Overview
M88youngling's journals are two notebooks containing handwritten logs of M88youngling's activities on LittleBigPlanet. The first journal's initial entry is November 4th, 2011 and the last entry of the second journal dates to August 31st, 2016. These journals provide important information about the Union schism, the Commando Recon Operations and the Interstellar Space Corps, the Shadow Epoch, and most importantly the rebuilt LittleBigPlanet Union. The journals were never revealed to the public and thus had no impact on the community.
Origin
The first notebook was received by M88youngling as a gift from a classmate sometime before December 5th, 2010 or on that date. The entries that follow up to November 4th, 2011 have no relevance to LittleBigPlanet. The second journal started being kept after the original notebook was completely full. The second journal's first entry is September 25th, 2014.
Details
M88youngling's journals were kept daily but rarely were kept over weekends. Earlier entries seem to include Online Create Battle arms research and development in addition to clan events. These earlier entries also seem to demonstrate the juvenile nature of M88youngling in these years. Even though the first journal starts in 2011, it does not mention nearly anything about the schism until much later, meaning that information about the schism is not recoverable from these writings.
A curated digital record of the journals is being archived here. It should be noted that these journals are the property of M88youngling and sections may be omitted for privacy, especially in the first journal.
