It seems Reel123 has tagged me for a meme. It amused me enough I'll participate in a limited way. Look to their journal for the rules if it matters to you, I'm ignoring the part about tagging others.
Five things about me:
1. I'm silly, prone to quoting from shows that amuse me or spontaneously singing made-up versions of songs.
2. I once campaigned for the restoration of the alt.* newsgroups at the university I was attending. Even made up buttons for the effort, though most of them ended up given out by the Computer Science Club.
3. Tangentially related, my first story was posted to an alt.* group. Shan't say which, and it's long gone from the archives. This is a good thing.
4. One of my favourite transformation stories is 'A Fistful of Sky' by Nina Kiriki Hoffman.
5. My first computer had 4k of memory. I still managed to create a clunky 3D PacMan game for it.
Reel123's questions, answered:
1. I don't remember exactly why I joined dA, most likely it was to see the pictures hiding behind mature tags. Putting my stories up here came way later.
2. Favourite creature... It'd be hard to nail it down to one. Of existing animals, perhaps the cougar.
3. Finding that stupid error in the code that makes it all work cheers me up. Better still is finding a new story by an author I like.
4. I don't tend to get mad, I'm good at keeping my cool in most circumstances. Really ticks people off. The most common thing that annoys me is solipsistic driving.
5. No question, the superpower I'd like the most is shapeshifting.

New Trust Machines story
There's a New Year's themed contest at Big Closet, and magichsoppe encouraged me to join in. So I wrote something fluffy that just sort of takes the transformation for granted, and rolls from there. I'll post "New Year's Revolutions" here at some point, after it's had a week or two of exclusivity there.
Moondone / 1M
And so we're done with Moonstone. There may be little scraps here and there, I'd like to revisit some of the interesting characters and their situation, much like the VixenTails I did between some of the books. But that's for another time. For now, JMD recently pointed out I broke the 1M (home) pageviews mark a little while ago, and I feel I should do something to celebrate. Finishing Moonfire sort-of-counts, but... well, I've got a half dozen stories that have been poking at me semi-insistently for a while now. I'd like to hear which you'd like to see next, or any other ideas you might have. The list, in no particular order (new stories only, I have many series I want to continue too): Blackboxing (vaguely JMD-Inventor related, playing with a clothing TF remote) TM-Cleanup (Janitor dealing with the messes caused by the Trust Machine at the mall he works at, and... other fun stuff.) TM-Responsible (A Venn Machine 'get people stuck' rampage has consequences.) Subby Wand (Silly new
Moondark
Sorry about this. I got caught up working on the next chapter of Happy Fun Ball, and totally lost track of the schedule. Next Moonfire chapter will be in two weeks on the full Moon, and I'll try to get Happy Fun Ball 16 done before then...
Moonfire schedule
I'm getting to a point in Moonfire where events are moving faster, and story beats should be hitting a little closer together. This means more 'chapter end' spots I'd like to have land as chapter ends, not chapter middles. I'm getting back into a 4k words per month groove on Moonfire, so this would mean posting 2k-ish chapters twice a month, instead of 4k once per month. If I do this, I'll probably stick to the new Moon/full Moon schedule I used for Moontouched and Mooncalled, possibly starting next week. I'll try to keep it from impacting the release of other content (I'm 3.5 chapters ahead on Happy Fun Ball, so I have some buffer for now, and Moonfire 21 is half-done with the rest of it pretty well scoped in.) I'd like to hear your thoughts on this shift.
