And Formendacil - that sentence was definitely this round's best. I had to stop reading for a while to recover from it. That IS a complement by the way.

Besides his masterpiece,
All this is going straight to my head... I hope you two know that!

Especially since the picture was done as such mostly because, well, MSPaint was my only functional option--no scanner--and I was trying for something other than run-of-the-mill with that limited option. Glad to see it worked.

Personally, though, I don't think you can top Beregond's "and then the dragon came!" and Brinn's floating Saucepan Baby is still my favourite visual.

An excellent round entirely, though.

Do we need a mod for the next game?

I just wanted to say that I think that Laurinquë's Shelob looks quite cute (well, as far as spiders can).

And to ask to be signed up for Ye Nexte Game.

Laurinque's Shelob actually made me utter the word "gah!", until I took a second look at her eyes. Then I thought she was cute.

Formy's Hexapod is a psychadelic feast.

Eonwe's sentence and Brinn's following pic are brilliant.

This was a hilarious round and you all should feel as warm and fuzzy as Shelob inside. Please to count me into the next round.

Quite a journey it was from the first pic to the last.

I'd like to join the next round, please.

Count me in too, please, whoever the next mod is. This was just hilarious.

I'd like to be in the next round when we have it up and going again. I need more excuses to draw insane things!

Ahem.

*puts on canon glasses*

Nogrod and Laurinque, while your artistry was quite commendable, I must remind you:

Elijah Wood does not equal Frodo Baggins. Even if that is the best way to get everyone else to recognize him.

I, for one, shall see this as a strike against us Brown-Eyed Frodo activists.

*removes canon glasses*

Now that I've got that off my chest: please sign me up for the next round!

Though I'll request that I be put on writing first so as I won't have scanner access for another fortnight...

If this gets organized quickly enough that that will matter...
