Hello and Happy May 22nd! I wanted to bring you all a quick update on my Persona Fanfic project, since I did say I would.
          	
          	I'll be real, there isn't much new to say that I haven't said already. Progress is slow and steady, but I will admit I'm a little further behind then I'd like at this point. I might end up extending the predicted release date beyond mid-June, but I genuinely won't know if I need to do that until next month.
          	
          	I'm going on a trip in 6 days (to Indianapolis for the Pokémon Regionals - which by the way, is ON MY BIRTHDAY!) So I gotta put more focus on preparing for that instead of writing.
          	
          	I predict my next PROPER update will be sometime during the 2nd week of June.
          	
          	...Hopefully.
          	
          	...We'll see :')

Hello and Happy May 1st! I wanna give you an update on that Persona Fanfic project of mine.
          
          First off, I actually JUST got the replacement laptop. Getting that thing shipped and into my possession was an actual nightmare… [insert 5 whole deleted paragraphs about the many problems that occurred – trying to stay on topic lol]
          
          I finally got everything set up on that laptop last night, which means writing is about to begin!
          
          ...but there’s something about this story I didn’t reveal in my original post that’s gonna actually delay the story a bit longer. Even as I begin the writing, I won’t be uploading chapters as I finish writing them. With this story, I actually wanna create custom art for each chapter.
          
          ...I may or may not have become extremely inspired by a writer on Archive of Our Own by the name of “Satori_Mikuu” (who has written amazing Persona fanfics like “Like a Train Without a Destination”, “Delight, Delusion, and Isolation”, and “Beneath the Scarlet Sky”), in which every story (and every chapter) seems to have really good art drawn for it.
          
          ...Please go check their stories out. And check those 3 out if you like Joker and Arsene a lot :D
          
          Anyway… I’m fully aware I’m not the best artist in the world, but I wanna do something similar with this new story. Especially since… let’s just say the plot includes a LOT of different Metaverse outfits. I love writing. I love drawing. Its what I wanna do for this new story!
          
          (Update 1 of 2 - look at the comments on this announcement for the rest)

Although I’m a very speedy writer when I get into the flow of things, I… am a very slow artist. I struggle with a lot of basic poses and details… so adding art will ultimately be what is going to delay every chapter.
            
            This story is a huge passion project that I want to do well and personally right. I don’t want to cut corners and I want to be happy with what I create.
            
            As for my current first chapter upload date prediction: Mid-June.
            
            Now why that late?
            
            Before I can upload anything: I actually need finish drawing a proper cover for the first arc, alongside draw at least 4 different ‘chapters’ worth of art. Although I am practicing some of the art at this very moment… I cannot put my full focus on that until June. Kinda busy this whole month… not enough time to make all that art properly.
            
            I’ll bring another update much later this month on my progress. Until then, have an amazing May! :D

Hello everyone! It's been... an insanely long time, hasn't it? I wanted to finally give a proper update on my writing, because... I actually have one now!
          
          First off, the Pokémon fanfic is still on hold and (still not dead - although I'm fully aware this bit feels like empty words at this point... I'm mostly just adding this, because I don't want people to think this update is about that fanfic.)
          
          Instead, I want to announce I've actually been working on a fanfic for an entirely different franchise! I've actually been writing!
          
          Before you say "your just sprouting ideas your not acting on again..." I've actually been publicly sharing progress in the form of Arc names on my X account for the entirety of March. I've been working REALLY HARD on writing something. It's the first time I've taken the time to properly outline something before writing it.
          
          Now, I do have to admit progress has temporary halted, because my 6 year old laptop has finally broken and the replacement is coming sometime after April 17th, so I had to stop writing for now. All the planning for the story has been completed and the moment I get that computer, I can begin writing!
          
          As for the story, it will be my first time diving into the Persona Franchise! For basic details:
          -The plot is heavily structured after Persona 5 Royal, but will contain elements from Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5: The Phantom X
          -Main Characters will be from Persona 5 and Persona 3 (P5X characters will appear, but be less important to the overall plot)
          -As per my usual writing, the story will revolve around an OC named Yuki Kazeko.
          
          The current plan is for this to be a 2 book story, but due to the 200 chapter limitation per story, I will be uploading each arc as its own book. As of my computer being destroyed, only the first book has been fully planned out in writing.

My goal is to start uploading chapters of this Persona fanfic in May, but that could change. I've actually been putting my heart and soul into this and want to take my time creating this masterpiece.
            
            I don't want to start revealing anything accidentally, so I am actually gonna end this first update here. I will bring another update once I have my new computer and more progress has been made.
            
            I'm looking forward to sharing my writing with you all again :)

So I've been attempting to write.
          
          It's... not looking promising to have something ready before the end of the year.
          
          I swear to Arceus: the story has still been in my brain. FOR YEARS. STILL THINKING ABOUT IT. (If anything, the Mega Dimension DLC gave me another arc idea. I knew I should of tried writing the next book before the DLC came out. I knew this was gonna happen LOL - The idea has been planted in my mind, but I don't know yet if it will ever take root.)

          Anyway, yes: I did just update my profile picture and banner. I'm still alive :D
          
          _____
          
          For those curious about my upcoming competitive Pokémon plans: I'm gonna be signing up for EUIC 2026. I haven't actually played since last EUIC (as I went to Worlds as a spectator.)
          
          Currently have no definitive plans after that (besides grabbing spectator passes for Worlds in 2026 - whenever those go up.)
          
          _____
          
          Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great holiday season!
