This!

Guess who had a shite art year? Ironically though I did have my 2nd best ArtFight year with 11 pieces & at least I was marginally more inspired to write than last year.

Thank you all for sticking around, also for the zines, which have arguably been my focus in 2023, so — here's to 2024 ✨

🎊IT'S TIME!!!🎉 THE PDF VERSION OF ABOUT THAT SUMMER IS ONLINE!🛒

You can download it here!

🧵What will you find in this new version?🧵

A nine-year long story about two boys falling in love with each other. Misunderstandings, confessions, contrasts and resolutions. When what brings together is true love, no obstacle can divide what fate must unite.

In this PDF version of About that summer:

- you'll find a 246 gray/coloured pages story;

- I corrected all text and fixed grammatical errors. I also corrected any contradictions in the story;

- you will find new, unedited illustrations;

- you'll find funny sketches between chapters;

- you will find the whole NSFW chapter;

- there's also the Matsuhana side chapter.

RECOMMENDATIONS: There is a NSFW chapter, if you want to see the sfw, you can find it on my Twitter or pixiv (links in my bio). Please, respect the artist's work, who spent a lot of money and time to create it.

- DO NOT RESELL - DO NOT REPOST - DO NOT SHARE.

Thank you so much for your support and....enjoy!

The process of writing a book fanfiction

The process of writing a book:

Never Change A Running System

Fandom: Haikyuu (My contribution to the @ngczine) Type: Short-Story (5.1k words) / Canon-Compliant Focus: Next Generation Seijoh Ships: no explicit mentions (but feel free to imagine the classics) Rating: General/Teen Up (for occasional swearing)

Summary:  Watari is starting to think something went wrong when all the new first years are coming to him instead of Yahaba - but maybe, considering that his best friend is busy taming a certain Mad Dog, the underclassmen's fear is justified.

Or: A story about how Yahaba, and with him all of Seijoh, struggles to fill out some big footprints

Preview:

“Watari-Senpai!?”

He looks up at the five first-years, presenting him with an assortment of items. The suction cup for uncovering the holes in the gym floor that harbour the net poles. The hand-full of pins used to secure the net. A whistle. An empty drink caddy. And a clipboard with nothing clipped to it.

“Yeah?”

“Where should we put this?”

Watari opens his mouth, then he stops, furrowing his brows, and looks around the gym.

Sure, he is a third-year now and technically a senpai, but still—there are other people better suited to ask such things. The captain for example. Or the vice-captain.

In retrospect, Watari should have been able to deduce the cause of their absence by simply listening.

After all, Yahaba is yelling at near peak volume, which is not nothing, but to Watari, yelling in the Aoba Johsai volleyball gym has become just another form of white noise after spending two years under the care of Iwaizumi Hajime.

His best friend has Kyotani in a headlock, shaking him viciously. The Mad Dog looks relatively unimpressed, face turned away, arms crossed over his chest, lips pursed in a silent ‘tsk’, giving short, snappy comments in response to the dressing down, which do nothing other than sprinkle oil into the fire.

Watari sighs—oh not again!

If he were a first-year, he’d not go anywhere near that either.

Some style/design experiment featuring my secondary sona Leviathan.

I haven’t been very happy with the original design of the upper horns recently, because I never manage to get the curve right, so I’ve decided to explore some alternative shapes - don’t know if I will make this design permanent yet, but I like it plenty for now ^-^

Art made by me, character is mine too, please don’t use, trace or heavily infringe!  You can also find my art on DeviantArt where I go by CharlyLee.
