Hmm… two I can think of off the bat are:

"diamond shaped calves"

"baseball/softball sized biceps"

Although I admit I sorta played off that last one in The Stray.

Uh… actually…

^^;;; … I read the side notes on your Tetsuko drawings.

[JimmyDimples]

Well, PNB, great hearing from you after all this time.  The fanfiction…

Uh… yeah.

Ponderous, man.  Really ponderous.

Them's pretty big words, too.

To fess up, I've never been a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft.  And I found your story… erm… a bit hard to follow.

I guess that means on that count that I'm still a "guy on the street" style writer… a "plate glass" writer, so I'm not exactly able to get 100% into the "stained glass" writing style of this work.

I also had a bit of trouble rectifying the act of a God creating smaller beings in His own image… as a Grand First Sin.  Sorta made it hard to enjoy the rest.

Still… it's a contribution, all right.

Sweet art, Black-K.  Makes me want to get in a Valentine's Day hugsome with these three, too!  :-*

Thor, God of Suck:

Did someone on the forum do something bad to deserve this?

If so, please tell me what it was so that we'll make DEAD CERTAIN not to do it again.  :'(

This could be good, if the results of revitalizing "Galactica" are any indication.

But what bothers me is the indication that this producer had been "combing through the library at Universal…  to find another title to revive[.]" Whatever happened to coming up with your own ideas? (Yes, I know… Hollywood, creative bankruptcy, yada yada.)

*looks at file he has:  TetsukoAndDynaStoryIdeas.txt*

:-[

*hits the delete key* ( :P)

OK, seriously, there's nothing like taking something good and making it better.  True, many sci-fi heads deemed the original Galactica as "Battlestar ExLaxia" and other uncomplimentary stuff.  I haven't seen the remake, but have heard lots of good things.  I hope they use the same care here…

Just one thing… why no remake of the Six Million Dollar Man?  (and how much would said Man cost in 21st century dollars?)

KeithXZ:

Hi, hail, and well met.  I finally sat down and read everything you had to say.  And I have to say, you hit the bullseye on a LOT of stuff.  Especially with slow development when you're in something for the long haul, and facing new villains.  (Makes me think you've had experience with playing superhero RPGs… were you a gamemaster for Champions or something?). 

And I particularly tuned into this:

C. A being with absolute total power can display compassion.  Compassion isn't a common part of this genre, but maybe it should be. 

This is something that oughta be carved into letters fifty feet high on the mountainside.  Something that makes me queasy is how people think that power means you have to be mean and nasty.  When I started reading FMG/GTS I got sick and tired of the power trip in a hurry, and after reading a lot of that, that's what fired me up to write myself… to counter all that, and to have a heroine that's likable, and actually a HEROINE.

Another thing that'd help in developing a growing, stronger girl's story is to have her winning in one front, but losing on another.  It's something that occurs a lot in high school Magic Princess manga and anime.  It usually has to deal with someone who vaporized the meanest monster to ever hit the streets of Tokyo, but later on in school, she can't pass the test, she's always late to class, and she can't even get the attention of that cute guy she wants for a sweetie.

Same thing here… being an 8-foot tall, well endowed, hot-as-a-pistol Uberbabe who can lift an Abrams tank in one hand while sipping a Snapple in the other isn't that comforting when the guys are scared off from your mass, and scared children hug their mommies crying when they just see you. 

In any event… if you haven't written any stories just yet, I'd sure like to see you start something.  If it's as good as your little essay here, I'd think we'd have another ace writer in our ranks!  ;D

😀  Awwww…. mayhem and property damage.  The gift that keeps on giving. ^_^ <3

Merci beaucoup, mon ami.

[JimmyDimples]

I was wondering about the old stats… it shows how much progress you're making.

And it seems you're making quite a bit. 

Keep it up! 🙂

[JimmyDimples]

Dang.  63 of 'em?

I'm thinking of a pic where AD is gang-hugged by 'em all.  ;D

Too Much of a Good Thing!
