Hello everyone! I finally get a quick update before a month goes by 
.
Anyway, I know despite my attempts at keeping up with this thing I've been silent for the past few days. I wouldn't say I apologize but well... It's not on purpose, I've been kinda busy with finals (Mostly just two of my classes). In fact chances are you won't be hearing much from me this next week either since it's even more finals, I warn in advance.
Anyway, on to the main point. I've decided I want to make at least one more fic before the year is over (Or at least start it before the year is over) and to make the long story short before I forget, while the thought is still fresh in my head... Who wants to be in it?
As usual from me this will be a Pokemon story so if anyone is interested just let me know in the comments and make sure to list what Pokemon you would like to appear as and name/gender, forgot to mention that (Basically your Pokesona if you have one).
Chances are I'm not gonna finish this by the end of the year, most of the characters will end up as short cameos and it's gonna be just a quick short and not as good as I expected, but hey, I'm all up for something short and simple, been a while since I managed to do something like that. Also, its been a while since I feel this excited about a half-formed idea
.
OK, back to studying for now (Need to raise my Physics and Linear Algebra levels
).
PS: What's with new DeviantArt's logo? Looks like a weird Z now. I'm all for updates but how come they didn't come up with something better? After all, isn't this site full of Graphic Designers?

Do I get a Cheat Year?
Yes, I'm aware I'm a month late this year, but better late than never, right? n.n' Some people may know this, but the actual important date for me that marks the start of the year is January 6th. Yes, the precise date has gotten some bad rep over the years due to certain events, but hey it was an important milestone for me long before those even happened: It is the date I decided to complete and post my first story online here on DeviantArt. This year, that makes 14 years to the date, or since the date considering that's already in the past as well. While my activity in this site has reduced drastically since then, it was my introduction to the intersection between online spaces and the creative community. It's been a long way since then: I made quite a few friends, a few friendly rivals that pushed me to hone my craft and flex the creative muscles I didn't even know I had and in general helped a young nerdy kid to build some confidence to try other creative endeavors (Music
And Another Year Starts
OK, I've come to accept I'm no longer very active here, but at the very least this yearly Journal entry is very important to me no matter how busy I get. And the reason January 6th is important to me has come to mean more and more over the course of 13 years: Today marks the anniversary of the day that I first posted my first story online. Things change a lot in that time frame, but one thing that I can say for certain is that it changed my life to where I am today, and opened up to the creative works of so many people. To think how far I've come from a nerdy kid that just wanted to write some niche Pokemon fanfiction to... A nerdy man that wants to write even more niche "Property-Inspired Fantasy Prose" (AKA: Fanfiction but fancier undertone), but now slightly more adjusted to interacting with other creative minds. I met some of my art idols, made friends, made enemies, made rivals (Friendly ones, the good kind), somehow made a few fans, and have been implicitly encouraged to see
Give it to one More Year
Oh wow, I'm so good at tradition that even without intending to I kept "Once-per-year" journal :D (This needs to stop >.>). For the people who are still reading this (When they could be doing something so much better with their time but I still appreciate), while New Year's day has never really mattered that much to me (Except for being the excuse for a friend of mine to throw a really cool once-a-year party), January 6 has come to become a really important date every year. While not the day I began to write, it marks the day I posted my first story here on DeviantArt. And boy, have things gone to unexpected places ever since. While it wouldn't seem like a big deal to write Pokemon Fanfiction, it also gave a really nerdy and shy boy a reason to interact with creative people online. I've met some of my "Idols", made friends, friendly rivals, met a few trolls, and bit by bit been pushed to try out things that I wouldn't have tried otherwise and helped me become slightly-less-worse
Another Year has Gone By
Here's to the traditional one and only yearly Journal update here with a promise to update more often (That I never get to fulfill for one reason or another)! :D For those who know me (Who I question their sanity why yet appreciate very greatly, keep it up guys =P) while I have learned to like New Year's Day it doesn't really seems that important to me (Other than being the excuse for some very awesome New Year's parties that this one friend throws every year :D). January 6th, on the other hand? That is a very important date and the real start of the year for me. That is because it marks the anniversary of the first time I submitted a story here on DeviantArt. Granted, I only do fanfiction but that doesn't mean fanworks aren't any good, and that has always been clear since a young Axel got "curious about what the Pokemaniacs were up to nowadays" and was met with very intimidatingly good fanart and fanfiction good enough to make me curious and eventually interested and inspired in

You should know my Pokesona by now. Ada the Nidorina is still my ID and everything.^^ This sounds interesting, and it will be fun to see you take on me in a story. If you choose to use Ada that is.
The new logo well take some time to get use to. But I kind of like it, and the reason behind the change was cool. If it's still around when you have the time I sugessed you read the "Our Story" that is seen at the top of the screen.
