A Jinx Thanksgiving, 2015 Edition
10 years ago
Hi friends and watchers!
Wow, I can't remember if I did one of these last year, I feel I might have, but the end 2014 was just a crazily busy and chaotic time. But yes, this year I feel I have especially good reasons to give thanks and reflect on the year in general.
1) Volcanic eruption under writing.
Holy shizz, this has gotta be the biggest development for me to be thankful of this year. As it stands (and I still have many to upload), I have written just shy of 150 stories or chapters in the past 7-8 months. Particularly in the last six, ever since I launched my 'Quick & Dirty' slots, and I'm still going strong on it, with no sign of burnout in sight, which I have truly feared. So thank you, you wonderful people, who have commissioned me, and those people who continue to do so time and time again. <3
I'm particularly thankful to one person in particular - a-lycotonum. Aco was one of the very first people (the second in fact!) to commission me, way back in May of last year, and has continued to do so on a very regular basis. Aco gave me the confidence in the first place that I could make a go for writing and his support and enthusiasm has meant a great deal.
This year however, I have people such as jaycen, kristen, hammerstriker001, rahka, barisaxophone77, attack1942, fangzahn who have further boosted my confidence with very helpful critique, advice, and return commissions. Thank you all. <3 Kristen and Rahka especially have been invaluable in helping me realise places where I can improve.
I have a few bigger plans in the works that will hopefully take off next year, including publishing my first novella! Stay tuned for more info on that particular development.
2) Friends, new and old - honoured mentions
This year, as in all previous years, I'm especially thankful that I have cantdecideonausername in my life. Skye and I sometimes drift away for a little while, but we always come back and stick together like chicken glue (in-joke xD). I'd be completely lost without her, and consider her as close as family. <3 Even though she calls my sharks fish dinners! You have no idea of the baleful eye she cast at my sharks when I first got bit by the shark bug a couple and a half years back. xD But yeah, thanks for being a central and deeply important part of my life, Skye! ^_^ Curiskye forever. <3
This bit of thanks is a very recent one, and someone I'm super glad to have stumbled across, this person being none other than tsundere.kitty. Tsun and I have become super-good friends in a crazily short amount of time, and she's just a rather awesome person and a very talented artist. Just look at the picture of Inconnu she did, in my highlighted gallery pic! She's doing another one like that for me too. <w< Can't wait! But yeah, check out her gallery, cause she deserves all the artsy appreciation!
This year I've grown closer to someone else, nautilusta, who I was more a casual friend of previously, and is still one of my absolute favourite artists. Collieface is just a very kind and awesome personage and I'm thankful that we have become such good friends. ^^ Don't believe she's as innocent as she makes out though, this is one lewd collieface. xD (Okay, I'm teasing, but only a little!)
lurigofreefox - Lurigo is my techie and PS2 appreciating bud, and always fun to chat to. Not only is he a technomancing fox, he's also a very talented artist and has recently unleashed a wave of awesome inktober sketches into his gallery, including one of Jax Valkyr, so check 'em out!
kishatashwood - Kish is a great friend, always friendly and thoughtful and fun to chat to, even though I tend to drift in and out of their life more often than most. I'm very glad to call this green striped shark a friend this year though. ^_^
jeanwoof - Yellow is just one of the most imaginatively talented people I've ever met, and a super cool person to boot. Her themes for artwork are always some of the most interesting and she rocks a personal art style that I really dig. She's totally one of my go-to people whenever I want to commission someone, and a great friend to boot. <3
For everyone else a part of my life and brings a little ray of personal sunshine to it, thank you!
3) Ain't gonna lie, I'm thankful I have a PS4. xD
Phew, that just about wraps it up! Much to be thankful this year, perhaps more than in any other year I can remember. Everyone, enjoy your delicious meals and good company and have a very fine turkey day!

And congrats on that rather staggering writing achievement! Still amazed by how you've managed to write that many stories in that time frame. @.@
Happy Thanksgiving, Jinx! Cheers!
Best of luck that you keep going on strong. I will always be there for you.
