Ever love an avatar so much you'd turn nerdy for it?

[Jibo Phoenix]

I'm currently very fond of my avatar. I haven't felt this way about my avatar since I first start AT and I was the bucktoothed pixie. I feel like I need avatar art, a name, and a story for her. But the odd thing is most of the time I dislike "original characters" people make since it's a little too D&D for me. But I feel the need with this avatar! *feels dirty and nerdy*

-Ever have an avatar you wanted to name and give a backstory to?
-Anyone do stories outside of rating threads?

I kinda do that in my head with all of my avatars.. it makes them more fun and personal.

HEY. What is wrong with D&D? gonk xd I've never really thought like that about an avatar. Although sometimes if I think about entering it into the arena I try to imagine what'd I write as a story for a description. But it's all in my head like Tassium. Does that count?

When I love an avatar I get art, but no urge for the others.  

[MabTheQueenMTG]

When I get like that... Which happens often enough... I keep the avatar for a week or two... Sometimes I'll write a good long story for it (see Senile Poison's journal.) ... And I'll roam around the art freebies forum...

I also had a thread in the AT specifically for writing short stories...
When I'm less busy, maybe I'll revive it... Or remake it now that I'm on this account. XD

I think I visited your short story thread, I liked it very much. Though everytime I put the crow on my head, people write more about him then me *envious of the crow*

Can't say that I have. If I like a particular avi, I'll usually have it up for a couple of days. Then I get new ideas and change.

I think the last avi that I got anywhere near that was prolly last year sometime when I made something of an angelic CIA agent ( rolleyes this was back when the only thing close to angel wings was the angelbow). It did surprising surprisingly well in the arena too surprised

What do you mean turn nerdy? =P

If there's one I really like... I save it... and.. possibly wear it and upgrade if for almost a year. <<

i felt like that about my halloween avi
but i couldn't bring myself to write your typical "it was a dark and stormy night" story
it was just too passe emo
i whore up the art freebies thread big time tho when i get an avi love interest.

I was kinda obsessed with the christmas avatar I made this year..which is in the arena this week...

Thats what I usually do when I absolutley adore an avatar.. just drop it in the arena.. Although what I'm really doing is wasting 1k because the arena sucks as everyone knows.. I just changed from that outfit today..  

[Enkyubus]

Seems to happen more and more to me each day. Well the getting stuck in an outfit part, not the going geeky/nerd for it. <.< Was already one to begin with. ;D I'm just losing what little I had left of my AT muse. I can't keep up with the AT of today. I don't have the items for it. xd

Ohm ghee, that's adorable ! heart

Nah, I tend to hate my avvies more than like them. I <3 my tekteks, tho.  

[LiciousEmber]

I've felt like I wanted art.... But not the background story kinda thing. I never like to write stories when a topic is given to me. Sure, it's easier, but not as creative. For me. But i DO like your avi! whee
