Hey, everyone! Happy new year!

I haven't found time to blog in a while because the end of last year and exchange season specifically were pretty manic (I said the same thing last time and resolved to dial back my exchange participation for 2024-5 and then I... did not do that) and I only finished up my remaining fanwork, my Festivid, a couple of weeks ago.

(Still waiting sort-of-patiently for reveals...!)

But I have posts in the works for the Snowflake Challenge that I'm determined to put up at least some of before January is out, and I also wanted to make a short post about a fun trip that I recently took down memory lane.

A few days ago I was reading some of the recent Snowflake Challenge posts on Mastodon and got to reminiscing about early fannish interactions with Yu-Gi-Oh! with Mochibumbum/xx_HoneyRoses_xx over on blorbo.social. (The theme was Snowflake Challenge #10: Fandom Firsts). Mochibumbum recalled how Kids WB/4Kids used to air a segment alongside Yu-Gi-Oh! where they would display fanart that people had sent in from around the world. In turn I reminisced about my aunt recording episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! for me and my brother on VHS and sending them to us in the post (because she had Sky and we didn't at the time) and then us later watching it on a children's breakfast TV show called 'Up On the Roof'.
