I think if somebody makes it because they think that the fan-fiction is notable enough to warrant it you can edit pieces of it. A guy that I talk with named ConnorDavidson on DeviantArt had someone set it up for his comic, "Sly Cooper: The Thief of Virtue" and I think if he wanted to he could edit it.

Sounds workable to me. Give it a try.

Working on the current episode of my fan fiction and then going to clean my room.

Planning on eating dinner and trying to relax.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Apr 11, 2020 7:21 pm

Did take-out for dinner - "Impossible Burgers". A lot of restaurants are doing take-out now, but they're also reducing availability hours.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Apr 11, 2020 11:39 pm

It's either gonna be take-out or curbside delivery for the foreseeable future.

Vertigo Fox · Post by **Vertigo Fox** » Sun Apr 12, 2020 4:24 pm

We've got a wonderful little company here called Skip the Dishes which does delivery for restaurants that wouldn't normally deliver food.
Including some fairly high quality stuff.

Suspect they'll be seeing even more business than usual, particularly from my brother and I.

Watching the rain falling down outside and listening to my wind and wondering if it will get worse or knock the power out. Especially since our neighborhood has a bad habit of losing power when its bad out.

Guess you survived the storm - it was pretty bad here, too.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Apr 16, 2020 5:16 am

Yes we did actually and I am happy to report we didn't lose any power. Yay!

Yeah, it was a lovely little snow - pretty much melted off now.

We've had two full-on blizzards in the last two weeks

But then, Winnipeg will be Winnipeg

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Apr 16, 2020 5:02 pm

We are supposedly going to get a rain/snow mix on Saturday, but ever single time it was supposed to snow in the winter the snow moved away so I'm doubtful.

Of course, it would be just like it if the state ended up getting hit IN SPRING.

The nice thing about living in a place that's known for bad weather is how you won't ever really be caught unprepared.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Thu Apr 16, 2020 6:35 pm

Well, no place to go, so no need to shovel, eh?

Vertigo Fox · Post by **Vertigo Fox** » Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:35 pm

...I live on the second floor of a condo complex with no yard

It's nice to not shovel but on the minus side I used to love mowing my mom and dad's lawn. We had a very quiet electric mower so it was nice to get out in the sun and just spend half an hour with my thoughts.
But on the plus side again I have the sweetest cat in the world and I definitely couldn't have had him in that house.

Now I've completely lost my train of thought but it made me happy so whatever.

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Fri Apr 17, 2020 9:57 am

Mowing the lawn because it’s supposed to rain tomorrow.

Being glad that Lent is over so I can eat meat (read: Burger King) on Fridays.

^ I love Burger King, I wish I could have it more often but the nearest one is a half-hour away.

oh, I understand - mowing was one those wonderfully mindless chores that did as a child. And I still miss my cat, gone over two years now.......

Wish it was mindless for me and I wouldn't care but I am leaving the house I grew up in because we can't afford it anymore.

Trying to work on my projects and tend to my family.

Funny ... in the last couple of months I lived in the North Carolina house, all kinds of minor activities took on a kind of "... for the last time" quality. For example, I never cared for trimming the azaleas. For ten days a year, azaleas are gorgeous, then the flowers turn a nasty brown and azaleas look trashy as a dung-spattered wall for ten more days. Then, for the rest of the year, they're just a bush. Yet, the last time I cut them, I felt a certain sense of loss. Back last August when I had to come back to the house to survey wind storm damage, I was wandering through the weedy backyard. I happened upon a dog toy, a small rubber sheep, lost in the grass. It belonged to our border collie, Smiley, died ten years ago. When he was young, he took his sheep everywhere, trying to get us to throw it for him. Then he discovered frisbees and eventually forgot it. Since the sheep was a squeaker and Smiley delighted in its capacity to annoy us with its squeal, we weren't displeased by the trade off and never bothered to look for the outgrown toy, maybe mentioning it once or twice in passing.

Now here it was, this old artifact from times when - when our animals were different, when the kids were younger, when I was (a lot) younger, and it conjured up an odd brew of amusement, comfort, and sadness. So I kept it. I figured I was leaving our home of a quarter of a century. We'd had to part with so much in order to make the move. The new owners could have the shrubbery; I'm keeping my old dog's puppy toy.

So, again, I kinda understand, Amazz. Life's full of transitions as we're all relearning, thanks to this "plague". I hope before long you'll be happy in your new digs even though that sense of loss never quite goes away. And I hope life gives you a few of those comforting little "discoveries" to make those losses just a little less.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Apr 18, 2020 3:47 pm

Yeah well about the new house. We MIGHT not be getting it after all as my mother said that the people who live in it currently haven't found a new house yet so it looks like it might be back to the drawing board.

Cutting the grass, then going for a walk.

JamesTCat · Post by **JamesTCat** » Wed Apr 22, 2020 9:21 pm

Going to work on my fanfiction until the forums get their topic page selector feature is back up, give or take a week when it happens.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Apr 23, 2020 2:21 am

I just hope that the forum gets completely fixed soon.

Phonecalls with old friends - in fact, we're all old.

Wish that I had some friends to call while all of this was happening. Oh well.

When my cousin's baby daughter is baptized, I'm the only one that is allowed to be there so that is a bit depressing. I can only be there because I'm gonna be the godmother.

Tell your cousin I said congrats!
It's inspiring that even a pandemic will not get in the way of their love.

Anyways, I'm about to play a new video game I got-Call of Duty 3!

Thanks, guys.

You’ll make an awesome godmother, Dayzee.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Apr 24, 2020 9:21 pm

I just have to hope nothing happens to them because I doubt I will be able to raise a child.
