This tumblr account turned 2 today!

I’d forgotten that we got the tumblr account before we even posted the first chapter… that’s so exciting. :’) I can’t believe it. This has been an incredible couple of years. 

An update on the next chapter, btw: in order to make sure that the payoff happens the way it needs to, we’re plotting the next 5-6 chapters all at once. We had a loose outline two years ago, which we’ve been gradually massaging as we’ve progressed through the fic, but now we are nailing down the hard outlines and it is a harrowing process. Barcelona is the climax and so, so important, and we want to make sure we do it right. 

We spent over eight hours on Saturday combing through episodes 10-12 and finally finished hammering all of the canon material from the series last night, with all of the present-day gaps filled. The fairytale segments are planned, I just need to decide where they fit in the outline, but that will depend on where we end up putting the chapter breaks… and THAT depends on the final number of flashbacks that we decide on, which we are working on now. 

Once all of this is decided and figured out, we will start writing. Since the scenes are all planned (often with dialog, even) and we’ve discussed them at length, it should go fairly quick. That will take us to the end of the Grand Prix Final and back to Japan. 

But that won’t be the end of NLA. 

When Barcelona is over, we will have three more chapters to make up for the pain that we’re going to cause. I’m not going to give any spoilers, but I CAN say that they will be soft, fluffy, and very, very sweet. They should soothe the aches and any remaining heartburn. 

After that, it’ll be one shots, zine pieces, AUs, etc. We have a lot of stories to tell— for Viktor, Yuuri, and everyone else. 🙂

On behalf of Mamo and I, thank you for your continued support and encouragement! We couldn’t do this without you all. 

Love,

Chapter 27: Tadaima, which finishes episode 9, is now up!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/8997835/chapters/34400297

The week that Yuuri was away in Saint Petersburg is both trying and… enlightening for Viktor, who is faced with some very difficult decisions. However, it seems that destiny is on his side this time around…

#BACKSTORY #brief violence #roller coaster of emotions #ends on a very happy note, don’t worry #I’m SO SORRY IT’S SO LONG

Never Look Away:  the Yuri on Ice series novelization with 100% more Viktor PoV and backstory!

AKA v 2.0: The ‘almost-canon-but-not-quite’ AU
AKA v 3.0: YOI with real world prejudice, past relationship abuse, and major depression/anxiety.

Convention Updates!

I won’t be at Confuzzled this year (sobbing), BUT Furcon 2015 is a go! Yes, I will have a table! Yes, I will see if I can do a panel or two! It’s in San jose, California in January. Plan early so you can be there! 🙂

As this is, currently, the only other con that I am signed up for… I will be spending the next several months revamping everything. What does this mean? 

  • a ton of new art
  • fun new products (which I will be experimenting with using redbubble and the like)
  • consistent comic updates
  • the actual printing of Dangerous Cute book #1 AND short graphic novel
  • better, faster, stronger clingy and card badges, as well as other commissions
  • and more?!

Incidentally, I had a dream last night that I showed up to FC only to realize that I had forgotten all of my supplies. Uhm. Let’s hope this won’t happen.

Writing-

I stayed home from work today because we were food poisoned. It was awful. I’m sure part of my reaction this morning was from those nightmares and the subsequent panic attack, but seriously, bleh. However! I did put it to some good use by working more on my Fishsticks novel and, while looking for my typewriter (it’s still buried somewhere), I found my high school writing portfolio.

Oh man oh man so many things in here you guys. HIGH SCHOOL WRITING YES. I treated it so serious business… everything was dark and artsy and as I read it now I just can’t stop laughing. So precious. I’ll have to share some sometime…

…but it made me think that I really need to get some kind of writing portfolio ready for my website, since uh… art is easy to share online, but writing…? How is anyone going to know that I have some skills? (For the sake of argument, let’s assume that I do have some creative writing skills, k.)

I wonder what would be most effective…  I have an art series in mind for this summer that involves writing… and the mini graphic novel that I have planned for Dangerous Cute will have some writing… but what else? A chapter from a novel? A short story? I really don’t know.

Anyway, that’s it for updates. I’ll look for my type writer again tomorrow and work on getting my craft room set up again. I keep finding boxes of art supplies, and they need to be put somewhere productive…
