos? Mandi steps through, casting a baleful glance at whoever's playing.**
Will you knock it off already? This is what I get for bragging... *sigh*
**closing the door to muffled sounds of laughter**
Sherry and Madison are still missing, although I think there was a sighting in Boulder. So the pic's still linked below if anyone's seen them. The dog's long-gone; I think they really are playing Thelma and Louise.
Hey, there's a goofy semi-crossover thought: What if you did a fic that involved Angela and Demona, for some bizarre reason, going on a Thelma and Louise-esque spree? Of course, that would be completely out of character for the both of them, I can't think of a plausible excuse, but the idea is hysterical. You could rewrite the ending scene, when the car drives off a cliff--instead of falling to their doom, the two jump out and fly off, laughing their heads off at the cops gawking from a distance. Whatever, just a weird idea that popped into my head. :)
Miriam -- Uh, sick? Did I ever say it was sick? Graphic, yes, but not sick....**eyes the particle rifle nervously and scoots out of its range**
Green Baron -- Yeah, I have Ethernet in my room, for the moment. My roommate and I have an unbelievable amount of stuff crammed in here: both computer systems, a TV, a VCR, her stereo, and several fans going full blast. We had an overload this morning along with a few other people due to all our stuff. My hall's relatively quiet: no smoking of anything, quiet hours are usually obeyed, and most drinking is done in one person's room with the door closed. But it's still nice to be able to live at home, isn't it?
Coyote -- Looks like we both have canine problems (kind of) Ouch. I'm glad no one ever taught the hairball to drive.
You know, a day's gone by and Lisa and Doug haven't posted. I know Doug's under house arrest, but Lisa, how's the reprogramming going?
Click on my name to see the two runaways--maybe you've stumbled over them in the Great Jackal Hunt? We need to get Sherry back to keep the morons outside in line. :)
Anyway, I'm heading home for the weekend, so with my mom's slow comp, the posts may be farther and fewer. So have a great Labor Day, all!

[Miriam strides out of the corridor connecting to the other CR.] I come because of indications of a quote-unquote "sick" story written by a room-dweller known as Firestorm. In what manner may it be described as "sick"? Only due to violence, or is there other adult material present as well? If there is only violence, then Mr. Nereus would be most inrigued. [Without another word, Miriam strides back to the main CR. The TGS CR dwellers wonder why she was carrying a particle beam rifle.]

Hi again! Thanks for all your senior prank stories! I love hearing 'em all! In fact, one of my teachers told me about a time a few years ago where somehow the seniors got a Volkswagon on the roof of the school! And by the way, they caught the guys that pulled the prank with the buses here. They're all getting referred for expulsion, and the surprising thing is one's the Senior Class President, one's the President of the Honor Society, another is Vice-Prez of the Honor Society, and the others were starters for the basketball team. Huh...
Coyote> Thanks for the great help on Demona's business card! Do you mind if I use your idea? Muchas gracias!!!

I very rarely speak, but since I am currently a hight school senior I thought I would get involved in the prank thing. So far the best we can think of is to fill the pool with Jell-o, but since we can't figure out how we could cook it, we will probably have to think of something else. The best prank so far at my school (that I know of) was to put a live sheep on top of one of the buildings. Really!
The new site is good, but I'll wait until its finished before critizing it.

The new Site layout looks pretty good, but the images wouldn't load for me either. Is it a technical problem with certain computers or that images aren't in place yet?

**Mandi comes in perfectly normally through the door. No mutant dogs or vehicles are about to come crashing through. Sheridan and Madison are nowhere to be seen, although a small brown gargess is hovering by the door.**
Happy Thursday everyone. Sherry and Maddie are still missing along with the insane canine. More on this later.
Green Baron: HI! I was wondering where you'd been all this time! I suppose taking 18 hours would be a deterrent from the comment room (I have 16 hours this semester, but am lucky enough to have Net access in my room).
Senior pranks? Errr....not much in my high school. But every year, the senior class at Hood College is almost expected to pull off their senior prank sometime in April. Usually, they kick it off by pulling the fire alarms in the halls to get the underclassmen out, then bombard us with shaving cream. (Returning students do roughly the same thing to new students for Pergola Party during orientation, which is more fun if you see it coming.) Then they pull off whatever prank they can think of: one class attacked the English department, removed all the furniture, filled the hall with sand, and stuck a bunch of beach equipment out there. Someone told me one year that they raided the science hall, and that I really DON'T want to know the weirdness that ensued. Missy, if you manage to emerge from the insanity of grad school, you were there--you fill me in?
Last year, know what their prank was? They spent the night moving around on their floor in our hall, making us think it was going to happen that night, and then didn't do anything. The next morning, every resident senior was absent from campus and classes for Senior Prank. We thought that was it, but a week later, they woke us up at midnight anyway. Weird. Knowing the senior class this year, I'm almost afraid of what they're going to do for Senior Prank.
The TGS Lawyer is dead? Aaaahhh! He's haunting the comment room now! This has to stop! :)
Back to the disappearance. **turns around and beckons to the figure by the door** Colleen, will you get over here? Thank you. As some people here know, Madison and Sheridan were last seen in the CR chasing the mutated version of my aunt's dog out of a hole in the wall. They were last seen several miles north of Laramie, WY, still in pursuit, and have not been seen since. We are hoping for any info as to their whereabouts. Colleen?
**Colleen holds up a toll-free number in front of her face.** What are you doing? That's the Psychic Friends Network! **Colleen starts laughing hysterically.** You're weird, you know that?
Anyway, click on my name to see a color sketch of these two (Sherry on the left, Maddie on the right). We're just trying to figure out where they are. Sheridan's so trigger-happy that it's probably not a good idea to try to drag them back home. For the safety of anyone who gets in their way, please keep an eye out!
Oops! Class in 10 minutes. Gotta go!

