I'd really like to get the old lx_arena up and running again.

I've got about 80 or 90 pages of spooky fantasy crap that needs critiquing...

I wonder if LX_Arena can handle my not especially pornographic trashy romance novel in progress. I'm only like 2 chapters in, though.

go for it... I think me and max actually did a porn challenge back in the real life LX once or something.

coolness... hey, do you have a version of my jamie and k story you can send me? I have one on elseworld, but its not the most recent. jack's place too. I guess, though I think I have that somewhere.

Someone had expressed interest in getting the old in-person LX back up and running at some point. Since I'm moving back in two weeks and won't really have a writing community in pgh... I was wondering if any of you felt like it would be worthwhile. I really enjoyed the in-person feedback... I could never get the hang of LX arena. I'm bad at virtuworkshopping.

I am also in favor of in-person stuff, but I'd do virtual if there was no other option. Maybe some wacky hybrid scheme will be in order if we want to accomodate far away people...do we have far away people?

I'd be in favor of it if we could all find the time and the motivation... we could certainly give it a go. The hybrid idea interests me. How would we set that up?

Time may be difficult, but we can probably work something out.

I think the hybrid thing would be we'd do LX like we used to, and far away people would just give and get comments through e-mail (or LX_arena).

I would also like to volunteer myself for a photosketch. I have spiffy two-tone hair now!!! And, I think I'm challenging, because I'm not especially photogenic.

sounds fun... we'll have to set something up.

And thirdly, I like Cheryl's best because there's a sense of movement and dimension in it. It's really unique.

you think? I always find the composition of that one too busy. I like the idea of it, but I just feel like I tried to do too much.

I think the reason I like it is that it's the one that really does more than be *just* a photo, or even a montage of photos. It feels like there's energy in there, maybe even the hint of a narrative thread? I've never seen anything like that before, in one panel... you see it in comics but usually over the course of a few panels. I hope this is making sense.

yes it does. Thank you.

dude, i guess i'd be in a photosketch, if i got to have my guitar with me. better yet, you should do a photosketch of my guitar, with me in it. as an accessory.

I actually like that idea a lot... deal...

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

cool. that way i can keep pretending i lack vanity.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

how do you figure? it was still your idea.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

it's the guitar that's vain, you see. deservedly so, of course.
