Poll of the Day > It has been exactly three decades and seven leap days since I was born.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ask me anything.

I must have these questions.

Happy 30th!

Leap for joy.

Leap for joy.

That might happen this month. I am in the midst of finally completing the finale for a fiction-writing project. I anticipate to be done by month's end. Hopefully, the web-development class that I've figuratively hoisted onto my shoulders won't interfere with that work too much. Although, I confess that if I prioritize professional development courses more than I do the only thing that really gives me any joy these days, I must rethink what I aim to do with the next decade of my life. That said, I am not typically physically expressive of my emotions, negative or positive, so leaping as a result of a surge of happiness is a possibility that is far-off, I am afraid to say. I am aware, though, that it is only an expression, one born possibly of the fact that I unnecessarily mentioned leap days in my announcement, and the fact that another leap day is due in about twenty-seven Earth days.

Oh, very nice. I've sadly been taking a short break from my biggest, current writing project between my full-time job and my gaming backlog, but I'm getting back into the revisions and writing this month. What's the story you're writing based on or about?

Yes, I figured a lighthearted joke based on that would have been a fine touch. I might be addicted to wordplay.

(...And I just pictured so many family members, friends, FC-mates in FFXIV, and coworkers looking at me like I understated the obvious.)

Some children's cartoon. <<';

OK? Where's the embarrassment? Love what you love, yo.

Meanwhile, I've been working on a long fanfiction based on Touhou Project, with 14 major plot arcs and 2 crossover events working like an anthology. When it's done, people can follow any number of those major arcs (by chapter name) and the relevant crossover event (the shogi match on the moon for Yukari, Tenshi, both Reisens, Sumireko, and Mima, and the Avengers level climactic battle for everyone BUT Mima, Reisen II, or the Lunarian sisters) without losing too much reference as to what's going on. Once the script is complete, or close to it, I need to start illustrating, as well as finalizing some of my character designs (future iterations of Marisa and Remilia, as well as OC Danuja, and my own iterations of Sasuke Rin and Iwanagahime). It's a lot of work, and going deep AF into canon lore and character personalities helped make it take longer.

Ha...
