Hasn't it?
Guess what, everyone- I have a functioning laptop again, and when I'm not swamped with classwork, I'll be posting story material again! Woo!
In the interim, I began learning not only how to code, but how to draw. These two fit together better than you'd think, and I'll make a post soon (within the next week) detailing what this means. However, note that I'll only be providing background information on this project. As of now, most of the details will be kept under wraps, and I'll release what I feel is necessary when I can. Be warned that this is a good deal of teaser info, and is designed to generate mild interest. If it doesn't, I've failed. Hopefully it does.
As we are, I have to get to updating "Familiar", "Chessmen", "The Oddball Academy", "Outlands", and "Grayson Center", and I believe someone suggested he next chapter to "Travel Chronicles". I'm pretty sure that "What Lies Within" has remained immobile, though. Good thing backlogs exist.
As a side note, I've watched quite a bit over the past . . . what's it been, 8 months? . . . and my style is constantly being impacted by things I generally like. Notably, I've enjoyed Disney's treatment of the Marvel movies, I watched Cardcaptor Sakura on a recommendation, I'd have gotten further into Black Lagoon had I been able to find Episode 13 online, and I've watched a few hammy and overacted horror films. Oh, yeah, and my interest has been piqued by Scorpion, a show that manages to make a cast full of characters that share my general dry humor consistently interesting.
So, with all that said . . . I resume the mantle of Draconus. Turning to you.

I Need to Stop Apologizing.
Then again, that's probably the only reason any of you still put up with my atrocious update schedule. So, again, I must say sorry. I can't see myself updating in any reliable sense for the foreseeable future, so this page will be mostly dead for a while. If there are suggestions at "Travel Chronicles" or "What Lies Within", I could get a new chapter in there, and I might throw down an update here or there, but my schedule has been garbage recently. Wreaking havoc on my sleep cycle. I must look like some variety of zombie to civilized folks. Good thing Halloween's coming up soon, so I can say it was intentional.
Okay, a few things I need to
Repurposing
TBS is claming in an advertising campaign that September is Shameless Promotion Month. After a bit of Googling, I was able to verify this claim. So, I'll be running a shameless promotion of my own- little bios on the major characters of my five major original continuities- "What Lies Within", "The Oddball Academy", "Outlands", "Chessmen", and "Grayson Center". Every day in September, I will change the text of this Journal to reflect a different character- if you miss a day, you miss a character.
Yes, this is beyond shameless pageview-bumping. However, if you like a bio, check out the story that the character is from.
As to my reason for wat
Welp.
That was another disappointing contest.
ONE ENTRANT SUBMITTED. ONE.
Do any of you realize how pathetic that makes me look to the Internet, and how bad that makes me feel?
I think I should stop running contests on my birthday.
Anyhoo, I do believe that the one entrant really does deserve recognition here: LadyAdelyne97 submitted a black-and-white rendition of Flare of "What Lies Within": http://ladyadelyne97.deviantart.com/art/Flare-476128047
While she doesn't give herself credit for it very often, she's a talented artist, and I'm glad that the ONE submission I got came from her. She'll be getting her 54 Points in moments.
So, I'm 18 now
Sorry, Everybody
I haven't been able to reliably update. Blame life.
CONTEST REMINDER!
Contest A- 45 Point Prize
As the Draconus, or as I explain every so often, the Lord of Dragons, I have quite the affinity with the one beast every mythos can agree is the big dog among the magical monsters. From the Germanic flaming maiden-eater, to the Asiatic inventor of language, to the African flying lizard that eats elephants at a gulp, these things get serious respect.
So what's the contest about?
Well, as their Lord, I have dominion over dragons. The point of this contest is to create an image or piece of fiction that has me doing as my title implies- controllin

I'm glad to hear you're able to post again. It'll be nice to see some updates to "The Oddball Academy" and "Outlands".
Also, good luck with the drawing. 😊
