"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

You're not refreshing often enough.

We have to leave some of them up in Jough's memory, don't you think?

You took out my favorite one about embryos becoming a dude if they are awesome enough. Though I suppose that was more of a Jough joke than a Wombat one.

I do appreciate the lines copied from the Achewood twitter though. I don't use twitter so it makes me feel like I'm still keeping up with it.

I really enjoyed deleting that one, including dreaming of Jough coming back and yelling at me for it.  You know me, I still kind of miss Onstad shouting at us and locking threads.

I just want you all to know that anyone who got there before me is a hidebound asshole, anyone who got there after me is a fumbling novice, and this applies for all values of "there".

I always thought the AssBar thing was officially sanctioned because the AssetBar favicon was an arse with the word ‘bar’ under it. But looking closer, that icon is some citrus bollocks. Silly me.

It seems I picked a rather inopportune time to quit lurking.   And I've been lurking since Old Times.  All it took was that Millionaire strip to push me over the edge, but now I'm gonna creep back into the shadows.

We all lurk in the shadows here.  It's more about whether you choose to make grunting noises or not.

I see that the hazing policy has become somewhat lax.

For what it's worth, the thing that's always attracted me to TOUAMB as opposed to any other venue for Achewood discussion is the level of understanding of the characters that the posters here have.  What has always set Achewood apart from other webcomincs is the dedication to character, ahead of even story or (obviously) frequency of new content.  I'm down with anybody who gets that.

My assumption has always been that we have insight into fictional characters because we are probably all fictional characters ourselves.

Don't be too sure about the hazing, though. I am the one who plays a character that isn't mean to people, here.

Time to take the pugs for a walk, my dear Wombat.  They're looking rather sloth like.
