farce

[summercomfort]

it seriously takes half an hour to update 3 pre-existing, pre-uploaded pages to GAM.

First I create a new temp chapter called "New Installment", and then add 3 pages to it, setting each as part of a "multipage episode"
Then I add the same 3 pages to the existing chapter, "Prologue", setting each as individual pages with last week's update day (in order to prevent multiple banner instances from clogging up the front page). These pages have to be added in reverse order (12, 11, 10), otherwise it doesn't get listed as 10-11-12
At this point, these pages will show up *before* 7,8,9 in the archive view (because I changed the date more recently), so then I go through and change 7, 8, 9's update day to one day prior.
Then I go to "edit series settings" and add a short one-liner to the series bio for this week's update.

Have I mentioned that I want to do classic assassin intrigue? Or maybe a high school romance?

Well, now that I have nothing better to do, I'll try and write you one... which one? Or both at the same time?

You are the master of High School Romance, methinks. But really, whatever sparks your fancy. I put down a few lines the other day about a Classic Assassin Intrigue, but ... nothing's happened as of yet, and I can't get voices and stuff right anyway. :D

So my nonsense isn't good enough for you, eh? I always suspected as much.

::shrug:: Your story is not mine. True, mine are really corny and horrible and would not have gotten on GAM, but CGU is yours and I merely try to simulate your words in a visual format. I care about it, yes, but it's not mine and so I don't understand it, nor dare I interpret it. A lot of responsibility and careful treading.

In my heart of hearts I want talk of political intrigue, power, manly women (either the crossdressing kind or just the really ass-kicky kind), and shinies (of the sword/robot variety). I've been walking around recently and panels would just appear in my mind. And because they germinate in my mind and not anyone else's, I can write panel descriptions of them

Woot. Do it. You're a creative force in your own right, dear, and CGU wouldn't be what it is w/o you. And (btw) I don't care if you rape CGU six ways from sunday as long as you run it by me first-- little careful treading, when all's said and done, is required.

huh? oh and did you figure out how yet?

Oooh, high school romance and classic assassin intrigue...

[satyreyes.livejournal.com]

HSR and CAI in what context? (HSR = high school romance, not the one guy with the propeller beanie.) BESM? It would be fun to try them both at once. Kind of like Gokusen, only played dead straight and with more shiny swords. Rurouni Kenshin goes to high school.

More like Aoshi goes to High School, you mean. But... yes. Story/comic context

Saitoh would have to be either the principle or the science teacher.

[summercomfort]

if by principle you mean Assistant Principal, and by Science Teacher you mean PE Teacher from Hell! Or maybe Living Skills.
