Its a horrid self fulfilled prophecy. No one wants to move because its small. Thus, it stays small. Sadly a lot of the migrations died because 1) a lot of people are not familiar with trying new tools and if they can't immediately grasp they will drop it and 2) no federation was ready for the original surge and thus all of them crashed a lot.

Funny enough, I am largely a lurker on most platforms! Sometimes the size of the community doesn't stop me from chatting because my special interest overrides the anxieties. I talked a lot on r/fanfiction!

As for how to appeal I really do not know. One of my favourite subreddits got sadly weird when reddit was removing mod and handicap assailable tools. They insisted they couldn't move because they would loose their culture, their community. As if what makes the community isn't the people, but the site itself. (Not to say how a site is structured can't be vital in how a community interacts with each other, because it super does!) But aside from reddit's size, it doesn't have anything that other federations don't have either.

 

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?

absorb the words!

 

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.

I'll say you needed the break. You've been dreading that chapter for a long time before it became the next chapter to post.

If I ever get a comment on an older piece it usually is because I've posted something else recently in a more active fandom. Despite seeing the easy logic it happens so rarely it still catches one off guard when it finally happens. Lovely to hear it happening to you!

The part of season 2 was such an upgrade jump from season 1 I'm trying very hard not to have higher expectations for the next set!

 

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.

Ooooh. Yeah I have one last post for that pairing week too. As in, I'm just doing one more, not that I've nearly completed the prompts. 4 out of 7 is a passing grade right? Sour I couldn't pull myself for a sickfic. Always a sucker for that classic.

Best wishes to helping your brain navigate that duel! Can't remember if I've mentioned before, but would it help to find real life duelists playing with similar sets?

Domaystic! Got inspired by a certain WIP and wanted to draw the Driving oneshot but fuck fuck fuck getting any visual reference of someone driving that isn't just a damn profile is hideous. I could turn off visual safety and find some porn angle shots but my sex-postive part of my aroaceness falls apart as soon as reality gets involved. Ugh.

I won't have kids. I absolutely have taught other people's kids though.

 

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!

I'm in the liminal space of what could be considered a fan of Sonic. Largely know it because it means a lot to friends and have deeply enjoyed what the fandom itself has made more than the original work itself. So there is a good lot here I know I'm not getting but am enjoying the ride.

Oh goodness, I haven't a clue on how to easily take images from a site like that. You could check to see where else the comic might be hosted? Perhaps there is an easier place to grab it?

[–] borzoiteeth@kbin.social 1 points 5 months ago

So I completely misremembered and the challenge is a tumblr post.

I know my big issue if I was writing would be the rng aspect of the game, thus the idea of referencing an actual play. I have no idea how much the change of proper rules have completely destroyed the ability for you to echo the original duel, let alone a replication(?) duel. I hope you'll allow yourself forgiveness of a possibly sloppy card play as the more you get through this arc it will only get better (in the meantime, regardless of the card play quality, you have the rest that reads out so well!).

Thank you!

Well damn my original comment got eaten. The only recommendation I have is a Sonic fancomic: The Heart of a Monster. It's a rewrite of Unleashed. Taking place 10 months after Shadow's game and will apparently explore the timeline reset from 2006. Not sure how fast a comic reader you are but there are 300 pages of story thus far!

Good luck on your trip!

Ah, also forgot to add that I finally started expanding my dreamwidth blog! Don't quite understand the limits of posting images but hosting on another spot like tumblr is no big deal.

[–] borzoiteeth@kbin.social 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Started somewhere in March and I know it ends when April does. I cannot find the original post that mentions it on here for some reason. And further frustrating because I feel it has to also be a dreamwidth post but I also can't find that.

Yeah. The actual card game lol. Perhaps has anyone tried replaying that duel with the real cards that you can reference? I remember there was a video some time ago where a few duelist played out Sugoroku's deck against Seto's to find out in delight that because Sugoroku's deck is literally full of "pathetic cards" it makes Seto's virus strat completely useless lol.

Do you have a link for the Domaystic prompts? It would be nice to see if any of them will play with me.

~~listen. for some reason i desire more surrealist bullshit ok~~

 

In some bizarre brain melt while in one hyperfocused fandom I finally strayed into a couple of WIPs that have been ignored for a time. Here's to hoping maybe I can have something to show for the Finish What You Started Challenge?

One is a f/f Sakuna: Rice and Ruin but the f/f is too realistic because it barely gets addressed (hopefully I'll be able to pull it more forward in edits?) but to be fair the focus is largely on these two idiots better understanding each other (that's the hottest thing ever right?).

And the other is a crack crossover involving staples and rodents. The little I did write before was honestly just for a joke to annoy friends but now my mind has a better idea on how to expand it.

Oh I hope that means you found your drawing tablet! (or was it your pen you lost, can't remember)

Exciting that the fic revival is still going strong!

 

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~

Heck, and I love critique. I love being aware of what it takes to create the craft and calling out trash. But there is so much misinformation that people wield like a weapon happily.

Well, I don’t mind not getting (direct) engagement. My issue is people not seeing enough activity to feel its warrant enough to join. Enough people do it and it becomes self-fulfilled fate.

There is a particular community on reddit I love deeply but the idea of everyone migrating to a different platform was largely spoken of as if it was an act of betrayal. As if reddit itself was the entire reason the community was as it is instead of everyone who acts within it. I occasionally check in on it, but haven't been logged on for... I have no idea at this point hhhh
