I HAVE FOUND THE FLOATING CATS!

For those who remember the insane floating cats entries that I drew when I was eleven (part one and part two. PS: I made some of the images larger so they are easier to see, have cleaned up the entries a little to make them easier to read as well)...

I have the sequel.

I started writing a story when I was fourteen. It was the first long story that I ever wrote. I wrote it in a red checkered journal that blumsmile gave to me. It was typical Mary Sue stuff, all about how three friends were going to save the world through bizarre prophecies and super powerful gemstones. Well, this story eventually could not be constrained by the limits of the little red journal, and I ended up writing more in a regular size notebook. I can't find the red journal (I have it somewhere), but that's immaterial at the moment, because I've found the regular size notebook stuff, which is where the story really takes a crazy turn.

Yes, because of the Leethstone (an enchanted gemstone), the three (plus a boy, oh! four) intrepid explorers are now crossing from Plane to Plane. Each Plane is completely unique. Er, was completely unique to a fourteen year old, I mean. And eventually the characters stumbled right into Floating Cat Plane because I was determined to inflict---er, reuse the material, apparently. heh.

Actually I don't know how to proceed with this. I could do short excerpts from each Plane for a week or so, and then do the floating cats stuff as it was...I don't want to bore anybody, but there's some stuff that's even worse than floating cats. No lie.

Okay, so I'll do it the long way. Don't hate me.
