Good story and pics. Like the mention of Thunder's allergies, I feel his pain. How'd you get Rock 'n Rool's arms to bend the way they did?

I thought the allergies was a nice touch too. The setting, though, steals the show.
The background info is always helpful.

With MOST of the 25th/MA figures, I cut the biceps. So far, I've only destroyed 2 figures (the DD-shirtless-oriented Stormy and a ROC Pit Commando) cuz I've got too far. When I get a figure, I always check whether the figure is/has
-symmetrical (they aren't leaning to one side, things line up, etc)
-loose joints
-elbow articulation
-able to hold a weapon

The snake eyes is NOT a custom. It's the all-black City Strike SE...

I try to make things more personal for the characters. Just little things. Thunder's allergies is just an example. Clutch's gut (that's an NCIS thing). Zap can't shoot a gun worth a damn. It's just something I try to do in the dios but it's hard in there to fit all that I really want in. So I experimented with a prose story with pictures that would, in theory, only enhance the reading. I believe General Scarlet and I have talked about doing something like this years ago (not a duo effort, just the concept).

And you all can tell that the pictures go together and trying to tell that story in the Photos section would break the cap rules AND it's must easier to read this way.

So for those interested, this IS one way on how to use the forums to tell a short dio (as opposed to making us go thru flickr, photobucket and even our own PHotos section). The key is that you need to host the photos somewhere (I use photobucket) and then simply slam dunk the img code here.



Thanks all for reading. I enjoyed being able to tell a fanfic/diostory in this format.

you can slap a dio story togehter before i can even begin a dio I've been replanning for months :D

Well done Graham.........I've thought of doing this as well........now that you've 'opened the floodgates' as it were........hmmmmmm

Very good pictures, but I would like the storitelling on the picture, better then over it.

It's definitely a good way of storytelling. The images are of key moments in the story. The text can be more descriptive and we get to use our imaginations more while reading. Reminds me of the text & pic stories that were in the Action Force Yearbooks.

Great character selection and photography... classic!
