I confess

[Kittyboymuffin]

I confess that I'm pondering (either fictionally or as a "joke religion") the Church of the Plot, a belief system which posits that the world runs according to narrative. Naturally, it promptly split into myriad sects owing to disagreements about what genre it is -- comedy, tragety, porn, political allegory, parody, etc. -- and the last two bring up the question of what it's a parody/allegory of.

I confess I am relieved I only woke up with an inguinal hernia and not a testicular torsion

I had a testicular torsion that lasted about four or five hours when I was ten. I popped a boner when the female tech rubbed on the gel for the ultrasound. That was mildly embarrassing. Everythings cool now, though.

I confess that as impractical as it might be, I really do want to run Ghastly's Ghastly Mansion of Polyamory.

Neil Gaiman's 1602 had a similar idea, in which how the Marvel Comics universe runs. I forget exactly what Reed Richard's called it, something like 'The Law of Stories.' It comes up during a conversation between him and The Thing, when asked if Reed can use his science to change him back to normal. Reed said most likely he could, but somehow he'd probably change back to rock again just because he's more interesting that way, as that was how the universe worked: it made a more interesting story, hence the Law of Stories.

Well, I partly got the idea from the Discworld books, where the characters know that the world "runs on stories" and stuff, and have inferred the existence of an element called "Narrativium"

I confess that I just watched the entire first season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles just because Summer Glau was in it.

Hmm ... I confess that I have an idea for a comedic/hentai gender-bender webcomic (possible plotlines include the threat of a cute/shy girl becoming more popular than the main characters, so they decide to make her more confident). Curse you, lack of ability to draw, time, and energy ... ``

Like that ever stopped anyone from doing a webcomic.

I confess that I'm actually seriously thinking about starting to make a webcomic. I even ran through two of the lead characters through the Mary Sue litmus test. Scored 18 and 8 respectively, with the first one dropping if I learn to take things a bit less seriously by the time I start doing it, and if I had added that he stays pretty much out of shape physicaly through the comic.

The comic would be a slice-of-life comic like Questionable Content (which is maybe my no.1 inspiration right now), with no fantastic elements. It would be about a group of friends that are brought together, by similar taste in music and movies at one point, but largely due to all of their involvement in graffiti. I have some plot lines thought out, and I've planned it to be a story with an end. I still need to make a good antagonist force and create some sort of crisis to build momentum before the finale. Oh, and come up with jokes for every strip.

And learn to draw with a consistent style.

And to pick the right colours and effects.

And get a site and domain.

And bother actually updating the comic.

But half way there.

Oh come now, you must give a link or something...Where is the rest?

I confess, my job is killing me now. 13 hour days, 6 days a week. Hardly any time to play City of Heroes. On the good side, I'll be in Portland for the rose festival next month I think it is. Lots of flashing tit-tahs. Whats a sailor to do but get drunk and have some fun?

The only downside to that webcomic is the horrific spelling and grammar. But they draw well.

the chick that does the writing is french(kata)
I can't tell if the artist is a guy or girl, many web comic artists have pony tails...

they've got two proof readers now so its much better

Would be nice to meet up.

The simple confession - I'm propably going to England for a year in August.

The hard one, that took a lot of working up to, and so far, you're all the only ones - other than The Girlfriend, of course - who I've told this yet -

I confess I'm quite propably getting married while I'm there.

Seriously, Churba getting married, wtf!

[Lulujayne]

Huge great lumps of congratulations, with large clanging bells on to you Churba!
