Well my vacation is over now it's time to get back to work. I had a nice break but it's good to be back. Not that I even went anywhere. I was still here.

But anyway, I'm sure you're going to ask "Are you accepting PC's again?" The simple answer to that simple question: Not yet. However, I did promise one deviant that I'd do one for them but that's the only PC I'll be accepting at the moment. I still want to do some of my own original work too. You know, Chat Blast, VC, stuff like that. Haven't done any of that in a while. And to make it clear and fair for everyone else, I will no longer be making spot reservations for commissions. The reason being because it's hard for me to keep up and remember who receives theirs first and it's also unfair for the others who want commissions but have to wait till the reserved ones are completed. So I will no longer be making reservations. Hope you understand.

For now I want to do some of my own work. In fact, it's rather important that I do so with a big summer project I have had in mind for quite some time now. Which brings us to the announcement that I mentioned I'd make in my previous journal. And here it is.

FUSION DELUSION

This is something I've been keeping quiet about because I didn't want to spoil anything to anyone. Anyway, this is a story in the making that will include everyone and every character I've grown fond of or have appeared in my art. This includes my DeviantART friends, my OC's, their OC's, cartoon and game characters, and many others. It's like an all-star kind of thing. So you're welcome to attend it. What do you have to do? Nothing. No forms to fill out. No questions to answer. Just leave everything to me.

Plot: Fusion Delusion's plot involves a birthday celebration for me, which isn't till July but this is to just plan ahead of time, and all who have appeared in my art are invited to attend. Everyone's invited. All except my old rival from my Chat Blast series, Ricardo, who's jealous and fed up that I'm getting all the attention and intends to give me the worst birthday ever. To do this, he gathers all the recurring villainous characters I own who appear in my art. This includes his usual gang of Ivan, Rufus, and Jared, the Vic and Crow villains, one-shot villain Pseudolfo, and my real-life UPS boss Don. The villains start an attack but this is just to cover up Ric's true intentions which is to fuse with me so that he and I become one person. It'll be my body but his mind. He plans to ruin my life by driving away my family and friends by making me appear to be an asshole like him. Once I've lost everything, he'll seperate from me, considering his job done now that he's ruined my life. But he later realizes that living my life instead of ruining it would be even better so he instead plans to stay fused with me so that he will have everything I have and what he's always wanted. But Ric, still fused with me, begins to show signs that he's not really me and soon everyone will realize they've been tricked. This ultimately leads to an epic showdown between me and him, with some help with my loved ones as well.

So I think that should about do it. Fusion Delusion will come this summer. During the month of July, to be exact. That's the month of my birthday so it would only make sense to premiere Fusion Delusion during that time instead of celebrating my birthday way to early. I hope you all will enjoy this all-star celebration. It's something I've been wanting to do for quite a while. So stay tuned.

So there you have it. I'll be doing my own art for a while and will be accepting PC's again in the future when I feel that I have spare time. And you can expect Fusion Delusion in the near future as well. Hope you enjoy all that I come up with. I aim to please.

If you have any questions concerning Fusion Delusion, commissions, or anything at all feel free to ask.

Lightning Rod is out! Stay beautiful.
