Sharing Sam Related Stories/Art?

[Origami_Dragon]

The other day I wrote a short story about two of my Sams and I was thinking about posting it on the forums for others to read. But I'm not sure where something like that would go. I do think that it would be fun to share stores and art related to Sams though. So I guess I'm just looking for opinions here...

Does anyone else think it would be fun to share stores and art? If so, where would you think they would go? Here in Samanayr Discussion perhaps? Or in General Discussion? Would there be enough interest to see if Sushi would be willing to make a new Art/Story board on the forums perhaps?

Thanks for sharing any oppinions on this!

I think it would be a good idea to have a forum just for art and stories- maybe in the Hotsprings category, where the RP subforum is. ^_^ There's a lot of creative people here!

[Sushidragon]

If you guys would like one, I'd definitely be willing to set up a stories/art board I would have set one up before if I knew there was any interest!

[Origami_Dragon]

I'm not sure how much interest there is...but I'd love to see a board for stories and art! Maybe having one would encourage people to join in!

[silvermoondragon]

ooh, that would be fun to have

[Harroway]

I have some Sammy fanart and stories in my head to write down. I'd love a board where we can share our art, stories and ideas with others. Like others have said, there are a lot of creative people in the community, and we have a lot to share, I'm sure. <3

[CosmicDragon]

I know I'd be interested in doing some Sammy fanart! :O I have several pieces I've started, but never finished, and I'd love to do more work on them so I can post them up!!

[Britain]

I also think this would be an excellent excuse for Sushi to make Sam-plushies. ;D

EDIT: And us, too. *stares at Steele*

[Orasteele]

*spots the new board under Hotsprings* Hrmn... now I'm going to have to do something to contribute!

Hey Sushi, when is your brithday? I know it's in August since that's when you're planning the birthday bash... >_>

[Origami_Dragon]

*spots board* Ooh, thanks Sushi! Now...to go post that story there! And if I can get my scanner to cooperate...the picture that goes with it maybe.

Edit: Err..I would post the story except I can't find the New Topic button in there...

[Sushidragon]

Voila, the new art and writing board!

Just two rules - please keep things G-rated, and anything posted there must be done by you XD I can't wait to see what gets posted!

@Britain - Sam plushies would be awesome XD First I'm going to try making or finding a pattern to make a Ponyta for a friend, then maybe after that I'll try a Sam-plushie..

@Orasteele - My birthday's August 4th. Usually I like birthdays but I'm feeling pretty down about it this year XD;

@Origami_Dragon - Really? That's weird o_o Here's a link right to the 'new topic' button, if that works?

[Britain]

That's a good start; Ponyta will give you a good basis to plan Sams from. The wings...oh lordy, the wings will be crazy. You had a great start on you phoenix-kitty, though.

Why on earth would you be feeling down about a birthday? BIRTHDAYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. D:

[Britain]

Sushi, I can't see the button either- could be a permissions issue.

*flits home to rest her eyes* @.@

[Orasteele]

*hugs* Well hopefully we can all band together to make it an awesome one for you! <3

I was down on my birthday too, but then there was a lot of crap going on in my family life. >_>

[Origami_Dragon]

Ooh, you have the same birthday as my mom! And just four days before mine! Happy early birthday! We'll have to see if we an pick you up now.

And...I click the link and it tells me that I cannot post in the forum. Apparently I don't have posting rights... Anyone else able to post there?

[silvermoondragon]

I get the same error, "You cannot post in this forum." It probably just needs the forum permissions changed. *runs off to draw some samanayr fan art*

[Sushidragon]

Huh, for some reason the permissions were set weird XD You should be able to post now, sorry about that!

re: my birthday, I'm turning 25 this year and I'm just feeling like I'm getting older and haven't really accomplished anything XD; It's also going to be my first birthday away from my friends and family in Vancouver, so it's going to be weird. Hopefully my boyfriend won't have to be away for work on my birthday, but there is a possibility.. if that happens, I'll be all by myself XD

[Origami_Dragon]

Yay! It works now! *has posted story* Silly permissions...

Aww...well, hopefully Mr Sushi can be at home with you then. Hopefully you get calls and cards from family and friends at least, even if they can't be there in person.

[silvermoondragon]

well, we'll all be here to wish you a happy birthday

[LvSoulFriend]

I started a cross-stitch yesterday of a cat, I've got the first color done now! And I'm starting to plan a Bounty cross-stitch I'll post in in the forum when I'm done XD

[Britain]

Dude, I knew it. XDDD SUSHI. 25 is the FIRST quarter of your life! Don't think of 25 years gone- think of 75 years yet to go!

If it makes you feel better, Steele and I are 27 this year. XD

If your boyfriend can't be there, you should have a Ustream night. We'll cheer you up!

[AsaraDragon]

I'm 31, so I don't want to hear any of this "I'm getting old" nonsense! XD
I've worked in a hot dog plant for the last 10 of those years, if you want to talk about not accomplishing anything. When I was in college I had grandiose plans of being a doctor or a research scientist in a lab somewhere, working on a cure for cancer or something. And instead here I sit, day after day, listening to some big doofus whistle all day, counting down the hours until I can go home to spend a couple of hours with my family before bed, only to get up the next morning to do it all again.

And now that I've thoroughly depressed everyone...

There's much more to life than accomplishing something grand. There's family, there's friends, there's PI and adoptables, there's just enjoying where you are, no matter where it is, and doing whatever it is that you do, no matter what that is. At the very least, you have a great artistic talent, and you have all of us who enjoy it, and YOU, so cheer up, gosh darn it! Or we'll all come up there and MAKE you!
