My Super First Day - WhisperThe First Day
It began with a dream.
I had been reading Edwin A. Abbott's "Flatland" before bed.  Rereading it, I first encountered it years ago.  The inhabitants of Flatland are unable to see outside their two-dimensional world; the Sphere is able to appear and disappear at will by moving in and out of the Flatland plane, stupefying its denizens with his paranormal ability.
My mind went over and over it.  I imagined moving away from the world, moving out and away from the people around me.  Back and forth, sliding in and out of reality, helplessly tossed by some u My Super First Day - Whisper

The Folly of Wendelin the Elf"You don't think there's anything ironic in selling us logs, when you disallow the cutting of trees?"
"It's not that we disallow the cutting of trees.  It's that we don't want irresponsible humans doing it."
"Oh, really?  It's so tough to figure out how to cut a tree?"
"How many decades have you studied the forest?"
"What?"
"How many?  Our current logging-master was apprenticed for a century and has spent seven decades overseeing the forest since then.  We don't want anyone to become a Wendelin."

15 Feature Showcase thing

Sat Jun 6, 2009, 8:59 AM

So,

did this interesting thing...I don't really do these meme/chain letter things, but for some reason this one appeals to me.

I went ahead and edited the rules a bit so they'd be clearer...

1. If you comment on this entry and you're one of the 14 first people to comment, I will add you to the Promotional List. The first person on the Promotional List is *karla-chan since I got it from her.
2. For each of those people on the Promotional List, I will showcase their avatar and the three deviations I like most from their gallery.
3. If you comment with the intent to be showcased, you'll have to do the same on your journal, putting me on the first place in your Promotional List.

Promotional List

1.

Steampunk Mecha
Drisimi Background
Drisimi in the Underdark BG

However, I'm having a little trouble figuring out how best to showcase these things. Does anyone know an easy way to show thumbnail pictures in a journal entry?
