Am trying to find a way to make the plot last longer, as people are engaged in mortal combat. (Which is not a healthy pastime.)

I may start a different genre at the end of this one, any views on this?

In fact, Lord G. Squeaker is not telling the whole truth about Gollum and my Doomsday Device. Indeed, Gollum stole the bulk of it, but that is easy for me to replace. The only clever part is the triggering device, which I stored someplace else (which I don't remember presently, but just wait until I do...!)
since it is very difficult to trigger the device in a safe way for the user.
So Gollum took it to his secret hiding place in the Dark Tower, and tried to experiment with it. I would show you how it looks like now if only I could remember how to upload a .jpg image.

The character I got my member name from was a very unselfconscious, thick-skinned fellow so I would like to literally thick-skinned; impervious to bullets,arrows. I could be a secret weapon.. hint, hint.

He, he!

While helping ravenwing with her avatar, Gollum himself reminded me how to upload an image.
So this

is what his Dark Tower looks like, after he tried to experiment with my IDoomsday Device :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

And here you can see me galumphing in front of the ruin of the traitor (what's his name, again?) who tried to doublecross me, the great Evil Emperor!

Is this too large? I put one directly, and one as a link in order not to have too big a post. But apparently it is alrge enough to keep my bananas from dancing!

If you have a large image the link method you used is best.

It is very endearing to see this topic take off. I apologise for the slowness of the stories updates, but I find myself increasingly busy nowadays.

Your stories are very good. Quite entertaining. I wouldn't mind being in it.

Either, odd.

P.S. Oddball, you may have to wait a while, as my spare time is the only time I can devote to drafting, and I dont have near enough of it as I should like. I would be correct in guessing that you are female? If not I will correct later. I'll try to make you as different from "the mad kiwi" as possible. I'll write you in now.

Bit of a shorty on eighteen, but after Ep. nineteen I'm gonna take another break. (I kind of rushed into an ending)

Thank you, I have few few other stories that arent related in anyway to these, but I think it would drive me nuts sitting and writing them all out again. (I write them in journals)

Glad you enjoyed.

(I have ammended a few inconsistencies since, mostly Umsolopagas an Susans accents, I forgot to "Do ze right zink.")