NEWGOYLE-- Hiyas. DumlaoX here, curator of the TGS website and comment room.
To answer both your questions:
Simon Templar is the the name of The Saint, as in the spy from the popular 60's TV series and main character of the movie "The Saint" starring Val Kilmer. Think of him like a mix between James Bond and John Steed (from "The Avengers") only with a talent for disguise (like Daryl Zero from "Zero Effect").
A Blaise-ism stems from Station 8. IN the S8 comment room, a poster named Blaise would always come in here using some unique and odd descriptions. For example, there was one time he came in as a puddle of slime that reformed itself into Blaise once he stepped into the comment room. He was very popular for such entrances. Ever since then, any type of entrance like that is automatically refered to as a Blaise-ism.
Hope that answers everything.
Oh, an early warning to everyone in here. Because of a Labor Day weekend trip I'm making to Milpitas (a small town near San Francisco), I won't be able to wipe this place till Tuesday around the usual 12:00 AM. Just letting you all know so you don't wonder.

(Doug walks in dressed in a janitor uniform and pushing a cart full of cleaning stuff.)
Why is everyone looking at me so weird? Oh, guess I better explain the get-up. As punishment for the attempted break-in last post, I now have to preform several hundred hours of community service. Most of it will be done in here. Now here's what I have to say.
Green Baron- Yes, we know Coyote killed him. However, Lisa and I have chosen not to acknowledge it, as we have a Blaise-ism saga planned with him as a major antagonist. So Coyote and anyone else who wants to can do whatever they like with the guy and as far as our saga goes, he'll still be alive and well until we eventually make him otherwise. Unless what happens to him fits into the saga, and then we'll incorporate it with the poster's permission. Hope that's now clarified for everyone who decides to read our upcoming Blaise-isms as the story goes on.
That's all I have to say right now. Till next time!
(Doug gets out his push broom and begins sweeping, as he currently has nothing more to post.)

Hello everyone. I know it's been a while, so how are all of you. I am now a Junior at Loyola University and I am taking 18 hours.
Prank wars> I never did anything, myself. Brother Jeffrey would never allow us any Senior Priveleges and he didn't want classes to root for their grade at Pep Rallies. The class before mine did soem doozies and he really hated them. They put a stink bomb in the bathroom a few days before class ended and after prom. They also had a cut day when Bro. Jeff was gone. After this, he planned to do a few things to be at better terms with my class, like hold a workshop and all. I never really did many jokes, though I could get away with it, since I pulled some prank involving a picture of Theta Berra in some girl's locker, and teh disciplanarian just gave me a warning and told me that it was very funny a few months after the incident. I guess it helps to be on good terms with the disciplanarian, and to be Detention-free.

Boy ... nearly forgot how long that movie is ... and I forgot that's the only movie that makes Rosanna cry.
Senior Pranks: I'm no help. My high school was kind of quiet as far as the prank gigs go, they were still suffering repercussions from an incident when the seniors were punished for a food fight that the *sophomores* started! (The punishment: for about three years, the seniors had to ... gasp! ... take their finals!)
Business card ideas: OOOOH, ART CLASS!! I just LOVED my high school art class!! Okay, you need ideas for business cards for Demona and/or Thailog. Let me see here ...
Demona:
Dominique Destine
Co-founder/CEO, Nightstone Unlimited
Daytime phone: 818-433-6662
24-hour switchboard: 800-427-4695
"The night is our realm ... let us make it yours."
Just a suggestion. (BTW, look at your phone to see the jokes on the phone numbers.)

Does anyone out there need any business cards printed up? I have to do some for a Graphic Communications class, and I was wondering if anyone needed any. If no one does, I was planning on making either Demona or Thailog their own business cards, and I'm open for suggestions on those. If you're interested, I've gotta warn you: This is only a high school project and I've never printed business cards before in my life, so be warned that they may not be professional stuff.

<The TGS Comment Room monitor turns on to a video of Hunter Fire Storm still hunting for Jackal. The REAL Fire Storm steps out of the shadows and pauses the video with his remote control.>
Just to clarify, Hunter Fire Storm is a little part of me, but NOT entirely Fire Storm. It's kinda like Icestorm Brooklyn. He looked a little like Brooklyn, but thats it.
Hunter Fire Storm (HFS): A tall, semi-muscular brute, with a slight beer belly, tree bark camo clothes, dusty tan padded vest and a hat on. Scruffy beard, and dark hair.
Fire Storm (FS): Wears all black. Black boots, black pants, black tee-shirt, black sun glasses, and a semi-magical black leather ankle length jacket. Clean shaven, sligtly angular face, pointed ears, blonde-to-white hair.
HFS: Not too smart. Favorite Weapon: 125mm diamater, 50 foot long cannon. (Nuttin else will do!)
FS: Bright, and learning all the time. Favorite Weapon: His HEAVILY modified Glove of Ra, and any bladed weapon.
HFS's Catchphrase: HEY BUBBA!
FS's CatchPhrase: None.
Fire Storm continues with his discussion: "so, as you can see, we are quite different. I now return you to your regulary scheduled comment room, already in progress..."
Lisa: I made Billy to kill him. And besides, Hunter Fire Storm isn't TOO good at tracking. After all, he IS looking for our Jackal in the middle of the forest!
And besides... I can't kill Hyena. Too much good Hyena-based fan-fic in my skull for that.
Doug: Thanks again! As for your prank, My co-workers already think I am a loon for going to New York for the Gathering.
Fox leaving the Pack: I personally think it was a good move. Fox may have led the life of the pack for many years, but she was too smart to stay that way for life. The rest of them are more or less full-lifeers, with the exception of Dingo. Personally, I think he didn't stay with the pack for the same reason's Fox left. He was too smart and getting too old for that. And besides, if she didn't, what would have happened when the episode "Upgrade" came up?
Prank that happend MY senior year: On a cold rainy Thursday afternoon (The one the day before senior's last day), about 5 minutes into lunch, the fire alarm went off. So EVERY one went out into the rain. EVERYONE got wet. MOST people stayed out in the rain. Quite a few left. After a hour and a half, they canceled school. After a F#%^ing our and a HALF, they said GO HOME! I mean, we had stood in the RAIN for a DAMN long time, WAITING to get our $h#^, WAITING to go back in not daring to leave for fear of going on audit.
and YES, I am still VERY PISSED about that.
Why do you ask?
I soon hope to have a link and web page up for my story 'Alone.' I would prefer to have it on Fanfic.Gargoyles-fans.org, but I am afraid that my stuff may not be appropriate for the board. True, Christine Morgan puts her stuff up, but her stuff is more sexual and physical, while mine is usually more phycological (But not perfect, by FAR. I am no Poe, nor do I really want to be.)I have the story on the web, but for some reason the page won't open. Oh well. Until I get a page working, my link goes to the story 'Alone.'
Well, I had better get to sleep. I got to go ISP shopping tomorrow. :( Not exactly a enviable job, is it?

