Yes, I am alive! I finished my second essay, turned both in. I'm working on an infographic and just about to finish it up. I took three film tests today and yesterday but that class should be done with by now. I have a final next week, I'm finishing up a case study that's due tomorrow night but thankfully I have a competent gaggle of strong awesome women helping out. I have a counselor appointment tomorrow morning, need to do some extra credit this weekend and finish a few journal entries on some reports but other than all that...I should be done with this semester by the middle of next week. Phew! And just in time for the next wave of classes, two of which require my presence on campus this go around... But anyway I have a lull and wanted to come back on and start this thing! (Fire Emblem Fates is also posing a distraction...I have no self control) So I will finish up my own characters, add some quests and we can get this show on the road! [@Frenetic Raptor] Your CS looks fantastic as usual. :3 You're totally free to post in the CS tab. Let's hope my guy and your gal don't end up getting too competitive with cooking! [@Darcs] Your sample (thanks for including it btw) is good though the choppy/small paragraphs is something I try to have people steer away from, mostly cause it can read somewhat cluttered or jittery. So your writing looks good but try not to give so many snippets if you can help it. :3 But anyway, your CS also looks good to go so def drop it off in the CS bin! EDIT - Oh wait, you need to change her from 23 to 22 since it seems that was the pattern developed naturally. She can be out of school if you want but everyone is assumed to be about to graduate from college.
