Following the new #introduction train with the new word limit (wait, where are you going, come back, I promise I won't be at the limit of the word count--!!)

Hullo! I am NAAN and while I usually work as a comicker, I also take the time to archive or ramble about things I find interesting to share! I try to work within my financial limits, so anything archived is just mainly tech-related like a cassette filled with interviews or music that's never been in HQ online! (These are very specific examples for reasons.)

I also post a bunch of my fanart under #NAANfanart, old and new, as well as work on my fansite and uhh (checks notes) one fanbook and fancomic! (Quick, how many times I can use fan as a prefix--)

My primary fansite right now is one for Hans von Hammer, better known as #EnemyAce: https://hollenreiter.neocities.org A (justifiably) depressed and brooding WWI ace pilot who only likes talking to a wolf? Sign me up?!

I dabble in other parts of #DCComics fandom, mainly the #TangentComics publishing line. Other fandoms I tend to play in include #Macross, #AhMyGoddess / #OhMyGoddess , #KishinCorps, #TenchiMuyo and the #MagicalGirls genre. I've also posted stuff about #LimbusCompany but I don't talk about it much on here in comparison to the others.

Most of my fandom experience is done "alone," as I always tended to do fandom alone while growing up. (I got on the internet late too.) But I'm active in some of the fandoms above through Discord at times. I'm mainly a lurker but I like seeing what people are into (or seeing if they know the thing :eyes: )

I'm into #linguistics, #comics #history and #design, though you won't see much of those on here, given this is my fandom account. ( boop @naan )

I'm also Puerto Rican straight from the island (though living in the US for (checks notes), wow, 18 yrs!! And by next week I will no longer be in my mid 30s. Oh nooo. Well, anyway  My account is mostly SFW but I interact with accounts that are more adult-oriented. Please keep that in mind, and go cry to your mother if you ignore the warning and complain afterwards.

The printed non photo blue sketch has been waiting for me to ink it for almost three years  My silly defense is that uh, 2022 was bad in general and the other two years got swamped with other priorities  

Anyway! This is a wraparound cover to a fanbook for the character Lia Nelson, The Flash, from #TangentComics, filled with art and headcanons I did around 2014/15 to uhhh 2017? Plus new planned art for the book. 💫

Since I'm planning to work on my Enemy Ace fanmix for the last time, I've been thinking about, well, fanmixes/mixtapes. They got a huge boom during peak Tumblr years and imo, it was great exposure to how people perceived characters AND new music!

Did y'all do fanmixes/mixtapes? Where can we listen to it? Alternatively, what mixes by other people were your faves?

I still think all my #TangentComics mixes rock, personally  https://jadinerhine.tumblr.com/post/629327481826131968/looks-like-your-old-pal-naan-completely-forgot-to

I usually try not to show WIPs of websites I'm working on, but I thought I'd show them off today. Planned fansites for #KishinCorps and #TangentComics  As you can tell, the KC one was last updated in March lol, mostly today has been Tangent.

One of these will be very easy compared to the #EnemyAce site and one of these...may just debut next year LMAO

Also a nice break from coding wiki database stuff  (which I will be going back to now, godspeed, me)

Speaking of #TangentComics...I want to shout-out this artist. I don't think they made any more Lia art but it's some of the cutest art I've seen in ages! I'd love to commission them one day, either for more Lia or my own OCs.
