News, Random Stuff, and a Flood Warning
11 years ago
News
Have any of you ever been sick without really noticing for a while? Well, I certainly have. Recently I had been pulling quite a bit of overtime at work and I thought exhaustion I had been feeling upon returning home had been due to that, but nope, I was sick. So, instead of doing anything about it I just unknowingly let myself get worse and did not even notice I was doing so until I started feeling weakness in my right hand.
Thankfully, exhaustion and weakness in my hand was as bad as it got and the only treatment I have to take in some ibuprofen for a few weeks. That's already handled the exhaustion for the most part and my right hand is just about completely recoverd (even though my sickness has tried to regroup and is attempting to counterattack my left hand).
Unfortunately, that has kept me from doing much writing and from working up the energy to post all the art I've received. Fortunately, I am now getting back to writing and I will be getting around to posting all my art shortly. That also means I have quite the flood of art incoming, so sorry for cramming your inboxes.
Random Stuff
I guess being delayed in posting the art I have received for about a month might not have been all that bad a thing. Having a nice big art flood with the release of the new "Godzilla" film coming in a little over a week seems kind of appropriate. So, in honor of the new "Godzilla" movie coming out I guess I'll talk about some other macro stuff for anyone that actually cares.
It's hard to say when I first started liking giant monsters, but I remember liking Godzilla movies for about as long as I can remember. Of course, there were never enough Godzilla movies and that meant repeated trips to the neighborhood Blockbuster. There was some nice material there and someā¦not so nice material. Then again, even movies that weren't so great could still have some nice stuff in them, so it was still worth it. I still have fond memories of scenes from some of the old Harryhausen movies, the Carnosaur trilogy, the Crocodile movies, and even accidentally saw my first porno, Dinosaur Island, looking for giant monster stuff.
Here's a couple of my favorite scenes from the old Blockbuster days:
Thank you random police officer that thought a pistol that might not even one shot kill a human would be all that effective against a dinosaur of that size. You made for a wonderful little vore scene.

Ah, drunk rednecks and giants. What a wonderful combination.
Of course, even Blockbuster's supply of videos eventually ran out and I was forced to turn to the internet for my giant monster fix. When I first started searching I just hoped that I was not the only one that enjoyed giant monsters as much as I did. And let me tell you, the internet was quite the eye opening experience when I finally stumbled upon the works of the likes of
cougr and
rogue . I may have already seen porn before, but not anything where the giant was meant to be the sexy one. The discovery that there was a whole 'macro' fandom that was constantly pumping new and wonderful material was more than I could have hoped for.
For a couple of years I was far too shy to actually actively participate in fandom though. I'm not talking about writing stories, I'm talking about being too shy to so much as comment on anything. But, I eventually managed to crawl out of my shell long enough to give this whole writing thing a try, to try and help be a part of spreading the joy I had received from the works of others. That turned out to be pretty fun. And then I graduated from that money sink known as college and I could actually afford to commission things. That was a time of great joy. And now, here I am today, flooding your inboxes, hopefully with things all of you reading this like as well.
Oh, and I will be attending my first furry convention soon. If any of you are going to Anthrocon 2014 I hope to see you there.
tl;dr: There is not tl;dr version. Read it or don't. XP

With Godzilla 2014 coming out in a week you can imagine there will be lots of new artwork, hype and talk about him. Specially as he's a figure-head for the macro fandom and Kaiju fans everywhere. It'll be interesting to see what you think of it all and what artwork you post once the times comes.
It was also nice to see how you first came across giant monsters and the ''Beast from 20,000 fathoms'' was a fun film to watch. It's hard to think of any more on top of that at the moment. Although I did not like the ending much.
So congratulations with overcoming your shyness, graduating from college and posting this journal. It was fun to read about your macro origins and how you came across the fandom. Have fun at Anthrocon and make sure to keep us posted.
I am certainly enthusiastic about the new Godzilla movie and I greatly look forward to seeing it. Getting to see what fan art of him pops up will be a fun experience.
I'm looking forward to Anthrocon too and I will certainly keep people updated about that.
Still, it will be nice to get back to writing.
Haven't been able to do much writing lately. The exhaustion was pretty much causing me to fall asleep after washing up and eating diner after coming home. That really ate into the free time I would use for writing. Then, even if I was awake I felt too groggy to put a good story together and the weakness in my hands just made typing for any length of time awkward and annoying.
I hope your AC 2014 will be awesome! I'll be there, as well! :D
And thank you.
And I'm sure I will have fun. :)
