    Hey Totte, how do we post these on the voting thread? I think it would work best if all three are in one post.  

    It's perfectly explained in the entries thread, and what a great story! 

    Yes it is. Hehe. Maybe I should have read the rules. blushcheeky Thanks.

    Decidedly off-topic, but I couldn't resist the self-inflicted dig....

    On the DAZ home page, there is a sequences of images.  The second one, of a gray-bearded man, wearing a red jacket and glasses, with a guitar slung by its strap across his back, looks so much like me that it's downright creepy!

    But I swear, it isn't me!

    Now I have to go and think hard on what I am going to do for this story!!!

    Harold was folding the Map to put it in a plastic bag to protect it from the water in the well. Dorma ran to the well to see if she would fit in the well. Springy was already trying to go down into the well before even Sharky could move out of the way. Chippy the Chimpanzee climed up to the rim of the well and looked down into it seen it was going to be a long drop to the water itself. Everyone was excited to begin their big adventure to the treasure through the well to the sea. Stan didn't see what all the fuss was about cause he could not go with them cause he was not made to swim at all under water. so he told them to have fun and he would keep a cloe eye on Belinda and Kindred while they were gone.

    Muck's Big Idea

    Image 1: The Next Big Thing
    Once Muck realized that Wooden Weapon Welding would not work, he set out to invent the next big thing. Grocer, George, let Muck use a desk in a corner of the mercantile to ponder his next move... "I know", said Muck, "I'll create a company to sell Copper Colored Cardinal Cages! I'll name my company after a great river of the world and offer express overnight delivery."

    Used: Old West Mercantile Interior Ps 8889, Capsces Poses Teen Josie 7 22703, Reflections Victorian Desk DS 13157, Streetwear Fashion DS 10226 (LB)

    Image 2: Wrong River
    Muck hired Grim to help deliver the Copper Colored Cardinal Cages. That was his third bad choice. His second bad choice was shipping cages with cardinals included. His first bad choice was selecting a river name at the end of the alphabet, instead of one at the beginning of the alphabet.

    Used: Oriental Prosperity DS 4909, Grim StudioCF 945, Delivery Sedan and Wagon 1930 StudioCF 12914, Streetwear Fashion DS 10226 (LB), The Raccolet House StudioCF 9988 (LB)

    Image 3: Light at the End of the Tunnel
    Well, those other guys are delivering products with drones, but Muck has a fleet of hovercraft. Who knew the demand for Copper Colored Cardinal Cages (cardinals sold separately) would be so huge. As the hovercraft stream down the tube, Muck can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    Whoa!  Muck returns!!  Beautifully done!

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 24,223

    Thanks, Gopherus, Muck seems to be popular!

    I noticed, after reading the entries only rules, that we are only allowed ten lines of text in our whole story. I already see that some people are going to have to trim their story a lot before putting it in the entries only thread.

  • GopherusGopherus Posts: 1,108

    Oops!  I plumb skimmed over that rule.  Time to do some editing.... daz soon anyway.

    Nice start!  Good thing it was in the basement.  Of course, if it had been on the floor above the buffalo would still have ended up in the basement.

    - Gopherus (1st, 2nd of 1) - oh, the cliffhangers! I am in suspense. Why did she select a Laughing Kookaburra hat? The wedding theme is fun.

    - Saphirewild (1st, 2nd of 1) - a great white shark popping up from a well to give sage advice? Yup, RRRR. So much to love about these images, but I especially love the creepy tree. Nice.

    - Luci45 (1st, 2nd, 3rd of 1) - revenge thwarted! hilarious story. I keep coming back to the2nd image to check out each tv monitor.

    - Barbult (1st, 2nd, 3rd of 1) - So happy to have the return of Muck. See the light at the end of the tunnel! Well played.

  • Wow, nice entries so far.

    Gopherus #1: 
                      1A - 
    Love the girl's faces, they look very real. I guess that Almond Rah is a zombie, and I'm not sure if Thalia isn't one as well. Do they have marriages in afterlife? 
                      1B - Will he get strangled if he doesn't marry her?  Third life on the go.... ;) 

    Saphirewild #1:
                       1A - 
    Looks like a nice cartoon with a lot of characters. Somehow reminds me of Winny the Pooh stories.
                       1B - And then everyone moved, just a little bit to feel this "jump to the next frame". I wonder how it will end in the third panel. (And the well won't break down)

    Luci45 #1:
                       1A - 
    Wonderful expressions. The guy doesn't look even one bit sorry. I guess he didn't like his coupled show lady in the first place. Probably keeping up with her till something better came along.
                       1B - Again, her expression is wonderful. Love the panel when the guy is in jail. 
                       1C - And then this super old happy guy came and I'm sure he's the one who actually ruined the party. But yeah, I'm not feeling sorry for Jill. Don't dig a hole for someone else.

    Barbult #1:
                       1A - 
    His expression shows it all. He's so completely clueless.
                       1B - Love the birds flying in all the directions. Nicely made.
                       1C - Good to see all ended well, I thought another disaster was on its way. I guess sci-fi saves us all. :)

    diomede #1:
                       1A - 
    How did they end up with a buffalo as a pet in the first place???? I mean, if you assume buffalo as a pet, I guess letting him jump table in the basement isn't so surprising.
                       1B - I hope the buffalo will get better...

    Luci45 - Classic soap opera, well done. Jill's face in panel #2 reminds me of Ellen DeGeneres.

    barbult - Great story in 10 lines, and with a happy ending too.

    diomede - Love the pet buffalo.

    Gopherus - Delightful - the fun continues...

