Sorry for the late reply, I've been focusing on the bestof_icons nominations for a few days now - thankfully that seems to be all done now, well, until more people appear :> (I hope they do. I love this event. it just takes a lot of time when you're this invested!)

But wow, thank you so much for the super lovely comment. ♥ I'm really thrilled and a little surprised that you think I've continued to progress. I do hope that this year there will be progress even i can see, but then again it's entirely possible that time has messed with my memories a little and if I actually went back to look at my earlier posts they'd look much worse than i remember, haha. I mean I'm pretty sure I didn't like them that much at the time, so maybe I'll feel the same way about my current stuff at some point in the future :p
