Halloween was a bust, and Yuletide '20
I had a freshly opened bag of Wether's Original butterscotch hard candy open, and a salad serving spoon, and my mask all ready for trick-or-treaters, but didn't have a single one. T.T I've lived in my condo now for 5 Halloweens, and only once have I had trick-or-treaters. I did a little dance of joy after their visit, two years ago now. I guess living in an industrial area on 3 sides doesn't lend itself to trick-or-treaters, especially when there are well-established neighborhoods a short drive away. I did hear kids' voices later that night, and ran to the front door to look for them through the peephole, but it was my neighbors across the hall coming home, with bags of candy. They went inside.
Yes, I am disappointed. Oh well. I'm glad I bought candy that *I* like, at least. Since now I'll be eating all of it. Should last me until well into the new year.
In lighter news, this year I did not sign up for the Yuletide fanfic exchange, once again. But I am writing at least one treat for someone. (A "treat" in fanfiction exchange terms is a story you write for someone without drawing their name out of the virtual Santa hat as your secret recipient. It is completely voluntary.) If I finish the story in time for Christmas Day, great! If I'm late, no worries, I can post the finished story later and no one will be disappointed. Very low-pressure.
Have chosen the fandom, which I feel fine sharing here, as I'm not an official Yuletide participant the the odds of my upcoming treat's recipient seeing this are pretty much zero. It is for <i>Given</i>, one of the manga series I have lettered. A love story among the members of a four-man band. Two couples. :3 It's really well written and drawn, with excellent characterization. I am fortunate to have been able to work on this series, I must say. I ended up needing help to finish vol 3, and I gave vol 4 up entirely to a pinch-hitter because my work load at the time was exceedingly heavy, but I still count it as my series. Vols 1-4 are out now, and vol 5 should be arriving shortly. There is a vol 6 in Japan, but no word yet if it will be released here. I do hope it if is, I can letter it. The anime IS out on Crunchyroll, if you'd like to watch it. Here is a link to their first song performance, a very powerful and raw love song: Mafuyu's Song.
I am still reviewing the manga, and will be watching the anime after. I hope I can write a wonderful story for the recipient to enjoy, and many other fans of the series, as well!! Everyone, wish me luck. C:
Does anyone know if Zoom write-ins are a thing? Please LMK!
