oh wow
oh WOW

well that certainly gives me my second wind for my Dec 25 site commitments and other improvements

I'm deploying an image-uploader sensitive branch right now.
The site will be down briefly as I reprocess some of the image data.
This should take approximately an hour maximum.

Unachievable? Sure.

I'm in a moderately sized West Loop apartment with medieval decor, at a height where the view makes me lose my emotional composure. I have a corgi, an axolotl, a bearded dragon and a crow (that I have trained and received authorization to rear). The corgi and crow team up to wake me up, and I do so, just as invigorated as the morning prior, sipping on homemade cold brew coffee. A lust to create stirs.

I'm funded almost entirely by Patreon and merch for a revolutionary fantasy webcomic that I've also made mesmerizing animations for. Fans look to it with the same sense of wonder and melancholy that I felt in younger years, immersed in my favorite media.

There's a call from my legal consultant to discuss the logistics of recent offers to adapt it into a animated adult animation series. Because of its quality and insane popularity, I'm able to retain a lot of the rights other creators need to relinquish.

When I take a break, I use it as a chance to maintain the DAD site, which still houses a charmingly small and tight-knit community, some of whom I've helped financially sponsor in their artistic journey. I reach out to some old connections, and am glad to hear they found lasting satisfaction or a fulfilling art career, downplaying my involvement in their success.

Night falls. My friends are still living in the area, and despite our busy lifestyles, we still have a chance to hang out on Saturday nights. A few of them are captivated by my work, and bug me for spoilers on the next page I'll write.

As I walk home, inebriated, warm and blissful, my eye glances across the display of a bookstore that has closed for the night. The latest print of my comic is displayed prominently in the center. I'm finally standing among the giants, and have created something that will undoubtedly have a lasting legacy and both critical and common appeal, like Cowboy Bebop, Breaking Bad, or Lord of the Rings.

or i wake up one day and somehow i'm a dragon

I believe in you too, anon! And don't mind me and the site, I'm just here to continue facilitating the journey.
Every member of LAS, past and future, has the spark. There's that fragment of desire to keep at their craft and get better. And so long as I can continue to help people develop the bravery to keep going, and keep that spark alive, I'll do my best in this endeavor.

It's from a dragon dating visual novel game someone bought me for Christmas ironically. Fortunately, it's much more visual novel than dating sim, but that doesn't stop blue-ballsed scalies from making extravagant amount of porn of them.

As far as I'm concerned, I just like cute dragons.

A large update has been pushed to the site. The changes include:

> IMPORTANT: Fixed a bug where a "Weekly" post frequency cannot be assigned to a challenge.
> IMPORTANT: Fixed a bug where submissions required validation wasn't firing correctly.
> IMPORTANT: User list stuff actually works now.
> IMPORTANT: Challenge display redundancies fixed.
> IMPORTANT: Submissions are viewable by date (you'll have to change the url manually, but a UI option will be available soon)
> Redundant timer removed from home page and submissions.
> Added and updated some text and labels to clarify the submission and scoring logistics of challenges.

Next Up:
User profile page overhaul, including display of badges, submissions, clarity on submission rules, and your user icons looking more... awesome.

Now, if you excuse me, I have to scramble to get 30 minutes of art in to keep my streak.
