Just a quick note. I'm in my last few weeks of grad school. My schedule is going to be pretty crazy until I'm done, so please excuse me if I don't update as much. I'm not pulling another 6-month disappearing act like I did last time, don't worry. But I won't be home very often, and when I am, I have various things/projects/etc. to finish up. I'll try to update when I can.

Well, a bit of an unusual update today. I've been thinking about ways to make this site more interactive, and I've decided to try an experiment. For those of you who are familiar with Wikipedia, I've added an RK Wiki to this site. I'm hoping it will allow people to interact with each other. I'm not even sure how this will happen, but I figure, if I make the Wiki and allow people to post, something interesting is bound to happen. I hope.
I think a lot of things will be possible with this. For starters, some obvious opportunities such as submitting fan fics to the wiki. Since fics are by invite only at the main site, this would be a way for people to get their stories known at this site. Other fic related activities might include fan fic challenges or collaborations. Or maybe pages on historical information for authors who want help on research.
I'm sure there are other possibilities with this beyond fan fics. I'm just not sure what they'll be, but I'm excited to find out. I truly hope you guys will give it a try. This ought to be an interesting experiment.
The link to the Wiki will be listed on the Miscellany page. But in case you're too lazy to go there, here's a link:

A lot of really nice stuff today....
Welcome to three new artists to this site:
ZaphK has a lovely pic of Battousai. Pretty, soft colors, wonderful manga-like style, and great composition. Very nicely done. Thanks for allowing me to post this, ZaphK.
Artist midnightshinigami has sent in a wonderful pic of Battousai before battle. I really like the strong, vibrant coloring. And I like the sense of anticipation I get from not being able to see what's exactly in the room. Thanks for sending this in, midnightshinigami.
Paranoid-Duckkie has a gorgeous pic of Kenshin's eyes. The lighting is marvelous. And I like the warm hazy feeling of it, as if the pic were from memory or the distant past. Thanks for allowing me to post this, Paranoid-Duckkie.
And from two regular contributors:
Leah has a lovely new pic of Kenshin and Kaoru. I like the colors and textures. And they look so happy together. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful pic, Leah.
Akai Kitsune has updated her epic Light of the Snow Red Village. Chapter 37 continues with Kenshin and gang right after dealing with Aoshi. A new villain has popped up. Check it out to find out who it is. Wonderful writing as always, Akai. Thanks for updating.
