After claiming for the better part of a year to get involved and share something I've done, I have finally can. :) While it's not really a MOC, it's the beginning of a story that provides some background and introduction to the realm I intend to (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hmm, yes, I could believe that. Although my stories usually come to me when I'm trying to think them out, a few of my big ideas came very randomly and suddenly. And my characters all came *much* before the story did! I *always* have characters (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) which is exactly what any good story wants to do. Bravo!! I enjoyed the bit about what keeps the animals away (don't want to spoil it for any who haven't read it yet). I also like how you mingled the lego with the backgrounds - it works very (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, I checked it out earlier today at school, and I think it's fantastic! Very good for your first story. I was amazed how much image-editing you did for it. I particularly liked the ones where the LEGO path connected to the "real" path, (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) My official feedback is that you should keep doing this! The story was very well done, and the combining the foreground and the background was very well done. I'm a sucker for historical myth, even if the 'history' is ficticious, and the bit (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks for the input, Michael! I'll try to keep it up.:) I just hope that the rest of my story meets with as much approval. If there's one thing I, myself, don't like - it's a story that builds up and then fizzles and goes flat. (Gibson's (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)
