WOW! Cerberus! I love that concept :) I think it's neat to see that dog in Naruto fiction. As you said at the top, I could send in better pictures, right? Well I found some cool Cerberus pics, so I hope you'll like them! I'll e-mail them to you.
Author's Response: :D Better pictures? Heck yeah, send them to me! Email them through the contact on my page.

No. She's fine. As you say - she's different, just not quite in the ways I was originally expecting. I just like this character because he feels so very different too. ;0)
Author's Response: Ah, different. We always like different, don't we ;)

Well, yes, of course. I think I meant more that some of the elements I'd been trying to put into my character profile, which you changed seem to be here instead. I suppose it's the age mainly though... When you're the second oldest character at 24 it doesn't exactly bode for much diversity in that respect... which could also be important to the plot I admit, but still... He stands out among the others. I like that.
Author's Response: Eh, yeah, I see what you mean about the diversity thing. With all the heroes and villains mainly in their teens, the age difference with Kioshi is rather noticeable. I won't go into the fact that Naomi is especially different, in terms of her appearance, but yeah, sorry if Naomi isn't exactly what you wanted.

Oh look! It's my Dad! O_O
Of sorts anyway.
Nah, I think he's an awesome character. He makes up for mine a little too... and so deliciously righteously evil. I'm sure he'll be a pleasure to read about.
Author's Response: Haha, yes, in some ways, he is your Dad. XD Oh, what do you mean that Kioshi makes up for Naomi? Each character is important to the plot, remember that. But yes, he is definitely evil, that much is greatly true ;) I sure hope he's a pleasure to read about, otherwise, the plot might just go down the drain... O_O

If that's what you felt the story needed - then that's fine by me. You know that. I think she's an awesome character anyway.
And yes, definitely prettier.. Maybe not by other people's standards, but when you compare her to something like my image ( http://battybigsister.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=131643258 ) it's a no-brainer. Pretti-er. Definitely. ;0)
Author's Response: Oh, yes, I see your point about the pretti-er part. I'm glad you are so accepting of your character. I'm happy you like her :)

Look, it's me! I am... much younger and prettier and thinner than I imaged... but I like it. A lot. =0D Nothing like a crazy bat lady. And she's blonde. Wow! I've never been blonde before. Awesome.
She does have a strange resemblance to my own Naomi too... but that's cool. I think this is possibly a more likeable Naomi too. ;0)
I also love how evil the hamster looks... even if whoever drew that picture put his incisors the wrong way around. Please just ignore that in the story. ;0)
Author's Response: I know, it wasn't exactly what you had requested, I actually ended up making Naomi the opposite of what you had in mind. Yeah, she's younger and thinner (unhealthy though, keep in mind), but prettier? Eh, maybe if you tilt your head and squint... eh, alright, we'll say she's pretty ;) But I'm glad you liked Naomi anyway! Let's hope you and the other readers continue to like her!

I thought I should tell you that I'm not doing Orochimaru's descendent. There's no way I could ever do better than that.
Author's Response: Haha, that's alright. Whatever you can do is fine and appreciated :D

Sorry that it's taken me a while, but I finally just got started on the drawing the characters. I still have a little bit of trouble doing anime, so it will probably take me a while longer. I really wanted to get the OCs' creators to help design their characters. I was wondering if I could scan some drawings of their features and post them so the authors could give me feedback on their characters' appearances. I didn't want to do it without your permission since it's your story.
Author's Response: Oh, there's no need to apologize! And there's no rush, take as long as you need. Other than what the creators submitted under the Appearance category (besides the picture I found on the internet), that's all they really want. I have the actual submissions saved as a file on my flashdrive if you ever need to check them. But yeah, posting them is totally fine. Thanks for asking though, that's quite polite of you :)

Interesting description of the characters. The First Appearance and Twist of Fate (for the heroes) and Mission (for the bad guys) was very helpful indeed. As I said, you have a lot of characters to keep track of, but I think you're doing exceptionally well with all of them. Good job, keep up the great work!
Author's Response: I'm glad you found this bingo book helpful. It was as much for my sake as for the readers and owners. I do actually have approximately fifteen major OCs that were submitted, so I'm just worried about messing them all up. But thanks for saying that I'm doing well with them all! It really means a lot to hear that!

