As a sidenote: this was where I was planning on taking the story before Perch X made her glorious return to usā¦ weāll just assume that this all happened before and that is how Perch X came to be back with usā¦K???:winkgrin:

I am all over massaging reality for personal gain. :yes:
Spoken like a true writer. I was told that you are to never let the truth get in the way of a good story. :lol:
[QUOTE=Risk-Averse Rider;2667603]
The Geek is right - Knowing that Perch X is back is not enough. We still have to know HOW she got back.
She just appeared and said, āWell, the show season finished, so I came back.ā
But thatās because either (a) sheās been brainwashed or (b) sheās been threatened by her kidnappers.
We need to know the REAL story.
And horse-loverz is JUST the person to tell us.

I have devoted most of my internet time for the past four days to reading this thread. Now Iām hooked! Iām also perpetually stuck halfway through since yāall keep adding. Some day Iāll get this farā¦maybe to the end. Keep it up. This is fantastic!

Me cheering for stick artists!
Edited to add: Okay, so I need practice.
GypsyQ, the trick to stick art is getting the spacing right. You have to use _ underscores or . periods to space items out. Using the space bar does not work.
Then you go back and change the color of the extra marks to white so they do not show up. It is not always easy to get it right!
Excellent first effort. :yes: I added a few pom poms. Just because I am a plagarist at heart. 
WELCOME GYPSY Q!!!

Welcome GypsyQ
The trick to lining up the stick art is to use spacers, but not the space key (which can be used once in a while to align things) - you can see on the āquoteā copies most of us use the _____ as the spacer, then highlight the spacer line and change the color to white. I often use āpreview postā before āsubmit replyā to see if things are lined up and then I can correct mistakes - have fun with it - hope to see some more art from you soon :yes:
oooooo, I edited myself because I didnāt like the way what I said sounded - and h-l caught me! I wonder how often that happens?
Iām so SLOWā¦
[quote=DressageGeek āRibbon Hoā;2667509]But I was just about to askā¦how did we save Perch X from whoever absconded with her???

Back on page 153, I pontificated about Zenoās Dichotomy Paradoxā¦ now, it is time to pontificate about Zenoās Paradox regarding swift-footed Achilles and the Tortoise (aka, You Can Never Catch Up).
And Fixerupper has most fortuitously provided me with a tortoise so that I can illustrate my pontification :lol:
(You can also read about it here, but thereās no stick art: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenoās_paradoxes#Achilles_and_the_tortoise)
Achilles & the tortoise are ready to start their race. Because Achilles is so much faster (and a good sport), he has given the tortoise a head start.
-
<|_,
_/_(_)/o>
______________________" "
The race begins. Achilles quickly reaches the spot where the tortoise started. But in that time, the tortoise has moved on.
_______________________-
_______________________<|________,
______________/_()/o>
_______________________________" "
Achilles runs some more, and once again reaches the spot where the tortoise was. Butā¦ once again, the tortoise is not there!!!
_________________________________-:eek:
________________________<|_,
__________________________________/_()/o>
_____________________________________" "
And again, with the same result!!
_______________________________________-:mad:
______________________________________<|_,
___________________________________/_()/o>

Achilles gets closer and closer each time, but [B]he can never catch the tortoise!!!
[/B]Hereās hoping GypsyQ has better luck with the end of this thread, which, unlike the tortoise, is not in constant motion
