I would like to put it online, but I'm not as good with that kind of stuff as I'd like to be. If someone can help with that, I can E-Mail it to whoever posts their adress for that reason. I can't put the pictures online right now because they have been stored on my father's work computer, which takes forever to hook up to the internet. (It's new, but it's hard to find the DSL jack.)[/b]

I'll give you my e-mail address in a private message. I don't want to post it here because I'm afraid of spam bots. :angry:

As for the instructions, click on "My Controls", then "Edit Avatar Settings", paste the URL of your picture and click on the "Add this avatar to my profile" button.

But I guess that if you did that and it didn't work, maybe it was because your picture was too big.

I actually discoverd Astro Boy in my advanced language arts class when we were told to find twenty books that we would like to read. I looked in manga, and saw Osamu Tezuka's name as a link. I really did think something along the lines of "How many mangas did this Tezuka guy make?" I had heard of Astro Boy before when I saw some toys in Target a long time ago. Anyways, one night I had nothing to read, so my mother took me to Borders book store and I bought the first manga. Too bad for me, it was a school night, because I stayed up all night reading it! :D

At 13, I wouldn't have been able to go to school after staying up all night! :lol:

About a month later I found out about the series when I bought the PS2 game. Of course, I was very confused by Astro calling Dr. Ochanomizu by the name of Dr. Oshay, but I guess I got over it.
If you are wondering how old I actually am, I'm only 13!
I'll post the fan fiction story online soon. First I have to email it to myself, though.

I had seen you were 13 by looking at your profile. It definately doesn't show through your writings! :)

And another thing, Astro forever, I could see why you'd like Dr. Tenma more than Astro. He was a whole lot cuter in the Japanese version! :) [/quote]
I've yet to watch an English 2003 episode. I'm French Canadian, so I've watched it in French, and his voice, and the whole dubbing for that matter, are great! :) I just don't like Astro as much as I did in the 1980 series. Tenma is a much more interesting character in the 2003 series! :D

Edit: I just sent you an e-mail through the forum.

Thanks. :D
You're from Canada? That's so cool! I live 16 miles away from Windsor in Michigan.
I went to Montreal about four years ago. It was really fun! I'll email you soon!
I'll also post my story. Oh... If you have read my post in the thread about Astro Boy dreams, that's the same story. :)

I've read your post. :)

Here is your pic. I cropped the width to get a perfect square in the next one (it is exactly 64*64, the maximum allowed on this forum):

Image

The URL is http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a164/cho...tar/Natarii.jpg . You can copy/paste it if you want to use it as your avatar.

I also made another one, not cropped but only resized (it's 64*62):

Image

The URL for this one is http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a164/cho...ar/Natarii2.jpg

Choose which one you prefer. :) I don't mind hosting it, but I guess it would be better for you to have your own online pictures account and upload it there, so you'd have full control over it. :)

Tell us if you still have problems. :)

It looks great! :) You are welcome! :)

It's kind of funny that Strange Wings made my own avatar, and now I made one for somebody else! :D

It's another drawing of myself, but from my one page comic, The Mystery of the Hall Passes, published in the "Seventh Grade survival guide" created by my language arts class for the incomming students.
I played as a girl named Natarii Hezuka, the daughter of an internationally known detective. The drawing shown here (Because this comic was about school organisers) is Natarii as the "officer of your organiser" :lol:
The word in Japanese is my name.
My avatar image was meant to be in a character guide for my Astro Boy fan fiction story. :) It looked good enough for an avatar, so I said "Why not?" and with your help, it's there now. :D
