@ Taig
When I read your post, I was offended until I saw "the" alias that you were using. :)The response to Kruelaid's post?
The response to Sharoth and the post after it.
First, about the sock:

I'm on to you. The oh-so-clever replacement of tildes with asterisks gives you away, dragon!
Then this:
The Taig wrote:The original is so good, it needs to be preceded by "The".I just saw '...it needs to be preceded by "The".' and until I noticed the "The" in "The Taig" it looked as if it were a post regarding the sock and that it might be referencing the "The" in my username. :)
It takes a lot out of a joke when you have to thoroughly explain it. :(
Ha!
Regarding explaining a joke: Don't I know it! :)
Wait, does that mean you really were referencing me and you are getting a further kick out of not explaining because I "appear" to be so oblivious as to make a joke out of it? I am onto you now.

All right folks, its late and I'm off to bed. Night all!
g'night
So far, the likelihood of getting hit head on by Hurricane Earl here in Hampton Roads is looking pretty good. Pretty good as in not likely. Just a lot of rain and probably sustained tropical force winds.
Cape Hatteras on the other hand...
With that, nite nite.

Good night! Glad to hear you're not going to get the worst of it.

I was a patron on another project (Coliseum Morpheum) and Steve put out a call for submissions. I pitched mine, he liked it, and that was that.
See, that time, my timing wasn't so disastrous. :)

Me too. I guess "The" usernames are just inherently better than plain ones, just like how "The" bands are better than plain-bellied Sneetches. Wait, am I mixing metaphors here?

It's "The University of Virginia" for a reason.

So you need to be a patron on at least one project to attract Steve (Russell?)'s notice? Maybe that's the secret... I've been trying to get in on Steve's projects for literally a year--even tried to get Hugo and Wolfgang to vouch for me--but I haven't had any success.

I think it's a matter of having only so much freelancer space available, he gives first preference to patrons. I suspect if he didn't get a response from patrons, it would go out as a general open call. This is all pure speculation on my part. of course.
So, were you looking to do writing or illustration?

Either one. I've technically got both in my portfolio already, what with my stuff for Wayfinder and Kobold Quarterly.

That's one state school where I'd happily take a job.
