I have added a new notice to the Loveless frontpage regarding cosplay and publication. As of this writing, I have received two separate requests to publish single copies of Loveless as a book—primarily for the purpose of Crisis Core cosplay. To add insult to injury, in one case, the requester had only read a "small portion" of the story, and in the other, not at all; if either of them were familiar with my fanfic, they would know that it has nothing to do with Crisis Core, and in fact, contradicts it (seeing as how it was written well before that game even came out, and involves a lot of invented backstory).
Both of these requests were kindly turned down, as will any similar ones that I receive in the future. Publishing fanfiction in book form is too controversial, and I'd rather avoid trouble. Besides, even if such a thing was totally kosher, I would prefer Loveless books to be in the hands of people who like the story and/or want to read it in that format, not those who want them as mere cosplay props. Thanks for reading; I hope you all understand where I'm coming from.
A long-delayed update has been made to the Shopping Guide today for Book-Off's move. Not much to say, except that it's now a few blocks away from its old location in a bigger, roomier space. For more details, check out the Guide itself. Thanks to Steve for the reminder!

Did a piece of Cave Story fanart late last month, which I made some final revisions to today. Check out "Balrog and Misery" (yeah, I was stuck for a title). I also made a new Deviant Stamp back in January that addresses the issue of too-large watermarks, which is here.
In more recent news, over at Brain Scrap House, I just posted the last entry in my three-part account of PAX East 2010. Here they are, in order: Part One, Part Two, and Part Three.
This year's Holiday Card, featuring the Elric brothers from Fullmetal Alchemist, is now up.
Have a great holiday and hope to see you all next year!
Earlier this month, I posted a Metal Gear Solid/Twilight fanart piece, which I went back and tweaked today. If you haven't seen it yet, or wish to see the final version, please check it out here.
In other news, Brain Scrap House has a new home. It can now be found at its own URL, brainscraps.net, though the old "brainscraps.blueshinra.com" addy is still good as well, at least for now.
Finally, I know it's been over three months since the last AVALANCHE Chronicles chapter; I've simply been busy with other things. Unfortunately, the next installment won't be up anytime soon, but rest assured that I have not forgotten about the fic and do plan to continue on with it. Thanks for your patience.
Tiny update today. For those who hadn't heard through my blog or elsewhere, the Asahiya Bookstore in Manhattan has sadly gone out of business. As such, the Shopping Guide has been updated to reflect this loss; I also made some small tweaks here and there, and updated the link for the Sanrio Store Locator. As for Asahiya, it is now immortalized in the Dead Stores list. (Special thanks to Steve.)
