I'm still working on the finishing touches to Family Matters. I won't say I'm done before New Year, because whenever I say something like that, something else will jump up and chew all my plans. I want this fic to be all shiny and finished and available online in all its glory.
Albeit I'm afraid very few people will notice, since almost all the forums and groups dedicated to TBX are either deadly silent (or have disappeared altogether). I also noticed, that most of my fannish interests have either gone the same way of TBX or come without a blog-presence.
I've started out with writing for a cartoon series: Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, which was centered around a mailing list (it still exists, but posts are few and far between; today I was reminded of it by a post with links to some fics on ff.net). Then I delved into manga, most notably TBX, which started for me on the -still mourned- Clampesque forum and then pulled me to the blogs (1st Livejournal, now I feel at home at Dreamwidth). A few other fandoms (though I never wrote for them), were there as well: Yami no Matsuei, Fake, Gorgeous Carat, Viewfinder... of those, only Viewfinder still sees daily activity.
Now, I'm actually attached to a book series, The Emperor's Edge by Lindsay Buroker, for which I've wrote a total of three short fics (< 3000 words) so far and have a gazillion ideas, basically waiting for some important details to be decided in canon. Ironically, EE is centered around a forum again, branching into the author's Twitter, Pinterest, and homepage.
Given all that, I'm not sure that I will continue writing Business As Usual after I finished the editing of Family Matters. At least, the Dekagram will have a working end then. If Seishiro (and the notorious Tree-san) compel me to continue, I'll most likely complete it on my own before seeking help for editing, instead of publishing it chapter by chapter. There's just not much point doing the chapter-dance without a fandom for feedback.

That's why I need at least one lively / friendly community to participate in and that community is going to get my main attention.
I don't want to abandon BAU and the other plans for the Dekagram, but I can't give them the attention as before (sadly).
