Another year comes to an end! I hope, despite everything, you've had a decent 2023 and your 2024 will be better.

This year I would like to extend some thanks to...

• ...all of my lovely friends, who make me happy by existing, especially those I got to hang out with, have voice or video chats or in-depth conversations, or roleplay with this year including Jackie, Chibi, elyvorg, Psychic and Teagan, Negrek, seatherny, Murkrow and opaltiger
• ...Altissimo, for working on an amazing and necessary Pokémon data resource and sending me corrections
• ...Darren of Johto Times, for reconnecting, starting a fascinating newsletter on the early days of Pokémon and its fandom, and even giving me an interview as part of it
• ...Ayano of Blue Moon Falls, for a fansite with great original content that keeps impressing me
• ...Ottercopter, for encouraging me to enter the Unsounded fanworks contest
• ...all of the staff of the Heartache RPG, which I look greatly forward to continuing to enjoy this year
• ...Game Freak, for the Scarlet and Violet DLC unexpectedly having the most interesting character-based storytelling in any Pokémon game
• ...my husband Shadey, the love of my life
• ...Birta, best cat
• ...my parents, who I feel very grateful for
• ...the Thousand Roads community, my primary internet home
• ...my generous patrons
• ...everyone for your patience with my still-not-quite-finished writeup on R/S/E roulette

Happy new year! I will see you next update... hopefully the roulette.
