Thanks for the responses so far. I'd like to ask more people to send more non-holiday (i.e. Chinese New Year) material as already I have over 10 (most likely more) ways to write "Xin nian kuai le" or "Sun neen fai lok" and other type of phrases :) I would like, however, other phrases or even individual words which are more used either in conversation or signs or somethings like that. Things like the following "how are you" are nice: ,,, ,|, ,,, ,||| ||' '||| ,,,|||, ||| ,||' ,,|||, ,|| '|||'''|||' ,||' ,|'||||' ,|||' ||',,, ,||' ,|||| ' || '' ,|||||| |||,,|| |' || || ,,|||'|| ||'|||'''||' || , || '||, '|'' |,,|' || || || || '||| ,|||, || || ||| || || ,||'' ||| || || ' ,,,|| '' '' ,,,|| '' '||| '|||| ''' '' and something of this size is probably the largest it should be, although if you have something larger, don't hesitate to send it anyway. Ideally, the entire word should fit on the screen (and maybe a 2-3 lines should be seen at once). Please continue to send, I have a number of people on the mailing list already and it would be nice to be able to have a nice list to distribute. Don't hesitate to try your own hand at it. Drawing ascii art may take some practice but it's not too difficult. :) Submit what you can, I'll give some feedback if you'd like and I'm sure others will too if you post it. I'm sure there's more out there and if not, hopefully people will make more! Thanks again for your interest and submissions. If you'd like to be put on the mailing list, just mail me!
