Hi everyone,

Another year has come and gone, and with it, I am another year older. In the minds of some, a level of wisdom comes with this. But, I do not feel any wiser, though the challenges that come with it are ever more apparent with every year. For those who are curious, I spent the holidays on a small snowboard trip at the local resort. I enjoyed myself and am definitely spent. At the very least, I proved to myself that I could still snowboard despite the minor incident last year. Still, overall, the year was a good one, and I have only minor regrets.

Writing this year was relatively productive, though I focused primarily on work that I wanted to do. I was able to complete the final arc of the canon Pent and Xavier story. I feel like it came with pretty good closure, though if people are interested, I may revisit it at some point. Another small project involved them a bit more with macro/micro. Many are aware that this is one of my main interests, and I enjoyed exploring it. I was also able to start a new story arc and am looking forward to developing it further while hoping my watchers will enjoy it as well.

One thing I struggled with this year was commissions and trades. Commissions remain slow, and I take them as they come. I have learned to appreciate these when they come and enjoy working on things for others. However, I have realized that perhaps being a niche writer who writes primarily sfw stuff probably doesn't help much. As far as trades go, I am not reaching out as much anymore, as interest in trades tends to be less in the art trades. To those who have taken advantage of either, thank you for your continued support.

Looking forward to the future, I have one bigger project on my plate. It is unclear how long it will be, but it may end up being something I try to publish. If this ends up happening, I may not share everything online but will instead post teasers. I don't really have a plan yet, and I am unsure if trying to publish a book would be worth it. One hope I have for the upcoming year is to do more work for other people. It's not something I can control, but I am going to continue to produce my own work in tandem with offering promotions, events, or other incentives for people to commission or trade with me.

I would also like to take this time to show my appreciation for all the people who support me. Whether through commissions, trades, comments, or just friendship, I truly appreciate all of you. I try to interact with everyone, but socializing is not my strength. Despite the amount of work I have produced, I consider myself a smaller producer of content. I will continue to transition most of the money I make back into the community. I truly enjoy being part of the fandom despite not having much in common with most people here.

As always, I remain open for commissions and trades. Thanks for the continued support, and I hope everyone has a great 2026.
