So, last night posted up the first bit of real content for Neko Machi ([link]). Admittedly it's just the chapter heading (with a lovely picture of Kitty), but from here on we're aiming to have regular Monday-Wednesday-Friday updates. Check it out! Tell your friends!

I'm also participating in NaNoWriMo again this year ([link]), and bending the rules a little to take a stab at finally finishing UFO Girl. So far it's going pretty well, but I need to step up my writing a bit to keep up.

It's really crazy and scary and exciting and stuff, but my old webcomic is coming back. Seriously. My very talented friend was thinking about doing some kind of webcomic, and I'd been wanting to resurrect and reinvent Neko Machi for a while. I've got a new website set up, at the same URL ([link]), though it's going to take a little time to get everything fully set up. (WordPress with ComicPress is very awesome and powerful, but certain things require you to get kind of advanced.)

The new version is going to be about Kitty and company starting community college, and we're aiming for a Monday-Wednesday-Friday release schedule, starting relatively soon.

Many thanks to all the people who've enjoyed and supported Neko Machi over the years, and even more to dear piggy for taking up this project! ^___^

Edited To Add: I've been working more on writing and planning, and talking to piggy about various things. She's going to start posting actual comics on the site around the end of October. So, Happy Nekoween!

After a lengthy drought, I've suddenly become very inspired to work on actual prose stories, and as you've likely seen, both the long-overdue rewrite of Being a Real Catgirl and the first draft of Dandelion (the latter dedicated to came together with surprising ease over the past couple days. Hopefully more will be coming.

Also, when I was getting started on doing my RPG podcast I decided to make audio recordings of some of my weird short stories. I've now started up a podcast (Is there anything Wordpress can't do? Don't answer that.), called Trapped Inside the Dream Forever. For the time being it'll be updating on Fridays, though it'll get very, very irregular once I've recorded and posted all of the stories I think are worth recording and posting.

For no good reason, I've decided to get into recording myself talking. Yesterday I experimented with doing an RPG podcast, and today I decided to try recording one of my short stories. I went with "Another Catgirl".

Another Catgirl Audiobook (14 minutes, 37 seconds/10.6M)
Animal Town Audiobook (11 minutes, 34 seconds/5.34M)
I Hate Mars Audiobook (12 minutes, 1 second/5.5M)

What can I do to suck less at this? Any other stories you'd like to see get the audio treatment?

Anyway. Back to work.

I put together an all-Kurumi gallery thingy on my website. Between tracking down more artwork and scanning in the stuff I got at Wondercon, I'll be adding entirely too much more stuff in the near future. Enjoy!
