Perhaps Kitsune just wanted to keep playing the role of Hollywood superstar.

Oh hey! Welcome back Amazee Dayzee! :D

Well, I'm almost done with this series. As I near entering my new career, I'm doubtful that I'll have any time left to continue these :( . It's been fun and I thank those still reading for their patience.

Anyway, happy belated Halloween! :twisted:

So does this mean continuing our fanfiction might be out of the question also? :|

For the creepy effect, I layered the text in different shades of increasing darkness.

Sadly. :( However, I have one last chapter that I've been holding on to (somewhat refurbished from something else I wrote long ago). I can try and PM it to you here later when it's a little more polished.

Awwwwww. I is sad now. But I'll see if I can get someone else to co-write with me. There have to be some writers willing.

Oh.
Since I am basically an inept in this technique, may I have your permission to use a shaded font?

Sure. In hindsight, I probably should have gone with something like that for simplicity.

So, from what I can understand, demon dude was screwed from the beginning.

Love how they gave it choices for reasons to hate them. :lol:

Excellent artwork, and the writing was both exciting and humorous. One of my favorite parts was when Heidi called Tarot a pomegranate. Also, I enjoyed the interaction of Daisy and Heidi.

Err...what's a 'met landfill' and 'met dump'? I need to know to translate (also to appreciate the joke). THX

"Met" = "Mentropolitan". Maybe. Or like the "Marx dump" where the Marx toy company dumped all their unwanted PVC animals, dinosaurs, soldiers, playsets and so on. Or not.

To confirm, yes, I was using "MET" for metropolitan. I couldn't think of anything clever at the time.

Scene in question. Bit of a note, if the director says he doesn't need to see your face, don't keep putting in your face. :lol:

Just to confirm, I haven't completely abandoned this fic. I've just been terribly busy. Here's a tiny preview of the next strip, which I have no idea when I'll have time to complete.

Even though I doubt I'll be doing any more after this arc ends, here's something else that I had considered for a while. Heidi has three sisters: Molly, Elizabeth, and Kathleen. Two of them are shown in this sketch. They are each adopted by a different family. However, fate will bring them together when their biological mother, Gertrude, passes away and her will calls for them to each attain a share of her secret fortune. ...If you can guess the commonality of their names, kudos to you.

They look really nice, man. And nothing is coming to mind regarding references.

Nope. Nothing for me either as the only thing I can think of is that they all have WASP-y names. :lol:

Oh well. The reference was quite vague, pertaining to a child actress from the 30's and 40's. Surely everyone's grandmother has heard of her. They just need to knead their temple and think for a moment.

I though Shirley Temple pretty much played characters that had her same name but a different last name.

She played plenty of characters with different names. She played Heidi in the movie "Heidi". In "Curly Top", she played Elizabeth.

I never really given her much thought. Especially when I was 6 and at my uncle's wedding and I tried a non-alcoholic version of her drink and didn't like it. :lol:

Neither did she, actually.
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

Shirley Temple didn’t like Shirley Temples. She thought they were too sweet.
