Be forewarned it might turn into a CG experiment... All my CG projects seem to.... *shrug*

I have to remember how I drew the other Boys... I think I drew them all together like once... When I was bored during job training....

CG is computer graphics....

Basically a bunch of random material usage/background implications.. .

Kind of like the one I posted asking for help... All the textures and brushes and things I used...

I have more questions for you lol I as going to ask last night, but then forgot all about it.

Since you aren't quite finished with this story yet, do you know exactly where it's heading or do you find yourself changing your mind as you go along?

Do you let your readers influence your decisions as you write? Do you get any reader input....for instance they might say I want this to happen, or can you write me into your story? lol

Do you think you'll be writing a sequel to this one?

Awww, it's alright. I amused myself by being bored. :D

Yup, I've known basically how it would end since I started it, I think I changed it once... But that's the end it's heading towards now. Anhy avid readers will now think I'm a sadist. :D

No, I don't let them influence what I write mainly for the fact that no one tells me what they want to happen. The greatest amount of feedback I ever get is when parts of it confuse Kelly... Then I go back and clarify those parts. My readers don't really seem to care what it is I write or how fast I write it. *shrug*

Well, there are technically three parts following it, the second story in the series is suppossed to be the events prior to PBox (it's called "Pandora"), the third is the events directly after it (it's called "Pandora's Necklace", and the fourth is some time in the future (it's called "Ragnarok")...

Whether or not I actually end up writing them in a timely fashion is yet to be seen though... In the context of the story, they ouht to be there, I think... But they aren't entirely necessary... They would just round out the existence of Nick to it's complete form.

Really, I'm horribly unmotivated... I do have a fanfic I'm kind of excited to write, but it's a totally different fandom....

lol... Kelly get's easily confused... Oddly enough as much as I love to write, I am a bit dyslexic and have always struggled with reading. I still like to do it though. But come on Dee... I give you more feedback than just what confuses me.  :P I always tell you what I especially love too! And there's lots of things I especially love about this story.


ps... Did you see I left you another review tonight?   :o  I only have like 6 or 7 more chapters to go till I'm caught up.  Then I shall share all of those wonderful things I was talking about with everyone who reads this thread. ;D

Ah, yes, of course you, do which I do love. :)

But Mare asked if what readers write influences what I write. I don't really change anything because my readers never really say what they think ought to be changed. I'm hoping that means everyone who reads it thinks it's fine as is. :D

I did see it. I was talking to Rose and my email notifier popped up and was like "Absolute Chaos: You have a new Review for Pandora's Box." And I was like, I have a review? That's new. :D I'm proud of you. :)

I wish I could say I was proud of myself. I planned on finishing at least the last six chapters this month and I'm still on the chapter I was writing at the beginning of the month. :(
