My name is Adrian Ferrer, aka Sixten, in Seattle, Washington, USA. I would like to share my recently completed Toho Project fanbook with you. I admit the story is kind of weak, but the art does seem to be up to the standards of this site. Follow the link below to read the whole thing (48 pages). I hope you enjoy it.
Edit: Just read the notice about the maximum size of images. Here's a smaller image.

Ah! I read this doujin just a few weeks ago and rec'd it to a friend of mine, I liked it so. I haven't seen good English-original Touhou doujin in way too long.

It was a pretty nice doujin indeed. Simple, but effective. I hope you're planning on continuing your doujin work, you've got a talent for it.

Tenshi and IcedFairy: Thank you for your support. My books still have script problems; I don't spend as much time writing as I should. I'm glad people like my work nonetheless.
I admit I started thinking "Did I mess something up and people are just too nice to tell me?" when the response to Autumn Children on my blog and deviantart wasn't as big as the response to my first book, Fairy Ring. It turned out though, that there was much more of a response on Twitter (Autumn Children is my most tweeted and pixiv-bookmarked Toho post). Blogs are so old school now it seems. Wherever I get them, compliments are like fuel, they keep me going.
I'm starting on a new doujinshi, one with a less crack pairing (Youmu x Reisen, in fact). I wish these books didn't take so long to do.

Just read it. Cute!

That was great! A simple, but lovely story, and it made me appreciate both the Aki sisters a bit more.
By the way, that pub is almost within walking distance to my house, but I've never been! Fancy a Guinness? :justasplanned:
Have I met you before at any conventions around here? I love that there are so many Touhou fans in Seattle :)

@Overcoat: I'm glad you like the book.
As for Finnegan's, unfortunately the pub closed on Jan. 2 this year. Mr. Hughes told the owner of the nearby Lucky Diner that he was deciding what to do with the place - whether to sell it or reopen it as a different restaurant. A pity, since I liked the food and was a regular. Of course, I did have a Guinness there.
I've never been to any conventions, but that changes this year. My publisher, DoujinPress of California, has applied for a small press table at Sakura-Con (March 29-31 this year) and I am going to staff that table if it gets approved. If not, I will still be at the convention as a regular attendee. Another DoujinPress author, Melanie Herring (http://www.papayakitty.com (http://www.papayakitty.com)) has already secured a table for herself and her Pokemon doujins. Maybe I'll see you there.

Yay the world needs more
Shizuko Shizuha. Nice story, and yay for the Youmu x Reisen :)
You should draw some story with Hina too, I like your Hina drawings.

Have to say I quite enjoyed this story. I have to agree it's quite uncommon to find good English language Touhou doujins in recent times. The art is quite pleasing as well. The inking style reminds me of old noir detective comics, which I rather like.
Keep up the good work! Will be looking forward for more stuff frm ye in future.
