Protagonize
Jun 18th
This is Zamic here, just here for a real quick announcement. I mentioned in a post a little while back that I had been working on a story, and I have mentioned a few times that the two major things I am focusing on this summer is my drawing and my writing, both story-wise and in here. Today, I took it upon myself to find a place that I could put some of this writing out onto the interwebs, and I ended up deciding on a site called Protagonize. Writing sharing sites don’t seem to be as popular as art sharing sites, probably because it is easier to fake someone else’s work as your own. Anyway I made an account on there, and just posted essentially the first “chapter” of what I have been working on. If you are in the least bit interested in my other writing, or are just bored, go check it out. And keep checking back, as long as the link is there in the sidebar, I am probably still posting. Just wanted to let you all know, oh and make sure to check out Ulaaran and my latest posts here on FranticGorilla, we sort of had a surge of them. This is Nick signing off.
So…

Been pretty slow round here lately. Sorry for the lack of posts…Not much really to write about. After doing that post about the Mass Effect Movie been playing ALOT of Mass Effect. New DLC coming out for it tommor…well today and been trying to finish a play-through before it came out. What can I say I’m a fanboy. Can’t really say that about any other series. I am not the sort of fan boy that clings to the game saying it’s perfect, it’s got it’s flaws just like any other game, but if you say that it is flat out fecal matter, you may need to prepare yourself for a fight good sir.
*Cough* Anyway, I’ve also been working on a story lately, so that’s also been consuming a lot of time. Yeah yeah I know it’s a cliche’ that the artsy kid in high school writes stories. Sue me. It’s not romantic stuff or anything so you can’t pull the “Oh you’re so emo” card on me, actually some of it is kind of adult. Not that kind of adult you pervert. Well there is a succubus but that’s not the point. I mean it’s kind of adult in it’s general theme and violence, yes there is a little bit of sexual stuff thrown in (how could you not have that if there is a damn succubus?), but it is hardly even there, and it’s not even close to the “Hubba hubba” sort of thing. To be honest been influenced by Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden series quite a bit. If you haven’t heard of it, get the first book Storm Front, if you like magic, mystery, and down on their luck detectives set in Chicago, it is your kind of book. To wet your appetite here is the first episode of the TV series, that was unfortunately cancelled after one season. Damn it SciFi channel. And no I’m not being paid to advertise here, it’s just a really good series.

Anyway now that I am done defending myself against your invisible attacks my oh so critical readers, I would like to again apologize for the lack of content. Ulaaran was dragged along to Sacremento for four days so hopefully you’ll be hearing from him. If he doesn’t decide to, well, you might just end up having to hear from your good old pal Zamic again. Haven’t been drawing lately so here’s another old one, and this time it’s a really old one. Night folks!

Three More Days
Jun 2nd
Three more days till summer, who would have guessed? I’m sorry but this article will probably be directed for teenagers about my age, to any older readers out there, hell use it as some nostalgia time or even just a look into what school is like for kids these days, or at least this kid these days. Three more days till freedom is more how I like to word it. Three more days till I get a break from what really isn’t school but is more of an endurance test. As someone who’s idea of living is drawing, writing, thinking, summer is like salvation. During the school year, especially this last one, not only do I not have time but it literally burns out my brain, making any creativity drain out of my ears. So I suppose you could compare my reaction to summer as that of a phoenix. Just as the last bit of my soul dies from finals, after a week of lying in bed I will emerge with much more energy and creative juices. So my summer will most likely be full of drawing, painting, writing so on and so forth, which I will hopefully share with you my ghost audience. By the way when I say writing I mean things like this or creative writing such as stories. Maybe I’ll do some short stories my long ones have never really quite worked out.
So three days. Three days. Be ready.
For my drawing for this post its just an old one, clearly haven’t had time to draw. Hopefully by next time I shall have a brand new one for you all to oogle at. That is sarcasm btw.
