The new Art Of Otaku is coming along well. The design is 100% finished and most of the launch tutorials are in. It's now just a matter of coding and editing. Hopefully we can get it out the door mid/late January.

I really adore the new AOO, but it is an unparalleled risk. One, it's so different than the original and two, the price will be a bit scary (but worth it).

When it comes down to it, I only have two surviving babies (and dozens of deceased ones) after almost a decade of web stuff: theOtaku/myOtaku (I consider them one entity) and Art Of Otaku. I'm the biological father of OB, but James has raised it/done all the parenting :).

I'd like both the new AOO and theOtaku/myOtaku to stand and grow without my supervision. I think that's the proudest moment for a parent.

Once the new AOO is established, I will have two options:

(1) Keep theOtaku/myOtaku roughly the same and create a structure so it goes forward incrementally without me, under new leadership. Then work on something new or take a break.

(2) Triple my efforts, revamp and upgrade everything, and create a deviantart-killer :-). I love challenges and this path fulfills that requirement.

Either way, I think theO and myO need a new and unified design.
