Hey everyfurry. Things are going good, so I’m gonna share since we’re all friends here.
1. I had a great birthday
I had a birthday recently so congratulations to Me! for living another year. I got myself a pink Monster energy drink and shared it with Volo.
2. My latest post is doin Big numbers
And that feels good since I put my whole kokoro heart in that one. I’ve tried multiple times to get an Apple Black review started, so just focusing on the cover art is what finally made things click. If you want to give me a birthday gift, sharing that post with your friends would mean a whole lot.
And if you don’t want to encourage me writing 6,000 word autistic nitpicks, share my manga Dream Root with your friends instead (Chapter 2 is now online!). Or maybe share Dream Root alongside that essay. I’m not picky when it comes to gifts. And you really should get me something, since we’re such good friends.
3. Otaku Cafe will be the sugoiiest directory on Substack
The Otaku Cafe is scheduled to launch (ani)May 1st. I want to give an especially big Thank You to everyone who’s submitted their writing (There’s still time to be an early adopter, jsyk)
4. I found a Volo in the wild!!!
This is unbelievably cool. I found a Volo sticker in real life…. to say I was shocked is an understatement.
I hope whoever put it there has a great day. Thank you Volo sticker guy!!!
5. My latest oneshot broke into Mangalab’s daily ranking
My manga “How can a crybaby strip so easily?” climbed to 3rd place in Mangalab’s daily popularity rankings. Thank you to everyone who read it!
(This is confirming my suspicions that you don’t need good art to make it into their daily rankings, just a funny title.)
6. PolyMonFur is on hiatus
I’ll slip this in here instead of making a whole big deal about it. But it’s true: Polymonfur is on hiatus. Editor-sama rejected the last few drafts I sent him, but in a, “Son, I know you can do better than this” kinda way that’s filled with kokoro love.
And after the third rejection I was like, wellp, I’m out of ideas.
Luckily, Lumebento is letting me take the time off I need to think of something good, so I’m not just pushing slop through for the sake of meeting a deadline. So when it comes back, it’ll be awesome.
7. I’m back on the manga grind
I thought of a really cool idea for a manga oneshot so I have to draw it.
No post next week since I’ll be busy drawing that. And maybe the week after that too. Look at how big that storyboard is, it’ll take me some time. But this one’s gonna be good. Like, good without even needing a funny title (I’ll still try to think of a funny title tho).
Thanks for reading 🫶
