If you guys want any other pieces from your galleries to be highlighted, please let me know! :)



As most of you have probably noticed, I've been bombarding my poor watchers with words lately. WORDS. You know? Instead of just pretty pictures.

In case you decided to click those away from your watch centre, for which I wouldn't really blame you, here's the news flash: those where the chapters of my PCBC OS round 3 entry.

I didn't have the time to do a proper comic this round, so I went with the written format instead. Let me just say that prior to this round I hadn't written a proper story in ages. I can't even remember the last time I had a go at it, but during this round I rediscovered my love for literature and writing. It's been awesome.


That said, I think it's only fair if I pull the plug out of Sandy's PCBC OS adventures now. There are several reasons for this.

:bulletgreen: For one, I wouldn't feel comfortable advancing in this OCT using literature. Writing is nowhere near as easy as some people think it is, but I entered this OCT to write comics. That's what people were expecting from me, and it's what I wanted to do. Had I started out using literature in the first place, it might have been a different story, but there ya go.

:bulletgreen: The second problem is with the character I chose to use, Sandy herself. I've been writing her since 2006, which is when SoL began. Things became way more intense when I entered her into the BT, which was a year ago, and I've been using her intensively ever since then. But let's be frank: that gets old, even for me. I feel I might have explored all of her pre-SoL capabilities as a character by now, and I'm ready to move on. I wouldn't even have entered her into the OS if it hadn't been for all the BT-survivors hanging out there. So I think I'm done writing for her for now (excluding the final BT entry, of course).
Note that all this won't affect her role in SoL. That's when she'll have a new set of character developments coming in, and she also has a cast with whom she can share the spotlight.

:bulletgreen: The third issue is not really a problem, as it can be worked around with clever plotting and writing but it's simply this: Spoiler for the sake of SoL's storyline (takes place after all of these OCTs) Sandy can't meet Mew or Mewtwo. And the OS seems to be crawling with them. XD End of spoiler

:bulletgreen: Err... do time issues count?



So anyway, that's it. Thanks for following Sandy's little roller-coaster ride through OCT land, I hope you guys will enjoy her final BT round, and hopefully I'll see you all in the PCBC OS chat! And thank you *Edowaado for being such a good sport about the whole thing. I appreciate it.

Well, if Sandy came to life, she might (ultimately) thank you tons, since she wanted to be disqualified in the first round.

Gunna read your stories when I get a chance, but they've implemented a new physical training routine over here on the base, and I've just kinda been dropping dead as soon as I get back to my room lately. So my activity on here has really dropped recently.

...And I re-downloaded Elder Scrolls: Oblivion... but that has nothing to do with my time management...
*cough*

Sad to hear you dropping, but I understand on all points. Especially Point 2. Thanks for being a cool opponent and competitor, though!
And the Mew/Mewtwo bit... yeah... I can't believe the popularity. |D

I haven't been just deleting them, although I've been fave-and-running them a lot. >w>

More written work in general would be awesome if you can find the time. You're a good writer, I've enjoyed reading the OS entry very much. C:

I still haven't gotten around to reading them, but I will eventually. |D

I think you've made the right choice. ^^

I think you're making the right decision. There is only so much you can do with one character before they become old news, and then you lose interest. It was a good read, by the way. Why don't you write some short stories?
