Monster Spam

Hi all - Thanks for all the kind comments on the concept of Mystery Monster! Unfortunately those compliments haven't translated into entries as quickly as I'd hoped, and that's given time for the spam machines to move in :(

You can still participate in MM - I may take a bit longer to spot your mails inbetween the rest of the rubbish, but I'll get it in the end! I'm currently working on keeping the pesky spam mails down to a minimum.

Thanks to those who have recently signed up, do keep up the good work & do have a go at the new topic: SCALY!

Some monster Blogs!

Say hello to Derek - the first Mystery Monster!

Here it is - the first ever mystery monster created by you lot out there! Well done for such a fantastic job & Thanks to everyone who contributed:

Me! - mysterymonster.co.uk
David O'Connell - subtlesuperhero.com
C-Works - cworks.blogspot.com
CJ - closetjunkie.co.uk

This time around we only got one character out of it (there was only one head!), but hopefully as we get going & get a few more heads submitted we should have a few more characters - look out for the next topic shortly!


This mystery monster will be christened Derek. Part monster, part machine he works as a research assistant in a lab. He's quite happy after just receiving some 'shiny & new' jogging trainers (nice touch on the branding there!). Other hobbies include amateur radio and rambling.