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 24,223

    Thanks for the comments. smiley

    I agree, it is refreshing to see something turn out well for Muck for once. He's had more than his share of hapless adventures and bad outcomes. Perhaps his luck has turned. Or maybe it was just a fluke. Only time, and the RRRR gods of random, will tell, I suppose.

    That's great! The first thing I thought of was that Luci45's Wallbusters Extricators are going to be required. How do they get that critter in and out of that basement?

  • luci45luci45 Posts: 2,748

    I stopped by hoping to find some inspiration for my next story and was not disappointed! laugh

    Saphirewild  That's a lot of stuff going on with all those animals. Great fun! I look forward to #3.
    Barbult - OMG, Muck is back! Hilarious! And really awesome renders and story. Great use of your items! 10 stars!
    diomede - Oh, where is this story going? I love the posing. It is hard training large animals inside. Hehe.
    Gopherus - another wacky wonderful render in this bizarre story! I love the Laughing Kookaburra hat. I agree with Renomista that it looks both Surreal and Expressionistic. 

    Thanks, Gopherus, Totte, purrkat, diomede, Chanteur-de-Vent (the happy old guy was Jack - I had to edit a bit just now to make that clear.)

    @luci45, your awesome soap opera story has more than 10 lines of text. I was surprised when I read that rule in the entries-only thread, so I trimmed my story to be short and sweet. We need Totte to say whether he is going to enforce the 10 lines rule or give some leeway. I have a short attention span when reviewing lots of entries sometimes, so it is kind of nice to have the text stories condensed to the bare essentials. You know, let the pictures say a thousand words, etc.

    Just to confirm the PM, I'm in for the usual.

    Let the games begin...!

    Pull #1:

    3683 - Dot Check
    646 - Colors for Viking Male Hair
    214 - A Quiet Repose
    5800 - The Youth Camp - Camper's Cabin
    4338 - Ibis for Victoria 3 (??)
    2397 - Beach Hair
    3571 - Severed Man (This could get interesting...!)
    4655 - Central Park - Twilight

    Now to figure out what all this crap is...!  (Victoria 3!?  Seriously!?)

    TAG: obanion#01

    Title: The New Scooby-Doo: Velma Gets Her Moment in the Sun

    (In which we pay homage to the previous RRRR theme, 'Sequels')

    <Image #1>
    Used in this image:
    Beach Hair
    Ibis for Victoria 3
    Central Park - Twilight
    Dot Check

    Also used:
    Stephanie 3 Petite (the Ibis morph and texture worked on her; who knew!?)
    Amiel Hair
    4 Style Square-Toe Pumps for V3/A3/S3
    Genesis 3 Female
    The Mystery Solver for Genesis 3 Female

    Moonshines Diner
    Moonshines Diner Interior (I and II)
    Diner Waitress for Genesis

    With Daphne and Freddie currently honeymooning in Aruba, and with Shaggy in rehab (again! -- and before he could finish the paint job on the new, improved Mystery Machine, too), Velma did not want to go it alone; so she found some help -- from Martin and Alexis (yep, they're back)!  They met at a diner on the outskirts of the city, and after a nice lunch, they all piled into the Mystery Machine and headed down the highway.  Their destination: the infamous Camp Crystal Lake....

    Oh crap. I thought it was 10 lines per image. That rule should be posted on the main page as well as the entries only. OK, I will trim away. 

    Are 10 lines the same on all computers? I have a large screen on my desktop and I think the lines are longer than on my laptop.

    No, the number of lines is not the same on all computers. When you adjust your browser window width, the forum re-wraps the text to fit. That is another issue with holding people to a number of lines. We need Totte to drop in and clarify this rule, if he intends to enforce it.

    Thank you, Gopherus, Chanteur-de-Vent, purrkat, barbult, and luci45 for your comments on mine.

    Without telling Diane, Michael bet the owner of the exclusive Baroque Club $100 million USD that his Bison could perform a full circus bear entertainment routine - or the customers could eat the bison. The jumps and barrel riding went flawlessly, and they all lived in the basement happily ever after.

    I looked at the "ten lines" and Luci still keep that on my screen, (but its wide). So I will update the info, 10 is maybe short for 3 images and ten per image is too long... so maybe a total of "about" 15 then, about.

    Oh dear. I'm having flashbacks of trying to find things that rhyme with "K4," "render," and "kilobyte." I'm not at my PC now, but go ahead and put me in the prize pot for my usual $20GC and I'll make my first pull when I get home.

    Thanks Diomede, Chanteur de Vent, Renomista, Purrkat, Luci45 for your comments. And I'm sure that it must have been a relaxing shoulder rub that Bruno was giving to ease the tension.  Marriages in the afterlife... probably, I mean that if you can marry a volcano or mountain in this one how can it be any worse in the next.  the laughing Kookaburra... well maybe she was laughing on the inside about his antics, when she knew all along that she would get her own way.  (PS. did Shakespeare say something about wearing a green hat on a thursday??)

    going from "leave a comment" box to posting seems to add 4 lines to the text but with editing I should be in the ball park

    @Diomede s Buffalo #2  Now currying a wet buffalo is REALLY going to be a chore!

    #3  The Buffalo pays for his own keep!  and I bet he puts out enough body heat in that confined basement to forgo the gas bill.  Nice story and images!  Well told!

    @Ken #1  Oh No!  infamous Camp Crystal Lake!!  Jason s favorite.  glad that Scooby Doo is still getting his adrenaline going on a weekly basis.  Good image and building suspense!  Will there be pizza this time or popcorn?
