February Premieres + Vacation Time

Aloha, everybody! It is I, Dandy Andy! And not only is it that time of the month where I tell you all what I have planned for next month, but I am also going to let you know that it's another time of my career here. Every 101 deviations, after all. And that is to take a nice relaxing break from my writing and just enjoy a little time to myself.

So, on this vacation, I'm going to get to playing a few games that I hadn't gotten around to yet. Mostly Shovel Knight and a few other games that I have been dying to play. I really need to catch up on those games and I would really like to use this time to play them. Sometimes, I just can't get around to playing these games because I want to catch up on my stories and get some stuff out of the way and there are some conversations that I have with you guys that will go on for a while until there is a point where it doesn't seem to end. And sometimes, one of us tends to keep the conversation held for a while. Now, I don't like to leave you guys hanging, but I don't like to be left hanging either. I know we all have our things to do outside of this website, and there are times where we can't exactly tell each other what it is and it requires immediate attention. There's also the case that I ask if the conversation were having is over, or there's something else you have in mind. Just wanna make sure we have that all cleared up. Don't want to leave abruptly.

Now that that's taken care of, I will probably be off the submission page for a little while. Like two weeks, two and a half at most. Now, some people think that when I take my vacations from writing and submitting new deviations, they think I might be taking a vacation from the whole website in general. No, I do not intend on ever doing that. I mean, the weekends where I'm away at my folks' is one thing. Their computer is not really working. And that's a problem that I wish would get fixed permanently. But an entire vacation away from the site would just be begging for trouble. My inbox would grow out of control and I would have WAY too much too catch up on and I don't usually like to do that. That's one thing I gotta take into account when there are quite a few people I watch on here. So, I'm still around. Just not gonna submit any stories for a while. I prefer to have it approximately cleared out. That's just the way I work.



Moving right along, we have what I will be doing for February. And with my vacation pretty much taking up half of that month at the very least, you probably shouldn't expect much from me. But there is something that I have ready.

Shipping and Handling

This is a little mini-series of looking at different fictional couples and shippings in fandoms and series that I have grown up with and known for quite a while. I know there might be some shippings from other shows that you'll probably ask me to do upon seeing this little announcement or the first couple of entries in this mini-series tht you guys are fans of, and I will just say this. Please, do not ask me to talk about certain shippings that you would know but I wouldn't. If you were to do that, I would have to decline, because I wouldn't know anything about them or how that couple/shipping would work or came to be. I already have it preset and ready to go. And this will be like what AVGN did all throughout December up until Christmas where he looked at bad cover designs for different video games. I'll be uploading topics of certain couples day by day. And it will continue all the way up to Valentine's Day. And let's just say that I saved something particularly special for last because of another occasion. What that is, I think you can guess, but wait to see and find out for yourselves. And again, don't request me to talk about certain couples. It's ready, it's set, and it's raring to go. I just wanna say that some of them I agree with, others not so much, and I respect your opinion as equally as you respect mine.

As for the rest of what I will do when I get back to the submission page after my vacation, I'll probably just get to doing some more episodes of my main series that I have been yearning to get to. So, here are some ideas for what will go on in some of these series.

-Gideon meets a new girl dog and Casey worries what that other dog would be like
-A Hot Air Balloon Race goes awry when Sphere Sister and the Swell Bombshell race one another...as the balloons

JUMP

-DUMP and JUMP clash once again after so long
-A new experimental mutant copies all of JUMP's powers and uses it against them
-The Sk8er Boys go missing after an incident and the Hop Skip JUMP team must find them

Round Three

3rd Wheel

-After a crazy incident, 3rd Wheel terminates Soos' sidekick status and holds auditions for a new sidekick

And if you're wondering about this month's shop, it'll probably only feature 3 of both commissions and art trades. I don't really want to have that big an overhaul this month. Maybe for the next couple of months it'll be like this. It's nothing personal. I just have a lot that I wanna do and I feel like a lighter load will be fine. So, you'll have to be quick on this one if you want to get one. If you don't get a spot, do not fret. There's always next month. Okay? Okay.

That's pretty much what I have in mind. I'm not gonna be able to work on all of this, but I do hope to get to some of them. In the meantime, I should probably be getting to relaxing. I earned it and I'm not gonna waste anymore time not getting to it. So, if you'll excuse me... it's time to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the next two weeks to myself. See you all around, and I'll be back to business as usual soon enough.

Until then, I am Dandy Andy. Tootles.
