03:14 starcat sigh.

13:12 dooky Have you finished yet?

13:13 dooky Because if not, I win!

13:25 Raihosha Judging by her stickam stream she did...

13:25 Raihosha BRB need to read new Amazoness

13:27 Raihosha Yay for Eutropia.

13:36 Raihosha Good work dooky.

13:37 dooky Woooo!

13:38 Raihosha So, how's Monday's comic coming? ^__^

13:39 dooky It's... um... What?

13:39 dooky It... has a title!

13:40 dooky Usually I can at least claim "I've written the script" but that isn't quite true in this case...

13:40 Raihosha Good show, then! I won't expect you to be drawing until tomorrow. ^__^

13:41 dooky >.> Well, in that case...

13:41 Raihosha Realy, dooky, as much as I love Amazoness, I'll wait until the story appears. Just realize you aren't allowed to quit.

13:42 dooky Bah, I wish I had a backlog. I did for the first few weeks and then I got lazy and used it all up.

13:44 Raihosha Yes, well Piro survives without a backlog (Yes you're being compared to high company).

13:45 dooky He also has a problem with dealines :P

13:45 dooky *deadlines

13:46 dooky At least, so I'm told. I haven't read Megatokyo in a long time.

13:46 Raihosha He still has problems with deadlines. He's at about once a week currently.

13:48 dooky Well, he does have pretty art. And a big enough following to pretty much do whatever he likes ^_^;;

13:49 Raihosha Well, keep up the work, dooky, and someday that too will be yours. ^_^ As xkcd proves you don't need perfect art to tell a good story that people enjoy.

13:51 dooky xkcd is really funny though.

13:51 dooky Also, I think a big following is a double-edged sword.

13:52 dooky On the one hand you can miss updates and people will keep coming back for the community. On the other hand, the more obsessive fans become, the meaner they get!

13:53 Raihosha Well, xkcd is very funny to those who can get the humor. Some of the comics are above me (which if you'll allow the immodesty, is really hard to do).

13:54 Raihosha Well, I don't think they get meaner, dooky, it's just that we run into Sturgeon's Law -- 80% of everything is crap. This includes fans.

13:55 dooky Heheh. That might be true.

13:56 dooky But I think obsessive fans do criticise more freely. Star Trek fans will tear into Star Trek - well, elements of it - with more gusto than any non-fan.

13:56 dooky When stuff matters to you, it's more likely to piss you off...

13:56 Raihosha True, but they're critical because they love it so much.

13:57 Raihosha I mean if you hate Star Wars, why bother criticising it?

13:58 dooky I know. But I bet George Lucas is still all "Damn it guys, stop complaining about Jar Jar! I like him!"

13:59 dooky (I don't know Star Wars too well so Jar Jar is the best example I could think of)

13:59 Raihosha Yes, there is that. Personally I don't dislike Jar Jar, I don't see where the vitriol comes from.

14:00 Raihosha ANd for an interesting take on Jar Jar see http://www.darthsanddroids.net/

14:00 Raihosha I'd start from the beginning.

14:01 Raihosha Oh great, I'll have distracted you from doing comics. I'm a bad fan, aren't I.

14:01 dooky Oh, but I like distractions!

14:02 dooky Muahahaha...

14:03 UltraMatt heh

14:03 Raihosha Well, I need to run.

14:04 UltraMatt bye

14:04 Raihosha Sigh. And just as Matt shows up. Later Matt.

14:04 UltraMatt *has been having troubling thoughts >>*

14:04 dooky Troubling? Oh dear...

14:05 UltraMatt well..it started last night actually

14:05 UltraMatt I've been thinking of Ultraman...

14:06 UltraMatt that's the problem with being a huge fan <<

14:07 dooky So how is Ultraman troubling you?

14:07 UltraMatt well..

14:09 UltraMatt 1. he's giant size (unless in human form)

14:09 UltraMatt 2. the whole...how to relate problem

14:09 UltraMatt and..well...sometimes I wonder if he's just too...idealistic a charcter

14:11 dooky Perhaps it's a mistake to think too deeply about these things...

14:11 dooky You could apply the same logic to Sailor Moon...

14:13 starcat SO

14:13 starcat I failed in finishing my hat before dooky updated Amazoness!

14:13 starcat It's only half-done

14:13 starcat dooky, I am so proud of you

14:13 dooky O.O

14:14 starcat what

14:14 dooky I thought you'd finished the hat!

14:14 starcat The blue one.

14:14 starcat Not the purple one.

14:14 dooky Well, when I checked your live feed it wasn't on, so I assumed you'd finished.

14:14 starcat ...

14:15 starcat well I'm not going to leave it on all the time

14:15 starcat >_>;

14:15 UltraMatt ??

14:15 dooky Okay so it was actually Rai who made that assumption but it seemed to make sense at the time...

14:15 starcat um.

14:15 starcat Check the timestamps in the logs.

14:16 starcat I was *asleep* when that was said.

14:17 starcat I'm not going to leave my webcam on while I'm asleep

14:17 starcat that would be silly

14:17 UltraMatt heh

14:17 dooky Timestamps? <.<

14:17 starcat I might turn it on later today but not right now.

14:17 UltraMatt the little times on the side, Dooky

14:17 starcat Timestamps: the tags that tell you the time

14:18 starcat in IRC they're over <---

14:18 starcat here

14:18 dooky I know what they are, guys >.>

14:18 starcat Yeah.

14:18 starcat Check when I POSTED the URL

14:18 dooky I've only been looking at the meebo logs, and they don't have timestamps.

14:18 starcat They do.

14:18 starcat v----

14:18 starcat The down-there ones.

14:18 starcat http://chatlogs.meebo.com/room/suburbansenshi/logs/2008/09/04/

14:18 starcat as in, there

14:19 dooky But I wasn't looking at those!

14:19 dooky I was looking in the box <.<

14:19 dooky >.>

14:19 starcat I KNOW

14:19 starcat that's why I told you to look in the logs

14:20 starcat not scroll up

14:20 starcat :P

14:20 dooky WHY DO I FEEL STUPID NOW

14:20 dooky GAAAAH

14:20 starcat awww.

14:20 starcat D:

14:20 starcat I sorry.
