#Hermit-a-day streamathon

[fantasykiri5]

Figured I should post what I worked on during the Hermit-A-Day Streamathon yesterday! We drew a one mister Joel Smallishbeans (as became a reoccurring theme throughout the rest of the stream lmao)

I had a fucking BLAST on stream yesterday, so thanks to everyone that came and hung out!!

Introducing the Hermit-a-Day Streamathon!

Good morning everyone! It is with no small amount of excitement that I bring you today's announcement!

On January 26th, Team HADM will be hosting a streamathon featuring some of our favorite artists and friends of the blog! We've got ten hours of programming lined up for you, including games, live art, and two amazing panels featuring incredible guests like a10 (Hermitzine, Morning Star Zine), Sixteenthdays (The Hermit Archives), MawoftheMagnetar (Eldritch Horror Keralis), and more!

During the streamathon, we will be taking tips to help cover expenses for Hermit-a-Day May. Your financial support would be appreciated, but of course will not be required - you're more than welcome to just sit back and enjoy the show!

I'm really thrilled to be able to bring this show to life, and I'm looking forward to seeing all of you in the chat on January 26th!

ONE MISTER SMALLISHBEANS HIMSELF!

I drew him far before I would’ve if I’d just gone in order of most wanted character. Because. Have you seen my blog? It’s my brand at this point. (And also because I did the sketch on live for the Hermit-A-Day Streamathon but you get my point)

EDIT: I went in and changed him a little bit actually, you should go HERE to find that because I like it better

[hermitadaymay]

...until the Hermit-a-Day Streamathon!

See you on our YouTube then!

[hermitadaymay]

Here's the full streamathon vod for anyone who missed out!

Tipping information and timestamps have been added in the description for easy navigation.

In the coming days, panels and other segments will be posted in their own videos in case you're only looking to watch one part of our programming.

Make sure you check out that final timestamp for an exciting announcement about this year's Hermit-a-Day May...

[hermitadaymay]

Thank you all for an awesome Solstice! All these amazing fanworks, made as they were in the spirits of community and passion, really brightened the shortest day of the year and served as a great reminder as to why I started the Hermit-a-Day May event in the first place.

If you haven't posted your Solstice Social fanwork yet, no worries - I'll keep an eye on the tag for any late arrivals.

As for you all, keep your eyes on this blog (and our Bluesky) for updates on our streamathon special coming in January!

-Mod Luna

Happy Solstice!

I'm looking forward to seeing what our Solstice Social Collaborative Fanwork Event participants have made together!

Remember to tag your completed challenge fanwork #solsticesocial so we can find and reblog it!

Here's the link to the AO3 collection, if you're posting your fanwork there!

[hermitadaymay]

The last segment of the streamathon, Minecraft Bingo, starts in five minutes, and will be followed by a special announcement!

After the streamathon, we're all going to get some sleep, and then tomorrow we'll start putting up the vods!

Finally, I'm going to leave our tipping links here. We've had an anonymous benefactor come forward during the stream and offer to match the total tips we receive with additional donations to Gamers Outreach! So by tipping us for the streamathon content, not only are you helping us pay the Hermit-a-Day May incentive artists for their efforts, but you're also indirectly giving even more to our charity!

Curious about how we run Hermitzine behind the scenes? Looking to run your own zine and not sure where to start? Our mods Unnecessary Redstone (logistics, art) and a10 (participant communication, social media, art) will be appearing on the Hermit-A-Day streamathon Behind The Zines panel alongside some other amazing zine mods to talk zine creation and logistics (and spreadsheets!)

(Red promises the spreadsheets will be interesting.)
