General
tl;dr I'm fine. I've just been working on a huge story.
It's been 5 weeks or so since my last upload, so I figured I'd post something just to let everyone know I'm still alive, and that I haven't been hospitalized, my computer hasn't exploded, I didn't fall off the face of the internet, I haven't moved to Mars or spontaneously combusted or whatever.
I have, however, been working on several things, which will hopefully get posted fairly soon. The main one is the commission at the top of my queue, which is easily going to break my record and push me past my next milestone. I didn't expect it to be so ambitious when I began outlining it with the commissioner, but it's grown and has been extremely enjoyable to work on.
I also have been poking at the commission at #2 in my free time since it's much shorter, and it's being reviewed, but it may not get posted for a while.
The next Quick Slot has gone to
 Zenkopan, who had the most interesting idea out of those presented to me (and all of the people who had ideas had won Quick Slots before, so I went purely off which idea sounded the most fun). I'll only give a small hint as to what it is, but it involves a canon furry duo.
There have also been a couple of personal projects I've been poking at. It all started when I went "You know, instead of a bunch of scattered .txt files, I should collect my ideas into a single .doc file with headings". Which I did, but in the process I also came up with like 5 more ideas and then a few more here and there from that. So right now I have a half-written stand-alone one-off, the start of a story I'll release in chapters (probably 3-4), and an outline for the story I'm going to use my upcoming personal slot on. But on top of those I also have several more vague outlines of stories to work on at some point or another, including, of course, the fourth story featuring Code and Zhen.
Finally, November is coming up which will mark the 4th year that I have been writing stories here on FA. I will toss all my published stories into a Markov chain again and see what manner of partly-intelligible nonsense it comes up with for fun, as well as update the stats I published last year.
So that's all - just wanted to let everyone know that it's been quiet because I've been working on another gigantic story. It's in the editing phase right now, and will hopefully get published within a week, so keep an eye out.
