A story that a friend and I conceived back in high school, has been in its final stage for a good long while. After he left to go get married, and dropped all the things he and I enjoyed doing together for his wife, and then moved away, I had lost all reason to complete it. At least he gave me full rights to the story. Not that I really wanted that. However, an aquaintance of ours found the epilogue by chance while I was cleaning up, gave it a look over, and asked where the rest of it was. I filled him in, and he looked a little disappointed. Especially when I told him that an ending hadn't been agreed upon, and a lot of it was still short hand notes.

To make a long story short, I got asked to turn the story into an RPG campaign story for the annual gaming convention. I'd done it a few times in the past, and even did RPs at the annual anime convention for a couple of years. I hadn't given up doing RPs, I just had no real desire to be the one who did the story, only have a bunch of people butcher and trample all over it. Apparently there'd been a few people who enjoyed my games in the past, and had been asking if I was ever coming back since they hadn't seen me for a few years. I don't know if he was just stroking my ego, but by the end of the conversation I found myself agreeing to finishing the story enough that it'd be worthy of a role-playing tournament. Unfortunately I won't have it ready for either convention that's coming up this year (mainly because I'm only allowed to book off one of the two weekends from work and I'm already doing an RP at the second convention), so it'll be for next year. Needless to say that I'm quite honoured. I didn't know anyone cared.

The only problem I've got, is I procrastinate. ^^; I'm terrible at that. Even the one that I've gotta have ready for July is barely half finished, and I've got a guest Game Master that I've still gotta prepare notes for. I have to learn how to use my time my efficiently.

I thought this was your last year to go to conventions?

My last one for the anime convention because it's so far away. The gaming convention is local.
