I wrote my way out of Hell. I wrote my way to revolution--I was louder than the crack in the bell.

Hello, lovely livejournal friends. Long time, no post. Not gonna make up excuses or promise to do better--I was in a depressive rut re: fandom for the better part of 2015 and I hope it's over but maybe it won't be, anyway, as you can tell, I've been a joy to be around and you're all very lucky I was AWOL. XD

You still produced a lot of good things in 2015 that I enjoyed immensely: There's Outtakes, which, I've lost count on how many times I've read it. And then there's Gonna Take You to the Glory and Baby Steps (my personal favorite). I'm sure everything else is wonderful, too. I'm still slowly making my way down your masterlist! <333

And man, I can understand your struggle with Sensory Overload. I'm going through the same thing with my RBB. I thought it would be 10k at best, but that's turning out not to be the case. But I'm glad you decided to write the story in your own time. The story will be so much better for it! :D

Best wishes to you in 2016!! ♥

That's one thing I can say is that I'm happy with the *quality* of my fic in 2015, even if not the quantity. And honestly, it's not even that I didn't write enough but that I didn't finish stories at time when that meant an artist was being dicked over, not just myself. So that's what I'm really miffed at myself over. But there's nothing I really really hate on this list, and in fact, a few things I'm quite fond of (the three you mentioned are all some of my favorites!)

Ahhh, it's so stressful when a story takes on a life of its own and ends up much, much longer than you expected it to be. But you are going to pull this RBB off and it will be excellent! *\o/*

Thank you so much for the sweet wishes, BB. Best to you in 2016, as well. :D

<33333 You already know my thoughts on this bigbang thing, so I won't bore you with my repetitive blah-dee-blah. Instead, let's focus on how much writing you have done! That is A LOT of writing. Gosh, I feel so unproductive next to you. I think I did, like, 9 art things last year, haha. Not even double digits! *hangs head in shame* Also, I was surprised to see how much of your stuff I haven't read yet? How?? (MERMAID JARED, EEK!) I'm so terrible about keeping up with all the awesome stuff people manage to pump out every year, argh. Among my many goals for the year--writing and commenting more, etc--simply catching up needs be a major one, I think. And I hear you on doing fewer challenges. Mostly because I have a lot of random ideas I never get around to due to some deadline or other, and I just wanna run amok for a while, arting whatever the heck I feel like, when I feel like it, and see how that goes. Resisting temptation is gonna be super hard, though

I do know. You are a very good, reassuring little soul. *pecks at your hair*

It's SO HARD in a huge fandom like this to keep up with all the amazing fic and art that gets posted!!!

I hope selfishly that you'll still do some challenges, but I also cannot wait to see you unleash some of the ideas you have tucked into that brilliant brain of yours!! Your art blows me away, as you well know. But yeah, I'm in the same place as you. It's so easy to SAY I'm going to sign up for fewer challenges, but when sign ups open for something and all the cool ids are doing it and I JUST WANNA BE A COOL KID. Lettuce see if I hold up. XD
