HELP ME FIND A MISSING FRIEND [link]

Fanart ideas, if you ever feel inclined [link]

Ooooh boy am I in trouble, kids.

Recently, the darling wonderful whose gallery you should check out RIGHT NOW gave me a link. Now I've seen some pretty scary stuff on this series of tubes, but that link and what she said made my blood run cold...

"[link] You should totally try this."

...

"What's the big deal, Megacrotch?" you ask, "You're ubertalented and funny and this should be a fun little exercise, right?" Well it may be that I'm ubertalented and funny, but you failed to consider my CRIPPLING FEAR OF FAILURE into the equation

Even worse, the darling wonderful whose gallery you should check out RIGHT NOW gave me TWO MORE contest links: A Create-Your-Own Princess [link] and a Refurbish an Old Poem [link] one. It's stupidly inadequate to say that my crippling fear of failure, in the face of such delightful and bold opportunity, made me hide under my bed for a few hours until I discovered I was stuck under there, requiring a few more hours of extrication and a mothering fuckload of swearing.

So yeah, this is the part where you all heap reassurances upon me and tell me it'll be alright and I should go for it and yada yada yada. Have at me, then.


UPDATE UPDATE!!!!!!
Okay, so I was talking with the darling wonderful whose gallery you should check out RIGHT NOW (noticing a pattern?) on MSN and she found this journal entry. Here's what she had to say:

"Fear of failure? Well don't be afriad to write something bad. It's a learning experience. I've drawn bad pictures, I've never won a contest. It's all to better yourself as an artist or for you a writer. You can't be afriad to fail or you'll never do anything in life. Take chances, make mistakes. Yes thats said a lot, but it's true."

And, well, she's right, dammit. And good thing she said it, because the heaped reassurances weren't exactly forthcoming Now comes the tricky part of sitting down and actually brainstorming ideas for these babies and get them put together before the deadlines...


UPDATE!!!
Alright, been kicking this idea around for a while but I decided to post my list of current and future projects that are in the works. Feel free to poke me and ask "That one sounds interesting, what's it about?" as it'd give me something else to do other than stare fruitlessly at Word trying to write these Listed next to each entry is a letter: P for prose, and C for a comic script.
