Here's a clip from youtube of someone trying to sell a toy model of the God Phoenix, who supplies a very summarized description of the 5 team members! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSZGWI8rztU

Ummmm..... that store is really close by to my work.... now I'm wondering what they're charging for it... But yes, I LOVED the description of the characters! Makes me hope that they don't know how much that thing is worth.

Yes, where did he come up with peacock for Keyop?

He did a pretty good Keyop imitation, though...

True, he did. I guess we have to assume that, according to this guy, Mark is the handsome one and Jason is the rogue. Poor Jason -I think he's handsome too. TJ, let us know if you end up buying it!

Great find lborgia!!! I would really like to know how you guys find the time to find all these links and sites. I feel like I barely have time to catch up on everything that is going on and do some writing .... and yet you find time to do searches. Not complaining, really, I love what everyone manages to find. I just don't know how you do it.

My part-time bookkeeping gig (or, more recently, doing my taxes) keeps me in front of a computer a lot. However, I have a bad habit of frequently delving into the internet when I really should be doing other things. But, I'm getting a big tax refund this year!

LOL, I have the same problem! I'm always tooling around online.... that's why my fic writing is so much more productive when I write by hand for the first draft...

Wow, you write out your first drafts by hand? I didn't have a word processor until I started writing my Master's thesis, and at first it was so hard to compose on screen, but now I really don't know if I could do it on paper anymore! (Plus, my handwriting has seriously deteriorated over the years...)

Well, I used to do it all on computer, but that was before I became addicted to all of these Gatch sites, and when I had more time at home to work. Lately, I've had more snippets of time, and I've started taking a notebook with me wherever I go. I've been scribbling in some very strange places, but making a lot more progress on ym fics than when I write exclusively on the computer. Once I have the first draft down by hand, it's pretty fast to type it up and revise it into a second draft as I go.

I really have trouble writing in snippets. I need a fair amount of time, without distractions, to focus. Right now, my boyfriend's out of town, so I'm drinking wine and bouncing between here, facebook, and an angsty, confrontational Jun/Ken scene for my latest fic-in-the-works.

Ooh... I think I know what that scene is, too.... I HAVE to write in snippets. I just don't get uninterrupted hours anymore... sigh....

ITA TJ... I do some writing by hand and some on the computer...depends on if I have to wait around some where etc...

Do tell more...Ebony leans over Iborgia's shoulder just to take a peak...

It's coming along. There's just a couple more scenes to go. But when it's done, I'm swearing off angst for a good long while. It's so draining to write.

But angst is soooo much fun.....

Yes, I'll admit I like to wallow in angsty fics, but this one is being... difficult. Still, it could be far worse. I was poking through some old files recently, and I came across this old gif that I really related to when I was trying to finish my dissertation.

Oooh.... I like that one! Very apropos! But FWIW, I know whatever work you put into your angst will all be worthwhile.
