About a month ago, I took a big bite out of the art forum and over the past holidays I've been pondering on how to chew it all up. Going by @MrBendoodle's example I dared the artist community to submit their OC's for me to voice. Being used to the (lack of) activity on the VA forum, I expected three submissions at most. When I hit 25 in about a week, I posted a submission stop, to keep things manageable. When they still kept coming in, I asked a mod to lock the topic so as not to disappoint too many people. I am incredibly grateful - and slightly intimidated - by the huge amount of response!

What with New Year's resolutions and stuff, I decided to go about working all this out in a planned and controlled manner. Starting next week, I'm planning time each week to write and record for at least one of the submissions. I had great fun with the first two skits:

...and the exercise in writing, acting and sound design/production is really welcome. I'll tackle the submissions in whatever order I see fit (i.e. leaving the difficult ones for later, to keep the train running), but I'm determined to publish each and every one of them in the next half a year.

So @Gimpmastermind, @Sparkey10984, @Chipsoapart, @soopking64, @z0i, @BaconBob9000, @NxJ, @theorangeguydotjpg, @Techy621, @Azorat, @mrg19998, @LordDaviddoffski, @Lee33e, @MDL3wisAnimations, @ChromaCee, @MiskoMakesStuff, @Bluerasb3rry, @Skoops, @theslxl, @BlueKnightSkeleton, @EmanresuEvitaerc, @yixaline, @JBMINERLOL and @SmokingChameleon: keep your eyes peeled. You'll be next before you know it.

And @MaxyNorsky, @ProtoBeetle97 and @grassbud, although you were technically too late, I'll manage to squeeze you in there somewhere as well.

I will only update the forum post sporadically with a couple of new entries, if the mods allow me, so watch those notifications or just throw a dog a bone and follow me.

Thank you all! To be continued, and continued, and continued...
