Don't.

I really don't respond well to that kind of thing, ask Gryph. It actually is one of the best ways to ruin my drive to work on something.

I *had* ideas for them at some point, but I lost my handle on them. I haven't forgotten about them, and I want them done as much as anyone else. Hell, I was the one who poked Gryph periodically all those years HL was dormant, because I didn't want to stop working in it.

Unfortunately I'm not as good a writer as Gryph, and with me I either have the mojo or I don't. If I try to make myself write something when I don't have a good handle, it comes out really quite horrid. Ask Gryph about that UF Exile story I wrote the summer I was trapped in France. I'd post what I did to show how bad it was, except I made sure to delete all copies of it to make sure I never continued it. I basically ended up ripping off The Crow and doing a hideous job of it too.

I've been jealous of Gryph's writing skills for years.

Usually the latter. We do a lot of plotting, but the actual creation is willy-nilly, which is one of the reasons it takes so long.

I dunno, I don't like the SNK art style much. Overall, I think the notion's a bit silly, and wasteful of artistic bandwidth that could be put to use drawing something less silly. With freehand art ability at such a premium in EPU, I'm loath to blow it on stuff like animated icons when there's so much character art I'd rather see.

Fair 'nuf. I was thinking of it as a fanart exercise, not something you'd assign to somebody (besides, you've already said you don't really have anyone on board who'd be good at that sort of thing). And, yes, it'd be silly, but as you may have guessed from my favorite bits of your stories, I like silly. \n_n/ Since you brought it up, though: who would you like to see illustrated? Maybe the fanartists in the audience will oblige...

I've toyed around with a few different notions for [stage music ...] I never ran across anything I thought was appropriate enough to bother with.

Fair 'nuf.

There is, however, a picture of the RL model for my stage background:

Oooh. Spiffy.

--Zenigame, who could have sworn he's actually seen a Gryphon character sheet... is he imagining this, or did you have one up at one time?

I don't think so. Not on the website, certainly. I might have inadvertently posted one to raa.creative in a fit of... something... but if I did I've forgotten. On the whole I doubt it, since the copy I have lying in my archive has never actually been finished.
