Greetings, Tensura fans.
It's been more than one year and a half since I announced my retirement/indefinite hiatus, hasn't it? A very long time, indeed. Unfortunately, no, I am still not coming out of my retirement. But first, let me spell out several things about the possibilities for the future.
My commitment to physics, mathematics, and a bit of compsci has still not diminished as I said was the reason for my indefinite hiatus. From time to time, I do a programming project related to mathematics and physics. In fact, there is another great news regarding my commitment: I've been accepted into the public university I've dreamt of in the Faculty of Mathematics and Science through invitation (known as "SNBP" here). I am aiming to get into the Department of Physics after the "joint preparation" phase (the first semester) has ended.
That aside, recently, I suddenly wanted to read Tensura fanfics again even though I haven't reread the canon for so long. I've read several fics that I previously hadn't; some even made it to my reading lists. Re-reading my own last fic for some absurd reason re-ignited something deep within myself. This is exactly why I always opted to say that my fics were "in indefinite hiatus" instead of "discontinued", for changes in a human's heart may happen so quickly in unexpected ways.
I have by no means come out of my retirement *just yet*. However, the possibility of my return as a fanfic author has been increasingly apparent lately. Please don't get your expectation too high, but I'll be more than glad to be welcomed back someday if I finally decide to return.
My best regards,
Juan T. Hachigatsu.
