Oh and please read my Security Story if you get the chance !

(Could a plug be anymore shameless?)

I wouldn't be ashamed, since you're advertising a very good story which everyone should read.

And as for the tag-thread, I've brought "myself" into a setting where I think everyone will feel comfortable posting about. It's a little place which we call the "Real World".

I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with that once Summer vacation rolls around.

I'm glad you're still enjoying the stories, "Dad".
Feel free to lob in the occasional hand grenade - it's amazing the fresh inspiration that they can cause.

Hmm...

I think the new tag team thread's off to a pretty groovy start!

Me too Eryk! Now lets hope that some others join in and have fun with it!

Jeepers! I think someone's going to have to do a plot summary soon. I already seem to be in three places at once (Cafe Cramer, the Hootchie Hut, and where the truck is bearing down on Cobie and the gang)!

Well Eryk, they are YOUR patented plot summaries ! We're waiting for you!

My apologies to all. Been quite a while since I've had time to visit Bits and read the various stories. Besides being busy at work, much of my "free" time has been spent traveling down to Miami to help Tommy out during his recovery. What little time that left for the boards has been limited to MMB for the most part, although I do miss "Bits" and all the zany goings on.

Aside to Harbinger, who wrote:

Darling, I'm not sure I know which of my feeble contributions you enjoyed so much. I'm just glad that you liked it! Unfortunately the Ongoing tag team has gotten so huge, I don't know if I'll ever get caught up enough to be able to contribute anymore to it. I will however, promise to try to add to the new thread and I'll try like crazy to keep up with the rest of you.

I just wanted to know that while I am going to be incredibly busy over the next two or three weeks, once things calm down I plan on working on my long-awaited (by Cobie, at least!) Onevision, tentatively titled "Refugees", which basically is supposed to take the LMBP from the end of the "Super-Jailhouse Story" to the founding of Legion World. I want to represent metaphorically such things as the replacement of the old DCMBs by the new, as well as our time at Rob's boards and Jolley Roger's, but I'm still struggling to find the appropriate way of representing those things without falling into "Illyana Highlander" type problems.

The plan is that it will be centered around my own character, Eryk Davis Ester, and will have as its theme his transition from the tentative LMBP-ally who'd just gotten over being a power mad cosmic villain at the end of the Super-Jailhouse story, to an integral part of the LMBP, trusted enough that he would be elected first Deputy Leader of Legion World. I'm hoping that this will in many ways represent my own process of coming to feel like a part of the group, as opposed to someone who just happened to post on the old DCMBs (and was actually believed by at least a few to be simply an alt-ID of another prominent poster).

Anyway, stay tuned!

EDE, you know I can't wait for the Onevision! I'm dying to learn how Eryk makes it into the LMB from villain to Deputy! And how Legion World is founded, and then let known to the LMBP, and then the subsequent move there!

I also have plans to finish Breath of Life now that my big work contest is over. Hopefully I can start to enjoy some of the finer things in life again...

1) Early Sunday Mornings on Legion World

2) Regular installments to Bits as I continue the Dannyverse stories ( I just got the Legion Companion and somehow it has inspired me).

3) Lazy Afternoons on Legion World

4) The flirting threads!

Have I missed anything?

NAw, but we've missed YOU Danny!

Awwwwww. How sweet...

EDE, I promise to start reading your story soon, when I get the chance ! I hadn't seen it before, I'm glad you've decided to finish it!

And welcome back Danny !

On Headlining threads in the Bits forum:

This is a general question for everyone who contributes to the Bits forum through writing or art. Recently, I've considered 'de'-headlining the two tag threads, although I'm not sure what everyone else thinks (I did de-headline them, and someone 're'headlined them, although they probably didn't know I did it on purpose).

The main reason is that I remember when the MMB's had four headlined threads and some people didn't like it that other threads were too easily pushed off page one. I know that there are times when the Bits forum doesn't get much traffic, and then there are times when this place has been exploding with creativity, like recently. Is four headlined threads too much, is it cramping the top of the page?

Your feedback is appreciated ! If no one cares either way, I'll just leave it as is.

As a general rule, I don't care for headlined threads but there are exceptions. In any case, I don't really mind the headlined threads here. Whatever works, Cobie, to keep this forum's activity up!

I'd say throw them all to the wolves and may the strongest rise to the top - not that it's a problem either way.

I'm in agreement with FC...

Also have to say that Cobie writes FANTASTIC stories - I am totally enjoying his Price of Security...

Well, the Price of Security is finished, although the story is not! This wraps up Part I of the story, and the whole "Price of Security" aspect of it, although that theme will remain ever-present for the duration of the story!

Thanks to everyone who has read it so far, and everyone who plans to! It is by far the piece of writing that I am most proud of, and I can't wait to get to part II, the conclusion.

It will be titled "Journies and Destinies", and I should get to it relatively soon (at the same pace I've been writing this one). The last few 'chapters' of 'Security' were setting up this journey anyway, so the continuation will be quick and easy. I just felt this was a good transition of the story!

Hope you all like it

Is it just me, or has this place been kicking ass lately? !

Stories by Lash, Lardy, Cru, and promises from Bevis and EDE!

Plus Harbinger, Star Boy, Danny and EDE's own stories being amazing!

Monkey-Eater's ultra-cool photo manips!

The tag story is fun (although slowing down) and Numf posted somemore fun bits!

And it's only a matter of time before Chuck posts something that makes me embarrass myself at work when I laugh out loud! Not to mention the long-overdue return of IB to the tag threads!

And you all know how I love those continuity threads !

*side note*- I'm going to de-headline the two tag threads as well. Neither is getting much action right now, and I think it's a good idea. There is so much traffic here right now, that'd I'd feel bad if someone's thread is pushed to page two b/c there's four headlined threads.

Plus, maybe this will give people some incentive to post in the threads--since if they don't, they'll be on page two! That'll teach you !

You guys sure have been busy while I've been away!

I think all your stories and art are great. I'm certainly enjoying them all.

But they are hard pressed to match your stellar wackiness IB while Numf is offshore.... Welcome back!

I noticed your name on a few threads IB, it's good to have you back.

You have been missed
