So...

1) First off, hello new friends from y!gallery! <3 I am so relieved that the scare got sorted out :D And it's nice to have contact with lots of you elsewhere, too! I may poke you and ask you what your y!gal handle was, lol, because I am so bad with names XD

2) Livestreaming stuff! If you've not heard of livestreaming, it's a program/thingy that lets

Ah, the passing of a fandom is sad, isn't it. But I almost always have flashes of new inspiration for them eventually, however brief. You kept kaka/sasu alive for me! And once I get caught up with Bleach, I'll probably be back into that again as well. Seeing your Chad/Ichigo arts on y!gal gave me urges.

It really is sad! I keep my mind open, because I would love a new flash of inspiration - maybe I have to be away a little longer before that happens, though ^^

And that would be great! Fandom could always use more Chad, and if you went a different direction, fandom could use more good writers, always :) I'd love to see some from you!

IT IS SO SAD! I still love em, and I still go back and read stuff and it's great, but they're just not like... living in my head anymore, I guess. Boo!

BUT I STILL HAVE THE KEY, and Sauce's apartment will always be a happy place for me <3

And I missed you on gchat, nooooooo!

I'm not as much into Naruto as I was, but damn it, ZabuxHaku keeps one foot planted into the fandom. I'm more into Bunny Drop and Black Butler these days, though Bunny Drop leaves me with no pairings, but it's cuteness more than makes up for it <3 It's not so bad, getting into a different fandom, and starting to love one pairing more than another~

[imlikat]

Yeah, it's not so bad :) I can still read and enjoy Kakashi/Sasuke stuff, but I can't write em, and have no urge to draw them, so that part sucks :/ It's just kind of hard to let them go, I guess... they've been my OTP for almost four years, and it feels weird for them not to be anymore XD It's really kind of silly!

[sensatsusuisho]

haha I actually want to start doing things for other fandoms, but I'm afraid my love for Haku will diminish, and I'll be sad :C

[hot_jupiters]

Don't feel guilty! I'm not big on Naruto either at the moment -- at least not writing-wise! I think I'm going to try and revisit it, though. I do love them but I'm totally involved in original stuff at the present! :D

Will still follow your Bleach stuff, though. YAY BLEACH!

[imlikat]

XD I'm trying not to feel guilty! It's so strange to feel weird for preferring one pairing or fandom over another, lol. I think part of it has to do with how much time and energy I've invested in Kakashi/Sasuke fanart and fic over the years, it feels wrong somehow to just stop! XD

Hooray! Yay Bleach! <3

Oh hon, I moved to Bleach from HP fandom, which was a BIG shift. I still have my friends in HP fandom and I'm still a bit active there, but not so much as a writer. When you're just not feeling it, you're just not feeling it.

Bleach pairings, though? Man, what a feast! I don't think I'll ever get tired of pairing Ishida up with other guys, especially The Chad, and I'm soooo excited about how much love the big guy is getting in the manga lately. There just has to be more love for that pairing, especially (and yeah, I personally need to be doing something about that. Heh.) ;)

You never forget your great pairings, though. You never know, something may happen and you'll get all excited. I still do just a bit of writing in HP fandom. I like to keep my hand in just a bit, and I still love discussing stuff.

[imlikat]

Yeah, I still have my friends from Naruto fandom, that is a very good thing :) I think I'm lucky in that there's a lot of overlap between Naruto and Bleach fandoms, too.

Oh man, Bleach has SO MANY gorgeous guys. Kubo's so good at drawing handsome fellows. And creating brand new ones OUT OF NOWHERE! XD I feel like I'm limiting myself too much in a way, by just focusing on a few of the guys, but hey, I can only draw what I'm inspired to, I guess, so I don't worry about it ^^

And hey, you're right! Naruto's still ongoing, and something might happen that will suck me back in again :) I'm hoping for that!

[nehalenia]

Never ever feel bad for concentrating on Chad. Granted I prefer him with Ishida, but he needs more love all around, and he is SO freaking hot, I can't believe other artists aren't all over him. Sad to say, I can understand writers not tackling him so much because people who don't say much are really hard to write, but you know? The more great art there is of him, the more people get inspired. ;)
