December 29 Update
Added 2019-12-29 23:04:30 +0000 UTCFor the past two years, I've done darker reviews for my last update of the year, laying out negative issues in order to start the new year fresh. This year, I find that is no longer necessary. Please look forward to my yearly reflection and a TLS update in early January.
I am happily working away, but this is a time of rest. I hope most of you are able to spend time with those you care about and I wish strength for those carrying burdens at this time. For now, simply enjoy the above image and have a good holiday season. ^-^

That was what I originally intended to post, but someone pointed out that I'm eligible for a Stabby award, which is a non-trivial prize given by the r/fantasy subreddit. The thread and rules are available here:
https://old.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/egy76w/2019_stabby_voting_thread/
However, please note that they have a very broad definition of brigading that could disqualify me. If you are a Reddit user who reads enough fantasy that you want to participate in the voting overall, please vote for the titles you think deserve awards.

You too! (And anybody else reading, regardless of the time.)

2019-12-30 04:30:24 +0000 UTCI'm not sure, but I suspect volume will be considered. If anybody is worried about that or doesn't have time, it's fine to ignore it. I'm not sure how many votes they will get total, but I suspect it will be a high number. The community is large and growing, so getting a Stabby would be useful for promotional purposes, but it won't make or break anything. I actually haven't looked through the poll, since it seems strange to vote in a contest you're part of, so I can't say about the watercolor sky.

2019-12-30 04:29:03 +0000 UTCHappy holidays! Stay creative and be happy. Its a magical time of the year, please let me share my favorite version of Schedrik with you guys. I am sure the tune will be familiar, although not many knows its origins :) Hope you like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uKbK1CPwSs

2019-12-30 04:13:55 +0000 UTCHmm, I haven't read most of these titles. I wonder if just voting on Reddit posts and cover art for categories SL isn't in would look brigadesque. Think I can guess who pointed out the poll, though - fellow fan LOLtohru has a nominated post counting an author's tendency to use "shrug" in a work. This subreddit looks a bit toxic. :/ I hope any increased attention from there ends up positive. Who made the art? I like the watercolor sky.

2019-12-29 23:33:18 +0000 UTCThis piece of fanart is completely unrealistic. Yarra isn't even trying to reach for Simon's dick. And really, Qum with CLOTHES?!?!? Nice to look at though. See ya next time.
