Hi guys! In response to some of you who've voted that I should update more, I bring to you this post.
[Thanks for answering my poll, btw. ;)]
Alright:
1. You may have noticed that I've been posting slower since June. That's because I've been facing creative burnout, health problems and academic issues. Plus, even though the therapy helps, it does have some side-effects…
Don't worry! It's not cancer or anything life-threatening. I'm doing fine. Nevertheless, it's gonna take a while to get my mojo back. So please bear with me, ok? I'm still writing and drawing in the meantime, but it's gonna take longer between releases.
2. Also, I've been working on a new series of ficlets for Eyeshield 21. That's part of the reason for the recent slump. Details are as follows:
.
Focus –untraditional genderbending of Es21 characters (meaning no fem-Sena, but you'll see fem-Shin, fem-Agon, fem-Monta etc.)
Genre –friendship, drama, angst
(Basically, a homage of sorts to the original spirit of the manga. There will be some romance, but not much.)
Estimated Progress –75% done
.
However, I'm in need of someone to comment on characterisation. My betas are very capable, but both of them read this series a long while ago. All I need is someone strict to read the finished ficlets and tell me if my depictions are IC.
Any takers?
(On a similar note, I've also completed a fem-Marco oneshot. My betas and I are tied up by exams/ assignments at the mo', but you can expect to see it sometime within the next two weeks.)
3. If you ever feel the need to know what I'm working on, or whether I'm dead (:P), please attempt the following:
.
i. (non-user of eff eff net) comment through a review on one of my stories, or reply to one of my posts on LJ. I allow anonymous comments for both.
.
ii. PM me on this site, or through Livejournal, deviantART or pixiv. The links for my accounts are listed on my profile.
.
(But try to keep the messages concise, ok? Nowadays, I'm too tired half the time to respond much.)
4. Also, it might be useful for you to know a little about my working habits. Due to my capricious darling muse, who likes to drop the most random ideas on me, I always have a HUGE pile of pending stuff. (*TuT*) Hence, my MO is to pick several drawing and writing projects to work on every week. I'd try to complete them as much as I can, but if I can't, I'll set it aside and pick another one to continue.
This means:
i. I am almost always working (except on self-imposed breaks), but slower in posting.
ii. I have not abandoned anything I've promised. Seriously. I might mess up who I've promised what to (unless I keep IOUs), but I don't forget any project I've set my mind on. If you haven't gotten what you waited for, that's because I'm slow. I've either hit a snag or become temporarily buried under other stuff.
Please be patient.
Thanks for reading thus far! :)
