Title: Addventure index update
Post by: Adama on August 07, 2016, 12:17:56 AM
The July Update (http://www.bearchive.com/~addventure/game1/trees/index.html) has been posted.  Sirka (http://www.bearchive.com/~addventure/game1/trees/auth/split/sirka_split.html) (AKA Shemale Sakura (http://www.bearchive.com/~addventure/game1/trees/auth/shemalesakura.html)) came first this month, just edging out Anonymous51 (http://www.bearchive.com/~addventure/game1/trees/auth/anonymous51.html) who came a close second.

There were a total of 1,909 episodes this month, the highest peak we've had since 2002 (http://www.bearchive.com/~addventure/game1/trees/auth/graphs/total.html)!

A new feature to the index is that the text-only Author pages have been updated to HTML pages, so that the author names can be links to their home pages.  I've also provided links to text versions, because sometimes the HTML versions take an annoying amount of time to load.

Well, not always, but considering the effort you put in I think you deserve it. And perhaps knowing that at least one person values it will help to encourage you to continue. :)

Meanwhile I must try to get myself up to speed on writing episodes again. Three episodes for the month must be my lowest total for a very long time, but time and inspiration both seem to have been in short supply.

I'd like to think that everyone else's thanks, like mine, are implicit. :)

I'm sure that's true, but it would be nice for Adama if people told him so.

Yeah, you're right. Communities, good communities that is, are built around reciprocal support and amity.

If you don't mind me asking, JH, where's your work been recently? I've always enjoyed your episodes, and felt like they were consistently good quality while maintaining reasonable and surprisingly cognizant characters, which are sadly a bit of a rarity.

Edit: Reading over this again, I realize it could come across as a bit demanding. That wasn't intentional. I'm just wondering whether you're taking a break, done with writing here, or I've just somehow been missing your episodes.

Thanks for the kind words.

I haven't deliberately cut down on my writing of episodes, but somehow in recent weeks I seem to have been short of both time and inspiration, plus there haven't been that many new episodes that have caught my imagination. I like the "traditional" BEAddventure" characters (especially Sharon and Edith) rather than the anime ones who seem to have become so popular, and about whom I know next to nothing. (It's a generation thing. When I was growing up, pretty much nobody in the West had even heard of anime or manga, so I missed out being exposed to it.)

The good news is that just in the last few days people (yourself included) have started some interesting new threads featuring the traditional characters, to which I hope to contribute.

I very much understand. Most of the anime and video game characters don't catch my interest in the same way either, not necessarily because I haven't been exposed to them, but because I feel like they're so well established in character and attitude that you can't really do very much with them. The "traditional" BE Addventure characters run a really interesting line between having established traits and being completely blank slates such that you can pick and choose what is appropriate for your story, and often mold whatever isn't into something that does fit.
