Just a quick heads-up: Starting today, I'm going to be deleting comments that either request or demand a story update. If you're thinking of posting a comment like this, try reading the following short FAQ first.

Are you going to update Greenfire again?
Yes.

When?
I don't know.

Why not?
Because I have a lot more in my life than just writing.

But won't it help motivate you if I pester you with comments?
No. No, it will not.

Hey, everyone! Change For You has been out for a few weeks now, and I'd like to thank everyone who read, voted, favorited, and/or commented on it. I really appreciate all the compliments and criticism, and I'm so glad that so many of you enjoyed reading it. And it even popped up in the feature box and the popular stories box a couple times! (If briefly. Am I the only one here who doesn't have the slightest comprehension of how those things work?)

> Work on a one-shot fanfic, with the intent to enter it in a contest
> Announce said intent in a blog post
> Lose all inspiration for fanfic within a few days
> Suddenly gain inspiration for a different fanfic, one you've had the idea for since August but never started
> Write a little under 5,200 words in a week

So yeah, that sure is a thing that happened. o_O

Well, since this is the longest Greenfire has sat un-updated since I started, I think I should at least toss a quick heads-up here and let you all know what's going on with me. Plus this will be a nice first test of the newly reborn blog-tagging system.

So last month, not long after I posted about Pia-chan's gorgeous fanart, I glanced at the #greenfire tag on Tumblr, not expecting to see anything new. But what should I stumble over but another awesome piece of fanart? I linked it in the story description as soon as I saw it, but just in case you didn't see it already, here it is! Thank you so much, Fukaï, I absolutely love it. You

So I've been pretty much grinning non-stop since last night. Why, you ask? Well, because the illustrious Pia-chan was kind enough to illustrate a scene from the latest chapter of Greenfire! You can see her gorgeous fan art right here on her Tumblr! I've always loved her art, especially her various adorable Sparity pieces, so to see that

It's been a while, so I thought I'd drop another quick update into this blog space thing. I would say the next chapter of Greenfire's about 60-70% finished. I know where I want to go with it, but it's been hard putting it into words. Writer's block and all. A lot of stress has been taken off my shoulders, though, since I've finally picked up gainful employment again. It's not a fantastically well paying job, but it is a paying job, and that's what's important. Hopefully that reduced

Thought I should toss a note up here so everyone doesn't get too confused. This's the author formerly known as ShayCaron. Same writer, new username! I thought it was time for a change.

I was thinking of adding a blog section to my profile page, and it occurred to me that it would be helpful if I put something in my blog first. So... here we are. I won't use this regularly--heck, I don't update my ordinary blog regularly--but when I have info to share or things to point out about my stories, I'll talk about them here. For now, I'll just use this first post to touch on a few random topics. Sorry if you get a notification for this, because it's really not very
