...man. Thirty. That sure is... a number.

No content updates per se (aside from a quick "hey, the server move's done, hopefully this'll be the last"), since I've mostly been taking it easy/busy with work/dealing with stuff. The one thing I would've reasonably been able to have ready given my month so far isn't quite postable yet, but hopefully it, or a variation thereupon, will be ready to go up in the near-ish future. In the meantime, what's on the docket for this year?

I guess I'm just gonna do this on my birthday from now on rather than anywhere remotely near the first of the month? That's how it's been shaking out for a while, I guess? Sure!

Nothing new to add to AO today; I decided to just relax for my special day rather than scramble to get some frivolous project or other done because I am The Best at remembering deadlines. I do have plans, though! Plenty of stuff I'd like to see happen this year, ideas and concentration willing. Let's see...

It's been 2017 for nearly a month now, but what the heck—happy 2017! Last year certainly was... a year, but I'm hoping this one will be better, both generally and in terms of my creative activities. You know what that means: it's fandom resolutions time again!

Out with the old year, in with the new year! You know what that means...

(Let's pretend last January 1st never happened, hm?)

Serebii Forums' fan fiction club held a "Hoenn Gauntlet" challenge to celebrate the then-upcoming release of ORAS. I tried to write some stories for it! None of them are finished yet (although apparently neither were anyone else's, oops), but hopefully I'll be able to get through at least a few at some point. The challenges were all interesting, and dammit now that I've started writing a Western set in Hoenn of all places I need to see how it turns out!

This is currently technically the beginning of the story, although chances are this little snippet of scene will be moved further back after I make some tweaks to the outline.
