Checking Inn
with ShadowCreator
The sun was naught but a fading memory, and there were nasties around. I needed a place to stay, and as luck would have it, I encountered Shadow, famous for his huge stalk, who invited me to his inn. To add to my annoyance, it had started to rain, which fogged up my camera lens something fierce.

It's a really lovely building. I myself frequently use Google Images to reference real-world structures when designing stuff; Shadow tells me he has no reference material and builds from scratch. To all you imagination-fueled builders out there, I salute you. Keep it up, you're awesome.
(Protip: while looking at real-world buildings is highly recommended, DO NOT use Minecraft builds for reference. Seriously, where's the creativity in that? Anyone can be a copycat - it takes thought to translate reality into blocks.)
We rushed inside out of the rain. I didn't expect it to be as charming as it was...

Cozy, ain't it? To my disappointment, I found the inn had no name - I suggest The Big Stalk's Halfway Inn. Y'know, because it's halfway down the road, and it's next to the big stalk... What? Don't look at me like that. >_>

The cellar. I appreciated Shadow's liberal use of supports - in this day and age, respect for fictional gravity is hard to come by. He also showed me the upstairs, though it was mostly just corridors and doors and stuff - the rooms weren't quite finished yet. Guess there was no room at the inn after all; hopefully I could at least get a drink...

Sure enough, Shadow was happy to oblige, with a bottle of homebrew freshly squeezed from his stalk.
...I'm okay with this.
And that's it for the first instalment of Community Spotlight! What did ya think? Were you inspired to build something half-finished or innuendo-filled of your own? Did you laugh? Cry? Throw up in your mouth a little? Excellent! If you're eager for more, or you'd like to be featured in the next edition, holler at me!
Have a crafty day! Haxx out!
