Me about a month ago: Oh, hey, the AnimeTwineowa website has way more hits than I was expecting it to just now. By like one or two hundred. Neat. Wonder why that is...?

Me in the shower tonight: ...Wait a minute. What if Yuletide? 😳


I mean, I didn't write down when the hit count passed 1500 (though I definitely did a little dance in my seat), so I can't check dates, but uh. It's over 1800 now? And at least a few people may have looked at AnimeTwineowa with the hypothetical possibility of fanfiction in mind...

(Also, the last time I looked it was a good hundred less than the current number. And I think it only broke 1200 during AI weekend? Anyway, somehow, some way, my/our little game is apparently gaining some tiny bit of popularity!)

I didn't nominate any of it and I haven't looked to see if anyone else did, and—considering I only managed to do anything more writing-like than daydream about it for three days in November—this was not a bad decision, but I did ask if I'd want to nominate individual stories within AnimeTwineowa or the game as a whole (answer: individual, unless I wanted to nominate the frame story of the convention itself), so

Ooh. Related at least tangentially, you know Clockwork Under City Lights? I've got a story percolating presently, it's a steampunk thingie, and one of the characters is I'm pretty sure someone who makes the actual constructs as a hobby. Not as a fandom thing, since the anime doesn't exist in that universe (there's a century's difference and more between their when and ours, for one), but a genuine interest. A stained glass and gearwork, flight-capable griffin the size of a teacup, for instance. XD Can I get away with that, since the anime concept is now wound into Anime Twineowa?

Wait really? :D Those sorts of figures are absolutely a long-term hobby project for a character of mine, and with the steampunk technology of that universe, they're actually animate. Not self-aware at all, however, which is another difference from the fictional anime. The call is soc_puppet's, though.

Ooooooh! Twice, even, once for the copyright detail (!! I'd forgotten that, and if I'd remembered I'd probably have defaulted to assuming we shared the credit) and once for the okay for my elseworld character's in-story hobby. Palm-sized fantastical constructs are go. Thanks! <3
