Critters System

hi everyone! yeah, i got permission to do a post here. technically beryl bullied me into writing this, but that's details. gonna keep this short, hopefully; the others just got ready to put on some nail polish for the new year~

so, happy new year to all of you! at the time of writing, it's about an hour left here, and the banging has already started. unfortunately, it's not the fun kind of banging, so we're not quite vibing with it. we're also feeling a bunch of things about the past year, and anticipating the coming one. i'm gonna get us to do something more fleshed out with our goals and such later, both here and... well.

somehow, we ended up the kind of system where everyone has very separate interests. this is a problem in some ways, slightly less so in others, and something we're looking to tackle better going forwards, but in my case i ended up the computer toucher. with how things were between me and r2 a good while there, that's both meanings of that phrase c: specifically, i've developed a rapidly growing interest in html stuff as we've started setting up our personal site (cough cough critterssystem.neocities.org/ ), and now i'm debating if maybe, once we've fleshed the other parts out a little... what about adding a longer form blog there too?

it would be good to have our personally written stuff all in one place that's also relatively ours, considering the closest we've had to that kind of setup, aside from here, was cohost (rip). the arc of "eh we don't need a website" to "maybe having somewhere neutral to drop stuff is good" to "aaaaa this is fun" was a ride. however, what i (and the others) are thinking is to use that as something parallel to here.

this is, as of now, our official "write way too long posts" spot on the internet. the website league's competing, but that still feels way more daily drive/small scale compared to here. it means less posts here, yes, but longer ones when we do write. and if we combine writing for here with writing for a blog page on our own website...

look: i just really want to do websitey stuff when possible, and the others are positive to it, so we'll probably be cross-posting a bit once we get that set up. hoping to get it done in the near future; we have more words we wanna write on the new year, and i think i just successfully
convinced everyone that doing it like this will be great~

so yeah! might mean slightly more stable activity here, will mean some crossposting between here and our own site when that comes up, and an even cleaner place to store our own work as time goes on too!

anyway, gonna end it here for now. we were hoping to finish a story by the end of the year, but we've just barely been able to write the last couple weeks. technically started what might hopefully become a novel, though! and gonna go do some body-attached art now.

happy new year, all you wonderful creatures!
