[DISCLAIMER: I titled this with a 2 because I’m pretty sure that I’m reusing this joke from an earlier tracker. Plus, RDR2 is a great game.]
Keeping this update short! I’ll be taking a trip to Cali from 7/3-7/9 without much access to my compy, so here’s a thread tracker below the cut! See you guys when I return!
Barry owes: Dawn [drafting]
Barry is waiting on: Colress, Touko (AU)
Clair owes: Kris [drafting]
Clair is waiting on: Roxanne
Violet owes: Serena
Violet is waiting on: Shauntal, Sabrina, Thorton [plotting]
Thank you for being so patient with me--this summer has been busier than I expected so I haven’t been able to chat or thread as much as I like. Hopefully that will change as I settle into the season! And please let me know if I forgot you above--I forget sometimes, I’m old! FunOldDan
[[Sorry for poofing these last few days! tl;dr: I got really sick and landed in the hospital--whoopsy daisy. Finally feeling up to writing something today, so I figured that an explanation and thread tracquer would be nice--under the cut!]]
So, where have I been? Where the heck has Barry been? And why did they have to do regular Linoone dirty like that? Well, I’ve got nothing for that last one--it’s a Galarian household now--I do have some answers for the other stuff!
Long story short: I started feeling really tired while doing activity check (lol) on Sunday eve, and so I passed out. When I woke up, I felt RLY sick and dizzy. When I looked in the mirror, my ear, jaw and neck were all crazy swollen. I looked like the big-cheeks Mii. I thought a Weezing head was gonna pop out of my shoulder. I managed to drive myself to urgent care--thankfully just a few mins away--and the good doctor immediately diagnosed me with a hella-aggressive infection. I got put on an IV, and they finally let me go yesterday afternoon. (Big ups to Ash for handling the rest of AC on such short notice btw!!)
So basically, I’ve been sleeping. And taking antibiotics. And praising the makers of Ibuprofen (they are responsible for the existence of this post). And most importantly, I think I have everything under control for now. I am very tired, but OK!
Which brings me to my next point: I can’t seem to write Barry at the moment because the energy isn’t there quite yet. When I’m out of it, Barry is really out of it--and you guys deserve him at his best! Thanks to my thread partners for being patient--I’ll try my best to write him VERY SOON, hopefully this weekend! I’m sorry to keep everyone waiting!
And now, the finale: a thread tracker with 100 eons worth of dust on it (Dan was buffeted by the Sandstorm, etc.)
Barry owes: Leaf [drafting], Colress, Dawn
Barry is owed by: ---
Clair owes: Roxanne
Clair is owed by: Lance
Violet owes: Shauntal [drafting]
Violet is owed by: Sabrina
If I forgot anybody, send Darkrai to my place--I dare him to meet me in the gosh darn dream pit.
Also, while I have the energy, some quick random thoughts that don’t fit anywhere.
The new Fire Emblem is great, but the text is too small. Enhance, pls--there are nose prints on my Switch now.
Howdy WEople--this is your resiDant mun here, just letting you all know that I’m not dead (rumors have been greatly exaggerated). Sorry for the radio silence this week! Thread tracker + other updates under the cut!
So where have I been all this time? Well, to keep the answer short, simple, and crisp: school. Grad school has consumed my writing abilities, my free time, every fiber of my being, etc. Right now, I’m currently working on an end-of-semester analysis report thingy (that requires way too many pages), so my schedule lately has been work, get home, cry over a Hot Pocket, write until bed, rinse, repeat. My will to write creatively has been tested, but I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel--I will definitely be back in full force by early May. Count on that! Until then, replies will be happening, but in a slow trickle...like, I swear I turned the faucet off but it’s still dripping a teensy bit trickle. You feel me!
In the meantime though, here is the all-important thread tracker! Bop me one on the nog if I missed you!

Hey all, happy St. Patty’s day from up in the frosty north! Seeing as my thread tracking skills have been gathering dust for the past eon (or two), I’ve decided to poke my head out and survey the landscape for once! As always, school and work are taking huge bites out of my writing time so I appreciate your patience. :)
Anyways, after inserting this dramatic pause for pure effects, it is time. After three eons...an updated thread tracker under the cut!

Long story short, your resident FunOldDan is going back to VEGAS BABY (until 5/22!) for a wedding (not mine!).
There’s one big difference between the first time I went and now. The first time I went, I was three. Now, I am 23. It’s lit. Thanks to the mod squad for holding down the fort while I blow my entire life savings on blackjack and biers.
In other phantastik news, I have an open for one Gang Goon here and Anotha One (TM) for one salty sea lion here. If you want ‘em, they’re all yours--I’ll get right to responding when I return!

So it's been like, half an eon since I've done one of these, so I thought I would pump one out for my own sanity! As always, no rush in owed replies--I know this is a hecking busy time of year for all. If I forgot you or messed something up, please message me on here or on Discord!
