All of this happened, more or less.

Cannister catch!

If you like urban fantasy and slice of life, with mysteries building in the background, you might want to give it a read!

An amazing commission by talented artist Mariposa Minako for my story Things You Cannot Forget, which is finally completed! It explores the strange and fraught friendship that develops between Yusuke Kitagawa of Persona 5 and Rin Tezuka of Katawa Shoujo.

I understand that most normal functioning brains need regular engagement to maintain a bond. Absence doesn’t diminish my affection. My silence isn’t neglect or disinterest. It’s time blindness and object impermanence. The contact gap is purely neurological, not emotional. Thank you for being patient with my inconsistency and holding a seat in your heart for me.

Never. All art is theft. The key is to study why a particular author used a particular tone, or technique, or presentation, and consider if that would apply to your own work. People love Terry Pratchett's dry wit, but it wouldn't necessarily be appropriate for a story about a Toni Morrison's Pecola Breedlove. Originality is an illusion created when skill passes through taste.
