September started yesterday, which means Sketchtember for me. I'm gonna use this month to sketch a bunch of fanart I have a backlog of, there's a lot of characters I want to draw from doll lines I like.

My only current "project" is more research for the fantasy story I've been working on, and theme park ride research for future doll stuff.

I have a story rumbling around in my head, too. I was considering doing NaNoWriMo (for the first time), but after reading their stance on AI (and the verbiage used), that's not going to happen.

I've been working on and off for about half my lifetime. It's actually starting to turn into . . . Something.

I think I'm going to start working on completing my G1 Monster High collection . . . Or at least completing it as much as I can. I was originally collecting the "main school outfit" of each character, with a few exceptions (like Catty Noir). I don't really care for the newer dolls, they just don't do it for me, but there are a handful of characters I'm missing from Gen 1 that I still want, and they're only going to go up in price. I know I'll never get the Scarah/Hoodude or Valentine/Whisp sets because they've become astronomically expensive (especially since they confirmed Val is LGBT), but some of the play line dolls I can still get. Plus, I've lost the pets and purses and diaries for a lot of the dolls, which I want to get to complete them. So that's my current "project" I guess.

If we lived closer I'd be of half a mind to sell you my whole batch, minus like the reroots and perhaps a few others, because they've spent the last 5 years or so in storage tubs. I pretty much have all the regular Monsters, extra clothes, diaries, accessories including sticky ones in separate bags, and what stands have survived.

Would you believe me if I said I actually still have Nefera, Operetta, and Cupid's rings? Granted, I used school glue to affix them to their hands back in the day so they could be soaked off if I so desired, but I do have them!

I really need to get my ghouls out and give their hair their semi-decade degunking. Poor Twyla . . . She was screwed from the started.

Has anyone heard of or tried the oxiclean method for degunking doll hair? I saw another collector talking about it, and if I could potentially NOT have to spend several sessions using goo gone, that would be GREAT.

Random update with a piece of advice for my fellow Gen 1 Monster High ghoulies. If you're going to store them, wrap them in tissue paper. I pulled mine back out of storage, and the glue seepage, while there, is actually not horrible. I had them wrapped in tissue paper originally to prevent color bleeding between outfits and dolls, but the paper actually helped absorb a lot of the glue. Even OG Twyla's hair is actually brushable! (If you know, you know.)

So yeah, I guess that's my tip for storing the old Monster High ghouls and mansters.
