Wrapped up and finally validated, just in time for the European ORAS release. Thankyou, whichever kind person decided to postpone it for a week. Many will indeed have hated you, but I am grateful.

I'm also glad this thing is over. Not so long ago I was thinking it'd be nice if I could match my personal 72K best, but it probably woudn't happen. Then I went on and smashed it by 10,000 words. I still don't know how that happened. I don't know how a lot of this happened.

There's a lot to say about this novel. It's crack, but it's good crack. It's crack I want to polish and make public sometime. It's also... not half bad for a first draft, if I say so myself. But I'm saving it for later, because I have done more than enough typing lately.

So I'm off now to become a Pokemon master. I'll see you in the spring.