I have an idea for a good Gargoyles fans senior prank. Find all your friends who are Gargoyles fans, all of you dress up as your favorite garg character, and then parade around the halls chanting the Gargoyles theme music, roaring, laughing, and maybe even reenacting scenes from the show. If that doesn't at least draw stares, it'd be surprising. It might also convince a lot of people everyone involved was completely out of their minds, but it would still be a good prank. Thanks for starting this thread, Ravyn. Here it's really got Lisa and me thinking up ideas. Maybe tomorrow we'll have more. G'Night, everybody!

Oh, in case anyone's wondering, that prank never really happened IRL. I practically made up the whole thing. It could have happened, though. Jerry and Tom were planning on doing it. Then Jerry's dad refused to go through with things when he was asked to join in (even though he's as big a jokester as his son), and then someone squealed to the PTA, and we had to scrap the whole idea. Oh well, maybe someone will do it in the future. If they can get away with it. That is probably impossible, I know. It's still a good idea. Sorry to disappoint people, but about that made-up adventure of my life, I had to come clean. The others are true, but not that one. Oh well.

(The holo of Lisa appears again. She, Alex, and the Terminator are still involved in pretty much the same activities they were last time.)
Not much has happened to me recently, but I see stuff going on in here. Better voice my feelings.
Fox and the Pack- Theresa's already voiced my feelings, I don't think I need to share them. Except for one observation I have about "Eye of the Beholder," which in my opinion is really the main Fox and Xanatos romance episode and the beginning of his reformation. In it, he has plots going, yeah, but you can also see him slowly realizing he loves Fox and is really trying to save her from the Eye of Odin no matter how sinister it otherwise appears. He's operating in true Xanatos fashion and for personal gain, but in this case the gain is love, not power. You can see Xanatos is concerned for Fox in that episode, he's not just enacting plots for personal gain, he's doing them to save her as well. So he really does love her, he's just operating in his usual methods and for once doing some good instead of evil. At the end, as Owen puts it, he really looks heroic. But of course it's only a momentary lapse. That's the way Xanatos was before he got Alexander and changed his motives, though of course not his methods.
Senior Pranks- Ah, fun memories. Stephanie, me, and our current group of friends pulled off quite a dandy back then. We went to a high school that had had a few gang and drug problems in the past, but a couple security guards and undercover cops cleaned all of them up before we started our sophomore year. By senior year, there had been a long time gone by with hardly any gang or drug problems, and the principal was kinda resting on his laurels. He laid off the security force, and school returned to normal. That prompted Jerry Bennet, my current boyfriend and a major prankster who was best known for replacing the classical music cassette for morning music with a modern rock one on several occasions, to think up a senior prank that was priceless. He got about a quarter of the senior class involved, and through his police lieutenant father tipped off the police to it so they wouldn't give us any trouble and would loan us some needed gear. The thing we did was as follows. First, Jerry, his best friend Tom, and a few others arrived at school a few hours early, were let in by a janitor we had briefed on the whole idea, and walked around the school firing off cap guns, playing loud rap music, and generally making a huge racket and messing up the place with TP, confetti, and gang slogans written in sidewalk chalk. Meantime, the rest of us involved seniors set up crime scene tape we'd borrowed from Jerry's dad all around the school grounds, then dressed in rented police officer costumes and began wandering around the school as though we were looking for clues, waiting for the principal to hear about what was going on (Stephanie and some others phoned him with anonymous tips, pretending to be concerned people who'd driven by and seen the 'cops' or heard the noise) and show up. When he did, and saw what it looked like was going on (keep in mind school wouldn't officially begin for over an hour at the time), he totally freaked out. The look on his face was priceless. Of course, then he started recognizing who was in the police uniforms and we all had a good laugh about it. The principal then gave us all a month's detention, a week's suspension for Jerry and Tom, and banned the rest of us from attending the prom until some of us pressured our parents to pressure him to reverse that part of the ruling and it mostly worked. He also fired the janitor and put us all on disciplinary probation the rest of the year. And of course we had to all clean up the huge mess we'd made. Sigh, reality hit us so hard! It was a great prank, though. I doubt anybody could ever top it.
Firestorm- I know Billy's dead, I was just wondering why you had to kill him. Couldn't you have at least tried to save the poor guy, blown up Hyena with that cannon, been a hero, etc? Or is that just not you? It's okay if it isn't, this is only a suggestion. Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I'll be needing any help with the Terminator. My computer guru pal here has already figured out its basic program and now just needs to reprogram it so it's a good Terminator and not a bad one. That might take him a while.
(Alex shakes his head and says he's done now. Lisa looks surprised and waves to him to demonstrate. He flicks on the Terminator and it begins to wave its arms wildly about and start spouting off random Arnold-isms like "I'll be back," "Hasta la vista, baby," "You've just been erased," etc. Then it starts going "Egon Pax must die, Egon Pax must die," over and over again. Alex curses and shuts it off, then says, "Okay, it still has a few bugs that need fixing." Lisa nods and waves to him to get right on it as he plugs his laptop back into the Terminator's head. Then she drives on, hoping Doug hasn't gotten himself into any major trouble or done anything stupid while they've been apart. The holo fades away.)

