That... was incredibly stressful. I think it took a total of 30 cumulative hours to sort through all the artists I could think of and fave their works. Mind you, my own internet connection at home was broken, so I had to do this in this recreation facility (as in computers and vidja games, not anything remotely sports-like). I could find a solid wi-fi and an outlet for my laptop just fine, but this place is NOISY. Even playing my favorite music at max volume, I could only hear every fourth note. I could also hear other people's games, especially those games that have the tinnitus effect when a grenade blows up near you. Just about every sound effect from that special-ops zombie-hunting game was equally grating. I've never liked first-person shooters, but now these games have a special place reserved in my heart for my hatred of them.

Doing this was long overdue, mostly because I had this strange idea that I needed to contribute more to the fandom before I had the "right" to do so. However, after three years of Army life, my give-a-fuck is broken, so I did it anyway. I still plan to contribute more--a lot more, hopefully. But, I'm glad I did this. I got to re-evaluate my interests and preferences, and I got to see how artists have grown over the years. I have a new-found respect for a lot of them--though there are far too many to list here, I'd like to give props to  elwolfo for his stunning expertise in anatomy even in his earliest works. Trust me, this is just the first of many shout-outs I just may give.

This project... is not quite complete, though. I have not just a suspicion but a damned certainty (however unproven it may be) that I've forgotten someone. It's gnawing at me and I can't remember who or what I've forgotten to look at. There are some works, too, that seem to have vanished and I dearly miss. However, this was a very extensive project and my eyes and brain are very tired.

So, about the next works coming up in the pipeline:
-There's one about a soon-to-be father whose son has a very big surprise for him. It's mostly done, maybe one or two pages left, but the main issue I'm debating is whether to do what I want to do with them or skip ahead to adulthood where the age issue is no longer a concern. I'm leaning toward the latter so that I can get it done and freely publish it here, though I may go back and make two versions. I just don't know, though.
-I've started one that goes inside the mind of a madman whose experiments upon a wildly unwilling test subject go a little too well. Vore to follow.
-Don't worry, folks, I haven't forgotten my other story lines. Daniel still has his final brother and his father to deal with,
-and I'm going to go back to the laboratory with Mr. Solomon, as well.
-Of course, I'm always open to other ideas...
