I liked the last one. Pretty good.
The first one is kind of confusing, and the Ballet one was featured last issue I believe. Still, good job

#23 to #2 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

I'm glad you enjoyed them! The first one is about new demons that the mage has no power over. And you are correct - whoops - the ballet one shouldn't have been in this one. My mistake. Thanks for the catch!

Story idea Someone unintentionally summons demon/thing from another dimension. While in the past, these things were evil, time has passed for them too, and the modern generation of these beings are just as curious about human world as humans are of theirs. Cue worlds collide style adventure.

#6 to #3 - madvulcan ONLINE (10/17/2015) [-]

That could be a quite interesting story much longer than just two sentences.

#7 to #3 - yourdonutz ONLINE (10/17/2015) [-]

so basically Ushio to Tora? but with people

#8 to #7 - meatygoodness (10/17/2015) [-]

Damn it, I knew there had to be something similar already around.

#22 to #3 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

Interesting idea. I'll see what I can do. Thanks

#9 - horsefear (10/17/2015) [-]

I dont get 3?

#10 to #9 - meatygoodness (10/17/2015) [-]

Blind guy sees dead people/spirits with his "third eye" the spiritual eye supposedly on your forehead

#11 to #10 - horsefear (10/17/2015) [-]

**** , I meant 4 -.-

#14 to #11 - meatygoodness (10/17/2015) [-]

Or maybe it got lost in its own maze and couldn't find food, so it kicked the bucket while it was still a hatchling. I think it's maybe some sort of metaphor about perceived threat; people fear the dragon when they really should be fearing the endless maze it was also trapped in

#15 to #14 - horsefear (10/17/2015) [-]

This one makes more sense! I like it

#24 to #14 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

Thank you! You beat me to it. This one has a lot to do with both perception of threat but also with neglect. It's a lot more about my boyfriend's parents than I'd care to admit.

#27 to #24 - meatygoodness (10/17/2015) [-]

I hope everything's alright with the poor guy. I hope he didn't starve as a hatchling in a maze too

#28 to #27 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

HA! Not quite thankfully!

#29 to #28 - meatygoodness (10/17/2015) [-]

Always good to hear! In all seriousness though, you write all of these? I love 'em, just enough to intrigue or imagine up some bigger picture around a couple sentences.

#30 to #29 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

Awh! You flatter me!
Yes I write every single one haha. I know I still have a long ways to go on developing my craft but I think I'm getting better with each batch. Personally, I love the two sentence media for both artistic and pragmatic reasons and you hit the nail on the head - I'm only ever trying to create glimpses into these worlds but still make each of them feel like self contained stories. I do write longer stuff too but sharing it gets complicated so for now I've been sticking to these. Glad you like them!

#31 to #30 - meatygoodness (10/17/2015) [-]

I wish I had more skill writing/drawing; though I know it's mainly practice that helps, I don't have much time to myself these days unfortunately, I'd love to get back into story writing myself.

I digress anyway; I like the fact that you could pretty much build an entire story around any one of these, always looking forward to more!

#32 to #31 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

If I can manage it - anyone can do it. It's about trying and wanting to. I always encourage people to try it because it really is amazing for you as a person. If you don't mind a bit of shameless self promotion consider entering the two sentence story contest I'm hosting it ends tomorrow . But ultimately do it for yourself. I'm glad you like my stuff! In October I'll be posting Wednesdays and Fridays!

#12 to #11 - meatygoodness (10/17/2015) [-]

Terrified prisoners are cast into the labyrinth of the dragon, known for containing a thousand year old dragon that eats whoever ventures into it's maze.

Once they get down there, presumably after wandering for a while, they find the bones of the dragon, that had starved a long long time ago because someone forgot to ******* feed it, Jerry

#13 to #12 - horsefear (10/17/2015) [-]

So it's a joke? Because I thought it was supposed to be horror of some kind.
I should probably go to sleep.

#16 to #13 - meatygoodness (10/17/2015) [-]

I wouldn't know, that's just my interpretation of it. Go sleep dude, dreams are rad.

Pic unrelated

#25 to #16 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

Love the picture.

#26 to #13 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

Sometimes I write dark humor but honestly I feel that story was more sad than anything else.

#34 - ygdosst ONLINE (10/17/2015) [-]

>That first one
I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.

#36 to #34 - lobstersamurai ONLINE (10/17/2015) [-]

Is . . is there a source with that?

#37 to #36 - ygdosst ONLINE (10/18/2015) [-]

Just google Zaela by Ackanime.
Links work weird on my phone.

#5 - mattymc (10/17/2015) [-]

1) I dont get it
2) i dont get it
3) i dont care
4) Ha!
5) Um ok then, good for her
6) good setup, more needed

#21 to #5 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

1. New demons have been made in Hell and the mage has no protections against them.
2. Wind up box controls time and the intern whose job it was to wind it almost fell asleep permanently.
3. Not for everyone.
4. I find it incredibly sad. I like dragons
5. Hurricane as a result of increased environmental damage
6. Check out the other stories in the same microcosm the plot develops a bit more in the Society.

The man clawed and stabbed at his ears, trying all he could to stop the raging trumpets but to no avail. It was too late, the blaring noise had already summoned the herald of destruction and HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!!

#18 to #17 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

You have no idea how many times I wrote one of these and write in John Cena as a joke befote replacing it with a monster.

#19 to #18 - lobstersamurai ONLINE (10/17/2015) [-]

John Cena in and of itself has grown beyond that of a man!

One of those was actually the premise of a movie from a few years back. It was called the Skeleton Key. Pretty good movie.
The one about switching bodies. Spoiler'd in case anyone wanted to watch it.

#20 to #4 - btschweitzer [OP](10/17/2015) [-]

LOVED Skeleton Key. I remember it being one of the few that got me. Truthfully didn't think of it when I was writing that one but I wouldn't mind writing a few others about it now.
