It's not fair.

Why can't I write AND draw? Why is it that when I start writing, the gift of drawing deserts me, and vice versa?

Anyway, I haven't posted any pics for so long because, basically, I haven't drawn any. My artistic ability simply walked out the door one day and didn't even leave a forwarding address.

Fixed my website address; if anyone wants to come pay me a visit it's tangwistel dot com. Our forum's broken though

Aberystwyth. Aber-Ystwyth. Mouth of the River Ystwyth. For heaven's sake. Why is it that nobody can spell Aberystwyth? I guess I should just be glad I don't live in Eglwyswrw.

Well, after several years out of the fandom I'm writing a Legend of Zelda fanfiction. Frankly I'm amazed at how things have changed since I was a Zelda fan. And I don't mean they've changed in a good way. Are most modern fanfiction authors simply illiterate? FanFiction.Net used to be a great resource... now it just gives me stabbity urges.

I'm sure nobody ever reads this thing anyway, so I'll talk to myself for a while about my Zelda fanfiction. I think it's good, but I'd imagine the peons on FFN will disagree if I ever get to the stage of uploading it. It's a bit too original for mainstream fandom... kinda like Redux. Now there's a fic that got the cold shoulder. *sighs* Oh well. If I wanted popularity I should probably be writing stories about Link and Ganondorf having sex. I mean, that's a common pairing on FFN. This, after all, is a site with Snape/Sorting Hat porn.

I wish to God I was making that up.

Aah? What happened to my signatures thingie?

That's better.

And here I'd just gotten used to DeviantART, and they go changing things on me! Now I'm all confused again... I think I just submitted something, but I'm not entirely sure ~_~

It's been a long while since I made any entry in this thing - the main news is that I have a Side7. There's nothing there that isn't here yet so I won't bother linking to it. My username is metara if anyone from here does fancy dropping in there

I'm drawing a comic. It's an adaptation of my fanfic, Redux. It's drawn and painted entirely in Adobe Photoshop with a Wacom tablet, and the three pages I've got so far look rather nice. I'm still learning how to use the Wacom. I haven't had much time to do art this summer, what with the job and all, so that's why I don't have much to show.

Also: I have a new computer. I've called it Metara, because vanity is good.

It's amazing how your past can come back to haunt you.
