    Bit of a long story. I saw the new Star Wars movie and got back into the franchise in a big way, which naturally included writing fanfiction. Then I was like 'man, I should really pick up Champion Game again', resurrected the four-year-old monstrosity with a new chapter, and the rest is history. I'm based on Bulba at the moment, and I haven't touched Serebii yet, but I have a lot of history on PC so it seemed logical to drop back in here too.

    Well, now here's a name from the past! What brings you back to PC?

    Of course, haha. It's the best way to write. As I mentioned, I'm trying out planning ahead for the other chapterfic I'm working on at the moment, but so far I'm not enjoying it quite as much as winging it. It is definitely easier in some ways, though.

    It's always good to meet another "pantser" when it comes to writing.

    Well, the author is Douglas Niles. I haven't read it for a few years, but I remember it being good.

    Haha, there are a hell of a lot of them, aren't there. Prolific authors, aren't they?

    Well, you'd be surprised what people will do for an emblem. It's like, a status symbol among 'that lot'.

    I'll remember to look for it next time I'm in a bookstore (and not complaining about how every bookstore I go to has the same few Card books, and none are a complete set). I'm always on the look for new books to read.

    And don't worry. It's really kind of difficult to collect all the DragonLance books. I have two (small) book cases full of them, and I'm not even close to a complete collection.

    I think Nick's idea for his section works better because of the rewards. D: I don't have money to reward everyone. Emblems will just have to do. XD

    I got the ones I have from an old lady that lived next door, and I'm not sure she even knew they were missing one. Autumn Twilight is missing both covers, haha. Speaking of, she also gave me another book called *scans bookshelf again* Darkwalker on Moonshae. I'd recommend it if you haven't read it already.

    No, it's not relevant. That particular thread is in Other Entertainment, and not remotely related to fanfiction at all. Although I'm sure Patchy would be open to someone reviewing a fic, yes no maybe I don't know.

    Shame. Winter Night is my favorite of the trilogy. Don't have a favorite book from the entire series, except for maybe the art book. Too many books to choose from in DragonLance.

    On a stalkerish note, I was reading through your blog and saw, in one of your screenshots, an open PokeCommunity tab titled "Write a Review! (Contest)" Am I missing a thread somewhere, or is this some new idea? Because I'm quite tired, and it's highly possible that I missed everything everywhere.

    Hold on, those names ring a bell. *scans bookshelf*

    Yup, I have Autumn Twilight and Spring Dawning there, too. Been aaaages since I read them, though.

    And yeah, I do think it fits you, from what I've seen of Astinus, anyway.

    I decided to use the name while reading The Annotated Chronicles way back when. (The book combines the first three books of the DragonLance series: Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, Dragons of Spring Dawning. It's a huge and heavy book.) It creates very weird experiences when reading those books, or discussions online as to who Astinus really is.

    But in all the ways, the name fits me when I think about it.

    I came across the original Astinus yesterday while reading Time of the Twins, which I haven't picked up for years. I was a little confused until I remembered you saying something about it earlier. XD

    Reading about this Astinus was a strange experience @[email protected]

    Hi, and welcome back.

    I'm glad you like it. (There's a story that goes along with it, if you really want to know what it all means.)

    *waves* Hi, I'm back. Miss me?

    That's not what I came to say. I like your new avatar.
