Two Years Old; Feels Good Man

Posted by Shin

Obligatory two year anniversary commemorative post! As of last week, July 14th to be exact, Atarashii Prelude turned two, which also marks the 800 over days I've spent blogging. Would have posted it sooner, but I had to weather out the (shit)storm Heartfelt thank yous to everyone, be it fellow bloggers, readers, commentors or the occasional passersby, who've supported the site directly and indirectly for the past two years m(_ _)m

Once again, I must also thank my senior and co-founder, gaiden, for making it all possible in the first place, and the writers who have graciously dedicated their time to contributing content. A special shoutout to co-admin and good friend in real life, hoshi, whose expertise has been invaluable to the general maintenance of the site and some of my more well received posts, which required his superior Photoshop-fu and Moonrunes comprehension.

It didn't feel all that long ago when I first started blogging, but it is times like these that I tend reminisce on my origins. Long gone are the halcyon days when this blog use to serve episodic summaries on a weekly basis, as I became more brazen and nonchalant in terms of the content I post here. In retrospect, seeing as how my roots stem from that god forsaken imageboard, it would have been only a matter of time before my true colours became apparent. I sometimes even wonder if I had irked my senior by desecrating the site and turning into an outlet for my depravity There is also of course the backlash where I am ostracized for being a creepy bisexual lolicon by my peers in the blogosphere, renouncing all forms of credibility in the process Still, thank you all so much for making me feel right at home and tolerating my absurdity in doing whatever and however I wanted for the entire duration thus far
