A Whole 12 Months...
But this is this year, and in honour of RtD's first official birthday on the new forums, I decided to take a page from Shadow's book and hold a little commemorative event of sorts. Less of a marathon and more of a relay race, with various events and prizes (gasp!) at the end of it. I will post a list of events below, mostly little competitions and such, and participating in them will earn you a certain amount of points. The better you do in each contest, the more points you will be awarded. At the end of the month, the participant with the most points will win the grand prize! There will also be prizes for second and third.
In addition to fun and games, I will spend the entire month revealing strange and interesting things. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting art, sketch dumps, one-shots and sneak peaks relating to both Return to Dust and Corvidae. It shall be a month-long writing extravaganza!
And so, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Wow. I can't believe it. As of today, July 1st 2018, the Return to dust reboot has been active for an entire year. For a whole 12 months. I have mixed feelings about this. Mostly positive, because a year is a long time to pursue something, especially any kind of creative project and I do feel rather proud of myself for sticking with it. The negative feelings come in the form of oh dear. This is been going on for an entire year and I've only got six chapters to show for it. Perhaps I need to write faster, with fewer distractions. Perhaps that's something to work on over the next year.
