pacificpikachuI went to Snafu Con with some friends, and had a fun time! The con itself seemed pretty chill, but I didn't do much at it besides Artist's Alley. That said, Artist's Alley was quite a success. I was just hoping to break even on the prints and my part of the table ($30), but instead I ended up paying for the entire trip and beyond, even with spending a good chunk of money on food! It's a pretty nice feeling coming home from a con with more than you arrived with, and this is becoming a more and more common occurrence for me. We had some difficulties with check-in, to put it mildly, but it ended up worth it. It was pretty odd, but also somewhat convenient, to attend a con in a casino. It was nice because there were lots of restaurants and whatnot, though I wish there had been a less expensive buffet (though the $24 one was really good). I wish my two friends who had originally planned on going could have gone, but I made some new friends and we had a great time together.
I think I forgot to post about them here, but I caught shiny Skrelp (via chain fishing) and a shiny Lampent (encounter in Friend Safari) in X/Y! I'm really excited to train them, and also hope to find more shinies as time goes by! It certainly seems easier to come across them in X/Y, which I think is both a good and bad thing. I haven't had as much time to play X/Y lately as I'd like--just so busy--but of course with Pokémon games I'll probably be playing it heavily for a long time, so it's not really a problem.
NaNoWriMo starts in about 48 hours and I feel unprepared, ahhh! I don't need to do a lot of prep work, seeing as I'm just continuing a fanfic I got 50k on the year before last, but still...! I gotta at least read over my 50k and get some feeling of where I'm going next. I hope I can get a good amount done on the story this November. I'd be so proud to finish this story, though with how little I got done in the 50k, I have a feeling it's gonna be very long...
1/1 Fennekin arrived, and it's so big and soft and adorable! I wanted to get a picture of it with Honey, but this proved to be more difficult than anticipated, haha. Chespin and Froakie are on their way as well, though USPS tracking is stupid and hasn't worked for something like two weeks now, maybe more. This is going to make waiting for my EMS package (which I'm paying for as soon as I get my paycheck and it processes in the bank) nearly unbearable and very frustrating.
That EMS package is going to be a treasure trove of goodies! I'm soooo excited to open it!
I also won this puzzle:
The thing with this puzzle is, I had this image and several others on my computer around 11-12 years ago, presumably scans someone posted somewhere. I really loved those puzzle images, though I didn't know what they were from. I was so excited to see this again, because I love this piece of art and it's been ages since I've seen it. Also, unique official Umbreon art is always exciting to find! I hope someday I'll find the others. I'll scan this image once I get it, though it might be a while because I won it after requesting shipping for my other auctions.

Date: 2013-10-31 03:54 am (UTC)I didn't know you could use NaNo to continue fanfics. People told me that I had to start a new story/fanfic from scratch if I wanted to do NaNo. I'm still debating whether to do NaNo or not. I have until November 4 to decide, since that's the first day I would be able to write anything.

Date: 2013-10-31 04:19 am (UTC)Technically you're supposed to start new things for NaNo, buuuut I'm being a rebel this year! If it's any indication, they even have a forum section for people who are intentionally breaking the NaNo rules. NaNo rules are more like extremely loose guidelines, as basically the goal is just to write 50,000 words in a month, all other details be damned. If you want to join, let me know and I'll egg you on!
