It would have been fine if I hadn't used gray roadplates as the backdrop. It
worked fine for my non-castle MOC's of late, but for this it just distracted
from the 'set' as it were... I wish I could find better forest pictures,
though. I'm presently limited to wallpapers I find on the 'net but none are
'perfect'. Growing up in the Seattle area, the forest as I see it in my mind
is a dense evergreen forest with thick undergrowth - just like where I lived
(we had 5 acres - about 4 of that was evergreens with some Alder thrown in,
and just a massive tangle of ferns and other undergrowth. Awesome place to
grow up!!). I need to dig out pictures of our camping/backpacking trips from
growing up, I may find better backgrounds there... :)

Yeah; initially I wanted to keep from having to scroll down each page, but
having 10 pages was a waste of my webspace as well as an HTML nightmare,
trying to keep all the links straight. Thank God my editor has a 'check for
broken links' feature...!

Hehe.. some things will be answered. Some won't. This is really more of an
introduction story to some of the goings on in "my world" and to let these
characters get some lime light; they were pretty happy with how they turned
out (They kept yelling at me when I'd put the wrong gloves on them, or the
wrong torso.."No no! This one goes here, that one goes here!" <G>)
And I'm glad someone is getting a grip... Jedrik and Cromar just keep
looking at me and shaking their heads and sighing deeply in frustration or
dumbfounded amazement at what I keep putting them through.. :)
