I do. It was a city that I created with the help of Daz Studio in August of last year. The focus of my creation was on the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogofstench.livejournal.com\/tag\/intellectum\">Library of Intellectum,<\/a> which combined advanced technology such as interlibrary loan transmats, with myth in the form of a book wyrm, even the supernatural in the form of ghosts and magic. I even created a cast of characters and assigned them 1:6 dolls:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <em>library assistant<\/em>, our protagonist, is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dollmore.net\/shop\/step1.php?number=7353\">Dollmore Melissa Hon.<\/a> EDIT: Since Dollmore is a <a href=\"http:\/\/blogofstench.livejournal.com\/tag\/cheating%20bjd%20cos.\">cheatin&#8217; BJD. co. <\/a>that I cannot, in good conscience, support by buying directly from them, the library assistant may have to be a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lumedoll.com\/arine.htm\">Lumedoll Arine<\/a> with a small bust and sharpened face.<\/li>\n<li>The <em>head librarian,<\/em> her ultimate supervisor, was originally an Obitsu W-03 head on an Obitsu slender male body, even though she is an old woman, but now I think she should be a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lumedoll.com\/koit.htm\">Lumedoll Lucas<\/a> head on a Lumedoll fem body, breasts removed.<\/li>\n<li>The <em>special collections assistant,<\/em> our protagonist&#8217;s friend, was originally an Elfdoll Doona Ryung head on a resin 1:6 male body, but now I think he should be a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lumedoll.com\/koit.htm\">Lumedoll Koit.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The <em>ghost,<\/em> another of our protagonist&#8217;s friends, is an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elfdollshop.com\/shop\/step1.php?number=1042\">Elfdoll Doona Ryung<\/a> head on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notdolllab.com\/shop\/step1.php?number=511\">Notdoll 25cm fem<\/a> body. EDIT: For ease of use, the ghost could also be a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lumedoll.com\/elin.htm\">Lumedoll Elin<\/a> with a small bust and shortened legs and torso [just to be younger\/smaller than the library assistant].<\/li>\n<li>The <em>book wyrm<\/em> is a felted Chinese dragon with wire inside.<\/li>\n<li><em>Scanty Sophie,<\/em> the statue on top of the library, is a 2003 ComicCon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.echobasetoys.com\/Blue_Box_Pages\/BoxedFigures\/Elite_Force_Cy-Girl_Boxed.htm\">Takara\/BBI silver Cy Girl.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The <em>&quot;little fucker&quot;<\/em> is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.luxour-academy.com\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=14_22&amp;products_id=281\">DreamHigh Squee.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The <em>doll,<\/em> another of our protagonist&#8217;s adventures, is unassigned.<\/li>\n<li>Various <em>patrons<\/em> are also unassigned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I decided that most of the sets would be easy to make:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the stacks [two shelves of books forming a corridor and facing each other, grey foamcore background]<\/li>\n<li>the book wyrm&#8217;s lair [grey foamcore background, cardboard tube pillars]<\/li>\n<li>the Pierian Spring [ditto, plus painted Styrofoam fountain]<\/li>\n<li>the Discard Bin [grey foamcore background, cardboard tube pillars, balsa wood coffins]<\/li>\n<li>the ILL center [grey foamcore background, plastic bank of computers]<\/li>\n<li>the exterior [computer rendered 3D scene from&nbsp;Daz Studio]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, I didn&#8217;t have a plot tying all these elements together, but I enjoyed developing them.<\/p>\n<p>Now, over a year later, I&#8217;m living in a small apartment with no room for my 1:6 stuff: dolls, clothes, sets and accessories. I have some 1:3 dolls to keep me company, but I greatly miss my 1:6ers. I also miss writing fiction, something I haven&#8217;t done for the past six months.<\/p>\n<p>My longing for both 1:6ers and stories prompts me to think about returning to the world of 1:6 photostories that I left with Love Has Fangs. I wouldn&#8217;t go back to LHF; instead, I would return with the Library of Intellectum.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll start working on some character sketches and plot ideas, just to satisfy my desire to be writing again, and I&#8217;ll see where it goes&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDIT: All this talk of Lumedoll&#8217;s creations&#8217; aptness for the Library of Intellectum makes me want to rush out and purchase the library assistant, the head librarian, the special collections assistant and the ghost right now!&#8212;Dost thou remember Intellectum?
