Farewell to 2023

Thank you all for your support in 2023! It’s time for our bloggers to enjoy a well-deserved rest, so we’re going on our annual hiatus. You may see us pop up on social media from time to time, but this is our last official post for the year.

Rich in Color will be back to its regular posting schedule on 22 January 2024. We wish you all the best for the close of this year. May you have plenty of time to catch up on your TBR lists while we're gone!

Help me dig upward

Hey y’all, For the second time in a few years I’m starting a GoFundMe. This time, though, it’s not for the site, at least not explicitly. It is to help me get out from under the weight of debt that I’ve been carrying for more than a decade at this point, but which has finally gotten so bad that it’s affecting everything from my sleep patterns to my overall mental health and ability to do the…

BerserkAnalysis will move to another provider this summer

Letting all of you people know that this summer I will move this entire website to a different provider. It is possible the site won’t be accessible between 20th and 30th August 2024. Between July and August the site will look differently for a while. I was able to successfully perform a test migration beforehand so I expect the move to go smoothly. It is however possible that some…

PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.

you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.

to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. if you don’t have the option available, update your app or close your browser/refresh a few times. important to note you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out.

I love tumblr because humanity could find out that world will end in 2 days and like 4 seconds later someone will post about it in the destiel meme format.

Quick Notes On Upcoming Content

The next game I’ll be Let’s Playing once I finish Halo Infinite will be Citizen Sleeper. Also, I fell a little behind on putting episodes together, so I will be putting together a Youtube video on my experiences getting my CPAP machine and getting diagnosed with Sleep Apnea.

My, How Time Flies

March 24th was our tenth anniversary, and it whizzed right on by! So much has changed in the young adult publishing world since this site started back in 2013, and we've loved spending the years with you reading books starring or written by BIPOC. In celebration of this ten-year anniversary, I thought it would be fun to take a look at some site numbers:

1,581 total posts

502 book reviews

442 new releases posts

297 book lists

78 interviews

30 group discussion books

4 bloggers

3 social media sites

Thank you for all of your support these last ten years! We hope for many more years to come.

Available Now! Frisky Frolicking: Tails from Honeysuckle Farm

Embry Kastel is a journalist with a passion for the stories of the chronically dismissed and underestimated. And though the city where she lives bills itself as a utopia where humans, minotaurs, satyrs, centaurs, harpies and other exo-sapiens can live in harmony, Embry knows there’s more to the story—like Honeysuckle Farm, which isn’t a farm at all. The exo-founded women-owned independent…

Niji Chikara is here! It’s real! You can read it right now!!

I have a LOT to say about it, so more under the cut:

Why a webcomic?

So yeah, I did previously advertise Niji Chikara as an animated series. But my younger self greatly underestimated the amount of time it takes to finish a single episode, let alone an entire series, so eventually I had to concede that this wasn't going to happen any time soon. Maybe someday in the future, there can be an "anime" version, but for now, I think it's better to stick to the manga, so to speak.

That said, there's some stuff that I made for the animated version, including several songs and some storyboards, that I'll probably end up releasing at some point, so stay tuned for that!

What's the update schedule?

I've opted to draw the entirety of chapter 1 ahead of time, which I'm hoping is enough of a buffer that I can work on the next chapters and release them without significant interruptions. Life's a lot more hectic these days, so it might not work out that way, but I can at least guarantee a consistent update schedule of one page every Saturday until the end of chapter 1. (Aside from today, where I thought it would be better to post the whole intro at once!)

Which brings me to my next point...

What about Aiiro No Kunoichi?

Truth be told, I'm not sure what to do with Aiiro No Kunoichi. Unlike Niji Chikara, where I already know the majority of what will happen from start to finish, I started Aiiro No Kunoichi with the idea that I would be able to come up with storylines as I went... which obviously didn't end up happening. That, combined with my general unfamiliarity with the subject material, left me really unhappy with the comic.

But the characters still mean a lot to me, with Cap'n Merritt in particular being a beloved cornerstone of this website, so I don't want to give up on them completely. Maybe Sanori is better suited for being a video game protagonist—I definitely still want to finish Aiiro No Kunoichi: The Game! someday—but I dunno, I'll figure something out.

Enjoy!

All that being said, I'm quite excited for Niji Chikara. I've been working on this story for a LONG time, and there's already a few reveals that have been a long time coming (another look at Rising Darkness may prove interesting for you long-time fans). I hope you guys enjoy it, too!

GolfBlogger's Twentieth Blogiversary

GolfBlogger's Twentieth Blogiversary: Twenty years is a long time to do anything, but it has gone by very quickly

On this day twenty years ago, I launched GolfBlogger.Com with no real goal beyond giving myself an excuse — and in some sense, an obligation — to write. I had changed careers from political ghost writer to high school teacher several years earlier and as much as I liked the challenge of teaching, I found I missed the writing. Blogging was in its infancy in 2004 (and possibly has grown old and…
