Oh yeah!

A lot of people contact me about wanting to be in the show.

Here's the deal:

I already have more story and character ideas than I know what to do with. I also, for legal and personal reasons, want to control the characters used.

Episode 6 had a lot of cameos in it from people who wrote to me. If you are interested in just having your character in the background, send me a demorecording of your toon and the name of the toon, at the contact email on this blog.

For those who don't know how to demorecord:
1. Log into the character you want to record
2. Type /demorecord nameofdemo
3. Sit for a second
4. Type /demostop
5. Go into your City of Heroes folder on your pc.
6. Find the client_demo folder
7. Your demo will be nameofdemo.cohdemo
8. Send that file to me.

Done!

Episode 7 update

Hey guys.

The momentum is strong this time around, so I have the first draft script of Episode 7 finished. I'll give it a little more polishing, then see about corralling my voice crew. Maybe the next episode will be out a little faster than the last. :)

I figured that the point of a blog is to update people on stuff, so I'll try and post here a bit more often from here on out.

Much love,
Liz

Episode 6 - Favorite Possessions

FINALLY!!!

The gang takes a day off from hero-ing, and an intervention is held for Anne.

AAARGH!!!

It was up for about 5 minutes last night. Then, as I peeked through it, two things came to light. One, the color was washed out and it looked really shitty. Two, I hadn't noticed in my half-a-million viewings that a costume bug was plaguing Anne and made her look crappy. So, I'm redoing her costume and re-re-re-regenerating the video file. *beats head on desk*

*insert nervous breakdown here*

Ok. YouTube is being surly, which is making me surly. I just did a few repairs, and will regenerate the video file. If I haven't fallen asleep on my keyboard, I'll start it uploading tonight. If not, it should be up sometime tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you...

Uploading right now. Will have the link up as soon as YouTube processes it. I'd like to thank everyone who reads this and watches the show for being so patient with me. It's been a rough few months, but it feels good to have another show out.

Good news: The script for Ep. 7 is underway...I have it outlined and just have to write the dialogue.

Bad news: You remember that LASIK process I had to go through earlier this year. On August 6, I go through Round 2 of it. They under-corrected me, which isn't surprising since they took me from 7 diopters to about 1ish (0 being 20/20). They'll be doing my right eye first, then my left a short time later. I could live without it, I see worlds better than I could before, but I've come this far, so I might as well be able to see clearly. Y'know, be able to read street signs and busses and my wall calendar. :) So, there will be time to mend, and time to deal with all the medical mayhem and appointments that go with this process. Blargh.

With luck, I'll get the script done and gather people for audio recording considerably faster this time. A couple people involved with the show are working at the Sterling Renaissance Festival in Oswego, so they'll be busy through the end of summer. But, we'll see. At any rate, this show will continue, and hopefully will get closer to the 2 month schedule and farther from the 9+ oh-my-god-I-suck month schedule.

Much love,

WOOOO!!!

For those of you special people who actually follow this blog:

*passes out*

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Ahem. Scene from Hell is done done done done DONE!!!!! Much rejoicing. 1 more scene and this baby's ready to patch together and send out to you guys.

Happy dance!!!!

PROGRESS!!!!

Programming is 80% complete. I finally figured out how to use the tools I was working with, and my husband (the voice behind Raid E. Ation and the reason I stay even remotely sane through this frustration) designed a couple more tools to help me out. So, it's smooth sailing here on out. *knocks on wood, goes outside and finds more to knock on*

This weekend is my kid sister's birthday. She's the voice behind Ellen Carter, and is an awesome awesome person. Give her love in the comments! I'll make sure she gets it.
