I'm going away for the holidays so I worked hard to get this up in time before I left. Consider it a present from me to all of you: Jackdaw, Chapter 4 is now up!

Surprise!
Lol, for me as much as you.

I decided, in a random urge to try something new, that I'll be doing an Akira-Route!

I'll be updating it in installments with no set schedule:

Well, we all knew it was coming at some point.

I've been trying for the last several weeks now to make some progress on Katawa Yandere with practically zero success. I'd like to chalk it up to some kind of ephemeral entanglement but that's just not the case.

Fact is that I'm just at a different point in my life than I used to be. More commitments, both personal and professional, mean that I just can't make the sort of large timescale dedications that I used to. So, after some soul-searching, I've decided that it's for the best to just bite the bullet and end it instead of letting my work go lukewarm.

I'm not really 'going' anywhere, per se. I'll still be on Steam, willing and able to chat or give you advice about your own writing. But I'm finished writing Katawa Yandere. If you want to begin anew in my place, message me with your pitch and some samples of your own writing for me to look over. Just be forewarned that I'll hold you to the same standards I always set for myself. I always cared deeply about the quality of the threads and that hasn't changed even at the end, so I'll only give my blessing to someone who's up to par.

If there's one thing Katawa Yandere was really 'about' it was the impetus to follow your dreams no matter what. That's kind of the main reason I chose a yandere theme to begin with. So I hope you can keep that lesson close to heart now that I'm finished as its author.

Well... I'm finished as the author of Katawa Yandere, that is. Not writing as a whole. That's my dream and I practice what I preach. So I'll still be writing, just not this. As for what I will be working on, I'm not gonna say any more now, but... well, one day you'll know. ;)

Finally, I'd like to close by saying it was an honor and a pleasure working with you all. You guys rock. It still blows my mind that some of you were with me from the very first thread literally years ago. And those of you who came along later were no less awesome. Regardless of when you joined, for each and every one of you, I hope you all were able to take something away from our time together.

See you, space cowboy.

- Akira.
