It's a dark night, and you're walking down a deserted alleyway.

Creepy, right? Well, not really. After all, not many people mug penguins. But you still have a reason to feel fear: not many penguins go strolling down dark alleyways, after all. 

But then you hear it. A tiny squeak, a muffled step. You know there's someone there, and they're out to get you. Waddling faster to get away, the quiet sounds of a follower amplify slowing, speeding up with you.

The road is ten metres away. Nine. Eight. Seven.

But then you stop. You didn't try to. But someone has you by the flipper, and they aren't letting go. Letting out a fearful squawk, you try to wriggle free, but to no avail.

You slowly turn around, and you are met with your greatest fear: It's a penguin smuggler. The vile failure of a human that devotes their life to killing and stuffing penguins. And now he's come for you...

(Excerpt from the in-progress "Mr. Squawk's the Name. The UN is my Game.")

***

James Janzen is a rather odd author who spends his time doing homework, writing stories about alien penguins and the UN, and making a few random FanFictions for books on Wattpad. (Purposely bad, of course. Otherwise there'd be no point... Mangling works of art is wonderfully fun)

There may also be a few SFSD's (Aptly procrastinated on, of course) thrown into the entire mix.

Current projects:

1) Birthday present for the amazing@Parogar , involving - of course - my wonderful alien penguins.
2) SFSD 6.0, being aptly procrastinated on
3) Mr. Squawk's the Name. The UN is my Game. (Working title)
4) Birthday present for the wonderful@Raneko_chan , involving - of course - my wonderful alien penguins. A FanFiction of a FanFiction? I can hardly wait...

Shoutout to Parogar (Shhhh don't tell him I sent this) whose birthday is on MONDAY. Yeah that's right. MONDAY. Which is why you should all check out Psych Investigation Episodes (an AMAZING and FUNNY Science Fiction) on Amazon. The first book is currently ON SALE for FREE and the SECOND BOOK is only 2.99! Sooooo yeah. Check it out. Seriously.

Sounds fun. So, I'll make up some code and give it to you. Keep in mind I'm a bit rusty as I haven't been doing much HTML for a while... actually since the last project we did together, I believe. Can I have your email? It's kinda awkward to paste a ton of code into Wattpad.
Hey James, it's Sierra. I've updated some books onto this account and I'd like for you to create the advert for the User-Generated Contest thread. Use code, and look at the books so you know what basic information to include. I'd include most of the stuff from "How It Works" in Basic Knowledge. :) 

Happy coding!

P.S. Yep, we're female, if you check out our profile. Sorry. But we're majorly female, so there. Majority rules.

All right guys. You know that AMAZING chat bar at the bottom? The one I've probably used to talk with you - yes you, random person in the stereotypical white shirt - before? 

WELL GUESS WHAT. IT'S LEAVING.

This means NO MORE:

1) Being able to tell when people are online
2) Getting those awesome instantaneous updates
3) Being able to chat LIVE and easily
4) Just... you know... the plain amazingness.

So, in order to compensate for this terrible loss, I am now going to begin chatting incessantly with people though PMs. Feel free to message me through PM too ^_^
