The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Update: This and That

The job is  not so bad, to be honest. Though they've kept me on the same dratted machine for the past week. My feet are nearly numb, my legs are raw, and I cant help but feel a bit fatigued. The boss man told me that the guy who originally runs that machine shall be back from vacation tomarrow. So I'm eagerly awaiting to see what I'll be doing for a good ten hours straight starting early mornin'.

I also cant wait to see what my paycheck will look like. Knowing its not going to be much, I just know my money is going to be dreadfully tight. But hey. Its a paycheck. =P

Anyway, I'm thinking about starting a new page on the ol e-mail group, outlining the projects I am working on and updating their progress as progress progresses.  Let's see... what is there to tell at the momment?

Well, writting has been a bit slow since my employment (work pains and feeling dreadfully tired each day has not been much help in this department) but I'm slowly regaining my creative ego. Recently I just started back up on a comic book that I've mentioned here before that I am under contract to do. The author of the book that comic book is based off is named Patsy Trigg. I'm attatching her e-mail to these updates (through the e-mailing group, for those who are members to it) so that she can get a glimpse of things as they come. She has been very supportive of my writting and illustration endeavors and she has been a good friend. So feel free to welcome her, if your in a good greeting mood. =)

Here's the list of projects so far that are in the works:
Large Novels
- The Children of Arkia; Book 1; Journey to Ceria [first draft (secon d take)]
- Longfeather; Book 1; Child of the Desert [first draft (third take) - title may change]
- The Marlox Chronicles; The All Seeing Eye Stone [first draft]

Short Children's Novels:
- Tales of Woodlin Hill (planned to be a series); The Birthday Treasure Hunt [first draft]
- Percy the Poinsettia Comic Book (Story Author: Patsy Trigg) [currently being scripted]

That's all for now. More soon!

Hello:
 Well, as you said, the work should not be bad and that is truly worthy the effort. I hope you'll get to get at least enough money for you to stand up again.
 About your rpojects, that's awesome, you are truly into something big, with lots of projects. I hope you'll have success with all of them.

Sorry to hear about the pain your job is causing you.  Reminds me of my friend who now works at the aluminum factory....Anyway I hope it doesn't crush your spirit too much.  Good luck.
