Oh, but I beg to differ. Nine degrees is cold no matter where you live ^.~

Geass, okay. I don't know about originality--that whole Gundam-like mecha thing just doesn't appeal to me--but it just went so fast. Like, bang! Backstory! Four seconds later there are terrorists and some weird prince dude and a guy who likes chess. Three seconds later--"Dude, I have special powers and am now CRAZY!" And then zillions of people are dying and I was like, "Wait, who are the good guys, hold on, what the hell just happened? Lost, I am lost!!" As for Monster, you should check out the manga, because it's made of awesome. Infinitely better than the anime.

Thank you for saying that, because you're so right. Especially there's no point in abandoning things I haven't even started. I've basically avoided working on multiple projects at once thus far out of fear of cross-pollination (like, themes and ideas that belong in one thing showing up in a second by accident), but maybe I should give it a whirl. It would be good to keep my options open. The problem, of course, is that every artist is a slave to the muse. There's just no reasoning with the little bitch/bastard. ^.^
