That is the perfect mood to get into hahaha. I know exactly what kind of a thing you're going through now. I'm getting very much focused on this myself. Collecting and observing things that will help me along the way.

Yeah, I'm a little freaked out about it actually. I'm looking forward to going to work, so I can get away from these demented thoughts and make jokes with my colleagues.

gimme the anime links.

Also, cawk joke.

Now you're saved. Praise the lord.

I like reading this sort of shit, but watching it is a whole other thing. Thanks for making me bring up these links again >:(

But the cawk joke did bring me back to normality a little bit. But I'm gonna start writing a bit more again now, so I'll be off grinding my head with a cheese grater until there's nothing left. Seriously, all this creative violence and sadistic thoughts are fucking with my head pretty bad.

*shudders*
I don't like horror stories
also that is very unaustralian!
pff.... celebrating an american tradition, the nerve....
what's next, giving females jobs!?

I'm doing it for the money. If one of my stories and Lochie or Whirlguy's animations win a halloween day prize for being "really scary", the money's going to be real good.

I'd like a few comedy points in my story if you could, like with the example you gave.
"Oh no, I can't escape, the door's locked!" "It's okay, that means the zombies can't get in and eat us"
Then the camera pans across and the zombies are behind them.
:D

Lol yeah. I'll probably get a basic plot down and spool off random funny shit in there so that people are like "wtf this is weird funny" and then it'll be like messin with your head yo, and everyone will be like "fuck, that shit is real nasty".

Hehehe sorry to make your head all messed up D:

'Tis okay. I'm not used to these levels of mindfuck, especially in the video medium. Usually horror on screen is a no-go for me. But literature is a whole different story. You can get more thoughts and abstract details in the story, leaving the visuals up to the imagination of the reader. Well, that's what I think anyway. I'm usually a very cushy person, friendly, easy to get along with, relatively agreeable, makes good jokes, there's only the occasional bouts of flamboyant freakishness and insincere nasty comments which takes a few moments of anxious argument before I convince the person I made the comments to that I was joking. My latest game involves people feeling way more self-conscious about themselves when they're around me. Such as one person usually has her name tag around the wrong way, and I used to catch her out on it every single time. Now it's an instinctive thing that whenever I'm around she has to check regardless if I say anything, even though she has another name tag right below it that's the right way around. And another person got annoyed how I was always watching her work (I was bored, and I occasionally glanced over to make sure she was still working, nothing creepy) but now I've taken to staring at her ALL THE TIME. It's funny because she gets hell pissed off, and then she tells everyone that I'm being mean to her and they're all like "no way, he's always nice" and I'm like *evil grin*. Besides, no one would believe her because she's annoying. Stab.
But what's messing my head most is just trying to come up with a plot and using my imagination to conceive plots of murder and torture and the like. I've just been stopping and looking at myself lately and thinking, "what the fuck am I doing having these thoughts running through my head", like I could somehow get in the mind frame of the people who are safely locked away in maximum security prisons.

Hmmn yeah, okay. Let's see if I can help you out a little.
1. Think of specific dark area where this story plays off like a basement, atic, forest, library etc.
2. Think of a main character, what is his state and why is he there?
3. Think of evil beings, and what their intentions are.
4. Think of equipment that's capable of killing people in horific ways. Like hammers, axes, chainsaws, etc.

I like to have the protagonist develop throughout my stories. For instance ep 1 (lochie's) he's defensive and good, whereas ep 2 (you) he's aggressive. Got my locations, got my characters, got my evil beings, ep 1-robot toys, as lame as it sounds, I swear it's gonna be good, and ep 2- main char and the hallucinations he sees. Weapons, unsure of what I'll do in the first part. I could probably have radial arm saws, maybe a furnace, I'll use my surroundings, and ep 2 will be scalpels, maybe surgical drills, I don't know, I'll do some research >:D

Hmmn, I think I'll need to do some research myself. Sometimes I need to animate an object but I don't know what it looks like. It's not that big of a problem when you decide it doesn't have to be detailed, but that's not the case. And I don't think I have much knowledge when it comes to surgical instruments.
I think there'll be some syringes and scalpels, though they don't seem all too deadly. It would be cool if the protagonist would create some huge gushing wounds but it would also be fine if he just wacked with the instruments >:3

I've got a great idea for a scene where he kills his loved ones. I'm thinking he could feed someone his pills and cause them to overdose and go into spasms and seizures, frothing at the mouth. Anything that I'll use as a weapon, I'll research first and pass the links on to you. I'm thinking there could be a scene where he breaks into a supply closet and steals a ton of stuff from the stash.
Nice clown pic, too. Will start the whole thing tonight, if I don't fall asleep. I'm so damn tired from a long day at work, got another long day tomorrow, tues and wed, but I'll work something out. Also, alcohol helps a bit. ;D

Alcohol helps you being a maniac? Haha XD
I can't wait untill you finish it =D

Alchohol certainly helped me relax and think a bit clearer (felt like shit when I came home). Didn't make me any better at Mario Kart Wii though. XD

horror scares me ><

lol

Oh my I'm so excited about the story you're writing! Also I've been looking for inspiration for the scenery and stumbled across this.
<a href="http://www.mountainsanatorium.net/stories.htm">http://www.mountainsanatorium.net/sto ries.htm</a>
I was going to use all of these pictures as inspiration but after reading some stories I barely dare looking at them haha XD

Yeah, I'm excited too. Out of sheer luck I've found myself with a day off work today, so I can continue on from the two paragraphs I started on last night. What do you think of the titles I've got now?
The Delusion Duology as a name for the series, as there's lots of moments of uncertainty and... uh, delusion.
I kept Lochie's title the same, just because I think it has a bit of a faux innocence sound to it, and I think "A Surgeon's Lament" would work for your part because when he saves the main character, it's like he's piecing together a monster, and I'll work the surgeon into the tale.

Writers cock

Hmm, that sounds a bit like Writers block. Interesting...

You ruined the fun part >: l

What fun part?

Oh noez, maybe you DID ruin the fun part.
Nah...
People have no idea what to expect, and I'll make them shit their pants with my animation ;)

I hope you will let me start soon :3

Yeah, I don't think I'll update this blog until it's done. Ive got tonight and tomorrow night as well as all day thursday and friday to write, so hopefully by the end of the week it might be done.

I was hoping it could be earlier, I'm so excited about the story I lie awake of it at night XD

lol awesome.

"Lochie's part has some over the top tension builders, some Lochie style cliche jokes that overall will hopefully work as a good builder of tension, so that you're expectimg more jokes when BAM! Shit your pants" - Best Quote EVER!

I'm loving the story so far, this is great fun. :D

Lol, I know it's going to be true, I can just feel it in my sphincter.

I've been strolling through the collections in the serious flash section. Most of the flashes that were usefull to watch were flashes I already knew, but weren't all as scary as my flash is supposed to become. The cause of that were their soundtracks and soundeffects, so I'll pay extra focus to that :3

Cool. Don't forget the plot ;D

Congrats on modship

thx man.

Oy I started animating O:
