Quick update: I am still working on the GiP website. Got held up with a lot of poo poo last week so I didn't make as much progress. Gonna get a little bit of free food on today, then will be back to work.

OK man. For what it's worth everyone is pretty happy with the mobile/desktop compatibility of google hangouts. I hope you like writing apps for ios and android!

In all seriousness, neat.

I don't believe in anything, I'm just here for the violence.
I'm cross posting this from the Vet thread because I think it kind of fits here as well. If you guys feel it's making GBS threads up this thread I will remove it:

I've had an idea kicking around in my head for awhile to start a charity/nonprofit for veterans with PTSD and other emotional issues that facilitates them writing. Writing Therapy has been around for a long time, and has been shown to help in some cases or at the very least help support other treatments. Basically the organization would collect all of the stories (fiction, non-fiction, scifi, fantasy, romance, whatever), collect them in an anthology, and get it published. The big problem is that I know nothing about the publishing industry.

However, what I do have are contacts in the Comic Book industry (Big 3 industry, not a local press). What is your opinion of doing basically the same thing, only now we would connect vets with comic artists (or writers with vet artists I guess) to tell their stories in a more visual form, and then publish them in a digital anthology? I'm not sure if comics have ever been used in writing therapy before, but I certainly don't think it could hurt.

Would something like that interest any of you, or someone you know?

I wouldn't worry about sponge I see him all the time. He's not gonna Sadpanda out on us. We're both actually perfectly normal and happy stable dudes living alright lives. :)

Thanks for caring though, blows my mind that anyone would give a poo poo if I lived or died, because I still laugh out loud IRL about Cuntmuffins dead grandma. :lol:

And I stopped actually being truly crazy long ago and it's been a long con troll for me ever since.

Though when I was going through the divorce I did appreciate the goons who hung out or smoked out with me.

I actually live somewhere pretty nice as does Spongebob, very close by, and we both have women living with us to keep us from going completely feral.

So we're at very very low risk of suicide or self harm believe it or not, there's fellow vet dudes we both check up on periodically to make sure they're ok, ironically. :)

Most group therapy options offer a journaling/story-writing component, and StoryCorps does animated recreations of vet stories. Some vets would gain from seeing their story illustrated by a legit artist, as it can aid in dissociating the emotional component once it's abstracted into someone else's art. Some vets would gain from putting that kinesthetic component of drawing into their recollection and having control over how it's portrayed.

Speaking from experience in watching misguided nonprofits, if you want to make it a viable nonprofit with therapeutic potential, make sure to balance contribution between storytellers and artists and get an experienced therapist involved. If you just want a cool anthology of war story comics to share and not get into the psychology, fund it privately or Kickstart it.

Just wanted to throw out an update on the GiP site. It hasn't been abandoned or forgetten, but development slowed down a bit since there isn't an urgency with Google Hangouts working out well. I just finished closing on a house and have been very busy and without internet. I will be busy for about another week or two then will be able to get back to finish up the site.

If I'm not moving fast enough for you guys, if there is a django programmer that wants to start plugging away at this stuff let me know and I'll hook you up with the git, otherwise I'll keep you guys posted.

Hey assholes, Cole here. Every holiday season is rough for me. It all culminated here in 2012 when I decided I was going to kill myself.

You guys talk a lot of poo poo but I know you have my back when push comes to shove and you guys have no idea how much I appreciate what feels like a safety net that gip provides. I've talked poo poo to you guys, I've cussed out a gay guy and I think you guys brought out the inner racist and anarchist in me. But like I said you guys are there when it counts.

Any who my point is my life last night took a turn for the best. Last night at 7:14pm (1914 is a year, not a time you loving losers) I got a voicemail notifying me that I got accepted to Eastern Mennonite University, a small private college in Virginia. Beria is there and he has been telling me how great it is. I'll tell him you all called him a human being because I don't see him post here anymore.

That's a big deal because my GPA in high school had a zero in front of it and I got my GED and have done nothing for education since except drop out of community college. I wrote them an essay and literally said my high school transcripts wouldn't get me admitted into a preschool.

That feeling I got can only be matched by the feeling I had 1) when I found out my fly out date from Afghanistan and 2) when I finally got my med board ratings after 15 months of going stir crazy.

I don't think I'll need this thread this winter. And that loving owns.
