No, not really, but I do feel like barfing. I've been a bit under the weather (to say the least) these past few days. My progress has slowed down, but not too badly. If anything, what's taken the biggest hit is my commenting time--so any fanfics I normally review, any deviant updates I normally review, messages I picked up with DevWatch adding and faves, I...kind of....cut down on commenting and thanking...because my swimming head would not allow me look at a monitor for an extended period of time without risking regurgitation on my laptop. I'm sorry!

---------------------------------

THANK YOU for 5000 views! (I'm a little late with that...I think I'm almost at 5500 actually)

And THANK YOU to everyone for your support and faves and comments and all for "I Bring You Sunshine". It won first place on (which had me floored, because there were like a dozen other fanart entries, and they were all awesome.)

--------------------------------

I finally caved and started a YouTube account because I was tired of bookmarking my favorite videos and wanted to just favorite them. Of course, this will eventually be useful when I decide to finish my Escaflowne AMV...from like 3 years ago.

Yesterday, I discovered the joys that are "They're Taking Hobbits To Isengard!" [link] and "Why Is The Rum Gone?" [link] and "This Is Sparta! (Techno Remix)" [link] and "300 Mighty Ducks" [link] . The rest of my favorites are AMVs, of course.

Speaking of which, I'm considering making an AMV of Hinata crack pairings. WAY on the backburner. So...fanart, working on a fanfic, and may do an AMV...that's like the otaku triple-whammy isn't it? *dork* It's okay, I won't take it personally if you deny knowing me.

---------------------------

My sudden Ban/Kazuki craving has barely been satiated. I'm unhappy. I found two FANTASTIC Ban/Kazuki writers on FF.net, but they haven't written for the pairing in like 2 or 3 years.

I remember last year, I felt the same way about ShikaHina, and look what I did--filled my gallery up with 'em! I'd never do that with BanKazu, simply because I don't think I can make myself draw that much gay action (I'm still learning how to draw males properly), and it's so much more stylized than Naruto. Naruto to my style isn't very different. Get Backers to my style would probably look weird and unrecognizable. But I'm trying it anyways because I WANT TO SEE SOME BAN/KAZUKI DAMMIT.
