Stacey Makes It

So, if you saw my last silly post , you'd know that I've given up using copyrighted, non-licenseable characters.  Here is one of the new characters I'll be using until my custom action figure from thatsmyface.com arrives in the mail. I hope to one day make these into children's books, so if you have any suggestions or feedback, lay it on me. :) I hope you enjoy this. And if you have kids, maybe they have feedback too? Also, this "reads" better if you click on the first image and view it via the picassa image viewer, because then it's like every photo gets its own page and it feels more like a picture book.  The end Director's commentary : This wasn't actually what I had planned, but my reaction was pretty similar to Manny's when I dropped my little horsie and the tail fell off.  :) And props to the boyfriend for coming up with the idea for "the end."

"Lucasfilm makes the coolest stuff! I can't believe they'd send something like this!" Ackbar said excitedly. "Ooh, what is it?" Lizzie asked. "Only one way to find out," Ironman grinned, staring down at the shiny ball that emerged from the dispenser. Ironman gasped as he saw the horror that the capsule contained. "You're killing me, Ironman! What is it?!" shrieked Ackbar. "It can't be that bad... can it?" questioned Spidey, his voice full of worry...

Lizzie and I decided to take a little trip into the city.  We had heard BART was an interesting experience, so we went to the nearest station.  Little did we know that the journey would be fraught with danger. Still, we had heard many good things about this beautiful city by the bay, so despite the threats to our safety, we waited patiently for a train to arrive. And waited... We thought perhaps there was some sort of sensor that might need to be triggered by a larger entity to make the train come, so we decided to hitch a ride in what we heard was called a "hoodie."   The ride into the city was long and arduous.  Lizzie and I passed the time by staring out the window. I asked our hoodie if it would be much longer.  He said he wasn't quite sure, but that he was getting hungry. I took that as a warning and tried to keep my distance. When our hoodie got off the train and finally stopped, we appeared to be on some sort of platform.  Lizzie sa...
