Hey all.
Thanks for the reads of my short, food troubles.
Mr Announcer, you got some great artwork, the colouring excellent.

The fanfic thats in the works seems very interesting, looking forward to the finished product. When's the target date?

This 'fan works explosion' is great.
such a variety works.

O_o

I think you kinda left yourself open for that one... >_>;

Anyways. You mentioned you were looking for something along the lines of "little problems", so I did quick browse of my iTunes library for a song title you could probably use. I have to say I snickered when I saw this one:

"Dirty Little Secret". :}

If that one doesn't work, then, well... I suppose I tried. I'll look for something else to suggest if that's the case. Hope that helps, though. 8D;;

Hmm. I'm wondering. Anyone willing to make a very loooong fanmanga series bassed off of a fanfiction series? It would be frigging awesome to see AH in manga form. <3 Not that I expect it to ever happen... oh well.

Something a bit more likely now. I'm wondering if there's anyone willing to take some art requests? I'd draw these myself but I'm not good enough, in my opinion, to do them. I've managed to get one DBAH fanart but I've still got a few other pictures in mind. >.>

I'm always up for requests. Especially with original stuff. New and fresh = cool and fun to draw.

Wow, that's some fanart you all have got there!
Vegeta cooking! You sly raccoon! (it's 01:08 here so gimme a break about that comment

)

Tomorrow I'll contribute with an good 'ol pencil drawing. Dragonball-theme of course.

D00ds and d00dettes. Need some more help with naming stuff.

As you know, I've been titling the chapters of my FanFic with puns/clever references to pop culture things (songs, tv shows, movies, memes, etc...). I'm trying to get Chapter 5 churned out by the end of the week, and I'm having trouble thinking up a name. The chapter's about the aftermath of Xuelong's summoning and Goku's shrinking, and possibly beginning to learn the BlackStar balls' backstory. I'm trying to think of something along the lines of "little problems," or something similar. But I can't think of a title of anything like that.

Help?

I thought up some pretty crappy ones for you to laugh and deny!

The incredible shrinking Saiyan!
Episode 5: The Xuelong Strikes back
Yeah, they aren't so hot.
I myself liked desireecampbells.

*Laughs*

*Denies*

Yeah, no good, sorry. It's not entirely about Goku being shrunk (it's also about the "little" problems caused by the wish), and Xuelong's gone (for now)

Kino's isn't bad.

Big Momma · Post by **Big Momma** » Tue May 15, 2007 8:57 pm

Yeah, I knew they sucked.
But I still love making puns!

Don't sweat the little things
Just joking, I didn't come back for more snappy wordplay, I drew another picture. I was bored, so it's just a sketch.

That's actually pretty good, but it's not a pop culture reference...

Sweet.

I'll PM you the various picture ideas I've got and you can pick and choose which one(s) you want to do.

Hmm. Actually, I know of a book (probably older) that goes by a similar title... may not be sufficiently pop-culture, but it could work.

Building on Big Momma's suggestion, though...

"Don't sweat the small stuff... [but] it's [not] all small stuff".

Does that sound like it might work? o.o

Glad to know you thought my suggestion sounded okay, though. ^^;

Well guys, as I told I'm done with my work.
It's supposed to be drawn on a blackboard, hence the black and white colors.
It's just mocking with the dub lines "It's over 9000!!!", "I can see his parachute, he's ok!" and "Mondo cool!".
This is supposed to have occured in an alternate timeline where Babidi survived, Vegeta killed Goku, and Vegeta winning the world championship (hence the belt).

Here you have it!

Nice pic!^

Speaking of Dub lines..!

I was bored last night, so I drew up this short comic strip. It reads manga style-right to left.

hey all.
Man, that was good.
Really funny. Nice parody on the 'over 9000!!!' quote. LOL.

Anybody interested in helping me make a website? For some time now I've wanted to make an extensive info site, but I have NO website knowhow. I don't want anything majorly beautiful, just a simple layout that's easy to update. I'm forced to used geocities' WYSIWYG program ("Pagebuilder") and from what I can see it looks just as crappy as it was in the early '90s (it can't even make tables for me?!).

I have no problems adding co-webmasters who want to specialize in talking about viz and FUNi's or other domestic products, or talking about merchandise in general, etc. My only stipulation is that it be Dragonball-related only (with the only exception being topics about Toriyama), and that you don't go on a tangent and revamp things you disagree with (IE: "That's a stupid idea, Dayspring! **Delete section**" or "I think X is what really happened here. **Delete entry**").

For layouts I'm looking for KISS mentality ("Keep it simple stupid," not the band): black fonts on white bg, with dark blues used frequently.

Macromedia has a program which makes producing websites very easy, it's called Dreamweaver I think. I once used it myself. I recommend it. Using it you don't have to have other webmasters.

Thanks, I'll go check that out right away.

EDIT: Crap. I can't decide on a title for the site. I'm torn between "Dragonball Encyclopedia," "Dragonball Daizenshuu," and "Daizenshuu Hope" (the last one being the name of my failed attempted site from two years ago). What are your opinions?

Post by **desirecampbell** » Sat May 19, 2007 5:43 pm

The simplest thing to do is to use a blog system. You don't need to do anything at all to get it up and running, you just need to take some time to organise the info into articles.

I don't use any blogs myself, but I hear these are some good ones:
:: https://www.blogger.com/start
:: http://wordpress.org/
:: http://www.livejournal.com/
:: http://blog.com/

The step up from that is to grab some free hosting (geocities or somesuch) but use your own uploaded HTML (which I or anyone else here would be happy to help you with).

The step up from that is to buy some real hosting and use a more advanced PHP and database system. PHP and db systems are more complex, but they're waaaaay wasier to use once you set them up. This is the most difficult option but allows for the most customization, and (frankly) will get you taken more seriously.
You can get hosting for less than 10 bucks a month, I use Tundra and have never had a problem

Oh, and please, please, please don't use Dreamweaver. It makes me cry. And, yeah, that's not hard to do, but still! Notepad young padawan, notepad!
