To explain about Dragonloft... that's a forum that split off from the official Knights of the Dinner Table forum (some nasty forum politics happened there some years ago - long story). I have permission from Noah Chinn to use the Fuzzy Knights characters in my own stories - basically written fanfiction or webcomic-type stuff, as long as I don't claim Fuzzy Knights as my own or try to profit in any way.

So I've got a couple of fanfic stories in progress, and have been collecting stuffed toys to be the characters in what we call "home brew" Fuzzy Knights.

And to keep this vaguely on-topic, I do have some Fuzzy Knights smileys that were made many years ago (there are others, but not on my computer at the moment):

Huh. Well, I never even heard of either of these until now- but then again im ancient and don't really venture on the internet too much.

Is style of comics somewhat cartoonish? Tongue in cheek humour and such; maybe link to one of these comics is possible?

Okay, I've installed all the latest versions - the writer smilie needs a little fixing to the animation, and the link and click me smilies need a little adjustment for dark backgrounds, and then I'll be down to Geo's idea about faction leader animations until someone suggests something I'd rather do.

-I also notice that the Awards icon in the postbit and the Report button could use cleaning, but my access to the server is broken again, and I've no other way to replace those.

It's a webcomic that's done with photography. Those are real stuffed animals, and obviously the speech balloons are added later. http://www.kenzerco.com/images/periodicals/LARP/phpslideshow.php?directory=.&currentPic=11

Some parts of this webcomic were made in Japan, some in London, and some in Canada (wherever the creator happened to be living at the time). For some years the comics were published in Knights of the Dinner Table, a comic/RPG by Kenzer & Company (those people are absolutely disgusting pigs in some ways, which is why I'm reluctant to send anyone to their website to talk about FK... but since that's the only place I know where most of the strips are - besides my Photobucket account - so be it.).

If anyone's wondering, L.A.R.P. stands for "Live Action Role Playing" - a way developed for people to act out Dungeons & Dragons-type adventures live, but safely.

Okay,  :link: and  :clickme: were not a big deal.   :writer:, however, is fifty. nine. freekin'. frames., and I had to go through every. single. one. multiple. times. for over. three. hours.  I learned a great deal about how the replace function works in the process, but SHEESH!  That one was murder.

A tying on its phone smilie with the letters from the word "Tapatalk" appearing one at the time around it?

Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden. He drove out the man, and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