You're right. I'm being ungrateful. Sorry. You've given me a lot of support with both my stories and my meagre attempts at artwork - and believe me, I do appreciate that. Your appreciation means a lot to me - I just worry about saying things wrong or upsetting people. I have nicer elements to my personality too, of course, but I can be a bit of a cow at times... and sometimes things get out of hand and I've hurt a lot of feelings. So I worry.
Moving on - I think what I was saying before I got cut off was that I was thinking of sketching out my character anyway (once you've written and uploaded her chapter) simply because she sounds like great fun to draw. The fact that you've found a picture for her is way better though, as I tend to draw sketches in pencil... and they are sketches too: not proper drawings. Half the time you can still see the guidelines and I rarely use colour. What you've found is probably better.
I think I also said that if you're feeling guilty about missed target dates - why not simply set new ones? That way everyone will know what's happening and you can enjoy the rest of your holiday, guilt free, with a plan ready for what you're doing to do with your time afterwards.
Don't make them too ambitious though. Keep a realistic idea of what you can do given your other commitments, so you don't find yourself swamped with too many things needed your attention. You also need to allow time to eat, sleep and have fun, of course, or you won't study, learn, work or even write as well as you should. ;0)
Author's Response: It's quite alright. I understand your mixed feelings. I personally don't believe you could be a cow, but I guess I don't know you personally, so I couldn't be the judge of that. I do appreciate all the support you show me, and in return, I give you support. Not because I feel obligated to, but because I really think you deserve it. Anyways, you can always sketch the drawing and display it anyway. And if you like it better than what I found, obviously, I'll post it instead :D I think it's important for the characters to be personalized. Yeah, I think I'll put up a blog soon with possible updates that hopefully won't be turned upside down again :P Thanks for the advice! And thanks, as always, for the support!

Who me? I've not done anything special - and certainly nothing you need to give me extra thanks for. Seriously, don't put me on a pedestal - I'll just fall off and disappoint you... same way I've fallen and disappointed people before.
This bingo book, however, is awesome. It really helps me get my head around the various different OCs and who belongs to who. The extra bits like 'Twist of Fate' and 'First Appearance' are really helpful too. This is a great resource and you've laid it out really nicely, so it's really helped me get my head around who's who and everything. It's great.If you're feeling guilty about updates though - then why don't you set yourself new targets for when you get back? That way you'll know exactly where you are with everything and can plan your time and relax without feeling guilty.
Oh... as far as my character goes, she must be quite hard to source a picture for... =0( I was thinking of sketching her out when I've seen
Author's Response: Well,I believe there is no harm in admiring the results of all the work you put into your writing and art for that matter. Anyways, I'm really happy to hear that you like the bingo book! Hmm... Did the site cut you off? It looks like it did... But anyway, I actually have an interesting picture of you, so don't worry ;)

Yay! You did a great job on my character, miss Orochimaru Jr. Thanks!!!!!! =)
Author's Response: Phew, it's always relieving to hear that the OC's owner likes the bio and picture. I'm so glad that you like it all, thanks for telling me!
Name: Konan (Signed) · Date: 25/06/11 - 07:55 pm · For: Karasu Itami Shi
Oh wow! Great picture! I love how she has so much Orochimaru in her. Way better than I could have pictured her!
Author's Response: Haha, it was actually a little difficult finding a picture like that, but I'm glad you thought it was pretty accurate. Thanks a lot for saying so!

Awesome! Great picture and I love the name of his kekkei genkai!
This is a really good idea. I keep people's OCs as a document on my computer for my own reference, but I might do something like this so others can use it was reference as well!
Author's Response: Phew, I'm glad you liked the picture and then name I came up with for his kekkei genkai. I was a little nervous about that stuff. I also kept the OCs as a document on my flashdrive, but a few people said they were tired of going through the reviews, so I decided to post it all as a bingo book. It's quite handy, actually ;)
Name: MidnightStar (Signed) · Date: 25/06/11 - 04:55 pm · For: Amaya Watanabe
Yeah, this is pretty much how I imagined her. If you want, I could draw all of the characters based on their descriptions. I'm much better at that than at writing.
Author's Response: Cool, I'm glad I got the picture choice correct. O_O Oh my gosh, if you could draw them, that would be great! I picked pictures for all of the characters, but obviously, they're not as accurate as the descriptions. I don't care which ones, but I totally give you permission to draw whoever you want. Thanks in advance! It's so appreciated!

First of all, I think this is an awesome idea since I thought but apparently didn't post this thought. It's actually what made me decide to do mine. And I wonder why that face hates you so much...... Secondly, great picture. Lastly, Tonfa needs a place to chat because people seem to do it a lot through reviews. I thought Angel Society had become a chat room when Shadow-san and Fantasy Madeline started talking to each other.
Author's Response: Yeah, I have approximately 15 characters to sort through, so this is pretty much for my readers as well as for me :P And it's a shame I can't do that face, I think it really suits a lot of the situations I go through. I'm glad you liked the picture! I just wish some of the other OC owners would tell me what they thought as well :P Oh yeah, TONFA definitely needs a forum or something, that's why I'm telling some of my readers to go to my site to make chatting easier, but I think some people are uncomfortable going to other sites, to be honest. Eh, whatevers....
