Critical Hit!

Or, Fuzzy got in a car accident last month (don't worry, the car got fixed- note to self, don't go to work with 6+ inches of snow on main roads and go 10 miles an hour) and still worked, his back hurts still even with therapy, and he's had to go down from 20 hours a week to 14 hours a week at work since the physical demands are eating his health- and he still hasn't been able to move out yet.

On top of this, Fuzzy's been here, but just lurking, and has been caught up in beginning to cram towards the end of his second year of studies for being a priest in training in his tradition, and on top of all of that, has artwork commissions that have been taking way too long and his world info has been piling up on him.

Suffice it to say that he's currently going nuts and will be lurking here periodically, but isn't officially 'active', since everything is trying to grab his attention for priority.

So, while none of this is a particularly 'bad' thing, it's just a whole lot of work, and half of Fuzzy's marbles are slowly starting to split open, and the rest are sitting around lost somewhere. And he also likes to note that he has no idea why he's using third person, but is currently very very tired, and loves all of you, hopes you're all okay and going less insane, and thinks you all rock.

Hehe. =) Yup.

At least I paid off the couple-thousand-dollar-debt I wracked up from last July until last month. My grandparents only have maybe 4k to live off of now, and we're worried about that, since my car insurance just went from its reduced rate (due to being a good driver 'til the accident) of 800 bucks up to... something like 1.5k a month or something. But aside from that, and going bonkers being cooped up and/or tired, I'm really glad I've got my worlds and my priest-training to look forward to.

Life goes on, yanno? ^ ^ Hopefully this year'll be The Year I Finally Get Out Of Here.

Take it one step at a time! Good luck with everything! <3

Thank youuuuu! *snug snug snug*

As of right now:

*Mardusion is up and running, but needs art and compilation into print form
*Tanazira needs mecha, drugs, and cybernetics/wetware (all of which I suck at), and compilation into print form. This world is so all-encompassing it's driving me bonkers, since you could put like... a Pern dragon rider in there and it'd be perfectly valid (Caco knows what I mean, as does Phee- they've played in Tanazira XD )
*Intirri is some 80-pages long of racial and world setting info, but by and large lacks a storyline, which is frustrating the heck out of me because until I come up with a good one, I can't print the thing- and my intirrian dragons are in there too! (They take up a good ten or more pages.)
*Athos is printed and complete (woo!)
*Kashbrinaari is printed and complete.

Right now, I'm *amazingly* stuck on gravity spells for a breed of Ruban, since I fixed up the breeds by fixing the magic system, switching appearances to fit the new elements, etc, and rewrote all several hundred spells by hand, formatting them into Quark XPress 6.5- as soon as I can get 23 gravity spells, I will be SO happy, because then I can actually get the rest of the breeds (which are ready and waiting) completed- and then the fun stuff, which is mostly copy pasting text in and then I can finish up by doing the wildlife and Astral Planes chapter with all the spirits and whatnot, and then the apocalypse chapter and storyline info, and THEN fill in the blank spots with art, and THEN print the huge thing. It's already over 100 pages doublesided, and it's going up and up. @.@

After that, I have to figure out what to do with Daatimir, because it was a Matrix-y world before the movies came out, and after they came out, I got disillusioned, and remodeled the main races over and over, but nothing really worked, and now I'm working on a race who's supposedly from it...

@.@

For the gravity spells, maybe looking at telekinesis style abilities and changing the 'from the mind' to 'manipulation of gravities'? O.o' I dunno!

Hrm. I dunno! ^^ I'll see what I can do for it. Right now, the Tricursis own my soul and they're not gonna give it up 'til I finish writing 'em. (They're a really nasty species- part Ancient Rubaran, no less! [blame Rashex for that one.])
