5 Years of JTTR...24 Hours of Live RFB!
Five-day blur of work and sleep...and then a weekend, run around and recharge!...and then a five-day blur of work and sleep...and then a weekend, run around more and recharge!...and then a five-day blur of work and sleep...That's been life from July 'til now. Things should improve next month, though--knock wood!--when the staff expands with new hirees. Just gotta get there.

But in the meantime, Journey To The REST has really suffered. Its 5th anniversary is coming up on October 14, but this past year, next to nothing has gotten done. I've been squirreling material and ideas for some additions that with luck will be fun or interesting for folks, but what little time there's been has gone mostly to projects with drop-dead deadlines (and it's a crappy feeling to find myself actually hoping for short RELOAD chapters). Prizes still need to go out for several months of the Zakuro mind-control contest. And then there's Saiyuki Reload Gunstock, full of so many great entries, lots of which haven't even gone up yet. Gunstock was supposed to be an annual event. This one should have finished long before now--but my guts are so gone by the end of the day, sleep has kept winning out.

So. It's drop-dead deadline time.

In the JTTR spirit of "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing nuts different": Coming up on October 14-15--just in time to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Journey To The REST (which happens to occur during a weekend--must be meant to be!)--don't miss the 24-HOUR LIVE BROADCAST of RADIO FREE BANRI, featuring the third day of SAIYUKI RELOAD GUNSTOCK...complete with announcement of the winners! Like to be in the audience, where you might be visited by one of RFB's roving reporters? More details to come!

Oh wow, sounds exciting! :D 24 hours huh?

Don't worry about all the saiyuki stuff, your life is so hectic and nuts, it's amazing the amount of stuff you give us already! Helping host RFB, updated news on OAV and Zero Sums. We love you seriously D:!

I hope you get some new hirees really soon! You sound like you could use a break!

Just want to say thanks for all the stuff you do to maintain JTTR and share Saiyuki with the rest of us. Hope the work situation gets better for you. And what's this about being visited by RFB's roving reporters? Would I get to talk to the Peeps? :)

Real Life's a pain in the keister sometimes. *hugs*
You're doing a great job here and you owe us nothing. I think that everyone is very grateful for the work you do, and the joy you bring with JTTR and Radio Free Banji. But please think about yourself, too. Take some rest if you need it, and don't feel guilty about it, okay?

I think everyone understands how hard you've been working - I'm just glad you're okay, and hopefully getting that help so you can take some time for yourself. You deserve it.

*quick, shy hug*

I am thrilled with the announcement of a 'live' broadcast, however, even if I've no idea how that will work. Still. Sounds awesome. I will sooo be there. Yes. ^_^

*returns to lurking in the shadows*
