let’s hope she is able to muddle through it and bring us more Saiyuki goodness!
Kastom
--His massive article that he has code named “Genders” is making excellent progress. It should be posted in a couple of weeks so we’ll just have to wait until then to see what this hush-hush article is about!
--He has two ideas for articles in his Underdog series.
--His Naruto article is still in the works as well.
Bellpickle's works in progress:
--Bell’s submissions may taper off over the next two weeks due to finals but our reward will be her report from the Play! Video Game concert and maybe this two weeks will be the time she needs for the inspiration to finish her L article.
Katana's works in progress:
-- The quiz-'n-article stage 2 part should start making progress now that summer break is here.
--She and Ryu are planning a great collab where they will watch a video together and have a recorder going during the movie for conversation. The working title is TRT (Tape Recorder Talk). This is on hold until they can decide on and acquire a movie or series to discuss.
Sangome Wilder’s works in progress:
--She is having a having a bit of writers block so her article defending Regal Bryant from
Tales of Symphonia, her analysis of
Evangelion's Kaworu Nagisa , and her
Advent Children have all been put on hold for a while.
-- Her "Differences Between the Hagane Anime and Manga" is almost finished and is expected to be posted sometime this week.
--She is also planning a few surprise articles as well (a possible article about Elfin Lied for one), so be on the look out for those!
SunfallE’s works in progress:
SunfallE has had a computer problem and lost all of her work so her articles will be coming slowly but surely. Here’s a recap of what she is working on (read: having to rewrite!):
-- Her 2nd wallpaper themed collaboration with her friend, Mariskah, is coming along.
--She's also planning a
Howl's Moving Castle article that looks at the idea that when Howl gained Calcifer he lost the ability to grow up.

Princess Monoke
