Thanks for the responses guys. It means a lot to me. Well, now that our biggest problem has been identified (communication), we need to take some steps to solve it. Here's my idea: We create another thread for this project, one that's password-protected, so that the staff can discuss ideas freely and openly without worrying about the peeping eyes of the public. Hopefully DJP or Darkesword can hook us up with one. What do you guys reccomend? Should I tighten up email regulations? Do I need to crack down on people who haven't shown up yet? (Should I bribe ya'll? )

Hmm.. March has been a crippling month for everyone. To my understanding next to nothing has been done for this project. Believe me, I've felt the crippling effects myself. My life's divided between 7 academic subjects, after-school sports, and String Quartet. Less than 12 hours of my week actually goes to my leasure time (storybook, message boards, website), which is becoming more of a chore in itself. My weekend consists of at least 30 hours of sleeping to catch up from my 4-5 hour weeknight sleep. Spring break has arrived and I've slept at least 10 hours of every night so far. If anyone understands the plight of our art team, it's me. Don't think I've wanted this to happen. In fact I'm kicking myself for letting it get so bad. I could have been more active in the project, I could kept in regular contact with all the artists, surely that's something doable right? It isn't. The fact is that when I send out emails to the entire art staff, I hear back from less than half of them. Worse yet, my latest request for a headcount went virtually unnoticed. Frankly, we lack centralization, and it's killing us. The Kirby Storybook Project, unlike any other remix project so far, can't function as a group of individual, isolated staff members doing their own thing and compiling it into an album. This isn't just music, it's an interactive experience that requires constant communication between the staff to make a truely amazing product. Thus we have the problem: How can 2 people bring together 20 people and get them to become vocal and active in a project without any monetary or legally binding ties, and across great distances no less? Fandom. Fandom is what inspired Arek to start this project, and fandom is what has brought all our current staff in. Certainly fandom can be the uniting force that gets this project back on it's feet and helps it dash to the goal. So fellas, it's make or break time. Are we just going hide in a corner and give up, or are we going to finish this project?

Hey guys, currently it's my spring break. If it's anyone else's please report in (reply). I need to know who can get to work. Also, Hock needs a few pictures of piano keys shot at weird angles in order to complete the Nova collage he's working on. Does anyone know where to find some or have the resources to make one?

WAKE UP CALL! LET'S GET THIS PROJECT MOVING AGAIN!!! Art = 70% Writing = 0% Arek we have to get started on writing right away.

Ooo.. avatar thread. Could always use more Kirby ones..

Whether that was intentional or not... *falls off chair laughing*

Be understanding Arek, the DS Lite has completely sold out and.. well.. the DS Dark still remains.

Me neither.. usually. >.> I've had no luck finding a new artist. Hemo could probably do it actually, but I haven't heard from him in a month. Where is he?

Updated Storybook: http://www.kwarp.com/storage/demo2.html *long sleep*

I'm looking for an artist who can make two pages of art in this highly refined, blurry style: aka Detail Shots Why am I looking for art like this? That's a secret.

I haven't been on the internet for 3 days. ;_; To make up for my absence: Nova Appears Inside Nova <3 Google Video I'm going to do as much as I can this 3-day weekend. I've written a list even.

Taucer FTW! I've been recording a couple AVI movies from KSS for reference for the more cutscenish moments of MWW. I have to say, no matter how many times I play though Kirby Super Star, it's always a freaking blast! The clips will be up on Google Video shortly.

Oh man, I'm so glad this got onto OCRemix. Totally deserves it. Proud to have you on the music team Taucer! ~KWarp EDIT: Oh yeah he did didn't he? <(; )>

Oh goodness no! Hock had no idea what he was doing. XD Arek, we gotta chat. Also, Neo, have you done anything with the Metaknight incorporation past those storyboards?

;[ K, it comes down like this. Upon a quick Google search, Watkinzez simply turns up a series of message boards he visits. Boy was I surprised when he drew up this. Seems you can't always trust Google. Sam's shown me a couple of works he's made. He's proven himself capable, and I look forward to seeing some comic work EDIT: He sent me them just now. All I can say is WHOA AWESOME. Can't show it here for spoiler reasons. Sorry I've been so vague and mysterious this week. <(; )> A lot of my admin duties have been handled internally with recruiting new art staff, so I've been pretty busy. I swear I'll have a new storybook version up by the end of next week at absolute latest. One More Thing.

School Dance dude. I would like to welcome Watkinzez and Sam (nickname: olie!) to the comic art team!! It's a lot of comic work, so I figure two artists will make things all the better. More details will be revealed when I actually have some damn time. Honestly my life has never been busier these last 2 weeks. >_<

I've been working on my admin duties quite a bit this week despite having waaaay too much homework. There are a couple of applicants so far who seem to be quite skilled. I'll have an official announcement of who won sometime tomorrow. Tonight I've got my school's Winter Formal to prepare for.

You guys are weird. Oltri: I see an empty album. Arek: IT'S ON!!! HELL YEAHZ!!!

I am here, yet Arek is not... hmm

Hmm.. I would say not immediately. Once some work has been done with the writing (and everyone has some job security =P), then we'll start thinking about that. Egh, I know the feeling. One extra class this semester too, and after-school sports don't help. =\ EDIT: Nothing happened at VGF. ;_;

I'll start getting to work on the Storybook again. Expect something by Sunday if my week isn't too stressful.

Echoing what Arek said. Thanks for checking in guys (+ Oltri).

I think I remember why I originally set the WIP deadline for the 9th... .. I have finals all this week. ; -Cyan's on time -Neo's on time -CareFree Captain is late and has been out of contact -G Man is late EDIT: but has turned in his WIP. -Oltri is late and has been in contact. Shame on you. ;[ My time on these boards this week will be sparse, if any.

I appreciate the offer, but you don't seem 100% confident in your drawing and technical abilities, so I'll have to decline. I'll be sure to contact you if something comes up.

I would like to welcome Rexy to the art team.