(A CR secuity guard with a big assault rifle comes walking down the stairs. Behind him come Doug, Keith, Shap, and Jim, with their hands in the air and followed by another security guard pointing a gun at them and two more carrying their weapons. Looks like the Dougster is in trouble again!)
We just had to get caught breaking into the TGS lawyer's office trying to get some incriminating evidence on him! Now the four of us are probably going to jail for a while! Shoot! I thought we were better burglars than THIS! Okay, on to more relevant things.
Fox and the Pack- I agree with Ravyn. I couldn't see her staying on with them for long, because she was in full possesion of her good looks and mental faculties and the rest weren't. When she got together with Xanatos, I was personally not surprised and very gladdened by what I saw. It fit so well, they just worked great together as a couple. The only better one I've seen on Gargoyles is Elisa and Goliath! That's my opinion, anyway. So yeah, it was in her character to leave the pack. And also a good thing, I think.
Senior pranks- We had plans, let me tell you. But then the high school I went to, a religous Catholic honor-ranked one, cracked down on senior pranks with a warning from the principal that any senior who tried one would get in serious trouble. Penalties included suspension, not being able to go to prom, and even diploma withholding. So that kinda killed all our plans. We did have ideas, though. Many good ones, nothing spectacular.
Firestorm: You can write romance too, I see. Hope to soon see more fanfic from you. Keep up the good work!
(One of the guards snaps "That's all you can say now, Doug! Get moving!" and prods him with the rifle barrel.)
Okay, geez, you don't have to be so forceful. Next time, people. Later!

*Cassandra flies into the chatroom, wearing a pair of headphones that blaring Urge Overkill. She lands, stops the Walkman, and unplugs her ears.*
I have to wonder just how much Fox was using the Pack. Did her plans and Xanatos just coincide or did she have her own agenda? But I feel that even if Fox and Xanatos didn't have a relationship, Fox would have probably cut her losses with Wolf, Jackel, and Hyena. The sane and smart don't mix well with the obsessed and psychotic.
The big shocker for me was when Xanatos admitted he loved her--even if it was in a cold, calculating way. Is the villian in love or is he just using her? was the big question.
Now, the interesting question is what kind of person will Alexander grow up to be? Look at all the influences, Mom, Dad, Puck/Owen, the clan, the grandparents on both sides. Can anyone else hear him trying to explain his family to anyone else in New York? And just to round things out, let's make his tutor of non-magical things a New Olympian.

Rayvn>> I, too, hate wanton destruction. Out here in southern NM (I can't remember the city) someone in a 4x4 ran it all over a new golf course causing thousands in damage and lost revenues for the golf course. They tore up lots of the turf. I'm not into jocks of any kind and I think golf is silly, but to each their own. I think this type of thoughtless behavior was, just that, thoughtless and illconsidered. Many people do things without thinking of who gets hurt or who has to pay for something if there is damage. There are levels of pranks that range from relatively harmless such as tping someone's trees to the other end slashing tires and spraypainting the school busses. If you feel like doing somethings stupid remember, another way to spell stupid is D.O.A.
Sorry for the rant. I just hate people who's idea of fun hurts someone, either directly or indirectly.

Fox leaving the Pack for Xanatos>> Okay, I'll admit: At first, I was totally shocked. Then I thought about it, and it seemed kinda cool, because I thought it really showed a lot more about her character when she was with Xanatos. I especially like how she and David have the same addiction to sneaky dealings, like with the whole chess-game thing in "Upgrade".

OK, I'll play. The class of '92 completely silly-stringed all the the Juniors cars. It made a big mess and a big bill for the school. Because of it 5 seniors didn't graduate. And about 2 dozen were banned from the prom.
Also any updates for the Gargoyle CCG? or RPG?
Finally a Question: Were you glad or mad when Fox dumpped the Pack for Xanatos?

Okay, guys, I'm gonna try to start up a conversation here:
Today in my hometown some students (in my opinion) played a _really_ bad Senior prank. Since our town is oh-so-nice-and-small, we have a big dirt lot where all the school buses are parked during the night. Well, some seniors went into the lot last night and slashed ALL the buses' tires and spraypainted '99' all over them. A ton of kids from high school on down couldn't get to school and I felt really bad for them. There's still a big manhunt in my town tonight as police try to figure out who did it! (and whoever did is gonna be in BIG trouble!) Anyways, has anyone seen any really bad or really good Senior pranks? I need to start thinking of some good ones since I graduate next year...

Sorry, but you would not believe the trouble I have gone through to get my new web site up. Not that it's anything fancy, but it's all mine and I'm proud of it. I also got a picture of me and my alter ego in. Click on my name if you're curious.
I'm glad the TGS site will be low on JAVA. I'm not a very patient person and I tend to get upset if something I've been waiting for takes a long time to load. I agree with Lisa on the picture changes, but I have a question. Will any of the artwork we use is this chatroom be available for viewing at the TGS site?

