Animation Source Forums

Cobalt's Cobble, the thread with an absolutely ridiculous name and information on my fanfics. Here you'll find news, sneak peeks, tidbits, and fanfix. And me spewing random nonsense. Everything here will answer your ponders about my fanfikz and stuff. I've divided this into sections for the appropriate fanfic and when a fanfic has news or a link is added it gets bumped up to the top. Therefore, new stuff at the top, old stuff lying low at the bottom.


[8-May-08] Winona (Status: Complete, uploaded to site 22-Apr-08)
(copied from summary)
((Shortfic))
James Sidney is waiting anxiously for his hard-to-please customer to arrive. He had promised the first-born daughter of his two prized husky's litter to him. He worries as this pup is beautiful, but she has stick-thin legs - and the customer doesn't like so-called faults in his dogs.
((WARNING: Fair amount of blood and animal cruelty, if you can't tolerate that stuff in a fanfic DO NOT READ))

[8-May-08] Completion, Reflection and Laziness on a Cover Pic
It's finished. It took just under a week, and a weekend to type up, but hey. It's done. The story of a terrible event in Jenna's past.
So where to from here on the Winona characters? Do Axel and James get punished for Axel's outburst? What happens to Tara and the boys? What about Serah?
I honestly don't know. I have a very faint idea on what happens to them afterwards, and it's very little. I think after my major projects are finished, I might turn my hand and pen to this. After all, for a shortfic, I thought it was brilliant.
Cover pic... I'm too lazy. I don't have the time. I suck. Ehem. So that's why I've opened up submissions for the cover art. No, this is not a contest. Just PM me with a link to your picture ("make sure it works, Dopey!") and if I like it I'll whack it on with the respective copyright. DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY HERE. Please no. I'll ignore it otherwise. And that'll be a shame. So please, PM it. With the subject line of "sop". 'Cuz that word makes me giggle and happy.

As for the merge... thought you might like to know.




[8-May-08] Hotstuff (Status: Stage 1/2 Planning (Character Design/Harry Plotters Arranging)
Hotstuff, the fanfic I am determined to get out to a good audience. This one really holds potential in my opinion. Hotstuff, a young husky, has been having dreams of a dog silouhetted by the moon. When the same dog, Dima, arrives in town for a vacation, Hotstuff rather ironically develops cold feet... things start off, but she's due back to her hometown. He plans to go after her, he wants to go after her... but will he make it? (DUN-DUN-DUN! *dramaticbeaver*)[/size]

Mother's Day Painting! I did a painting of Dima and her girly Sydney for my nanna^^ I got a scan before it's sent off tommorow, and who knows, there may be another one for my motherling |O. It's situated just above the Hotstuff render as it's newer. And as a link to my gallery because I just sent it. And modders are not robots, (un)fortunately.

As of today Suka's Tail Chapter 3 is ON HOLD for probably what will be a few months spent on my other fanfics which are of higher priority. I will get to this soon, but now is not the time.

News on FAAB Delivered Fast As A Bullet
[8-May-08]"ON HOLD" given to FAAB indefinitely, "Bullet" AXED
FAAB has been under the "ON HOLD" status for a long time and doesn't look to be surfacing anytime soon. Suprise.
Also, some changes. The character "Bullet", my first Balto character, and the character that the fanfic takes its name off, has unfortunately been AXED from the series. He will not appear in the story as perviously planned. His name does come up in the WoC rewrite as the name Dingo's musher has given him as a tribute, but I will not be using him anymore.
His pictures will stay in the links section for historical reasons in case someone wants to look over them once they're done. As for the title, it *might* stay, but I'm not sure, which is why I've simply marked it as the project name.
This means:
- Cobalt is without a love interest and
- the main protagonist is gone.
I'm not sure how to arrange things now as our lead dog has gone but we'll simply have to see once I get this off "ON HOLD" status.


Other Tidbits Section:
Guidance of the Moon: Merged into WoC rewrite
Saba & Dakota story: Yet to be planned
The Dingo's Roar: Cancelled


POLL THINGO. Currently I have no clue on which to write first, Hotstuff or WoC rewrite. I don't want to get Hotstuff out and nobody notices it, but it'll take a long time to work on. The WoC rewrite will also take a while and was planned to come before Hotstuff, which is why I'm leaning more towards that being released first. So what's yer opinion?

I realise this has a dreadful layout, the forum only allows so much. If anything's morbidly out of place thanks to this forums' dastardly bad BBCode handling skills, let me know and I'll whack it on the head and back into place

BBCode pooped all over the Winona and Suka's Tail sections so it should all be okay now.

And nice to hear some interest Enchantress :3 always is for anyone, I suppose
