- 17:08:46: These trains continue to baffle me. Everyone's camping on platform one - what does it mean?!
- 17:35:13: On train back now. Gonna be fun carrying home the fruits of my pillaging.
- 20:08:31: Upon consideration, I've decided that a graphic novel would be better for me than a webcomic.
- 20:16:04: @azuire Is it non-existent, supernatural or a gateway to another dimension?
- 20:20:06: @azuire Well that -is- pointless. Does the platform even go anywhere?
- 20:25:06: @azuire I think it's a secret portal to an extra-dimensional railway, and should be graphic novelised.
- 20:27:27: @azuire I can has co-writer status? I'm very silly.
- 20:59:30: @azuire On a Thursday? I'm good with any time you are, being a filthy gap yearrist :)
- 21:00:16: @azuire By the way, I have your grey waistcoat :D In perfect nick, except one of the buttons needs sewing - I'll do it for you.
- 21:07:58: I had an appointment at the Job Centre yesterday that I didn't even know about. It's now for tomorrow. More record shop raidage for me! #yay

- 21:50:42: @rosiebunny Would you like to see Withnail & Ostrich turned into a graphic novel? :P
- 22:21:40: I'm craving a cheeseburger. And a good night's sleep. Since the sleep is more accessible right now, I'm off to bed. Peace!
- 22:23:10: ... after Hotmail decides to behave itself and let me check my e-mails. How much maintenance does that website need?!
- 22:26:58: Right-o. Bedtime number two, and three, and four. And five. But certainly not six. Night, Twitterverse!
- 22:38:17: Stocking the shop is like this: standing upstairs, getting all philosophical over what defines a jumper.
- 22:43:06: @azuire Well, the state some are in... It's the sleeve lengths, materials and thickness of garments that boggles.

excited for party times indeed.
I think it's probably a medical condition with a crazy-ass Latin name.
I've started a sketchbook, by the way, to get a bit of drawing practice in. Well, there'll be three sketchbooks: people, places and objects. That's a pretty broad scope! It'll just be for me to doodle while we get the script down so I can figure out what the characters'll look like and find a suitable drawing style. I'm good at Manga but I don't want it to be manga. I want a quirky British feel, and by golly I shall have it.
We're doing it graphic novel style, aye? I'm much better at storyboard+dialogue in that format, actually. If you had me stick to prose for this sort of thing I'd be breaking the fourth wall constantly. Not that we can't break the fourth wall here too XD
Do you intend to upload it for the interwebs to see a la serial webcomic, or shall we save all of it for a suitable publisher?
Yep, graphic novel :D Storyboard to your hearts desire! I should have asked what format you'd be most suited to, actually. Storyboard/dialogue it is :)
Breaking the fourth wall in a graphic novel = awesome. We could make it hilarious!
I couldn't do a serial web-comic. If I did, it wouldn't last long. A huge, ongoing project would just peter out. We can post it on the internet if you'd like (I don't mind), but it won't be one of those COMICS WITH NO ENDING. Like Naruto or Bleach - they're going on ages and they've gone a bit crap.
It'll take time because I have A LOT on my plate, but let's have brainstorm sessions once a week? Or just update the google doc and start talking at each other.
"This is Jimmy. He's a clot." "Didn't you hear the narrator! He just said I was a clot!"
I vote for plan+finish before we post it anywhere. That way we don't frustrate ourselves over omg haven't updated in ages. And I don't like things that are too long either.
I've got two novels on the go, plus The Prince's Trust and voluntary work, so no worries, I know what you mean :) We'll go at our own pace - after all, regardless of where we are in the world, there's always Google Docs :D
HAHA. I vote we have a narrator who pokes fun at all the characters :D
Agreed with planning/finishing. We can work at a more leisurely pace that won't drive us mad, then, because there's no rush to update :) Then, when all is well and done, we can update. By the way, would you prefer black + white or colour? I'd prefer colour, personally, because it's snazzy and prettyful C:
I second this vote. And added the narrator character: he's a holdover from another story of mine that changed mediums and he had nowhere to go, poor chap :/
I prefer B/W, but you're the artist, whichever you think is best.
It won't be all OMGMARIOWTFTECHNICOLOUR bright. I'll work on a colour palette, one which will convey an appropriate atmosphere :)
Btw, sent you a direct message on twitter because I wasn't sure you'd see email & lj message is playing havoc with me.
I replied on Twitter. Actually, it was only because I went on Hotmail that I saw the Twitter message :P I've e-mailed my pocketwatch friend because the shop name eludes me, but after a bit of pondering I've narrowed it down to either Miss Selfridge's or Debenham's - and there's possibly one other that I can't recall.
By the way, I've just looked on Amazon and there's a nice selection, quite affordable too. I might indulge myself when I'm not skint, as the black waistcoat I have has pockets that would be ideal.
I cannot believe how bloody dim I am. Or how awesome you are. Aw, how cool is this! Someone'll walk over to me on the street, all 'have you got the time, lass?@ and I'll be all 'certainly, my dear fellow!' and then I'll whip out this super-awesome pocket-watch and they'll be all like 'no way!' and I'll be like 'yeah. Dig it.'
And then they'll run for the nearest shovel. By which time I'll be long gone, leaving only a message saying 'it's 11:46AM, btw' with a little pocket-watch drawing on it.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU <3 ASDJHGDA;;
your christmas present is actually two things; I shall keep the other under wraps (pun intended) unless you are in grave danger of buying it.
Seriously, I love brown/vintage stuff. It often occurs to me that the colour brown is taking over my wardrobe somewhat (though I was in a distinctly green/purple/magenta mood that day in Liverpool). I bet the watch is gorgeous :D Out of curiosity, do you mean brown as in a bronze colour?
Excuse me while I flail in my excitement. I recommend you keep at arm's length.
*flails*
We can consult each-other for the time should nyone come up and ask :D
PERSON: Have you got the time?
ME: I certainly have, on my SUPER-AWESOME POCKETWATCH - Zurie, can you consult your SUPER-AWESOME POCKETWATCH and confirm that the time is 11:46AM?
YOU: Let me just find my SUPER-AWESOME POCKETWATCH to check... [checks] It's 11:47AM here!
ME: NO! IT'S HAPPENING AGAINNN! [time distorts, for a bit of a laugh]
PERSON: ... [walks away]
You KNOW this would be awesome.
Bonus points for carrying speakers that play The Time Warp?
It would be brilliant. I'd love to see how many people
accidentally go back in timeswerve to avoid us :'DFor now, I'm off to bed. I have my Prince's trust induction in the morning, which means I've got to be up early. Ta-ta for now! And thanks again :D