For anyone who's curious: the hairball was last seen twenty miles north of Laramie. (I passed out around then and let Thelma and Louise take up the chase.)
SJ -- I'm SORRY, but what am I gonna do? I wasn't the one who kidnapped my aunt Donna's dog! Your dad or whoever was working for him should have heeded the seven or so neon warning signs to the effect that the hairball is completely certifiable. Those signs have been up after the last group that tried dog-napping practically begged us to take Patches back. Besides, I'm already working two jobs to pay tuition costs, and if your dad can afford all the equipment he needs for his experiments, he's ten times financially better off than me!
And I'll be undergoing the wisdom-tooth-pulling-misery that Gore's endured in a few weeks anyway, so I'm already scheduled for suffering. :)
Okay, I'd better go so I can get a shower before *gag* Honors. I really doubt any of my profs would buy my current late excuse.

OK, after one day of questions, here are the results:
-There will be NO Java of any sort on the list. I'd love to do it, but to do and enhanced site, a normal site, and a text only site every week is murder.
-The site will undergo only a partial makeover. The font MAY change but the interface will change to make it easier for everyone to work with.
-Chris Rogers, head of wyvernweb, assures me the server will not crash come Oct 5th.
-I can only confirm this once I see the file, but there may be a RealAudio version of the season premiere when Oct. 5th rolls around. This is a recording made by Thomas F. Revor, Jr. during Gathering 98.
-Everything will stay on the site... except for Behind The Scenes. I don't know if there is a need to continue that since we really didn't do many things interesting there.
-We will seperate the seasons accordingly. No question about that.
-There already is a text site. http://www.region3.com/gargsaga/
-As for what font to use, font #2 got the most votes but I might end up using all 4 fonts one way or another.
Next time... a preview of the new interface.

(Doug, Jim, Shap, and Keith enter the room, all dressed in depressingly average clothes and wearing their mustache-glasses-and-big-nose disguises. Doug waves, and two of his friends begin scouting the room with video cameras while Keith runs upstairs to see if he can crack the TGS Lawyer's office. Soon the problem will be handled.)
I'm glad this disguise is still working. Wouldn't want that evil vulture the TGS Staff has for a lawyer to know I was defying the court order. But even if he did know, there's nothing he can do to keep me out!
DumlaoX- Font 2 is Lisa and my personal fave. Other than that, I suggest you just keep the site how it is, seperate the seasons, and don't use Java. There, that takes care of that bit.
Firestorm- How do I put this? To quote the Pink Ranger, you make me sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, SICK!!! But honestly, I've never read anybody's gore in stories better. Only Ryan Stout comes close, and he doesn't have the great psychological terror feel yours does. Keep up the good work, man. Having met you at the Gathering, I did not expect you to have this kind of talent. Wes Craven could take lessons from you. Hope you get outta the woods alive, man, and be careful with that cannon. I wouldn't want you to accidentally hit any of the good guys.
Lady Mystic- Yes, I've learned from my mistakes, but the TGS Lawyer hasn't. For that he shall pay! Just as soon as we get enough incriminating evidence to disbar him and his pal Chester Grimalkin. Muhahaha!!
(Suddenly the TGS lawyer walks in and looks at Doug, Jim, and Shap oddly. Then he shrugs and starts heading towards his office.)
Damn it! (Doug grabs his radio and speaks into it.) Keith, abort! Dragonboy, abort!! Get out of there now! Now, man! He's coming upstairs!!
(Suddenly the noise of a fight and loud screaming echoes from upstairs and a few minutes later, Keith comes down, wiping the blood off his weapon of choice, a big 30 cm steel socket wrench attached to a metal stick and chain so it can be used like a nunchuk. (Yes, he really has one of these! He made it himself just to kick butt with!) "Wasn't able to find anything, but I took care of the lawyer," he says. "He should be out for a while. Let's get out of here before he wakes up and sees through our disguises.")
Okay, Keith. Let's go, guys. We can try again later. Until next time, people!

Instead, the T-100,000 that was chasing her and Doug is in the seat beside her and some big fat guy who kinda looks like a young Frohike is reaching over the back seat to tinker with the stuff in the thing's head.)
Well, that Terminator who was after us had a serious software glitch. He thought I was Sarah Connor and was going to try and kill me. Thankfully, we took him down with a stun-gun and now Alex is reprogramming him so he'll be on our side. We came out of this on top, as always.
Doug has gone on ahead using his friend's supersonic silent helicopter to take care of that TGS lawyer and his Unseelie ally before they try to ban anybody else from the comment room. You may see him there shortly.
Firestorm: Looks like you're in serious trouble. The Term and I would swing by and help, but we have no idea where you are. One thing I'm curious about. Why haven't you tried to save Bubba and Billy? You certainly have enough heavy artillery to make short work of Jackal and Hyena. Are you just too scared for some reason, or what? Anyway, I hope and pray you come out of this alive. I really want to meet you IRL. And Stephen, too. Please don't hit him too hard with that cannon when you find him eventually.
Lady Mystic: I'm looking toward the field of counseling psychology right now, as I'd really like to work in some kind of institution as their psychologist on-staff. Hopefully it will be a school, maybe even the same one Doug ends up teaching history at when he gets out of here. That's his current plan, anyway. Thanks for the informative talk about psychoanalyzing and the Internet, and the one about egos. They confirmed many things I was already sure about as far as those topics go. Yes, we're friends, and a truce never needed to be declared. We were just both defending our boyfriends' honor, and that's understandable. In answer to your question about what male competition I saw in the post, well, the part where Firestorm goes "No, Doug, your ego really IS that big!" sounds like it to me. So do the crazed tirades about his gods and the Jackal hunt, you ought to read that post again if you don't know what I'm talking about. And the flirting? That was the whipped-cream and strawberries being used for "other purposes" stuff. Sounds like you two have an interesting sex life. I can't remember the last time Doug and I did anything like that. (Mental note: I should encourage Doug to pick up those items next time he visits the grocery store.) Don't worry about pissing me off, it hardly ever happens (Stephanie is the one in the family with the temper, not me). You can say whatever you want to me, and I'll respond to it however I feel is best. That's all I'll say now, don't want to make this post too long-winded.
DumlaoX- The website's fine how it is, but you do need to seperate the seasons somehow and definitely keep Season 1 so everybody can make references. Might I also suggest updating the picture archive and dividing it into character portrait and scene sections? That's one change I think would be beneficial. The Gargoyles font for episode titles and the Regular font for everything else are the best, IMO.
That's all for now, I have to go study. See y'all next post!

