Athos Posted February 14, 2005 Hey all, As promised, the first installment of my latest story. I thought I'd try my hand at a little bit of romance mixed with adventure.

ApophisV Posted February 14, 2005 Can't say much about the storyline yet, but I love this lime green half-timbered house!!!! :oD *wub* I can remember that there were some looking exactly like yours in my home town in south germany.... I wish I were there again.... :') Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos Posted February 17, 2005 but I love this lime green half-timbered house!!!! Thanks. I picked up a bunch of 1 x 2 lime green bricks from PaB. I like how it turned out. Can't say much about the storyline yet Not much there yet is there? I'm realizing there is a lot of setting up to be done before getting to the heart of the story. I'm thinking this one might be a little long. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolf04 Posted February 17, 2005 I don't understand by downtown Romania. What city is it? I'm not familiar with this place. P.S. I am from Romania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos Posted February 17, 2005 I don't understand by downtown Romania. What city is it? I'm not familiar with this place.P.S. I am from Romania Its just kind of a light joke. Since Romania isn't a town, but rather a country, there can't be a downtown Romania. It was just an easy, and I was hoping humerous, way for me to avoid really pinning myself down to any specific locale. These stories aren't real big on historical, geographical, or scientific accuracy, just like the 1930s serial adventures, they are trying to emulate. ;) There are gypsies in Romania though, right? Steve P.S. Speaking of gypsies, yet entirely off topic, anyone read Thinner by Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ApophisV Posted February 17, 2005 P.S. Speaking of gypsies, yet entirely off topic, anyone read Thinner by Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King)? Even more off-topic: Nope... But I started reading.... *searches the original title*... Firestater... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athos Posted March 13, 2005 Sorry for the long delay with the next installment, but I've hit a patch of real busy-ness with school and a bit of writer's block too. So the story has really stalled. I've been holding these 4 in reserve because I figured this would happen. Anyhow here are the next four scenes (including a first kiss *wub* ). I hope you like them: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg017.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg018.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg019.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg020.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg999.jpg The whole story: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=116716 Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos Posted March 17, 2005 Well I had hoped to have this story finished by now, and be started on a new St. Patrick's Day one, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. (This story is turning out to be a lot longer than I'd anticipated... but then of course it is like two stories in one :), I sure hope it is worth it.) Anyhow, now that I've aired my frustrations with the creative process a bit, I present the next installment: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg021.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg022.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg023.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg024.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg999.jpg The whole gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=116716 Hope you like it, Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athos Posted March 19, 2005 Very cool! But you said "an farmhouse" Oh crap! And its so hard to change the text when its embedded as part of the pics. I'm feeling lazy and probably won't change it. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athos Posted March 21, 2005 Well since this week is spring break, and since I am not going anywhere for it :( I figure I can finish, or at least get very close to finishing, this latest adventure. So here are the next four scenes: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg025.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg026.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg027.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg028.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg999.jpg The whole gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=116716 Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve I actually haven't read the first one, and I think I missed the ending of the 2nd, but I read most of the second (at least I'm pretty sure it was most at least a lot) and I'm reading that over. ~Dylan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos Posted April 2, 2005 No, its not an April Fool's Day joke, I really do have four more parts for you enjoyment. They are full of action packed goodness. Hope you like them.

Athos Posted April 16, 2005 The next four additions, which burns through all the ones I was holding in reserve. Guess I'd better get writing and photographing again. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg033.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg034.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg035.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg036.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg999.jpg The whole story: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=116716 Hope you like it, Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos Posted April 25, 2005 Hey all, Here is the latest four additions to the story. There might be a bit of a hiatus after this, as it is finals time again. *wacko* Though I would estimate that it is nearing, if not already on, the downward slope to resolution... or at least I hope so. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg037.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg038.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg039.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg040.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg999.jpg The whole gypsy-tacular story: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=116716 Hope you are continuing to like it, Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athos Posted May 30, 2005 Well its been a long time coming, but I've finally gotten around to making some more scenes for you all. I decided I'd better get around to finishing this story soon, or I never will (and besides I'm running out of gypsy adjectives :D). I'm hoping the story will pick up speed a bit from here on out, and at 48 parts (so far) it is already longer than the other two. So it had better pick up some steam... http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg045.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg046.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg047.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg048.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Athos/Ad...ies/kotg999.jpg The whole gypsy-pendous story: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=116716 Hope you like it, Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
