Hello everyone. We’ve all blinked and now we are nearing the end of May. Some of us played with the Domaystic challenge. I’m surprised how much I’ve drawn for it. 20 prompts done out of 31. Though for some days I certainly drew more than one panel, so call that very evened out?

I hope the original errors that was making it hard for people to fediverse is settling down some. Love to be corrected if wrong, but this is the only fanfic place that has any sign of life in any fediverse I’ve seen! Is there anything that may help others feel more like chatting on here or is it largely just the tech issues and the very small/quiet crowd?

Goodness, I do miss the activity of reddit. I think it might be one of the reasons why I’m pining for interactions in the fandom of my latest hyperfixation when I usually am able to sit back and pretend it doesn’t exist. I was able to get my fandom community needs in a slightly more abstracted way.

I am not in the House of the Dragons fandom so it's all new/news to me. Don't know if there is anyone here who is who wants to talk about their experience with it within or outside of AO3?

Despite the latest issues of life, a oneshot I started working on last week is nearly at 5k words. I just. I can't even. My brain usually struggles just to do 1k words in that frame. How.

Also now drawing things for Domaystic. That is less wild to me because. Well. Drawing has always been easier than words.

One day I'll get back to my main comic but not going to fight my brain on this. Riding this hyperfixation high for however long it will let me.

Finished that shipping week event with 2 late pieces but getting 5/7 prompts (with 2 of them being written onehots) is honestly way more than I expected of myself. Especially since my usual pace of finishing a 1k word oneshot is 3 months. This likely means said texts are a big mess but maybe people will be distracted enough by my doodles for the event? lol

Hoping to collab with a friend for Domaystic. As in will do some doodles to compliment their awesome writing.

All of this and haven't done a thing for my comic's anniversary. Well, not a complete lie. I have been working on the pages for this month. I just haven't gotten enough done to be able to post them. And as we know readers to be, working on something isn't the same as actually being done. But hey, still have some days left of this month!

This little place has gotten very quiet but hope everyone is ok. Please stay safe.

If anyone has doubts that their idea is too niché to be read, my Squirrel Stapler/Slay the Princess oneshot has gotten 40 hits since I uploaded it some 20ish hours ago.

I cannot remember who introduced the Finished What You Started here, but that oneshot is my contribution to the event! I have so many other WIPs. I dared think I was going to finish a Pokémon piece or even a Sakuna: Rice&Ruin one I've had since last year. But nooooo (I say despite the fact we still have time left)

Also got to contribute to a week event! No way am I going to fulfill the whole week of prompts but it was so nice to find something I could play and contribute to.

Hope everyone is holding up. Please be safe!

Learning to draw new characters in both their original style and trying to decide how to translate them into whatever the heck mine is.

Been also drawing a bunch of comics that at best 2 other people will ever see. Should be preparing for my 5th anniversary for my main comic as some gracious readers have given me questions to play with for the QnA but brain isn't quite ready to return to that yet.

Hope everyone has had something nice happen to them this month and has something to look forward to the next~

when the fandom vibes are strong

Weekend roundup! What are you writing? Reading? Drawing?

TELL ME.

deciding to share some old #fanart crimes of #watercolour on lined paper

For myself I'm 2 pages away from finishing my latest comic! It's also dawned on me I need to upload 3 finished comics to my Ao3. Just need to set up the mirror for the images since, well, Ao3 can't directly host it.

A oneshot is in a sense completed but still needs tweaking so the words flow right. Its to a franchise I haven't written to before and going on my usual streak- seems like a rather dead fandom lol.

For readings I'll be hoping some of my bookmarks updated and also steadily chipping away at my Marked for Later list.

Very rough but wanted this magazine to have an icon! Based off of the popular kbin mascot designed by FixedFun and further tweaked by Minnieo. Tried to represent some of the big fandoms on here but this draft only ended up with 4.

Honestly I think it would be nicer to instead check in on everyone's main fandom for this magazine. Obviously if your fandom doesn't have a simple symbol it will be harder to apply. But I'd like to try!

Please, critique/suggest away!

It's going to have a few little bonus stories added but a 12 year old fancomic I read has finally finished! That kind of power to push through is not something you see often regardless if it's fandom or original work. So amazing~

Few things more shocking than having a decade+ old fanfic suddenly get a comment!

#fanfiction

what if I was so close to finishing another oneshot but my freaking brain won't let me focus on it

#fanfiction

Sometimes despite how much you enjoy a subject your brain for some reason cannot math out how to get those concepts out of your head and into the world at large.

I have a lot of these myself which I'll try to comment below, how about you?