Lady Mystic thanks for asking about the wretched little beasts. I don't know which one did it but right in the middle of the comment room one got behind the tv and disconnected the phone line. I have to pull a 25 inch console out to plug it in and it still takes more acrobatics than I can get away with. Brats. Lovie will be a mommy any day now.
Do we have a Gathering 99 website set up yet? I heard about the contest but do we have an update site yet?
It's safe to go back to Chistine's Comment Room. The books are supposedly being shipped and available in the next ten days.
Coyote are accessing Christy's stories through her website The Rockaway or the Gargoyle fanfic archives it might make a difference.

TGS improvements:
NO JAVA!! I can't stress this enough. My computer completely crashes when it tries to process Java.
Maybe make a text-only mirror site (like the comment room's text-only mirror)? I know I for one have all the graphics turned off on my browser because it makes the pages faster to upload (with certain exceptions: every time I try to bring up one of Christi Smith Hayden's stories (and I'm thinking of a particular one with one of her characters suffering bone cancer, I can't remember the title right now but I really liked it ... **slapped upside the head by Pontiac, who just entered the room**), the computer puts up its hands (figuratively) and gives up!).
That's all my suggestions.
**Coyote wonders how he's going to leave the room, considering Buick drove off with the truck and Pontiac needs her arms to glide, since she's web-winged. His solution suddenly presents itself in Lina, who enters the room, pulls out her Avalon stone and makes everybody disappear.**
**Then everybody who didn't want to leave the room comes back.**

**A vent from the cooling duct on the roof of the comment room falls down into the room, clattering as it hits the floor. From the cooling duct, Ravyn carefully climbs down, looking around nervously**
Mandi, is that mutant dog-thing gone yet? It scared me to death on my way into the room, so I hid in the air ducts and...well, you know the rest. :)
Firestorm: Send Bubba's loved ones my condolences for that really weird story.
Coyote: Loved the next chapter of Clan Manhattan, as always! (Buick driving, heh, heh...)
TGS SITE: 1) I don't know, but I would only give it a partial makeover, because it's pretty darn good lookin' already.
2) I personally don't mind Javascript, but it does annoy me with how long it takes to load sometimes and some other people might have problems with viewing it, so I wouldn't use it.
3) I think the type of fonts you should use would differ with what stuff you're using it on, but...I'd pick #3.
4) Hmm...Season 1 should definitely stick around somehow, 'cause I'm the type that goes back and notices different things after I see newer stories. Keep the credits definitely also, and the Comment Room! I couldn't pick any one thing to get rid of on the site.
5) Anything that you guys can think of that's cool, I'd love to see on the site!
Well, gotta go, folks! **Ravyn jumps up on a chair, then jumps from there back into the air ducts. She crawls out of the room through the ducts, all the while humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.**

Jimbo Marsh and War Buddy Ned walk into the room. Suddenly, Jimbo notices the TGS lawyer. "It's a bloodsucking attorney, and it's COMING RIGHT FOR US!!!!"
Jimbo aims a laser shooter he bought from "Dracon Guns" four years ago and blasts the lawyer. As the lawyer explodes, War Buddy Ned mutters, "Oh! Man! That is Nasty!" Both leave the CR fearing a police investigation.

**The door opens and Mandi comes in accompanied by two female gargoyles, all carrying nets and holding bags of M&Ms.**
Hi all! Just on a hatchling/puppy hunt right now. Anyone happen to see that hyperactive hairball of mine? He took off with a couple of already crazed hatchlings, and we're all worried about how long they'll last with him.
That, and I think Sevarius might have gotten his hands on the dog. SJ -- your dad had any new canine patients that are even louder and yappier than usual?
Lady Mystic -- Eighth? Fifteenth? FORTY-TWO! :)
I agree about the divisions between seasons; it would allow readers to review favorite eps of Season 1 without having to mess with organizational problems. Currently, I don't think a major revamp is in order; I like the look of the TGS page currently. And I can't see it with frames.
I last heard from Merlin Missy on the 25th, but so far that's the last reported "sighting" Merlin, where are you? We miss you! First Jackal and now Missy....brrr, I smell conspiracy... :)
**The sound of heavy footsteps comes from outside. Mandi, Madison, and Sheridan turn towards the window, gaping at the hulking form bearing down on the comment room.**
Oh my God....Everybody DOWN!
**They all dive for cover as a hairy form the size of a Siberian tiger jumps through the window, dashing through the room with two small hatchlings clinging on to its fur and cheering. It promptly smashes its way out the far wall and is gone again. Mandi slowly gets up, brushing herself off.**
Whoa. Everyone okay? Sherry, put the gun down... **The two gargoyles tear out through the hole in hot pursuit of the mutant dog, leaving Mandi to deal with the new CR lawyer, who looks suspiciously like the alien bounty hunter from the X-Files.**
All right, all right, the damages are gonna be paid. I swear. You're gonna have to bill this guy.... **neatly prints out the name for him to read** 'Anton Sevarius.' There you go. Whew.
Sevarius Jr, I'm sorry, but I'm broke, not at fault, and have to catch Psycho Clifford out there! Later!
**Mandi dashes out the way Sheridan and Madison went, screaming, "Where the heck is Animal Control when you need it?"**

