Hi everyone!! I’m delighted (and touched) that so many people signed up within days after the event site was uploaded. I’ll try to advertise the challenge some more now that I’m no longer sick and the DW is ready. :D
I’m going to make a small dedication to Nanako Amachi, a character who shows up in one chapter/story of the manga The Top Secret, whose pilot chapter I’ve already made a shrine for. The motivation behind both shrines is very similar: digesting the story in writing so I can slowly shake off the still-vague feelings that follow me everywhere. For this one specifically, I also want to experiment in a different direction to explore what shapes shrines can take… I’ll see if I can pull it off.
The shrine’s been one of my dreams since at least 2021, and I have a despairingly awful graphic WIP from then (to be tossed and forgotten), a concept, a foreword, an outline that needs to be reevaluated, nearly a dozen paragraphs of drafts and many notes. This is one of the projects I have to get out of the way so I can start dreaming up new things. TIME TO SORT THINGS OUT FOR GOOD. >:(
