I finally brought up enough courage to log in again…

It’s been a while, and I deeply apol­o­gize for those who still fol­low me for my sud­den death and long-time dis­ap­pear­ance. Some life issues hap­pened, plus I was a lit­tle… trau­ma­tized (too strong) by a cer­tain expe­ri­ence with aniblog­gers dur­ing Otakon and wanted noth­ing to do with aniblog­ging for a while. I think I may be recovering…

Nev­er­the­less, given my per­sonal and career com­mit­ments nowa­days, it sim­ply isn’t pos­si­ble for me to blog anime any­more — Major Arcana as an anime blog is for­ever dead.

Good thing I never made it to be an anime blog. I think that’s part of where I went wrong was when I pre­tended to use this place as an anime blog.

In fact Major Arcana orig­i­nally started up as a project/personal blog, and I fully intend to return it to its roots. I might still write about anime-related stuff every once a while, and def­i­nitely try to squeeze time for light nov­els again (Because almost nobody writes about light nov­els!!! Does the ani­fan­dom read any­thing with­out pic­tures!?!? Hon­estly the lack of trans­la­tions for excep­tional light nov­els, espe­cially out­side the seinen sec­tor like Hakushaku to You­sei or Saiunkoku Mono­gatari is one of the great­est tragedies of ani­fan­dom!!! /rant). But hon­estly, there are more than enough peo­ple aniblog­ging as it is.

Far too many… and they don’t need me to squeeze in, and I never did like crowds…

As for projects go, well using Major Arcana as a VNRPG project blog was a chap­ter of my col­lege that won’t return. But, after I stopped blog­ging last year, I finally real­ized what part of me I had to shelve for one-and-half years to make this blog work. My spe­cialty has never been about build­ing my own per­son­al­ity, a skill rather needed for blog­gers. Nope, I’d much rather go back to the cre­ation process, work on set­tings and char­ac­ters— besides, there are few things that allow one to appre­ci­ate oth­ers’ sto­ries more than writ­ing some yourself.

In 2011, for the first time in my life, I man­aged to fin­ish NaNoW­riMo.

It’s been going through revi­sions upon revi­sions of edit­ing ever since, thanks to my friends whom I (forcibly) drafted~

So there you have it. My love of light nov­els fully extends to writ­ing them… and that’s where I’ll be tak­ing this blog down again.

But for those who fol­lowed me to talk about anime, well I guess this is a (belated) good­bye! \o/ Hope to catch you every so while, still around the sphere.