Either 8th or 15th, depending on how you look at it.
Merlin Missy: Did you get my e-mail (dated 8-23)? Hmm, do you need a poke? Oh alright, I won't poke you -- yet anyway. <G> I understand the delay with your schedule and everything. Wait, or did I offend you in some way? I'm sorry. Wait a minute, I'll stop before I get aheard of myself. (I'm just impatient, don't mind me.)
Theresa: I've been meaning to ask you this for a long time and I always forget. How are the furfoots doing? We haven't hear much about them lately. :)
Lisa>
Thanks for the apology. And I apologize too. Truce? Friends? <:)
Anyways, I can understand how you may have confused some of Fire Storm's comments as a form of ego-boosting. And I understand how you could have seen otherwise. It's much more difficult to psycho-analyze others who you have only met online (and not in person). There are a lot of disadvantages to this when trying to understand the people you talk to. It's hard to fully translate others' meanings and emotions from only written words. There are no voice inflections, no body language, no communication except the written word. Too many things are misunderstood. At times there is far too much miscommunication. Maybe you should try and do what I do, give everyone the benefit of the doubt. At least until you meet them IRL. It will make things work out much better that way in the long run.
Of course a big ego isn't a bad thing, well at least generally. And of course everyone has egos. Everyone. An ego isn't just something people have though. It is something people use (in a sense) to deal with life's situations. Bragging is one thing that boosts our self esteem. And that's a good thing. But sometimes we can go a little too far on building up our ego. It's great to be self confident, but not to throw it around all the time. Sometimes we need to do that for ourselves, sometimes we don't. But sometimes it may backfire on you in different ways. Most common, it could change other people's opinions of you. That's not good. And it's too easy to make a habit of bragging and boasting. You can end up alienating yourself. That's some of the downsides to having a large ego. But yes, an ego is good. It's how you manage it that could be bad.
So what specifically are you heading for in psychology? You know, goals and your major... (As you already know I like psychology too.)
Doug & Lisa: Not to start an arguement, just something for clarification: One thing about your posts confuses me though, what flirtatious remarks and what (male) competition were you two talking about? I don't see any.
Doug: Don't be too hard on yourself. (Er... I mean don't let the TGS lawyer be too hard on you.) I think you have learned from your mistake(s). (Maybe we should call Hunter Fire Storm over to "handle" the lawyer problem for ya. I mean, with a 125mm canon there will be nothing left of the buzzard. Er... you know what I mean.) :)
Heh, that reminds me. Fire Storm and I were surprised no one ever pointed out the over kill of the canon. 125mm canon...
JAVA: Well I don't know much about computers and websites. But I'm learning. From what I've heard about Java I think my answer would be "no Java for the site". (But some might miss having a cup of coffee.) Seriously though, I agree with Fire Storm, "IF you do make frames and Java, make a un-enhanced site also, please."
FONT: Well I like them all actually, but it depends on what you had in mind for the font. Do you mean The Gargoyles Saga title, each series title (DA, TD, Gargs, and Pen.), the TGS Comment Room title, and the categories below that (Behind the Scenes, Feedback, Credits, Disclaimer, Links, Themes, and Picture Archive)? You probably do, right? Well ... Hmm... I'll have to really think about that.
SITE: Well as you probably already have thought this through, but I thought I might as well say this since you asked. There will need to be something done to view the two separate seasons. Something to avoid confusion. And don't forget the credits list. Each season having it's own credits list. (I think season one credits needs to be updated and redone. I'm pretty sure it's missing a lot of people and story titles.) Could you make it so the Behind the Scenes segments are archived so if someone missed something, or it they wanted to read it again late, they could still see it? And the Picture Archive needs to be updated. (It's missing pics from Season1. Probably with two separate segments or something. You know: Pictures Archive: Season1 and Season2.) I think basically everything should be divided into Season1 and Season2. Although, what you decide upon could make more work for you and/or make everything confusing for us readers. I'm sorry I have so many ideas about the site going through my head it would take up too much space and time to mention it all here. And I'm probably not helping much anyway. Ahh, I'll see what others say and what you think before I try to clear my statements up. Who knows, maybe you understand what I said (even if you already thought of all this before).
Yep, Fire Storm is one sick puppy. But fun. You should hear him read his little sick tale. It makes it even funnier. (Ahh, you probably didn't think it was funny.) Anyways, it's entertaining. I wonder how many of you want to meet him IRL now? I also wonder how many of you DON'T want to meet him IRL? But seriously, he isn't a sick person. He likes thinking up this stuff, but nothing in his life portrays this stuff.
Um, I'll continue this later. It's getting too long. Bye! :)

FIRESTORM - You are a truly sick and twisted person. (Of course, I'm one to talk, considering that I once started up a discussion in the regular comment room about whether Jackal, Hyena, and Wolf would ever try to actually eat the gargoyles :) And all this time, I thought that Hyena's sickness extended to lusting after machines. Seems that I was wrong. (Of course, what right does Jackal have to complain about it, considering his "life and death at my command" phase, and his little daydream about giving Goliath's face a makeover in Guatemala ? :)

