IT'S HAPPENING!

AAAAAAAAAAH! After all these years! I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self DON'T GIVE UP, it WILL eventually happen, and it'll be better than I EVER could have imagined. I would've been satisfied with a 1:1 port back in 2006, this is far and beyond what I ever expected. I can't wait for November! :squee:

I always felt like "Ridley is too big" was the biggest bullshit excuse ever. I mean, Kirby, Captain Olimar, and King Dedede are considerably scaled up from their official sizes, and Bowser is scaled down (sometimes significantly) from his official size. I feel like Metroid is finally getting some of the representation/respect it's long deserved. Now if Dark Samus got in as well to smash everyone using Phazon the Metroid franchise would be all good.

UPDATE: I am now completely satisfied. I don't think there can be anything else to Smash to make me happier (well, not realistically anyways).

A New Journal

2 min read
Well, I haven't had much to say in almost two years, but it's time I made a new journal. Having the journal about KC's death as the most recent one for this long makes it seem like I'm still grieving/having trouble moving on, and I'm fine (although that doesn't mean I don't miss her) now.

So, have I done anything in two years? Naw, I haven't left the house ever and just have people drop groceries and games on the front step that I swipe up when no one's looking. Laughing Actually I went up to Oregon for the total solar eclipse last summer and it was amazing! I didn't write about it at the time due to adrenaline/was doing other things up there as well. But after witnessing totality I have to say I can understand why people travel all over the world to see it over and over again. And how people could panic and think the world was ending before we understood what was going on!

I'm slowly trying to get back into an art groove (or whatever would be the best term, my mind's running a little blank at the moment). I've got a few ideas floating in my head but we'll see if I can get anything from it.

Last night I got word that a longtime friend of mine, KC, passed away. Six months ago she was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer and just never had a chance. I met her on the old K-Board and so many good times were had there and on MapleStory. It's hard for me to express in words the sadness I feel, the anger that she had to die so young with so much suffering, and the helpless that there was nothing I, or anyone, could do to save her.

So long, KC. I will never, ever forget you. You didn't live long, but you did prosper.

It's been a long time since I've done a real update here. I don't know how many people here know this, but this year is the 20th anniversary of Super Mario RPG. The actual date has come and gone (with nothing to show for it at this time), but I have definitely been thinking about it a lot lately. Recently I took a trip down memory lane with an old story of mine, Through the Eyes of a Frog Prince. Technically the story is unfinished, as I never wrote the final scene. I was considering doing so for the anniversary proper, but as I wrote the rest of it so long ago it would have been very noticeable. I've come a long way a writer in 12 years!

Instead, once I finish my current art project, my next one will be Through the Eyes of a Frog Prince: Updated! It will be more than just going back and fixing spelling errors (I still can't believe that computer didn't have a working spell check on it.) I plan on going back and not only removing or fixing clunky scenes and dialog, but adding fresh, new ones as well. Not only that, I'll create a cover image to go along with it! Neat, huh?

The biggest issue is that sometime after 2004 deviantArt added a size limit to text files, and these were quite sizable ones. Ideally I would just update the upload proper, but it might not be possible to do that. What will most likely happen is I will scrap my old uploads, so old followers may still revisit the old version if they please. In their place I'll upload the updated chapters, likely in multiple parts. If this winds up being the case rather than update everything at once I'll work out a schedule and upload it slower, as if it were brand new again. As there are no limits (that I know of) on FanFiction.net I'll simply replace the old files and upload the final chapter. To make it fair for the readers exclusive to here, however, I'll only do so when I reach that point. =)

I don't have an estimated timeline for this beyond later this summer. Although I still have all the old files on hand, it's going to depend on how much will need to be rewritten. I might possibly have to start from scratch on some, or all, chapters. We'll just see what happens. I just hope everyone is looking forward to it!
