Opening Commissions

I know it probably looks weird, considering my inactivity, but I figured I'd at least try to motivate myself into writing again by sprinkling in commission work. Also, I'm in a bit of a money pit, and will be moving relatively soon, so I figured I should try to supplement my income.
There's gold in them thar smut, after all.

Area Man Not Dead, Just a Lazy Bastard

Okay, I feel I should say that no, I am in fact, not dead.
Sorry to disappointed.
Life has been busy, chaotic, and generally messy, but the good news is that since MLP is about to enter its final series of episodes, I figure I should just sit it out, and let the series end, before beginning my attempts to reboot any of my projects.

Perhaps I should undergo a reincarnation

Its been tugging at me, but I've been seriously considering of reinventing my account.
Basically, I'd create a new account, and then focus on that revised version of Harmony's Warriors I mentioned in my last blog post, and post it to that new account.

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

First things first, I'm not dead.
I've just been working on other things, and generally trying to collect my thoughts regarding Harmony's Warriors, since I've hit a horrific dry-spell.
After much thought, and talk with the venerable and honorable nightcrawler-fan, I've decided it's best to do what's basically a low-key reboot/refurbishing of the Universe.

Review: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Extended Edition (2014) · 12:55am Oct 20th, 2015

Peter Jackson’s extended edition of the final entry in his Middle Earth saga does a wonderful job at not only fixing many of the flaws that bogged down the theatrical cuts, but also serves as a fitting end to the saga.

The direction is good and solid, and with the 20 minutes of new footage, the film is able to breathe in a way that wasn’t possible with the truncated theatrical cut. Plot lines that felt undercooked or too quickly resolved are now given the time to properly grow and develop, and other plot lines can be given proper resolutions, where in the theatrical they felt incomplete.

Also, with this new footage comes a welcome sense of visceral impact to the battle sequences, with Jackson cutting loose and really letting the battles feel like battles, with realistic violence and combat. Also, Alfred, a character who was pretty much a massive waste of time, is finally given his just dues, and is finally killed off, where’s in the theatrical cut, he simply vanishes from the narrative.

So yes, the extended edition of The Battle of the Five Armies is a far, far better film then the theatrical cut, and I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars.
