As of today, I’ve been on BZPower for 13 years. Being 24 years old, that means I’ve been on this site for over half of my entire life, so I guess that’s kinda cool. Let’s see how productive this past year was for me:

-Wrote An End Escaped, which I rather like

-Hosted Slizer Mafia 2: Okotans’ Revenge, which I think went well

-Hosted Slizer Dome US, which did not go so well

-Finished Shooting Star Sonia 2, ending up with a 100k word story that I wrote in roughly a year while holding myself to a biweekly posting schedule

-Wrote Slizer Mafia 2.8, which honestly I probably didn’t need to do

-Hosted For Coronet and Cancellation [slizer Mafia 3], which was woefully short

-Wrote Glimpse of Horizons, which I also rather like

-Hosted Mafia XXXIX: Hotel of Okoto, which had one unique mechanic and that mechanic ended up being a flop

-Wrote Second Star for The Legend Continues, which was fun even if it did poorly in the polls

-Wrote Toa of Fire, which is okay

-Wrote She Understood, which…I’m not really sure what to say about

-Just kicking off Wall of History (Signups are closing tonight!)

Well, that’s fairly productive. Rocky, but productive. You can also see how my style of Mafia hosting gradually became “the Mafia steadily wipes out the village while I play unfitting music.” Good times.

It’s obviously tough to say for sure what the coming year might bring, but I already shared several things I’m working on/considering recently. Progress on Shooting Star Sonia 3 is…slower than expected, but it is happening. I was just reminded that this December is Mega Man’s 30^th anniversary, so I’m considering waiting and posting the story on that day as a way to celebrate, and probably with the first few chapters close together to hopefully make up for the extra wait. On a different note the world of Olkir is also coming together, so I may just do that casting call before too long. Maybe next month?

Here’s to another year!

(Wow, not a single Kingdom Hearts joke.)
