Apologies & Some Brief Entertainment

[lyre_of_autumn]

 Well, as you all may know, I attempted to post a puzzle I'd created myself, which inevitably was doomed to fail. ^^U I did spend quite some time refining it, and editing the pictures in Photoshop... Yet that's beside the point. ^^U No one was pleased with it, and I apologize for offending those who participated. ; - ; (Please don't hate me.)

So, I

Well I first started getting pretty obsessed with it only last September. I started drawing a ton of Professor Layton fanart and comics and realized I loved the fandom so much more than I thought. Pretty soon I was looking up and saving as many awesome Professor Layton pictures as I possibly could because I was in love with that top hatted gentleman, and because I was about to leave to my 11 month adventure in the UK in October 2009, I was expecting to meet lots of British gentlemen like him (SPOILER: THEY DON'T ACTUALLY EXIST, THEY ARE ALL JUST DRUNK AND GROSS) so he was sort of like, my ultimate muse for leaving to go to the UK. Long story short, love you, 'fessah.

I don't think your puzzle thing failed hard. I thought it was a really cute idea and should inspire you to try to make other ones! :D

Wow, that tidbit about your adventure is saddening... I'd already begun to question the existence of true gentleman, yet that is... Quite sad. ; - ; I think I'll just marry a psychopath... They're usually romantic and somewhat chivalrous, even if they're a bit disturbing. ^^U

But thank you... I was just upset because four people commented as though they were offended, because I didn't give one person a perfect score... I wasn't sure what I did wrong, so I just panicked. ^^U But thanks for your kindness.

May I suggest something? Stop being so apologetic. You said so yourself that you need a place to talk about your obsession -this is a great place to do just that- so why are you so timid? There is no need to explain what you're doing - just do it

[lyre_of_autumn]

Thanks... That's something I suppose I'll need to improve upon. ; - ; I've always been quite apologetic... I'm not sure of how to break the habit, either.

Well, I'm glad that it's at least impacted your life in some positive ways... Though personally, I'd say it was indeed life-changing~. ^^

I just have a question -- you keep typing ^^U in your posts. What the heck does that even mean?

[cistaceae]

^^U is meant to be a smiley of someone sweatdropping. In this case, the U is the sweatdrop. I guess you could say it's a way to express embarrassment?

That's what I'm pretty sure it is anyway.

[spongefan1]

Actually, I think ^^; is supposed to be the smiley for someone sweat-dropping.

[optionhunter]

You're both right. They're two variations of the sweatdropping class (I can't believe I just typed that).

Comment if you're interested, but do not post your works yet!!

I guess no one read that part. XDDD

[optionhunter]

I was confused by that bit myself. I thought she was referring to specifically things like fanart, videos, fic, et cetera et cetera.

Oops. XD

[lyre_of_autumn]

XD It's alright.

When I think about it, this series has done quite a bit for me
