was so badass. I've yet to see an

who was so fun to read about and yet who I wanted to die every single chapter he was in.

Fixed.

I actually thought

had the right idea about how to run society in a

world, if you made it much less draconian and war-based. Everybody had a job, and as it was noted, the power was back on far before winter. Course, you'd have to cut out the

stuff, but cut out that and

is right.

But that isn't what we are supposed to be discussing, as epic as The Stand is.

Blizzard is managed by dark sorcerers, and probably have enough money to bail-out the federal government.

Well, one last thing about Tha Stand: it also had the best deus ex machina, literally, I've ever seen. I mean,

is pretty hardcore in Desperation, but in The Stand he's all  :o .

Stephen King's pretty good, is all.  ;D

I don't have my tablet with me, so I can't draw anything now, but I want to try my hand on Quarantine.

Yup, in all its doorstopping glory

I couldn't help but want more

. Then I picked up the Dark Tower series. And lo and behold, there he is again.

ANYWAY we should stop talking about The Stand before this thread gets extremely derailed. Although I should have guessed you were a Stephen King fan from your RTD. :D

Blaze and The Running Man are fucking great. It was another door-stopper, but it seemed to move more quickly than The Stand.

But back on topic.

It's still a fucking badass story. I got bored at school yesterday and drew up the containment room he was in, but alas, I have no means to upload it at the moment.

Story's looking good so far.

Also, here you go. Is it bizarre enough?

I have no idea how the hell it ended up like this. I was mucking around in photoshop with paintbrushes and paintbuckets. I can't reproduce something like this, because I don't know how it ended up like this.

Once tried to conquer Earth, and succeeded! Too bad it got really, really boring, really, really fast.

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.
