      Finally got around to tweaking my webcam & key lights whilst the wee man was sleeping.

Feedback welcomed!

      Tomorrow I debut my first piece of fanfiction in front of a crowd.

Today I try to remember why I do these things to myself.

      Since getting the idea in January, I have been writing an alternate universe, forbidden love, git human fan fiction for this talk.

I have finally completed the first draft, including setup for "Heated Rebasing," the interactive rebasing spin off. 🤣
