Note that if this DW community gets reused for future events, this post may be left as a sticky, so you may want to keep things general. (No fear, you'd always be welcome to reintroduce yourself!) For anything related to the event specifically, please use the regular checkpoint posts.

Name: Rems
Collective/Main site: farron.net, norvrandt.org

Latest finished project(s): Deadlock Rebel, a tribute to Ashe from Overwatch. If in doubt, I'm thinking about the cowgirl. ❤️ The site was finished back in March, so she needs a bit of updating as I have an entirely new game mode I've sunk an embarrassing number of hours into since it launched to talk about how Ashe plays in it, and a few new lore implications and progressions to tear into (impossible but true), which I will get around to soonTM.

At the moment I'm working on updating my tributes' file paths to folders so that instead of directly linking to a page (for example, farron.net/meringue.php) it drops the file type and comes through as farron.net/meringue. It looks much tidier to me. Whilst I'm doing that I'm taking the opportunity to add disclaimers with full disclosure on potentially sensitive topics discussed on site so I don't fall foul of UK censorship laws. :') not strictly necessary, but if any children wander in, I'm covered.

Next project(s): Either Amélie or my Wol site. The layouts are for the most part done (just coding alterations and tweaks), and I know what I want to write about my Wols - they're all interwoven around my catgirl, I love lorebuilding in established worlds - and Amélie is an exploration of my fascination with her through writing since I can't play Widowmaker at all :') her lore is very good okay.

Currents: The end of the year is a difficult time for me as it's the anniversary of my chronic illness. I am going through some other unrelated stuff...

I tend to do November writing, but I'm not certain my health will allow it this year. I've been tackling my behemoth of a fic (121k words) I wrote in November 2021 by almost entirely rewriting it, which I've been doing on and off in chunks since April. I have to be very careful about time given to words or I wouldn't be able to write at all, so it's a very slow process - I'm at 9/27 chapters rewritten, and I kind of don't want to add another longfic to the pile just yet, haha. I may write something smaller than 50k though.

In Overwatch I am playing too much stadium (not a fan of the fewer rounds implemented this week) and in FFXIV I am getting into Pilgrim's Traverse whilst levelling alts. Pilgrim's Traverse is a beautiful dungeon and full of such good vibes (and Norvrandt lore, my beloved).
