    IN WHICH HAPPY BOXING DAY!
    I meant to post while it was still Christmas (CST) but as usual I’m late. I hope my few remaining readers had a lovely holiday! Here’s a song that’s been in my head lately.

    Chuu is one of those who, according to her coworkers, really is just a ball of sunshine. Follow me past the jump.

    IN WHICH I LACK BURRITOS
    No, really. I haven’t been by my local burrito place in a long time, partly due to my mother, so I haven’t been able to get good inspiration for another Burritoverse story. Sorry. For now, enjoy my favorite J-Pop group NiziU.

    IN WHICH SCREW DEADLINES
    Hey, y’all. Been a few months. Whoever reads this, just wanted to show I’m not dead yet. Do you know NMIXX? You should.

    Right. Now, where was I? Oh, I’m sure I’ll figure it out below the jump.

    IN WHICH I LIED TO YOU (SORRY)
    So… Turns out it's been a full year (!) since my last story. I promised a couple stories in between but failed to finish them. But at least I got my annual Mayor Mare story in. Have some Twice as penance.

    More past the jump, if you're willing.

    IN WHICH I LIVE… SORT OF
    Hi. Been awhile. Not sure who's left to read this. I just now realized I accidentally added an "L" on my last 3 posts. Oops. Well, enjoy Sir Elton.

    So, after fixing my screw-up, let's get to the meat of why I'm writing, if you'll pass the jump with me.

IN WHICH I HIT A MINOR MILESTONE
As of today, Highs & Lows officially becomes my first (and probably only) story to reach 100 Upvotes. Yay me. :yay:

It's been over a year since I wrote it, about eight months since I made it public, and I'm still surprised that, of the stories I've written for this site, that's the one that people seemed to enjoy the most*. I don't understand how these things work sometimes. While I'm certainly not ashamed of the story at all, I've never tried to hide the fact that very little effort went into it. When I did my final readthrough, the extent of editing was I added one word before posting it. Maybe it's precisely that rawness that resonated with people.

Don't expect the same blitheness from Lows & Highs. It's turning out to be longer than I expected. Hell, I'm pretty sure its intro is about the same length as the entirety of its sister story. Now I just need to do the hard part: the dialogue.

*Except M***. He hated it and told me exactly why. I actually agreed with some of his criticisms and I've been striving ever since to not make the same mistakes. However, Sunset will necessarily be OOC in this story too, but I'll be tagging it AU just to be safe.
