Bye for now.

This probably comes as a surprise to you. Without going into too much detail, I haven‘t seen the signs that I need a break. Some of you know that I‘ve had experiences with fandom toxicity in the past and these are obviously affecting me more than I expected, in different ways.

There‘s a lot I wanted to share with you and I‘m so, so sorry to leave you hanging like this, but I need to call a halt before it‘s too late.


I don‘t know yet how long my break is going to be. Here‘s hoping that I will find a direction where to go and what to do.


I‘m very grateful for all the inspiration, motivation and kindness you‘ve shown me in the past year.


Let me conclude with a favor I‘d like to ask you.

Please, be kind to each other. Always. Talk to each other. Communication solves so many problems. Listen to your friends if they need help. Support each other. Toxicity has so many faces, so take care of yourself and the people around you. Make each other feel appreciated so toxicity doesn‘t stand a chance.

Thank you so much, for everything.

I'm happy, I'm nervous, I'm excited. This is my first time writing for a good deal of the DWD cast, so let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Okay, that's not quite right. :D But I'm happy to announce that after 14 years (with a hiatus of 9 years in between), I finished the first part of my fanfic "The Exam Called Life". I'm already working on part two and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you. Thank you to everyone who read my story in the past and to all those who are still reading it, for your support and feedback. If it weren't for you guys, I would probably have abandoned the project altogether. For those who would like to read it, here's the link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4409887/1/The-Exam-Called-Life-Part-1-Attachment-Theory


(It's also on AO3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/34949479/chapters/87035911 and Wattpad https://www.wattpad.com/1261706219-the-exam-called-life-senior-solitude but I just started sharing it on both accounts.) And now let's fast-forward to 15 years later. Stay tuned!

Hi everyone!


How have you all been?


I went on a long hiatus back in 2019, with life interfering here and there and everywhere - basically juggling family life, my job as a freelance illustrator and renovating our house (which isn't finished yet) and had pretty much lost motivation to draw fanart.

I started posting original art (mostly watercolor paintings and paper children) on Instagram, where I am currently active the most. Even though I pretty much stopped being active in the Darkwing Duck fandom, I still enjoy it and have not forgotten about all the good talks and fun we used to have. I really missed it.

Only recently, I have gotten back into drawing DWD art, especially Megavolt/Elmo-and-Eleanor-related art. Does anybody remember my rat girl from all those years ago? :)


I even started working on my fanfiction again, "The Exam Called Life", which I started in 2008 and which has fallen into a deep sleep in 2012. If anybody still remembers the story and would like to read it, it can be found here:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/34949479/chapters/87035911 (I just started posting it over there.)


It seems that the majority of those I have regularly interacted with on here have either moved on to other fandoms or are not active any more. However, if you are still around, I'd love to get back in touch with you. :)


I hope you are all safe and sound. Have a wonderful weekend and feel free to say hello. :heart:
