I am so freaking sick and tired of the way kid's cartoon stations are being currently run, with mostly subpar cartoons and annoying non-animated shows on cartoon stations .

It really bothers me that a lot of kids nowadays are going to be unaware of good cartoons like the following: Danny Phantom, Fairly Oddparents, Spongebob Squarepants, Invader Zim, (The first few seasons, at least), Samurai Jack, Megas XLR, Ben 10, Batman Beyond...

But at least we still have Phineas and Ferb, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Generator Rex...

Er... sorry for ranting, it's just that this is a major pet peeve of mine, especially since not all of these shows are on DVD, and the ones that are cost so freaking much ...

*running away from the dragon* OH GOD! Not the (hic) shparkley vampiresh! I want the Shunflowersh back, even the pukey onesh! All I wanted was shome Purple Stuff.

Hey, why doesn't thish dragon want to eat you too? Look dragon- there's a cow, big cow, tasty cow- much tastier than silly humansh with bad diiiiieeeeeeet! *runs towards random, grazing cattle, unfortunately they're about four fields away*

IIII neeeed aaa poooortaaal!

Why ish everything croshed out?
Where are we?
Why ish that dragon about to eat you?
What the hell ish Edward Cullen doing here?!?

From what (little) I know, I'd say Elemarth is bang on the money. It helps to go the small-press route; plenty of independent publishers put out anthologies all the time, and they're always looking for contributors. A few publication credits in small journals will help build up her cred a little, and make an agent more likely to look at her query letter. Best to make sure they don't get exclusive printing rights for X years, though, and make sure she retains the right to anthologize them.

And for the love of God, tell her to avoid vanity publishers. Self-publishing is one thing, if she wants to just have a few printed for her friends and family, but outfits like PublishAmerica are absolute poison.

Oops, forgot about the line through! Err... hope it's not too difficult to read....

Oh bugger...

Really, I fought it wash kind of going shide to shide... rock-a-bye BAby on A TREEtop! *is hit over the head for making an appaling racket* Shorry...

Let me just get my- oh. Shilikat, the Shunflowers are back...

And I have some friends from the DIA who have come to help me put you back where you belong

Nooo! *makes a desperate grab for her Remote Activator. Pushes random buttons in a panic and the blue, swirling portal appears. Grabs Silikat and rolls them through, and manages to close the portal behind them.* Erm... shoooooo, where are we?

I remember venturing into that fandom. And then backing out at high speed. Jesus, how many lost sisters/lovers of Jax does SAMCRO need?

I would be tempted to vote for Clan of the Cactus too, but I'm not sure that would fly in SAMCRO land. So my money's on a Pratchett reference--the Silver Horde. There's already a real MC called the Mongols, and that's not so far off.

At any rate, I do think you could have some fun with the patches. Not just the main colors, but the upper and lower rocker and the other patches that tend to turn up on the colors--like how normal MCs may have the skull patch to show a member who's killed for the club, the PPC patches could start normal and get increasingly bizarre. Maybe a syringe for surviving FicPsych? XD

No Purple Stuff...damn.

*joins you on floor* Na, the ceiling's still shpinning. Pretty spinning...

We must do this! Open a *hic* Portal, Makayla, I'm goin' in!
Not so fast. drunkards.

I added a couple of questions about the corrections I attempted into the corrections.

I didn't have internet yesterday, so I didn't see this. Dunno if anyone will be on to read this, but I will have on a jean jacket. I've also got a braid and glasses. See you all soon!

No, no, not good... I'm not feeling sho good- hair of the dog ish not a good idea. Nothing is good, it's all bad, bad, bad. Damn it! You got any Purple shtuff?

I not sure- oh, rhyming... hmm, the world doesn't shpin sho bad from down here. You should try it.

We need to raid the Potter-verse! Felix and Purple Stuff! They could be ours!

HANGOVER! WOOO! ...oh wait, that's not a good thing.

You on floor? Why you on floor?

Liquid Luck? Felix...wish I had some of that. *sob*

to mission five.

My cell phone number (on the off chance it's needed) is (206) 437, the RC number for the Dept. of Angst minus 10, and then the RC number for Agent Chryse plus 1. Please don't post the number in its entirety here, I don't want to get telemarketed to death. A few minutes on the Wiki should give it to you.

I'll be the tall chick with an octopus on her back. I don't think anyone can really miss me... >.>

Actually, the character (Nifar Corvus, better known as Surge to the 'runner community)has apparently gained enough of a real-world reputation in the Shadowrun gaming community that he's been referenced once or twice in a few of the books.

Like I said, the way Shadowrun's canon works is kind of odd. All something really needs to become canon is for the creators to like it enough to write it in.

Of course, given the fact that I've effectively killed him off as far as the Shadowrun universe is concerned, it occurs to me that there should be no problem.

I have PPC stories dating as far back as february 2006 on FFnet.

The thing about getting removed is that A) someone has to report you; and B) someone from FFnet has to make time to slough through the pile of abuse reports and act on the report.

I don't think the staff of FFnet matches up to the size of the site, and fic with a G rating with MA content takes precedence in getting deleted. Or maybe that report just came in at a lucky concidence that someone had time to read it.

Shomething... something... it'sh on the tip of my tongue I'm sure... hang...hangman? Hangar? Hang...over! Hangover!
...oh crap.

Really not. Fankfully they sheem to 'ave run away! *does runnign motions with her fingers and manages to over balance herself) Oof! Oh, I'm lying down...

Shame thish ishn't Liquid Luck! *takes another swig* damn, why'sh it got to be sho hard to find anything round 'ere?

Especially if it just automatically used their flash patches, and they were so used to them that they didn't consider the likely reaction to something like a rubber swiss army knife, or upside down rubber duckie.

1. Yes sometimes they do. There was one posted in June about an agent that went home for a visit.
   
   4. An arm band. My agent that wears only a kilt with no shirt uses an armband flash patch. Or a panda could use a collar style necklace flash patch, I suppose.

It still looks more real than that cartoon with the camp full of creatures that might be beans. I'm not sure what the name of that one is, but it is gross and the animation seriously annoys me. That style of animation is something I hate beyond reason.

I might be a little late. I have a tendency to get really terribly lost, even in places I know well. But, come wrong turns or misjudged distances, I will be there.

My RL name is Helen and i have very curly brown hair and red glasses. Look forward to seeing you all!

I always had trouble mixing the vocals with the backing track. I never seem to manage it well. I always manage to put the vocals off by half a second or something so the timing always seemed off. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have backing tracks, but I do have a copy of Ableton Live - useful post-recording software with compressors, EQs, and other useful tools to make a recording into music. If you want to toss recordings at me (preferably separate from the backing track), I can probably manage to clean them up a bit.
