An old pic that Remmy drew for me. It's appropriate given my current circumstances.

Heyo,

This update really should have happened last month. I apologize everyone, my life got flipped, turned upsidedown and I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there to tell you all about how I... oops, but yah, been stupid busy. More on that in a moment.

Site business. I have a long overdue plug of Cow's new site, featuring stories and art!. Second note of business is posting Sketch's work which should have been posted in November (and my bad on the name mix up, took someone pointing me in the right direction to get it correct). Sketch is a very appropriate name since the work is gritty and a very interesting style.

In terms of new material. We've got some stories this week from Rich1, Long_Rifle, Cow, and Nintega. I'm also working on a few myself which you can find on the forum, but progress is slow with my current busy goings ons. We have some new art from Carotte, Sketch, Lil' Rob, Hyro, Geo G.D. and ND.

Finally, as noted in the last few updates and from this thread started last June. I will eventually be stepping down from FTT. As I write this update, I am burried between piles of boxes. I'm gathering up my four years of amassed crap in Japan and moving back stateside for the next stage of my life. Unfortunately, my smooth transition hasn't been anything but, and I have to do a bit of traveling this Friday (also mah birthday, blah...) and need to have everything shipped back stateside before I leave. Soo... that's the delay. I'm taking a break tonight, renting a truck tomorrow, and putting my stuff in a Connex box to be shipped back to the states. Hurray... hope my white PS3 survives...

Heyo,

I'd like to wish an early Merry Christmas and happy holidays. If your tired of it, or think its too early to say it, tough titties. I'm one of those Christmas nuts. I've got my santa hat on (cocked to one side) and a shuffle of a hundred Christmas songs playing. I'm also working in the dim glow of 300 red and white lights... soooo, hell yah... Christmas is coming, even if I have to carry it myself.

Alcoholess merrymaking aside, this week has sort of been a mess of work both home and at the office. Sooo... if I had a tape loop of the 'I'm sorry, sooo sorry' song, I'd probably play that in remix with the Christmas crap while you're reading this update. One thing I can say is that out of this whole mess I can happily present one of hell of an update. New art, new comic pages, and a whole story archive (with 32 stories) to add today.

First and foremost, the Long Rifle Archive is open for business. All 32 of his stories that have been published on the net have been gathered in one place and summarized and forwarded by the author himself. Get to reading! Also this week we have new art from Geo GD, Dr. Gonzo, Baby Bobby Fox, Lil_Rob, ND, Rattle Tat Tat. Geo GD also brings us another comic page to his 'Angelic Distress' comic. Dr. Gonzo sent an image blitz showcasing his improvement in coloring and style. Baby Bobby Fox is relatively new to posting and shows off his furry work, Lil' Rob has some K-Girl pics, Normal Deviant sent an adorable pic, and Rattle Tat Tat sent his very awesome stylized art, including an art trade with Carotte.

Other things of note... Kuzzyhas been given a gallery. Baby Bobby Fox has been given a gallery. Dr. Gonzo's gallery has been updated to reflect recent work. Geo G.D.'s comic has been given a comic gallery. The link to JD's Comic has been fixed. Phew... and that's why things took so long :P.

Heyo, wanted to throw a big thanks out there to Dreyer for helping with the website while I was traveling. You're awesome, and you're awesome (double true). I'm already a day late on my return... but that being said, it is good to be back. I've been a bit busy re-adjusting to home and video games. Quick plug, played the crap out of DragonAge, for plot and ability to shape the story, haven't seen better. I'm an old school plot critic, and while its completely predictable in some places, the freedom to shape it is awesome. Video games aside, doing good! The site is still chugging along, and there's a good amount of art to post this week.

This week Normal Deviant has two pics (one above) and another of Link and Aryll. Kuzzy has sent three new pics, promising up and coming artist right there. Lil' Rob has five pics, including two of his adorable character Petuniam. And finally Geo G.D. has three pics and the first two pages of a new comic 'Angelic Distress.' For stories, Miles Prower has the next two chapters to the story D.A.

Thanksgiving is almost here, and then its Christmas and New years right after that. This is pretty much my favorite time of the year. Work slows down, people get in cheerful moods. Holiday spirit and all that. Look for some surprises in coming weeks here =D.

PS: I owe Kuzzy a gallery, and if there are more pages to follow with Geo G.D.'s comic, he'll get one for it too.
