Admin Post: Community Check-In for July

[goss]

Today is the last day of the month, and the perfect time to check in and chat with us. How have things been with you? :)

Was it a busy month, were you swamped? Did you get the chance to take part in any fandom activities or are you working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Other than drawsome challenges I made a little 30x40 pixelated Terezi as a user submitted puzzle for the picross game Paint it Back. That was fun, I might make some more.

Mostly I've been working on a fic for Dragon Age remix. 26K and counting, I gotta get this thing finished /o\ I'm looking forward to Remix Revival, fanart remixes are much more my thing but harder to find oppurtunities to do.

Awww, I intended to sign up, but missed the deadline for the Remix Revival sign-ups. I'm excited to see how all the various works get re-interpreted. Good luck with your assignment, and you can keep us posted on how it turns out. :)

Also, very cool that you create both fan art and fic! I have zero skill as a writer, so I'm always fascinated by people who can do both.

Based on the relative feedback, I seem to be better at fic than art, but gosh drawing is more natural to me than writing, especially when I'm working from a prompt etc. My written remix took me a month of pain, my fanart remix took me a day of letting the idea stew and half a day of happy drawing.
