I don't know how many of you still remember me, but I bet at least someone does. I've been posting here every few eons since 1997 
and I once frequented Veronica's chat, too. I haven't really drawn ASCII for 1.5 years, but now I got Java VM when installing 
Opera and thought that I might finally try out Jave (I had once briefly tested it, but only the online version and many versions 
ago). I fell in love instantly and drew eg. this fairy, which is copied (except for the wings) from the fairy picture on my 
homepage (http://www.angelfire.com/mn/Maija/).

Also, for over a year, I'd had this totally crazy idea about asciifying all the 150 Pokemons (well, there are 250 or 251 of them, 
but the first Pokemon series had only 150) but had been too lazy to actually carry it out. Now I started that huge project and 
have mostly finished the first three ones - Bulbasaur, Venusaur and Ivysaur - and I'm drawing Charmander at the moment. As I don't 
study and work as a freelancer, I have a lot of freetime so I think I might even be able to finish this some time if I don't get 
bored first. <g> Here you can see Mr. Bulbasaur. The toes were really hard and still aren't very good, but Ivysaur and Venusaur 
have leaves on their back, which are much worse.

Oh, and if you want to see more of my art, go to http://www.angelfire.com/mn/Maija/asciiart.html . Sadly I have much less to offer 
than most of you.

P.S. Bug, you really rock.

P.P.S. Remove "dontspambut" to reply.
