I do miss working on my An American Tail fansite on Webs.com. Every once in a while someone will ask me why I don't do much with it anymore. Well just to clarify, this is why. The site had bandwidth issues, and constantly crashed. The more stuff I put up and the more people visited the site, the more likely it would crash, so at some point I couldn't put any more pictures up or add new pages. You have to pay money to keep that from happening, that's the little scam Webs is running, there's a reason they changed their name from Freewebs. For a while I was able to buy extra bandwidth with tokens I earned through using a Webs search bar on my browser. Then, they discontinued that. You had to pay actual money. So after putting up with it crashing over and over, even making a second site and moving things over to that (which proceeded to crash as well), eventually I kinda gave up. The site's still up in some form, and I guess it's more or less as complete as it's ever going to be.
But around the time that happened, I discovered the An American Tail Wiki at Wikia, found here: anamericantail.wikia.com/wiki/…. Interestingly someone had copied and pasted from my fansite onto it, but I didn't really mind too much. I thought maybe I could focus on making that Wiki a great resource for AAT fans since the fansite wasn't really working out. The problem with that? Wiki vandals. Some random idiot likes to vandalize the pages, acting like his crossover AAT/The Secret Of NIMH fanfic is canon, insisting Fievel and his siblings are orphans who were adopted by Mrs. Brisby (who lives almost 100 years in the future, come on), etc. Try to change any of the false information he puts on the wiki pages, and you'll have an edit war on your hands. The little bastard is relentless. The admins just keep passing the buck when I try to get him banned, so there's not much I can do about it. I wish I were an administrator. The good thing about the fan site was I had control over it. Probably makes me sound power-hungry, but really you wouldn't be seeing this fanon crap on all the pages if I were in charge.
Sigh, at least there's still the Never Say Never Deviant Art group. Sort of the last vestige when it comes to a gathering for AAT fans.

Commentary with Anubis! Ep.4 Pg.50
4th Wall-Breaking Commentary! Today’s episode: Alcatraz High School ~ Episode 4: Page 50 - Britney’s Fear *opening theme: the intro to the song “Lord of Eternity” by Kotipelto* With your host: Anubis Anubis: Well it’s the 50th page of this overly-long story arc, a little while ago we finally finished September 12th, 2000 after something like two years, but we’re very close to wrapping things up and having one or two shorts to highlight some different Alcatraz High students. In the meantime, here to provide commentary today is myself, Anubis, Egyptian God of the Dead, and my good friend Phobos, Greek God of Fear and Panic. Phobos: Greetings all, hope you had some sweet nightmares last night. Anubis: So to explain why I chose Phobos, I knew I had to really terrify these kids, and I mean maybe I could have done that myself by showing up all fire and brimstone, maybe resurrect a few dead corpses from around the cemetery and do the whole Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” thing
Mein Tablet ist Kaput
Welp, my tablet that I used for drawing as well as writing was left on top of the car and fell off and got run over. Funny story. I'd take a picture but, well, I would need my tablet to take a picture and it's in itty bitty little pieces right now. So the next page of the webcomic might be just a wee bit late, suffice it to say. Too bad about all the model sheets and backgrounds and updated novel drafts and stuff that was on there too. I was smart enough to save some of it in case something like this ever happened, but I hadn't backed up my info in a little while.
Started a New Blog!
I now have a blog! Follow Tales from the Masked Bard at https://surenity2.blogspot.com/. I'll be posting reviews, essays, opinion pieces, and whatever else comes to mind. There's still more art to come from me here on Deviant Art too, so stay tuned.
What I've been up to lately
A lot's happened since my last journal entry, that is for sure. I fell out of checking DeviantArt for almost a year, partly due to taking a full time job at a call center that drove me to depression and drained my creativity, but a job I had to keep for the health insurance. Ten months of getting yelled at by rich people with petty problems put me in a pretty dark place for a while. But a couple months ago I got really sick, used up all my attendance credits and got fired. I'm actually thankful for that. I have a part time call center job instead now, which is a lot better on my psyche, until I move again this summer, at which time I'll be jo

I can help you with it's wiki, I did do some editing the last time I've visited there.
Plus I've learned how to do Adobe Dreamweaver, so if you need anything. I'll be happy to help make your favorite things continue to grow.
By the way, I agree with the rules about no fan stuff on the wiki. But is it possible to create a page for it's wiki, a page about fan history or popular fans. And it can be listed full of links that leads directly to any fan fictions like yours. Along with any other fan stuff like my music mixes or just anything you like. All from that one page about fans on an AT Wiki.