<The hunting party enters the clearing where the truck is. Fire Storm walks up to the truck and swears.
"Damnit Bubba! I durn let my key's in the truck!"
Fire Storm pulls out his 125mm cannon and points it towards the window of the truck.
"Bubba, I am gonna shoot out the winder, ok?"
Bubba shakes his head no.
"Dmanit, Bubba, what was I tinkin? If I shoot the winder with my gun, there will be no truck left to drive.>
My fiction is so dark, I don't have creativity demons, i have creativity Damian's
<The party, or whats left of them, are standing by the truck wondering what thier going to do when rain starts coming down.
"Damnit, Bubba! Why didn't ya pack a tent?"
Bubba makes all sorts of mime-gestures.
"Hmm... good point. We did need the room for the cooler."
As the rain pours down, Fire Storm comments that it can't get any worse.
Then they hear Hyena's cackle break the silence of the forest.
"Hey Bubba, it got worse.
Bubba?
HEY BUBBA! Where are you?"
Meakly. "Help.">

It may surprise many of you to hear that I have never seen any of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films, nor Silence of the Lambs, I don't watch horror movies at all.
Unless it is sci-fi horror.
The sick sad thing is that came ENTIRELY from my mind. (With a little help from a website I visited a few years ago on how to raise, skin, drain, and prepare human flesh for consumption. Sick, I know, but I COULDN'T STOP READING IT!)
Speaking of Stories...
My submission to Avalon Mists was rejected for being too dark and adult. Go figure.
For those of you that met me at the gathering, did you expect THAT type of fiction from me?
JAVA: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!(Mamma-me-a, mamma-me-a, mamma-me-a-let me go! Er...)
Beacuse of Java on the current site, it takes about 20 seconds for the first page to load, even though I have all of the graphics on my computer. And my system is no slouch either. IF you do make frames and Java, make a un-enhanced site also, please.
Somthing to worry about: Having dinner at my place!
NO! Well, that too, but...
On October fifth, midnight, Will the TGS server crash? I mean, with this many people hitting the site within a minute of eachother, you had better have a decent connection on that server!
And yes, my e-mail did change. THIS time, I think it may be permanent.

*A configuration of shining ley lines appear, looking suspiciously like a bunch of physics equations and vectors. Mandi slides in on one, trips, and falls to the floor as the lines all disappear.*
I'm never going to explain this one to my poor physics prof. :) Tenth! (Ninth if you don't count DumlaoX's second post...)
About the Java: No, no, no, NO! My comp isn't sluggish by any means, and Javascript (especially those scrolling banners) still drives me nuts!!
DumlaoX -- Checked out the font page, and you're going to need to redo the HTML: none of the samples are coming up. The "D:///temp/" address your HTML writer stuck in there is screwing them up.
I did manage to find the four fonts: and I have to say I like the last two fonts better. Respectively, they're at

http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/test/font2.jpg

Fire Storm -- Interesting. Oh, look, the dining hall's going to open for lunch in a few minutes... :) Yes, it was a sick little tale, but you did put up a warning or two, and I did go ahead and read it anyway. Who does Hyena think she is, Hannibal Lecter? ;)
That's all. I've finally started to get over my interminable case of writer's block....

Just a little over a month away from TGS season 2. We've been on the net for almost a year now and have grown considerably in that time. Now it's time for a few questions about one of the most important parts to TGS...
the website.
I need most or all of you to answer the following questions about the TGS site:
1) should the current site get a total makeover (i.e.- change everything) or just a partial makeover (i.e.- change only a few items but not everything).
2) Should JavaScript be used on the site at all?
3) Click my name to see a selection of fonts. What would be the best font to use for the titles if TGS were to undergo a makeover of any sort?
4) If anything gets changed, what should stay and what should go?
5) What would you like to see for the site?
That's all the questions for now. If I come up with anymore, I'll let you all know here first. Please post all answers in the comment room. Your feedback is needed... otherwise I could run amok and there's no telling what I would do to this place :P
Till next time...

I may have forgotten: thanx for the welcome.
Theresa: thanx for the advice.
101 things to do while you're waiting for the Rising. (okay, it's only 5 but, hey, the creativity demon has big fangs that dig deep - it's just not very big ;))
#1 imagine what you would do if you found yourself in the unseelie court with a great big (iron) chainsaw. (Too many horror films for newgoyle, do ya think?)
#2 Break out the face paint and give your little sister a makeover, gargoyle style.
#3 One word: videos - settle back with a big bowl of popcorn for your own 24 hr gargoyle channel.
#4 Battle screaming and non-gargoyle-loving siblings for control of the video remote. (tragic, isn't it? no appreciation for fine entertainment. :))
#5 start your own gargoyle-spotting club. Just don't throw yourself off a skyscraper in the hope that one will catch you, unless you have wings, of course.
Opps, ran out of things to do. Ideas anyone?
Oh, one more - try to dislodge small, but clingy creativity demons.

<Fire Storm's hunting party apears on the monitor in the chat room. On it, Fire Storm is crouched on a tree with his cannon on his shoulders.
"Ok, people! We have tracked down the Jackal to this clearing. Bubba! See if ya can get him on video!"
Fire Storm aims his 125mm cannon at Jackal, looks through the viewfinder, then with a sad look on his face, puts the cannon back into his jacket. On the monitor now is a picture of a human with golden metal covering more than half of his body. He is slicing a tree with his fingers.
"Damn! Wrong Jackal. Cyborg ain't in season until next week." He looks at the camera. "Next week on Overkill Hunting, we'll be hunting Cyborg!"
He watches Jackal for a moment before realizing somthing.
"Only one. Wheres the other? Cyborg's usually are in pairs, right Billy? Billy? Where did you go Billy? Oh Shi..."
And the monitor goes dead.>
Third!
(I hope we make it to next weeks show!)
Still no real Jackal to report. Still looking and waiting.
I kinda miss his rantings.
Doug: Tough Break. Don't piss off the lawyers!
<"DAMN IT Bubba! Move it! IF'n we don't get back to the truck soon, we's gonna die just like poor Billy!"
After running for awhile, Fire Storm starts patting his jacket.
